Font Information: Staff Sergeant Tania Gonzalez, 380th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron, Crew Communications Hometown: McGuire AFB, New Jersey TRT: 00:55 Soundbite: SSgt Gonzalez "I am Staff Sergeant Tania Gonzalez, from McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey, assigned to the 380th EOSS, Crew Comm shop." "My job here is to provide communications to the aircrew; and how I do that is, I provide them with secure voice communications via the iridium phone--also communications with their 'modes and codes', friend or foe identification through the simple key loader device, as well as their navigational aides." "Without those procedures, they would not know what steps that they should take in the event that they are stranded or they need assistance." "I am happy to know that I take part in providing safety to the aircrew members." "I am Staff Sergeant Gonzalez, and I'm a Crew Comm member of the 380th EOSS."
