1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,170 We went to Homestead Air Reserve Base 3 00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:33,099 near Miami .

During this 12 00:00:49,610 --> 00:00:48,669 week , we used to do that training , 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,958 computer based training . So this time , 14 00:00:50,958 --> 00:00:52,958 we was offered the opportunity with 15 00:00:52,958 --> 00:00:55,069 partnership with security forces here 16 00:00:55,069 --> 00:00:54,830 at nine oh eight .

Um , other 23 00:01:08,386 --> 00:01:10,497 than just civil engineers . So it was 24 00:01:10,497 --> 00:01:12,552 interesting to see how they function 25 00:01:12,552 --> 00:01:12,389 and to kind of put ourselves in their 26 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,000 shoes in order for me to sleep at night . 27 00:01:15,010 --> 00:01:17,232 I gotta make sure that they're ready to 28 00:01:17,232 --> 00:01:19,454 go out the door and comfortable in what 29 00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:21,566 they're doing and knowing that I know 30 00:01:21,566 --> 00:01:23,399 I've done everything I can do to 31 00:01:23,399 --> 00:01:25,732 prepare them to the , to the next fight , 32 00:01:25,732 --> 00:01:27,788 whatever that fight may be , it just 33 00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:29,954 helps us become multi capable airmen . 34 00:01:29,954 --> 00:01:31,954 We become a lot more diverse in not 35 00:01:31,954 --> 00:01:31,690 only our career field but just as 36 00:01:31,699 --> 00:01:33,921 airmen in general . So this is probably 37 00:01:33,921 --> 00:01:35,977 tough for a lot of us . We never did 38 00:01:35,977 --> 00:01:38,088 some of this stuff before , but we're 39 00:01:38,088 --> 00:01:37,889 gonna come out and we came out better 40 00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:40,011 than what we were in the beginning of 41 00:01:40,011 --> 00:01:42,459 this annual tour . What we do as a 42 00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:44,610 career field is build and maintain 43 00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:46,564 power projection platforms for the 44 00:01:46,564 --> 00:01:48,787 United States Air Force so we could fly 45 00:01:48,787 --> 00:01:51,080 fight and wind down range . We had an 46 00:01:51,089 --> 00:01:53,550 excellent team here who were super 47 00:01:53,559 --> 00:01:56,419 motivated , brought great energy down 48 00:01:56,430 --> 00:01:58,430 to homestead , brought great energy 49 00:01:58,430 --> 00:02:01,660 back here to Maxwell and really took to 50 00:02:01,669 --> 00:02:03,780 let's get some quality training again 51 00:02:03,780 --> 00:02:06,058 while we have other two weeks to do it . 52 00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:09,083 Uh The morale , I seen people eagerness , 53 00:02:09,089 --> 00:02:11,311 I see people ready to go , ready to get 54 00:02:11,311 --> 00:02:13,311 out of this .
