2nd Lt. Veronica Dodds, aircraft maintenance unit assistant officer-in-charge assigned to the 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, speaks into a radio on the flightline at Minot Air Force Base, ND, Oct. 16, 2020. Dodds relays information from maintainers on the flightline to her commanders, which will then go to the base commander, Col. Walters. She has in person, face to face communication with the Airmen who are working around the clock to ensure the mission is complete. If any issues should arise, Dodds is there to offer advice and document everything that happens on or around a B-52.
“Maintainers get it done. They work through the cold, long hours. That’s their mission”, says Dodds. “I feel responsible for the Airmen out there.” She describes her job as humbling. Her favorite part of her position is seeing the B-52 take off at the end of the day, knowing that she helped her maintenance Airmen get the job done. Before she joined the Air Force and Team Minot, she was a tennis player. After playing in a junior league in highschool, she joined the Air Force Academy team and continued to play. In her final year at the Academy she made the switch to playing rugby. When Dodds isn’t on the flightline or briefing her commanders, she spends her spare time getting back into playing tennis again and helps teach children how to play as well.
