 Security personnel at Naval Air Facility Masawa play a vital role in protecting military assets in certain areas in the Amore prefecture. In addition to being the security detail for NAF Masawa and training Navy personnel in base security, they are also responsible for patrolling different areas off base to maintain their integrity. We patrol daily. Our main focus is our assets, naval assets. We protect them, make sure everything's good to go. Masters at Arms conduct security checks under a variety of conditions to protect their fellow service members, and although they patrol daily, the days are hardly typical. Every day is different, you know, and you come into work, you don't know what to expect, so it kind of keeps you on your toes, keeps you kind of wide awake. While the job may not always be glamorous, it will always be a necessity. Petty Officer William Berksteiner, Masawa Air Base, Japan.
