“My job gives me the opportunity to wear many hats: I am an engineer, a program manager and sometimes a travel agent. There is always something new to do and learn. Also, it gives me the opportunity to work in a diverse environment with other engineers, technicians and Soldiers. It is very rewarding to know that thru our efforts, we make sure the weapon systems our Soldiers get in the field are safe and will perform as intended -- ensuring they get back home safe.” Team member Carelyn Martinez #MotivationMonday | #WeAreAvMC

“Variety is the spice of life, and creating a simulated Apache offers plenty of variety. In any given day, I can find myself programming the behavior of a component, fine tuning the flight model, and whiteboarding future Apache software insertions.” Kevin Bieri, technical lead for the Center’s AH-64 Apache team #WorkforceWednesday | #WeAreAvMC #IAmAvMC | #WorkforceWednesday

“Sometimes we have to fly regardless of the weather. In December or January, it can be really, really cold, freezing even, but I choose to love my job in the freezing cold, rainy, winter weather as much as I choose to love my job when we are out in the desert in the summer heat. Why? Because if I don’t choose to love my job everyday my final product won’t be as good, and I don’t want that to ever happen.” Read more about Center Visual Information Specialist Jose Mejia-Betancourth and his work documenting and producing the essential visuals required for research and development, both on the ground and in the air: #WorkforceWednesday | #WeAreAvMC
