 My name is Staff Sergeant Leonard. My position here is a senior mechanic. I've been a mechanic for the military for nine years now. I was a mechanic before I joined. Growing up my dad had race cars and stuff and we built race cars is when I was young. Me, my dad, my brother. So it's kind of been a family thing just in my DNA I guess. For me being a mechanic I knew when Bravo just seemed to fit what I like to do so it was just too easy for me to choose that. My favorite part is teaching the younger soldiers. Sometimes it does get draining for soldiers in this MOS just taking stuff apart putting it back together not knowing why they're taking part or why this how the function and form of everything works. Basically like the theory of operation of all how all that works so I could teach them that theory of operation and why something was messed up or hey why are we doing this. Kind of gets them more interested in it if they want to be. The most important trait as a leader in this MOS is appearance. A leader of presence and appearance because if you use a leader as a mechanic if you're a a senior mechanic or even a squad leader mechanic and you don't know your job you can't expect your soldiers to follow you. So I think being a professional and being present and even learning alongside your soldiers hey I don't know how to do this but let's get the TM out and let's go step by step and figure this out. I'm a staff sergeant but I have no problem getting in getting my hands dirty and getting in there and helping these guys work on trucks. I just want to be I guess the best I can be at what I do.
