LCpl Alexi L. Budoff is seen here troubleshooting the Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT Medium), a two-way satellite ground station. This is necessary as part of her training within Ground Radio Repair Course to provide critical troubleshooting information for later use identifying the broken component to be sent in for repairs. LCpl Budoff will attain the MOS 2841 and become a Radio Repairer. The Marine will then move on to the Fleet Marine Force to provide technical support to the communication field.
