99th CES ‘plumbers’ keep mission flowing
Staff Sgt. Alan Franklin, 99th Civil Engineer Squadron water and fuels systems maintenance craftsman, uses a hand auger, or plumbing snake, to unclog a drain pipe at the Nellis Inn on Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Aug. 19, 2014. The pipe Franklin was unclogging was the main drain for six other lodging rooms, which were not available for guests to stay in until the clog abated. The water and fuels systems maintenance shop is comprised of approximately 35 Airmen and civilians who work around-the-clock to take care of the base’s fire suppression systems, backflow prevention systems, plumbing systems, and the natural gas hydrants, pipes, tanks and valves.
