934th Civil Engineering Squadron 2023 Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, an Electrical Upgrade
934th Airlift Wing

Script:

Who is ready to dig? A group of 934 Civil Engineering Squadron Airmen recently traveled to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson to get their groove on. They traveled to the icy state in rotations that consisted of two weeks. Overall, the entire project was 8 weeks in its total entirety. Five miles deep into JBER, as the locals like to call it, these Flying Vikings are hard at work. They all do a variety of construction events tied to the upgrade of JBER’s electrical system. Fittingly, like Alaska, the sites name Mad Bull, invokes a feeling of deep American wilderness.

Broken into three different construction areas, the Airmen all have their role to play. The training that these Vikings are receiving is invaluable. From a dirt boy to a carpenter, all are expected to work and cross train into each other's jobs. This allows the mission to be successfully executed in a timely manner. From Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, I'm Senior Airman Matthew Reisdorf.
