Six-foot two-inch Ventress, La. native, Command Sgt. Maj. Joe Major (left,) from the 225th Engineer Brigade, stands in front of the 14-foot wide blade attached to the military D-9 Bulldozer with Pfc. Eric Salinas (right), a member of the 46th Eng. Combat Battalion (Heavy), 225th Eng. Bde., 1st Cavalry Division. Salinas, from Victoria, Texas, showed Major how to operate the large piece of machinery while clearing debris around Sather Air Base on Victory Base Complex April 27. "I have driven a lot of dozers in my time," said Major who has more than 30-years in the National Guard. "Like the D-7 and D-8, but nothing as big as the D-9. It was an experience."
