CAMP HURRICANE POINT, Ar Ramamdi, Iraq (March 31, 2005) --
Twenty-one-year-old Cpl. Michalson Bahe of Casa Grande, Ariz., a motor
transportation mechanic with Headquarters and Service Company, 1st
Battalion, 5th Marines, repairs the latch on a door of a humvee brought
to his garage by a Marine with Weapons Company who said it was getting
difficult to open. Bahe and Pfc. David S. Johnson, who’s also a
motor T mechanic, boast a 24-hour turn around time on all the vehicles
they work on. The two grease monkeys are responsible for maintaining
and repairing 90 of the infantry battalion’s vehicles. They stay
on call during the night and routinely find themselves burning the
midnight oil fixing humvees and 7-tons at their shop. Photo by Cpl. Tom
