-- Performed complicated frequency converter and amplifier frequency response and gain alignments
-- Enabled 100% operational redundancy and directly responsible for the low satellite link failure rate

-- Established satellite link with JCSE during Exercise BRIGHT STAR '00; tested equipment, circuit, and carrier path for reliability, provided error-free link, ensured terminal prepared for mission readiness

-- Isolated Terrestrial Critical Communications Circuit (TCCC) outage to loss of crypto synchronization; reloaded keying material; restored communications circuit before circuit was logged out by technical controllers

-- Oversaw long overdue and complicated preventive measurement inspections (PMIs) on terminal equipment
-- Supervised and trained seven technicians on measurements, adjustments, lubrication, and alignments -- Actions completed well before the eight hours authorized downtime; quickly restored service to users

-- Quickly identifed jamming source and prevented damage to the West Pacific satellite -- Isolated upconverters from computer control and attenuated their output when the terminal processor seized control and raised transmit power high enough to disrupt all communicatons on the satellite

-- Valued trainer; trained six personnel on high power amplifier tuning methods, adjustments, and anomalies
-- Improved maintenance capability and eliminated unscheduled outages due to misalignments

-- Traced problem on faulty alarm interface panel to burned resistor, replaced, restored monitoring capability

-- Updated workcenter's master equipment inventory listing (EIL) and preventive maintenance schedule -- Conducted thorough review and assigned identification numbers to all new assets at USCENTCOM

-- Tested and identified a faulty U-link used to patch circuit trunks between the Digital Communications Sub-System (DCSS) and Operations Van--prevented future communications interruptions

-- Performed annual modem characterization procedures; verified equipment performed within optimum operational levels; ensured compliance with Defense Information Systems Agency standards

-- Provided valuable assistance to Tobyhanna Army Depot maintenance team; replaced azimuth motor electric brake assembly; enabled depot team to proceed with troubleshooting of autotrack failure

-- Isolated link outage to autotrack failure; slewed antenna to restore tracking to reestablish satellite link -- Restored communications in less than one minute; contributed to terminal's over 99% reliability rate

-- Managed Technical Order accounts and commercial manuals for two functional areas
-- Prevented maintenance delays due to lack of technical references by providing necessary resources
-- Created intuitive index by function and equipment; increased maintenance effectiveness

-- Identified downconverter automatic switch failure, traced to switch and repaired, restored redundancy

-- Excellent technical abilities; motivated and self-confident airman; consistently performs high quality work

-- Knowledgable on the Switch Multiplexer Unit (SMU); trained personnel on programming
-- Responsible for successful participation in site's first tactical provision of switched DSN resources

-- Isolated cross-talk noise problem on site's tactical interface panel; identified inadequate shield grounding on signal cables; corrected long-standing discrepancy; restored interface capabilities with tactical systems
