How many times have you deployed and what makes this deployment unique? This is my first deployment and I wasn't sure what to expect; but, having the opportunity to work with the Army has shown me we are not that different because at the end of the day we just want to accomplish the mission as best we can.

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? My job at home station consist of delivery parts to the flight line and shuttling aircrews to/from the flight line. In the deployed environment my contribution to the mission is significant because I ensure the vehicles that are used for our convoy missions are properly maintained and ready when the need arises.
