Caleb Lassiter

Aircraft Maintenance Technician-Dedicate Crew Chief at I work on several assets worth a minimum of a several hundred million dollars, but mostly on several U-2S reconnaissance aircraft. They are worth upwards of over $300 million dollars and ensure intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance is provided from my most direct chain of command all the way to the pentagon in order for effective and educated wartime decisions to be made for the present and anticipation of the future. We work long 12–14-hour days regularly but the work is necessary and rewarding. I often and put in positions where I must follow orders, even if I disagree with them. However, I am often also in positions where I am entrusted with a significant task of leading myself and those around in safe and effective work guaranteeing these aircraft will be able to fly.
