Delivered to the USMC in Q2/2003, and right away assigned to Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 252 "Otis" at MCAS Cherry Point (NC). The Herc flew up to mid-2012 with the squadron as was then moved to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 20 "Force" at NAS Patuxent River (MD). It returned to VMGR-252 in early 2018, and when this picture was uploaded, the C-130 still serves Otis. It is seen here resting at one of the platforms of Kandahar during a logistic supply mission for HMM-365(Reinforced) that arrived at Kandahar for a combat tour, while brother 166380/BH-380 just arrives.
