The occupational hazard of being a tanker is the possibility of being indecently assaulted from behind by the R/X a/c. Never happened to me but have had a couple of 'interesting' situations that could have ended differently. A tendency for the RX a/c to rush things ,miss the basket and then chase it usually results in these close calls. Not suggesting that was the case here but no doubt the USMC will find out in due course.
