Staff Sgt. Karl Moheiser

Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 14, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C. Moheiser returned from a six-month deployment to Al Asad Air Base, Iraq, in July 2006 and got back to work training more than 40 leathernecks to support Marine Aircraft Group 14 and Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 14. He also managed eight division naval aviation maintenance programs for quality and assurance. His master sergeant described him as a Marine he has complete confidence in. "Given 24 hours to deploy, he would be one of the first staff sergeants I would select," Master Sgt. Wyatt Lamson said.
