Army mechanics

Having served as an Army combat engineer for some years, I have to say that without a doubt, many of the missions in which I was involved, during peacetime and during combat, could not have been successfully completed without the ingenuity of Army mechanics who kept our equipment running. These Soldiers often worked behind the scenes, spent many sleepless nights, toiled under and on exceptionally dirty and greasy heavy engineer construction equipment, and all the while maintained a can-do attitude. So, the next time you talk to an Army mechanic, tell them "thanks".
