 My name is Master Sergeant Andrew Boulayan, production superintendent, 101st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron in Bangalore, Maine. So I participated in Copper Arrow. It's an air refueling mission supporting Silver Arrow and NATO training and security in Europe, and it was based out of Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany. It's theater security and training where putting a lot more emphasis on security of Eastern Europe just to make sure that our friends over there are behaving. So we're constantly monitoring, you know, a variety of different assets. We provided air refueling to NATO and Allied aircraft in theater as far north as the United Kingdom and then as far east as Poland. So we flew a total of 27.4 hours while we were there and that was five sorties and we offloaded 130,000 pounds of fuel. So the receivers were able to do their mission. That's why we're here to be a force multiplier. Maintenance worked cohesively in all aspects of the job everybody pitched in and the typical maniacs fashion were flexible. You know, we can provide air refueling, air lift and we can move personal and cargo. We had a positive impact over there in the theater and I'm hoping we do the mission again. I think that the National Guard provides a lot of flexibility that the active duty component doesn't. Our skill sets a little different. We have drill status guardsmen that have experience in real world that they bring to the table. You know, they may be really great communicators. You know, they're highly motivated, energetic and you know, it's exciting to travel and do a different mission in a different location. And I think we're all hungry. Hungry to do that and show what we can do. It was a great experience. You know, as a production superintendent to go take several airmen from the 101st Air Refueling Wing, perform a mission off station and do it flawlessly. You know, I'm proud to be a maniac. I'm proud to travel around the world. You know, wear our patch. Show the world what we can do with, you know, the 10-hour planes that we have here at Bangalore. We're looked upon with a lot of respect. Super proud to be associated.
