Getting down and dirty
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. — It’s after four in the afternoon and Airmen from the 2nd Civil Engineer Squadron Pavements and Heavy Equipment Flight are returning to their building after a long day working around the base. Their shirts are stained with sweat and their boots are covered in dirt after. As they begin to pack their equipment and head home to clean up, they know they will be back tomorrow and work another long day. The “Dirt Boyz” are responsible for maintaining the base by keeping the airfield, sidewalks and roads in usable condition at Barksdale Air Force Base.

Trouble tickets, service requests: What’s the deal?
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. — When a computer crashes or a phone won’t connect, the 2nd Communications Squadron gets contacted.
