 With their boots firmly planted on the ground, the sailors of AAMD's 900 Division keep the Navy's birds flying high. AS-2 Cameron Stoll talks about the big picture. The grand scope is basically just maintaining and repairing all the support equipment that the aircraft need. I mean, without ground support there would be no air support. Long hours these sailors put in aid in mission readiness and support the Navy's flight operations. AS-2 Jacob Spalding takes us through a day in the life of an aviation support equipment technician. I was working on a rear axle on a tow tractor trying to get it out and swapped out with a new one. The internal seals were leaking and allowing brake fluid to enter the rear axle so the fluids are mixing together and so with that happens whatever starts eating up the seals and messes up the rear axle. So we wanted to get the old axle out and put the new one in before it was not able to be used. While these sailors provide the support aircraft need to stay storing in the clouds, they also support each other. Amon Raymond Perez highlights the people of AAMD and how his shipmates have helped his career take off in a positive direction. You know, it's great working with people in my shop, it's a great bunch of people, you know, being the youngest guy in the shop they've shown me a lot to develop me as a person and as a Navy sailor.
