Med lab tech learns resilience, growth while deployed
Staff Sgt. Aubrey J. Eckley, a medical laboratory technician assigned to the 380th Expeditionary Medical Group, wasn’t expecting to spend time at Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates, when she originally deployed from Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, to Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, as part of an immediate response force. “We keep everyone fit to fight and healthy, our ability to test for COVID-19 in our lab keeps people moving so they can get to where they’re going and keep fighting,” Eckley said
