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, looks at the engine of a humvee brought to his
garage to determine what work needs to be done to repair it. 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 Sloan
