U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Elijah Jordan, a Lompoc, California native and a collateral duty quality assurance representative with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 162 Reinforced, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), poses for a photo aboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5), Atlantic Ocean, July 13, 2023. Jordan’s favorite part of his job is training the next generation of mechanics and mentoring them to the best of his ability to be better Marines and better people. “I joined the Marines because America has given me every opportunity to live an amazing life,” said Jordan “it was my time to pay my dues”. “I’m motivated by spending countless hours rebuilding and fixing these aircraft,” said Jordan “there is a moment after they take off where you know they are coming back and you were apart of a successful mission.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
