 I didn't really know what I wanted to do after high school. I didn't want to go to college yet, and I felt like the Marine Corps could help me build some confidence. And then once I got air crew contract, it was a done deal. I'm Corporal Aaron Lucas. My hometown is Sulphur Springs, Texas. And my job description is CH-53 Echo Crew Chief. I've been with 464 since January of this year. When I heard about the Echo, it seemed like the most versatile aircraft. We can defend ourselves with our GAL-21s. We're very maneuverable. We can be somewhere and not be there very quickly. And when the birds go out, we're like the voice in the back of the pilot's head reassuring them that things are OK because they're doing a lot of stuff up front. They're trying to see a lot of stuff. And in the back, we're just backing them up on everything. Calls, troops, and also getting them into zones safely. And should there be a threat, it's our job to neutralize them or suppress them. I feel like crew chiefs are really important for this exercise.
