Senior Airman Ashley Walsh of the 349th Maintenance Group performs routine final checks on the KC-10 aircraft. Walsh, who joined the reserves in 2019, ensures the aircraft is ready, and available, to provide mission essential duties around the globe. "Being a part of a team that actually makes a difference is what I enjoyed most about working in maintenance" Walsh said she loves working hands on and finds it rewarding seeing the aircraft in the air. A native of Alaska, Walsh joined the reserves to help her through school and is currently working on her bachelor's degree in Construction Management. (U.S. Air Force photo by SrA Michael Wang)
