Using a hack-saw to make grooves in a welding hose connector, Cpl. Matt G. Pelkey, a machinist Battalion Maintenance, 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion Regimental Combat Team 5, makes a groove on the hose at Camp Korean Village, Iraq, April 25. The machinists work in a trailer containing a large portable machine called the "Tornado," which Gunnery Sgt. John E. Fishcer, platoon sergeant of Battalion Maintenance and machine shop staff noncommissioned officer in charge, describes as resembling a large hot dog stand. They work long hours taking orders at any given time, ensuring Marines and sailors have the parts they need to make repairs or create parts for anything from a vehicle to a weapons system.
