When Jake Keplinger and Taylor Garrett returned to school at Riverside H.S. in Durham, they had plenty of stories they could tell their classmates. The two young AFROTC cadets experienced firsthand the training received by our country’s most elite fighter pilots. The students were able to accompany Mr. Nathan Taylor Garrett, Sr. on a tour of Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, NC. Mr. Garrett, Sr. serves as the chairman of the Board of Trustees of Fayetteville State University which offers classes on base. Mr. Garrett, Sr. visited SJAFB to see the programs offered by FSU. Accompanied by his grandson and his grandson’s friend, Jake, they were treated to a tour of the base. They witnessed firsthand the operation of the 333rd Squadron of the 4th Fighter wing. Seymour Johnson AFB is home to the F15E Screaming Eagles, whose mission is to defend our country’s Mid-Atlantic region and prosecute the war on terror in Southwest Asia. SJAFB is also home to the 916th Refueling Wing, which supports the F15Es and other military aircraft that needs to be refueled in mid-air.
