“As a kid, surfing taught me respect for the ocean and respect for everybody in general. I’m drawn to service, and I’m motivated by the happiness the kids express.” U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Skylar Hays, an avionics technician with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 11, Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, prepares a testing program during an in-process inspection, on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, Oct. 5, 2023. When Hays isn’t testing, inspecting, and maintaining assemblies for the F-18, he’s sharing his surf passion with children with developmental disabilities.
