“I am a civilian trained Airframe and Power plant mechanic that had two years of schooling and five years of Aviation Maintenance experience prior to commissioning with an aviation contract,” says Spooner. “Once I checked into my first squadron, It was immediately evident to me that we could do better recruiting, training, and retaining our aviation maintainers. I felt that part of the solution in the fight to achieve greater aviation readiness might be to actively recruit from civilian aviation schools throughout our nation. Investing in our Marines on the front end of their careers would better prepare our aviation maintainers to face the daily challenges they face on the flight line.” Spooner was recruited from RS Orange, and his home town is Brea, Calif.
