00:04.240 --> 00:06.160
right well my name is senior in

00:06.160 --> 00:08.200
Scotland Phosa . Uh , right now

00:08.200 --> 00:10.470
deployed to compassion Afghanistan

00:10.470 --> 00:12.359
stationed at moody air Force base

00:12.359 --> 00:14.470
Georgia . My job title is the aircrew

00:14.470 --> 00:16.581
flight equipment and uh , primarily I

00:16.581 --> 00:19.560
deal with helmets , mask parachutes ,

00:19.570 --> 00:23.170
life raft survival vest for the most

00:23.170 --> 00:24.670
part will maintain it with

00:24.670 --> 00:26.781
troubleshooting with custom fitted to

00:26.781 --> 00:29.060
each individual aircrew . And for the

00:29.060 --> 00:31.450
most part of our job pretty much on

00:31.840 --> 00:33.618
revolves around making sure the

00:33.618 --> 00:35.618
aircraft as comfortable as possible

00:35.618 --> 00:37.784
using the gear when to get up , get on

00:37.784 --> 00:39.951
the plane to go out and do missions or

00:39.951 --> 00:39.640
not . Again , like I said , you know ,

00:39.640 --> 00:41.862
it's very important because most of the

00:41.862 --> 00:44.029
time these guys will come up asking us

00:44.029 --> 00:46.029
for the for the smallest things and

00:46.029 --> 00:48.196
little things that you would not think

00:48.196 --> 00:50.418
and make a huge impact . But these guys

00:50.418 --> 00:49.970
to go out there , you know , come back

00:49.970 --> 00:52.192
and go out there and come back and tell

00:52.192 --> 00:54.303
us all we have , you know , there's a

00:54.303 --> 00:54.290
pain in my head once I wear my helmet

00:54.440 --> 00:56.440
because it's too tight . You know ,

00:56.440 --> 00:58.496
it's just a small pain but share the

00:58.496 --> 01:00.662
fact that they have to wear the helmet

01:00.662 --> 01:02.829
for 89 hours long at once . You know ,

01:02.829 --> 01:04.996
all of a sudden , even that small pain

01:04.996 --> 01:07.273
might give them a headache and whatnot ,

01:07.273 --> 01:07.070
which will , you know , impede them

01:07.070 --> 01:09.181
from doing the concentrating fully on

01:09.181 --> 01:11.740
the mission or not . I like my mission

01:11.740 --> 01:13.796
for the most part because you know ,

01:13.796 --> 01:15.962
for them because once in a while , you

01:15.962 --> 01:15.750
know , I hear stories , these guys are

01:15.750 --> 01:17.861
coming in tel talking about how , you

01:17.861 --> 01:20.028
know , they saved a little kid or save

01:20.028 --> 01:22.139
the local or you know saved another ,

01:22.139 --> 01:23.972
you know , like a marine army or

01:23.972 --> 01:26.028
whoever else , you know , and for me

01:26.028 --> 01:28.028
I'm a little satisfied just knowing

01:28.028 --> 01:30.083
that you know , I made , I made this

01:30.083 --> 01:29.870
area crew comfortable enough to go , I

01:29.870 --> 01:32.092
didn't do the mission successfully , so

01:32.092 --> 01:34.092
I get some kind of satisfaction out

01:34.092 --> 01:36.203
there . Well the mission itself , you

01:36.203 --> 01:38.259
know , stateside we don't have , you

01:38.259 --> 01:40.481
know , we don't go out of missions to ,

01:40.481 --> 01:42.481
you know , save people on a regular

01:42.481 --> 01:44.648
basis or not . So , you know , because

01:44.648 --> 01:46.592
States are able to do all we do is

01:46.592 --> 01:48.703
support these guys , wanted to go out

01:48.703 --> 01:48.280
there to get the currencies and whatnot .

01:48.280 --> 01:50.224
So you know , that's what we do is

01:50.224 --> 01:52.447
stateside you and why , you know how to

01:52.447 --> 01:54.724
deploy , location , these guys current .

01:54.724 --> 01:56.836
And actually I did go into real stuff

01:56.836 --> 01:59.058
and you know to rely on us to make sure

01:59.058 --> 01:58.760
our gear is good to go to go out and do

01:58.760 --> 02:00.050
what needs to be done
