    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is working on what appears to be an aircraft ejection seat in an indoor maintenance facility. The Marine is carefully inspecting or adjusting components of the ejection seat, which has visible safety tags and warning labels attached. The setting appears to be a military aviation maintenance shop.

    Gunnery Sgt. David Freed, an aviation life support system division chief with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (All-Weather) 225 and a Boyers, Pa., native, secures the shoulder straps for a parachute in the F/A-18 ejection seat aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., Feb. 10. Seats are inspected daily to ensure they are fully functional. Approximately every two years the seats are completely torn down and the Marines in the shop test and check every component from the electronic sequencer to the leg restraints.
