HEART FOR SERVICE
Spend an afternoon turning wrenches
with Mark Sakaio, Kwajalein Automo-
tive shop foreman, and you’ll learn more
than your fair share about vehicle main-
tenance and service.
Sakaio got his start in the shop after
studying auto mechanics at Guam Com-
munity College. He can claim Tuvaluan,
Kiribati, Chinese and Marshallese an-
cestry, and he and his wife call Ebeye
home. After college, they returned to
Ebeye to raise Sakaio’s four sons and
adopted daughter.
In his 25 years working at Kwajalein
Automotive, Sakaio has mastered every-
thing from the fine points of automotive
electrical work, to autobody repair for
heavy equipment, to conducting vehicle
safety inspections.
“The first thing is safety—always,”
Sakaio said, of inspections. He conducts
those walk-through safety checks for
island sedans, work vehicles, manlifts
and cranes. No vehicle can be cleared
for use used without passing its inspec-
tion. “The inspections are quarterly,
semiannual and annual and an import-
ant part of work here.”
To say Sakaio knows a lot about cars
would be an understatement. He en-
joys learning, values education and en-
courages new members of the shop to
pursue as much on-the-job training as
possible. With some training solutions
impacted by COVID-19 travel restric-
tions, Sakaio hopes to find new learning
opportunities to augment skill-building
for Automotive work crews.
Mentorship is a favorite way to help
introduce teammates to the shop while
assuring they gets the hands-on train-
ing they need.
“I assign the new guys to a senior guy,
and he follows them throughout train-
ing,” he said.
Luckily for those new guys, as cars
become more complicated machines,
some aspects of the maintenance cycle
get easier.
“You plug the car into a computer, and it
will tell you what the problem is,” Sakaio
said. “The whole process is easier.”
In addition to serving Kwajalein by
maintaining the vehicle fleet, Sakaio U.S. ARMY PHOTO BY JESSICA DAMBRUCH
