Sgt. Mario Monarrez, an MV-22B Osprey mechanic with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 561, is awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal here, Aug. 5. Monarrez discovered a defective piece of equipment on the squadron’s first Osprey and was the first Marine to find the defective piece in Osprey history. The piece had never before been noted for inspection, and is now inspected at the manufacturing level before it’s released to the fleet. Monarrez’s vigilance earned him Marine Safety Professional of the Quarter and he helped the VMM-561 “Pale Horses” earn Unit Safety Professional of the Quarter.
