A Welder is a skilled tradesperson who fuses materials together and also refers to the hardware equipment used to generate the welding arc. Welders permanently join metals or thermoplastics using high heat to melt the parts together and allow them to cool into a single piece. U.S. Air Force welders are classified as Aircraft Metals Technology specialists (AFSC 2A7X1). These specialized airmen are responsible for repairing, modifying, and custom-fabricating critical metal parts for aircraft and ground equipment. They work extensively with advanced materials like aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel using TIG, MIG, and stick welding. U.S. Air Force welders in construction are primarily working as Structural Maintenance Specialists (AFSC 3E3X1) and are responsible for building, repairing, and maintaining military infrastructure. They are typically members of RED HORSE and Prime BEEF which are two specialized, highly trained U.S. Air Force civil engineering units. Thank you to all the Welders who Build to Defend America! - "Welders Exist Because Engineers Need Heroes Too!"

U.S. Navy welders are vital to both active-duty military operations and the construction and repair of naval vessels. Active-duty service members usually hold specific ratings like Hull Maintenance Technician (HT) or Steelworker (SW). The Department of Defense also employs thousands of civilian welders at major naval shipyards across the country.

United States Naval Construction Battalions, better known as the Navy Seabees, form the U.S. Naval Construction Force (NCF). Their nickname is a heterograph of the initials "C.B." from the words Construction Battalion. Depending upon how the word is used "Seabee" can refer to one of three things: all the enlisted personnel in the USN's occupational field 7 (OF-7), all officers and enlisted assigned to the Naval Construction Force (NCF), or the U.S. Navy's Construction Battalions (CBs).

The P-38 Lightning is a World War II-era American piston-engine fighter aircraft. Developed for the United States Army Air Corps, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Allied propaganda claimed it had been nicknamed the fork-tailed devil by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese. The P-38 was used for interception, dive bombing, level bombing, ground attack, night fighting, photo reconnaissance, radar and visual path finding for bombers and evacuation missions, and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings.

The F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. The Corsair was designed as a carrier-based aircraft, but it came to and retained prominence in its area of greatest deployment: land based use by the U.S. Marines.  The Corsair also served in the U.S. Navy. When the Corsair entered service in large numbers with the U.S. Navy in late 1944 and early 1945, it quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers of World War II. The Corsair served almost exclusively as a fighter-bomber throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria.

This vintage art style military aviation travel poster “NAS Whiting Field HT-18” is dedicated to all the hard working men and women who serve or have served with Helicopter Training Squadron 18 at NAS Whiting Field. Helicopter Training Squadron EIGHTEEN (HT-18), established in 1972, continues its in-depth training of student aviators graduating professional naval officers and aviators who are "Fleet Ready," able to meet today's real world missions for the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. The squadron also provides rotary-wing training and designation to selected members of various allied nations, refresher and transition training to fleet aviators, and indoctrination flights for mid-shipmen, and flight surgeons. HT-18's primary mission is to transition student aviators through basic and advanced rotary wing pilot training. Basic training introduces and develops student skills in helicopter flight maneuvers as well as training in visual navigation and tactics. Advanced training completes an intensive curriculum of basic and radio instruments, advanced tactics, and shipboard landings. The completion of this exacting training syllabus culminates in a highly trained and proficient all weather aviator.
