It’s the middle of the day in Djibouti. The temperature is around 95 degrees with high humidity and no wind. Garrett Alvey is working inside a plane, and he can feel the vibrations of the generator roaring outside. The sweat rolls from his forehead into his eyes. Another day on the flight line at Camp Lemonnier (CLDJ).
The C-130J Hercules is broken. The generator on the plane normally acts as an alternator. If the generator isn’t fixed, the aircraft can’t fly – and, the loss of power limits ground maintenance. This is not an option that U.S. Air Force Sr. Airman Garret Alvey of Hurley, Miss. accepts. He diagnoses the problem and fixes the generator in half the standard amount of time.

For almost six months now, I have seen my teammate, Colin, through a one-inch crack between two large computer monitors. When he is not on assignment, he sits quietly at his desk punching away. Every day, he sees Camp Lemonnier’s impact from many angles. Sometimes he makes a two-dimensional graphic, other times he looks through a tiny photo camera viewfinder. U.S. Navy Mass Communication Specialist Colin Sens shares the view from the austere environment at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti (CLDJ), more than 8,000 miles from home.
With Sens’ help, the CLDJ message has reached ten countries and top outlets such as The Daily Times and CBS News. His most impressive audience during this deployment? The White House.
