Staff Sgt. Corina Waxenfelter, 22nd Civil Engineer Squadron structures craftsman, creates a vertical t weld during the 2016 Welding Competition, April 20, 2016, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. Competitors were each given an opportunity to familiarize themselves with each squadron’s welder before the competition began, so participants aren’t given an unfair advantage.
