It was December 2012 when an Air Force maintainer in Qatar working on a KC-135R slipped on a cargo roller nearby, fell backwards, and received a back injury and a concussion that would keep him out of work for more than three months.
It was March 2011, an airman maintaining a T-38C at Randolph AFB lost six work days to an insect bite.
