Highlighting Cherry Point’s warriors.
Q: What’s your job?
A: I fix electronic systems on the EA-6B Prowlers. The electronics act as the Prowler’s main weapons systems, so we have to make sure they’re up and running.
Q: What’s your favorite aspect of your job?
A: I like being up on the jet working on it and learning new things. It feels like I’m doing something to help win the war on terror.
Q: What’s the most challenging part?
A: The most challenging part of my job is finding tools and screws when they fall off the ladder. They blend in with the pavement, and they’re tiny, so it’s hard to find them once they’re lost.
Q: How does your job support the mission of 2nd MAW and MCAS Cherry Point?
A: The Prowler is an electronic warfare aircraft, so there’s no point to them unless the electronics are working.
Q: How does your job differ from garrison to the field?
A: We work more and more things break in the field. There is more wear on the aircraft on deployments so we have to work harder to fix them.
