AS - Aviation Support Equipmentman
There’s no air support without ground support. Aviation Support Equipment Technicians live by this phrase because what they do is critical to keeping Navy planes in the air. From refilling aircraft oxygen tanks between flights to towing jets below deck for repairs, everything this team does on the ground makes a world of difference in the sky.
