Capt. Justin P. Morrison and Capt. Kyle T. Myer get ready for take-off in an AH-1Z Viper, while Sgt. Austin B. Shepard and Lance Cpl. Jesus Gallegos finish the final pre-flight checks during a training event on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 8, 2018. The pilots are getting flight training while wearing the Joint Protective Aircrew Ensemble (JPACE) and Respirator equipment. The training event was to familiarize pilots with the JPACE. The JPACE will increase the protection provided over existing garments while reducing heat stress and system weight. The equipment will provide chemical protection against all liquid, particle, vapor and aerosol from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents. Morrison and Myer are AH-1Z pilots with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. Shepard and Gallegos are crew chief’s with HMLA-369, MAG-36, 1st MAW. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Jessica Etheridge)
