ROCK SOLID WARRIOR Published Sept. 25, 2009 387th Expeditionary Support Squadron SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Senior Airman Aric McDonald Duty Title: power production technician Home unit: 90th Civil Engineer Squadron, F.E. Warren Air Force Base, W.Y. How do you support the mission here? I perform Quality Assurance evaluations, overseeing contractors performing power production requirements. I also perform day-to-day operational repairs of all emergency power production equipment. How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? This is my third deployment. This one is unique due to the fact that I am the only power production technician assigned to this location. I am responsible for all power production needs normally tasked to a senior NCO and an additional person. How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? I've had to learn quality assurance evaluator duties as well as performance based contracts during my time here. I'm also responsible for forecasting long range plans for future operations. At home station, my normal duties require me to maintain generators and light carts.
