Romelo Hernandez, 47th Security Forces policeman, prepares ammunition at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, Sept. 25, 2019, during tryouts for the San Antonio Basic Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) course. Senior Master Sgt. Dwight Valeros, 47th Security Forces Squadron manager, boasted the defenders who signed up for SAWT tryouts didn’t have to be there. “For them to come out and push through shows a lot of grit and will, and that’s what we want to see,” Valeros said.
