Leadership visits 18th EMS, learns new skill

U.S. Air Force Col. Brian McDaniel, 18th Wing vice commander, performs a tungsten-electrode inert gas welding technique on Kadena Air Base, Japan, Dec. 6, 2012. TIG is a slower welding technique, but the quality of weld tends to be cosmetically better because there is no weld spatter and it has a clean finish, according to Senior Master Sgt. Roger Starcher, 18th EMS Fabrication Flight superintendant. During his visit to the 18th Equipment Maintenance Squadron, Airmen taught the commander how to do specific welding techniques. McDaniel said he wanted to learn how to weld because his father used to weld and would always boast about how good he was, so he wanted to try it out himself to show that he could do it too.
