MANSFIELD, Ohio (09/24/15) — The Ohio National Guard hosted several of its members’ nominated civilian employers Sept. 24, 2015, to educate them about the military jobs performed by their Citizen-Soldiers and -Airmen. During the daylong event at the 179th Airlift Wing in Mansfield, Ohio, the group got the chance to try out a weapons training simulator as well as learn about the C-130 Hercules aircraft and the CH-47 Chinook helicopter, which they were able to ride in as part of an orientation flight.
