00:09.860 --> 00:12.082
my name is John Houseman , I'm a senior

00:12.082 --> 00:14.249
airman and I work for aerospace ground

00:14.249 --> 00:16.416
equipment . I really joined to be like

00:16.416 --> 00:18.638
a mechanic and whenever I got into this

00:18.638 --> 00:20.693
career field , really what you do is

00:20.693 --> 00:22.916
pretty much diesel engines , so what we

00:22.916 --> 00:25.138
do is we , we work on all the equipment

00:25.138 --> 00:27.304
that is used on the jets . So like all

00:27.304 --> 00:29.471
of our generators , conditioners , all

00:29.471 --> 00:31.582
of our theaters and stuff like that .

00:31.582 --> 00:33.416
All the crew chiefs that use our

00:33.416 --> 00:35.471
equipment to work on the jets to put

00:35.471 --> 00:37.693
them back up in the air . We have three

00:37.693 --> 00:39.804
sections , one drives the flight line

00:39.804 --> 00:41.971
which delivers all of our equipment to

00:41.971 --> 00:43.971
the jets and then the other two are

00:43.971 --> 00:45.638
maintenance and inspections ,

00:45.638 --> 00:47.360
maintenance does all the heavy

00:47.360 --> 00:47.250
maintenance , like if anything breaks

00:47.260 --> 00:50.220
or anything happens to go wrong and

00:50.220 --> 00:52.276
then our inspection shop pretty much

00:52.276 --> 00:54.331
does preventative maintenance , like

00:54.331 --> 00:56.387
oil changes , filters without ground

00:56.387 --> 00:58.553
power wouldn't have air power . So all

00:58.553 --> 01:00.609
the crew chiefs use our equipment to

01:00.609 --> 01:02.831
simulate stuff that would happen in the

01:02.831 --> 01:05.053
air just in case like if something went

01:05.053 --> 01:04.560
wrong , they could do it on the ground ,

01:04.560 --> 01:06.670
see if they can fix it in our career

01:06.670 --> 01:08.960
field . What makes me the most proud

01:08.960 --> 01:11.127
would be finding something that nobody

01:11.127 --> 01:13.238
else could like figure out and fixing

01:13.238 --> 01:15.293
it and then seeing it go back out on

01:15.293 --> 01:16.080
the line to be used
