Both Marines are members of the phase maintenance section with Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 533, Marine Aircraft Group 16 (Reinforced), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The section's Marines are each trained in different Military Occupational Specialties, bringing their unique skills to the jet maintenance team. The group of Marines was set up to alleviate the workload of the squadron's other aircraft maintenance sections. The phase maintenance Marines conduct a complete maintenance check of the squadron's Hornets each time one reaches 200 flight hours since its last check.
