Emergency repairs
Staff Sgt. Josh Kreutzer and Staff Sgt. Justin Sharp tighten nuts on a mega lug Sept. 15 at a Southwest Asia air base. The mega lug is being prepared as a temporary valve to close off the end of a broken water pipe in order to restore water to the Blatchford-Preston Complex here. The overnight water main break resulted in a loss of water for the entire complex. The engineers, both assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron, are working to bring operations back to normal. Sergeant Kreutzer, a native of Fontana, Calif., is deployed from McChord Air Force Base, Wash., Sergeant Sharp, originally from Ulysses, Pa., is deployed from Scott AFB, Ill.
