A day at the office

Lisa is a motor mechanic. Yep, just like it sounds. She currently works on Humvees and what they refer to as 7-Tons. The latter is basically a 7-ton flatbed used for hauling supplies and equipment to the front lines.

Twentynine Palms, where Lisa is stationed, is the home to the Marine Infantry Training School. While all Marines get at least 5 weeks of combat training upon completion of basic training, Marines in infantry status get much more extensive class and field training at Twentynine Palms. Lisa's unit is one of those responsible for maintaining and repairing the vehicles used to train these Marines. As you can imagine the equipment is used pretty hard and in constant need of repairs.

These pictures are some that Lisa has sent along. Marines pride themselves on organization. That tool chest above is a good example. I know one thing, my tool chest is in no danger of being mistaken for hers.









PS - Tranny fluid hair conditioner in this last picture.
