 My name is Sergeant Jake Hartley. I'm a 1345 Engineer Equipment Operator with Marine Wing Support Squadron 373. My job out here on Catalina Island is to operate the reclaimer and supervised road construction. So when it comes to road construction, it starts out with reclaiming the road, grinding up the material, making sure it's nice and fluffy for the Portland to be laid down. The Portland is what solidifies the road and makes it hard. The reclaimer will then come back and mix both material and the Portland together. Afterwards the graders will come out and finalize the product and from there we'll water it down and compact it to its final form. What we're doing out here on Catalina is taking these roads that have been aged for decades, reshaping them, making them more safe for the civilian population, taking gravel and other loose dirt, taking that away and giving the ability for hikers, bikers, motorists in general, just to be able to drive safe on these roads that they've been worried about for decades now.
