 Maj.
Ed Fergus, officer in charge of Marine Aerial Refueler Squadron 252
detachment attached to 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, happily holds
two of his three children on the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry
Point flight line January 9, 2012 after an eight month deployment to
Sicily, Italy and Djibouti.
Fergus and more than 45 other
Marines returned just before noon on two of the squadron's KC-130J
Hercules.
"Up until the last month and a half or so, we had a
very high operational tempo," said Fergus. "We operated over three
different geographic commands and conducted a lot of fixed wing
refueling, helicopter refueling, aerial deliveries – the whole
gamut."
