The 10-year employee of Minnesota Power has spent four deployments assisting with projects as a water fuels maintenance/plumber.
“Going overseas and conducting the job is fairly easy,” said Maslowski, a native of Poplar, Wisc. “The concepts are all the same.”
The University of Wisconsin-Superior alumni has always known he wanted to serve in the National Guard and having a supportive employer is a key component in his successful military career.
“I have always known I would be in the military in some form or another,” said Malowski. “My employer has been so supportive and I never had to choose…the Guard and the mission they need me to do can always come first.”
Maslowski and other Airmen from the Minnesota Air National Guard’s 148th and 133rd Civil Engineer Squadrons, along with Soldiers from the Minnesota Army National Guard’s 851st Vertical Engineer Company and the Croatian Army Engineering Horizontal Construction Company are working side-by-side to repair and to rebuild parts of a primary school in Karlovac, Croatia.
The project is a Humanitarian Civic Assistance project made possible by the US European Command in partnership with the US Embassy in Zagreb, Croatia. The project is expected to be complete in less than a month.
The six-foot-two Guardsman is build like a defensive lineman, but that just helps him put a little extra elbow grease into everything he does.
“I try to lead the way with everything that I do, I don’t care what my rank is,” said Maslowski. “They know I am not going to do anything I wouldn’t do myself.”
Working hard is a common work ethic all the engineers, regardless of branch, have in common.
“Maslowski follows the core values and has a great balance about getting the job done and playing later,” saidChief Master Sgt. Kyle Johnson, chief enlisted manager for 148th Civil Engineer Squadron. “He is an honest Airman and won’t beat around the bush.”
