Deployed maintainers get their hands dirty and the job done
Staff Sgt. Adam R. Tate, 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron, squeezes through a tight space inside of a PD-501 ground cart air conditioner to change a faulty water pump at a Southwest Asia air base June 18. The air conditioning unit cools the inside of an aircraft allowing maintenance crew to perform their duties. Sergeant Tate is originally from Batesville, Ark. deployed from Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Johnny L. Saldivar)
