Next Adventure...Whiteman AFB, MO

MSgt Moulton began his last year in AK so Krystal could finish her senior year. They began planning there trip to MO and what trip it was...

First, can you imagine packing up a family of five and moving to MO with a few stops? Two cars, camper, two four wheelers on a trailer, and don't for get one dog and two cats...Oh and five people!!!!

Second, a month early before leaving on July 1 we moved out of base housing into the camper...with all that stuff!

Third, they started the trip and soon MSgt Moulton notices a wheel rolling on the highway! What he just bought those tires for the camper! Well that is a story you should hear about from the family. Everyone has a view on this event!

They stopped in Texas to attend Krystal's college orientation at UTA then off to MO.

MSgt Moulton was assigned to Whiteman AFB, MO, 393rd Bomb Squadron.

The 393rd Bombardment Squadron is the only United States Air Force squadron to carry out nuclear attacks on the enemy in combat. During World War II, its aircraft attacked Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 and Nagasaki, Japan, on 9 August 1945 with atomic bombs.

MSgt Moulton worked on the B-2. The B-2 reactivated in 1993 as first operational B-2 Spirit stealth bomber squadron. The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is an American strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft defenses; it is able to deploy both conventional and nuclear weapons. The bomber has a crew of two and can drop up to eighty 500 lb (230 kg)-class JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400 lb (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.
