    MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. - Unmanned aerial systems avionics technician Lance Cpl. Devin P. Masten says that the time that that he spends at work always seems to fly by.

    “I love my job because I am constantly working and always on the go. I don’t want to be stuck behind a desk all day,” he said.

    As a technician Masten often repairs UAV engines and wings, fuels the aircraft and cleans them.

    Masten says that his job has its ups and downs, but he always looks forward to going to work.

    “Even though my job is fun and exciting, there is a lot of knowledge that needs to be learned in order to be able to do my job. I love learning new things, and I am constantly making sure that I am up to date on my training qualifications,” said Masten.

    “As a technician I do more than just maintenance,” he said. “Sometimes we provide intelligence information and coordinates to Marines operating the aircraft. If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t be able to get their job done.”
