MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. -- Highlighting Cherry Point's warriors.
Q: What’s your job?
A: My job is to respond to any and all explosive hazards that take place here. We’re also training for Afghanistan by getting into more specialized ordnance training.
Q: What’s your favorite aspect of your job?
A: The best part of our job is the range sweeps. We have to dispose of ordnance on different ranges and it gives us a good chance to learn the ins and outs of our job.
Q: What’s the most challenging part?
A: Keeping up with our job training on top and the required Marine Corps training is the most challenging aspect of our job because we are always training.
Q: How does your job support the mission of 2nd MAW and MCAS Cherry Point?
A: We are responsible for any explosive hazard aboard the air station and for the local area.
Q: How does your job differ from garrison to the field?
A: Usually as soon as we get in country our Marines are dispersed to forward units and eventually they end up on patrols and are responsible for disposing explosive ordnance. So over there we deal with improvised explosive devices for the most part and here we deal with explosive hazards with aircraft for the most part.
