SOUTHWEST ASIA --  Senior Airman Alex Vos 

Electrical Power Production journeyman

Home unit/base: 119th Fighter Wing, Fargo N.D. 

How do you support the mission here? As a Power Production journeyman, I am responsible for many mission critical and essential duties. Some of those duties include the operation and safety of a 4,500 kilowatt power plant operating at over 4,000 volts. It also includes the inspection and maintenance of two sets of mobile aircraft arresting systems which are responsible for stopping an aircraft from incurring any damage when if a system failure occurs. I am also responsible for mobile gas-powered lighting sets dispersed around base, which greatly increase safety and allow normal daytime operations to progress through the night.
