1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:17,490 We're doing uh hands on operations 3 00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:19,323 training . Uh This is real world 4 00:00:19,323 --> 00:00:21,434 training that they will see downrange 5 00:00:21,434 --> 00:00:24,090 when they deploy . It's a huge learning 6 00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:26,312 curve for a lot of the younger airman , 7 00:00:26,312 --> 00:00:28,479 especially first time dip lawyers . So 8 00:00:28,479 --> 00:00:30,257 when we're able to provide this 9 00:00:30,257 --> 00:00:32,423 training for them where they get their 10 00:00:32,423 --> 00:00:34,590 hands on it and actually physically do 11 00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:36,701 it and go through the motions of it . 12 00:00:36,701 --> 00:00:38,701 It helps when they get there to not 13 00:00:38,701 --> 00:00:40,812 have such a steep learning curve time 14 00:00:40,812 --> 00:00:42,979 matters . So , so if they can learn it 15 00:00:42,979 --> 00:00:45,146 here , then they're better prepared to 16 00:00:45,146 --> 00:00:47,312 go there and do what they need to do . 17 00:00:47,312 --> 00:00:49,423 The first time I've ever been on a KC 18 00:00:49,423 --> 00:00:51,479 10 before , ever seen one . And that 19 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,701 was the first time I've ever loaded one 20 00:00:53,701 --> 00:00:53,463 from the side body of the aircraft . 21 00:00:53,523 --> 00:00:55,356 Every time you get that hands on 22 00:00:55,356 --> 00:00:57,467 experience , it makes it easier . And 23 00:00:57,467 --> 00:00:59,634 then the next time you learn from your 24 00:00:59,634 --> 00:01:01,690 mistakes , you do better . You could 25 00:01:01,690 --> 00:01:03,856 have done faster , you could have done 26 00:01:03,856 --> 00:01:06,036 safer . We are utilizing other bases 27 00:01:06,036 --> 00:01:08,446 and other wings to bring aircraft here 28 00:01:08,446 --> 00:01:10,224 to help us get training that we 29 00:01:10,224 --> 00:01:12,224 normally wouldn't get . And I think 30 00:01:12,224 --> 00:01:14,335 that puts us above a lot of the other 31 00:01:14,335 --> 00:01:16,502 reserve units as far as being prepared 32 00:01:16,502 --> 00:01:18,668 and being able to go over there and do 33 00:01:18,668 --> 00:01:20,890 a good job . We've proven time and time 34 00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:22,724 again when we deploy that we are 35 00:01:22,724 --> 00:01:24,779 mission ready and we're capable , it 36 00:01:24,779 --> 00:01:26,890 needs to be moved . We , we , we take 37 00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:26,626 care of it and we got a lot of good 38 00:01:26,626 --> 00:01:28,916 airmen that are eager to do the job and 39 00:01:28,916 --> 00:01:30,140 they take pride in it .
