 From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is the Army Now. Picking up the gears of war, meet a Combat Recovery team member who tells us about why he raised his right hand. I wanted to become a mechanic. I joined right out of high school. It was the easiest opportunity I had to learn how to become a mechanic, just get a basic start. Back early on, towards the beginning in the middle of the deployment, we were having a steady flow of record missions every day or two. If we weren't out here recovering these trucks, they would just sit out there. Local nationals or the Taliban would take control of that vehicle, tear it apart, get parts off of it, maybe even turn the vehicle itself into a weapon against our own guys. We get it back and it's not too badly damaged, we can fix it and get that truck right back in the fight. For more about the Army, check out the Army's homepage at army.mil.
