    Story by Airman 1st Class Heidi Bucins 

    97th Air Mobility Wing

    Get to know the Airman of the Month for April, Zachery Hatter, 97th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft crew chief.

    Where are you from?

    I was born in Alexandria, Louisiana on England Air Force Base, but I consider myself from Altus.

    Why did you join the military?

    I love working as a civilian for the Air Force and also serving in the U.S. Army National Guard because I get the best of both worlds and get to serve in both aspects.

    Can you tell me a little about your job?

    I am a civilian crew chief on the flightline for the KC-135, where I perform flightline and heavy maintenance on all aspects of the aircraft.

    How does your job contribute to the Altus AFB mission?

    My job contributes to the mission because the work I do provides safe aircraft for training pilots and boom operators to fly on. Without my job, Airmen wouldn’t be able to train and complete readiness and training goals set for them by the Air Education and Training commander.

    What’s your favorite part about the job/being in the service?

    My favorite part of my job at Altus AFB is getting to work on aircraft and giving 100% of my effort to ensure that every job I do exceeds standards.

    What do you enjoy doing in your off time?

    I enjoy working on my jeep and being with my wife and two kids.
