Navy course teaches Airmen to save AF millions

SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany – Staff Sgt. Brian Gibson, 52nd Component Maintenance Squadron repair enhancement program technician and avionics technician, installs an eyelet set onto a laminate board so he can install components during the Miniature and Micro-miniature Repair Program Aug. 1 at the 372nd Training Squadron’s Detachment 17 here. The 2M course is a U.S. Navy certification program, which teaches Airmen how to do in-house repairs on circuit board components that would otherwise be sent back to the manufacturer or to heavy maintenance for repair or thrown away. Last year, the program saved U.S. Air Forces in Europe $4.8 million. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Natasha Stannard/Released)
