 The maintainer is hard-working, a problem-solver, motivated, they keep the Mew fly. That's why I chose the B-1. My name is Corporal Timothy Berman. I'm a V-22 avionics technician, Colorado Duny Specter, and I'm a VMM-163. The maintainer's place on the Mew is a very big place. These aircraft fly almost daily. Aircrafts have a lot of discrepancy as they need to get fixed. It's our job to fix them. On the Mew, we're in a different environment. These birds react differently to it. Having the saltwater air around us, that's definitely kind of bad for our avionics components. So we see a lot of different issues that we wouldn't see as to where back in the rear. So without safe aircraft, without the maintainers providing safe aircraft and providing safe maintenance done on those aircraft, aircraft wouldn't be able to fly and transport people from point A to point B. Without maintainers, you wouldn't be able to sustain aircraft. Aircraft wouldn't be able to fly. You wouldn't be able to transport those ground troops from the boat to shore and back. What keeps me motivated to keep working on these hot days is making sure that the aircraft have safe maintenance performed on them. I'm a little girl. I work every day to see her. Being that force and readiness, the fact that I'm part of something big, part of something a lot bigger than what I am. Being able to see the aircraft that I work on eventually take off and fly. And to me that's the most rewarding part of my job.
