Senior Airman Charles Brumley, 4th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, tightens a bolt during a Dedicated Eagle Keeper competition at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, Jan. 16, 2015. Each aircraft maintenance unit uses their best aircraft and selects their most accomplished maintainers to compete. Evaluated by quality assurance personnel, the contest features challenges tailored for crew chiefs and other maintenance specialists. The competition consists of a support section challenge, inspecting one tool kit to ensure its contents are serviceable; a dedicated crew chief challenge, servicing a nose strut to ensure the hydraulics and the strut can work properly; and an avionics pod challenge, properly installing a Sniper targeting pod. All participants also take a knowledge test. Factors evaluated include time, accuracy, abiding by technical data and safety. The results of the competition will be officially announced Feb. 20 during a ceremony with awards presented by Col. Darrell Steele, 4th Maintenance Group commander.
