Well I just got some pics back from the deployment i was on about a month ago. Just thought I'd share some pics. You guys can kinda see how crappy it was cuz we were in the middle of nowhere and you can see the stuff I work on, and some of the friendly critters who join us out there. Enjoy!

Wow! Thanks for sharing!! I could do without seeing those "friends" though.

So what exactly do you do? I know you said "radar tech", but what is that?

Ya I'm a Radar Technician. Went through 1 1/2 years of military schooling on electronics, specializing in radars. My job is to pretty much maintain the radars. While its sitting here in Yuma, it's not really being used. The gear sits on base and everyday we do maintenance to it, like preventative maintenance stuff. We do allignments. When all a sudden something breaks or one of the radars isn't working, then we gotta troubleshoot the radar and fix the problem. And trust me, we have problems all the time because of all the sand that gets into places. We also pack up the radars and set them up whenever we deploy. We also maintain and troubleshoot the MMD's which are the lil TV like screens that each Controller has and stares at when controlling the aircrafts. We have 2 radars, one is a surveillance one which just spins and puts a nice lil radar sweep on the MMD's. The other one is a precision approach radar. Basically if the weather is so bad that the pilots can't see, then the controller will guide them in with that radar. I can't think of anything else to say at the moment, so imma just keep uploading some more pics!

Here is a pic of the LAAD detachment that was attached to us. They are our protection. If someone is flying in to blow us up, the LAAD lights em up with missles!
