Staff Sgt. Timothy Shea 

How do you support the mission here?
I'm a Utilities Systems Craftsman. I provide service contract management to maintain potable and waste water distribution. 

How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? This is my fifth deployment. This deployment is unique because I am the only person from my career field assigned to the 387th Air Expeditionary Group. Therefore, I'm relied upon to be the expert of knowing the best way to accomplish the mission. It is great being part of this very select CE team and to know that what we do here every day provides a better quality of life for everybody and mission success. 

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? I provide contract quality assurance evaluation rather than actually maintaining systems.
