00:00.040 --> 00:02.420
the Misawa Air base had a turbulent

00:02.420 --> 00:04.587
year with the earthquake and tsunami .

00:04.587 --> 00:06.587
If it wasn't for the airman on base

00:06.587 --> 00:08.809
being prepared , things could have been

00:08.809 --> 00:11.031
a lot worse . Senior mubarak patent has

00:11.031 --> 00:12.809
more throughout the last year ,

00:12.809 --> 00:14.920
Chairman at Massawa have proven their

00:14.920 --> 00:14.650
mission ready through numerous

00:14.660 --> 00:16.900
exercises and the december operational

00:16.900 --> 00:18.950
readiness inspection confirmed just

00:18.950 --> 00:21.630
that I think the biggest thing we see

00:21.630 --> 00:23.630
ourselves that no matter what we've

00:23.630 --> 00:25.797
been asked to do this wing has stepped

00:25.797 --> 00:27.797
up and done it and Tomodachi , this

00:27.797 --> 00:29.852
wing stepped up and did a phenomenal

00:29.852 --> 00:31.630
job helping the Japanese people

00:31.630 --> 00:33.686
recovering the base and doing that .

00:33.686 --> 00:35.574
And then as we went across , even

00:35.574 --> 00:37.352
despite a very heavy deployment

00:37.352 --> 00:39.241
schedule and then as well as they

00:39.241 --> 00:41.352
rescheduled the operational readiness

00:41.352 --> 00:43.519
inspection from june out to december ,

00:43.519 --> 00:45.574
Everything that gets pitched at this

00:45.574 --> 00:48.210
wing , the airmen on this base pick up

00:48.220 --> 00:50.620
and just do a great job . The overall

00:50.620 --> 00:52.842
35th Fighter Wing operational readiness

00:52.842 --> 00:54.860
inspection score was satisfactory .
