Staff Sgt. Jason Davis, an aerial gunner from the 55th Rescue Squadron here, explains the HH-60 Pavehawk “minigun” to members of the University of Arizona’s football team during their visit to the base Aug. 17. "They came to see how we teach and become a team – how we motivate," said 55th RQS Commander Lt. Col. Massey, who organized the visit after the 55th RQS previously joined UA football coaches in a physical training session at UA’s Arizona Stadium. Upon their departure, the team presented the squadron with a football helmet autographed by all the coaches. “We really appreciate what you all do,” said Mike Stoops, UA’s head football coach.
