Spc. Roberto Garza, a wheeled-vehicle mechanic, drains fuel from the tank of a Humvee Nov. 22, at Forward Operating Base Falcon in southern Baghdad's Rashid District. Garza, a Dallas native, said he likes being a mechanic because it is always a "hands on" job. Garza spends his days repairing engines, transmissions, or conducting quality assurance/quality control checks for Soldiers. He is assigned to Company B, 4th Support Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Multi-National Division-Baghdad. Garza is a veteran with four years of service.
