 Aviation maintenance personnel assigned to Helicopter C Combat Squadron 12 know that job performance doesn't just stop at Hanger Bay Doors. This is a big issue because there's pilot's lives at hand, at stake here. You don't want to have any mishaps or anything like that from the workstations all the way out to when they're flying. If we do something wrong and the bird isn't functioning right in the air, it's pretty big hazard. So essentially their life is in our hands and we don't mess up. More than 200 sailors have dedicated their careers to the 10 SH-60 Sierra Seahawks operated by HSC-12. It's 100% dedication and everyone that I've worked with here has dished out the 100% dedication and that's really important to me because I feel like I'm learning from them and they're showing me 100% dedication and I'm going to put out 100% dedication. From major overhauls to a slight turn of a wrench. Every job these sailors do affects their ability to perform as a multi-mission squadron. Let's say that one of their mikes go out and they can't communicate back and forth to each other. Then everything from there on out makes it a lot harder on the pilots and on the air crew. Without maintenance and all the maintainers doing their job and doing their jobs well there's no way we would be able to go up into the air, fly, do our missions, practice for a mission. Behind every flight of every mission lies the hard work, sweat and devotion of every single sailor in this squadron. Petty Officer Michael Storey, Naval Air Facility at Sugi, Japan.
