Why does Airman Basuel deserve to be a warrior of the week? "Airman Basuel is an outstanding calibration technician and epitomizes integrity and dedication to the mission. He quickly became the lead technician on much of the complex physical dimensional laboratory standards in the PMEL. Therefore, he's usually the first person supervisors entrust to calibrate the numerous priority equipment needed to support Gunfighter missions."
