MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan - U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Alex Jordan, a 35th Civil Engineer Squadron electrical systems apprentice, hands Tomoaki Miura, a 35th CES electrical technician, a high voltage porcelain insulator at Draughon Range near Misawa Air Base, Japan, July 15, 2020. Typically, high voltage line replacement is a contracted project; however, the 35th CES electrical shop seized the opportunity for their Airmen to receive on the job training while working side by side with their JASDF counterparts. Not only did U.S. and JASDF Airmen benefit from completing the project as a team but it also saved the Air Force 90,000 dollars.
