CAMP HURRICANE POINT, Ar Ramamdi, Iraq (March 31, 2005) --
Twenty-seven-year-old Pfc. David S. Johnson of Newbaltimore, Mich., a
motor transportation mechanic with Headquarters and Service Company,
1st Battalion, 5th Marines, checks the oil of a humvee brought to his
garage. Johnson and Cpl. Michalson Bahe, 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
