Life Without Age
Staff Sgt. Louis Suarez, power support systems mechanic, grinds a piece of 3/8 inch round stock to fabricate a replacement brake rod for a C-10C air conditioner. The unit was damaged during a deployment to Edwards AFB, Calif. By fabricating parts like this one instead of ordering replacement parts, the AGE shop is able to maintain a 95 percent in-commission rate for 427 pieces of equipment.
