 You know that first sip of fresh brewed coffee in the morning? That's dagger brigade. We ain't the kind to go looking for the spotlight. We don't need the awards. We do our job just fine in the motor pool or battlefield without getting a pat on the back. Of course, when something does break, then the spotlight finds us. The dagger brigade doesn't have self-fixing equipment. We are the dagger maintainers. The power behind the fight. And when it's not hot, miserable, greasy and dirty work, it's cold, miserable, greasy and dirty work. We hate it, but we love it, because we love this country and our job. We love the pressure, the deadlines, and the last minute calls. Because if it was easy, our jobs wouldn't exist. With our hand, we make these tanks move, we make these paladins fire, we even make these generators start. We're inside this equipment, inside these engines, every switch, every button that every operator pushes. That's us. We made it happen. You think a tank firing looks cool? Wait until you see how fast we can put one back together after they break down so that you can get right back in the fight. We are the dagger brigade pit crew. We have skills that no one will understand. You won't get it until you have to do it yourself. Yes, DIY is a thing. And that's the closest you will ever get to what we do. You see how difficult it can be? We do it every day. We are as important as the tanker, as the operator. Because if we don't do our job right, they can't win the fight. We have to roll up our sleeves and get you on the road. We know we're good. We don't need other people to tell us. When you see these tanks coming, or hear those generators turn on, think of a maintainer. We are a special breed, dedicated to our brigade and our country. Tirelessly devoted to our mission. We pull 12 hours. We work late. And sometimes we work on the weekends. Because if it breaks, we fix it, no matter what. We are the men and women who keep the dagger brigade rolling. We are the grease, the sweat, the blood, and the tools, making sure that the brigade is mission capable. Duty, honor, country, dagger strong.
