RAWS fights wars with radio waves

47th Operations Support Squadron Radar Airfield Weather Systems Airmen at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, frequently use tools such as these to work on the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System at the radar approach control center for tuning radios. “I knew what a screw driver and a pair of pliers were before the Air Force, but this job definitely gave me a whole new set of skills,” said Senior Airman Logan Sando, 47th OSS RAWS technician. “It’s nice to have this knowledge instead of tools seeming like foreign objects.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Anne McCready)
