Summary
Sgt. Jeff Gajeras, left, and Sgt. Elson Velazquez prepare a tie rod for installation at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 26, 2019. Gajeras, a light armored vehicle mechanic with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, is a native of Nashville, Tennessee – he graduated from Ravenwood High School in May 2013 before enlisting in October 2015. Velazquez, a motor transportation mechanic with CLB-31 from Detroit, graduated from Anchor Bay High School in May 2013 before enlisting in October 2015. Motor transportation mechanics with CLB-31 work tirelessly to keep their battalion on the road – grease, oil, dirt, tires, wrenches, these are the tools of “Motor-T,” the unsung heroes of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
