349th MXG muscles down on Wrench Week

Senior Airman Aaron Sanders, 349th Maintenance Squadron aircraft metals technology specialist, practices tungsten inert gas welding at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., while Senior Airman Bryan Moffat, left, and Staff Sgt. Kyle Harshbarger, observe the detail of his work. Metals technology specialists must learn to precisely weld five different types of metals during their upgrade training. The reservists are working alongside hundreds of their fellow Citizen Airmen from the 349th Maintenance Group to support Wrench Week 2017. The event offers them opportunities to accomplish ancillary training, upgrade training, and gain practical experience necessary to sharpen their primary job skills.

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Tech. Sgt. Benjamin Perdido, Staff Sgt. Derrik Miller and Tech. Sgt. A.J. Hunt (kneeling), 749th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chiefs, conduct an operations check on the engine of a KC-10 Extender Feb. 9, 2017 at Travis Air Force Base, Calif.

The Citizen Airmen worked through wind and rain throughout the day, but for these committed maintainers, it's business as usual supporting America's Air Force. Wrench Week brings together hundreds of 349th Air Mobility Wing reservist maintainers to learn, work and grow together. While their efforts enhance their readiness and skill sets, it also contributes a great deal of support to their active duty counterparts at Travis.
