00:06.240 --> 00:08.240
Hello and welcome to around the Air

00:08.240 --> 00:10.240
force . The european cold spell has

00:10.240 --> 00:12.407
affected many countries across eastern

00:12.407 --> 00:14.351
europe Staff Sergeant Nathan Perry

00:14.351 --> 00:16.573
brings us to one of these nations where

00:16.573 --> 00:18.518
the U . S . Is helping the country

00:18.518 --> 00:20.780
overcome the cold With snow still fresh

00:20.780 --> 00:23.002
on the ground and temperatures still at

00:23.002 --> 00:25.113
record lows . Many European countries

00:25.113 --> 00:27.224
have had a hard time dealing with the

00:27.224 --> 00:29.320
recent cold snap here in Bosnia

00:29.320 --> 00:31.470
Herzogovina . They've received record

00:31.470 --> 00:33.770
snowfall . Some places that have never

00:33.770 --> 00:36.320
seen snow before have three ft of snow

00:36.330 --> 00:38.990
right now . That led to a nationwide

00:38.990 --> 00:41.560
response effort with helicopters to get

00:41.560 --> 00:44.250
hard to reach places to provide a the

00:44.250 --> 00:46.472
United States has been able to help out

00:46.472 --> 00:48.583
by been riding parts to further those

00:48.583 --> 00:50.800
efforts along . A team from Ramstein

00:50.800 --> 00:52.690
Air base Germany was tasked with

00:52.690 --> 00:54.857
getting the important helicopter parts

00:54.857 --> 00:57.079
to Sarajevo . The response comes just a

00:57.079 --> 00:59.250
week after the big snowstorm And only

00:59.250 --> 01:01.670
72 hours since the request for the

01:01.670 --> 01:03.950
equipment . The Bosnian helicopters

01:03.950 --> 01:06.760
have been responding to this historic

01:06.770 --> 01:09.410
snowfall and record low temperatures in

01:09.410 --> 01:11.632
providing assistance to the citizens of

01:11.632 --> 01:13.632
the country and the helicopters are

01:13.632 --> 01:15.799
running very low on the lubricants and

01:15.799 --> 01:18.070
some spare parts and so we really

01:18.070 --> 01:20.237
appreciate the work that's been done .

01:20.940 --> 01:23.051
Ambassador Moon was able to greet the

01:23.051 --> 01:25.370
crew while they were on the ground . He

01:25.370 --> 01:27.426
shared his thanks to the entire team

01:27.426 --> 01:29.426
that was able to make this exchange

01:29.426 --> 01:32.220
happen . Great thanks to the men and

01:32.220 --> 01:34.276
women of the U . S . Armed forces in

01:34.276 --> 01:36.387
europe who have worked so hard in the

01:36.387 --> 01:36.340
last few days to provide this

01:36.340 --> 01:38.507
assistance . It's really going to make

01:38.507 --> 01:40.673
a difference . Thanks great to be part

01:40.673 --> 01:42.830
of your team from Sarajevo Bosnia

01:42.840 --> 01:45.420
Herzegovina . I am therefore Sergeant

01:45.430 --> 01:48.830
Nathan paris . Every career field in

01:48.830 --> 01:51.052
the Air force is important and can give

01:51.052 --> 01:53.386
an airman some form of job satisfaction .

01:53.386 --> 01:55.219
That satisfaction can be greatly

01:55.219 --> 01:57.386
increased when your job deals directly

01:57.386 --> 01:59.441
with people and taking care of their

01:59.441 --> 02:01.608
needs . Staff Sergeant Jenna Armstrong

02:01.608 --> 02:03.774
introduces us to a services airmen who

02:03.774 --> 02:05.886
takes great pride and satisfaction in

02:05.886 --> 02:08.830
her work . Mix the breading , cover the

02:08.840 --> 02:12.510
fish and fry until done for a permanent

02:12.510 --> 02:14.890
services . Cooking can really be this

02:14.900 --> 02:17.210
easy . No , you definitely don't have

02:17.210 --> 02:20.160
to know how to cook already . It's um ,

02:20.840 --> 02:23.062
it's pretty self explanatory as long as

02:23.062 --> 02:25.173
you're following the recipe cards and

02:25.173 --> 02:27.229
when we go through our text school ,

02:27.229 --> 02:29.396
it's , it's mostly the cooking portion

02:29.396 --> 02:31.860
over fitness and lodging . So you

02:31.860 --> 02:33.971
definitely learn as you go . It's not

02:33.971 --> 02:36.138
something you don't have to be crafted

02:36.138 --> 02:38.060
and cooking before , but to Staff

02:38.060 --> 02:40.340
Sergeant Shelby Allen cooking is more

02:40.340 --> 02:42.507
of an art that can be personalized for

02:42.507 --> 02:44.930
the enjoyment of the cook and the

02:44.930 --> 02:47.100
customer . Even with the rest of the

02:47.100 --> 02:49.322
cars , you can spice it up and put your

02:49.322 --> 02:51.750
own twist or turn on it so that it's a

02:51.750 --> 02:53.972
cool thing to experiment with different

02:53.972 --> 02:55.972
things and when you see the look on

02:55.972 --> 02:58.028
customers faces when they like it is

02:58.028 --> 03:00.250
like , hey , you know , I did that . So

03:00.250 --> 03:02.417
you're proud of what you do . Sergeant

03:02.417 --> 03:04.417
Allen loved cooking before she even

03:04.417 --> 03:06.639
joined the Air Force but that's not the

03:06.639 --> 03:08.972
only reason this job is perfect for her .

03:08.972 --> 03:11.960
I had some influence , my uncle was 20

03:11.960 --> 03:14.071
years in and I asked him , you know a

03:14.071 --> 03:16.190
few pointers on what curriculum he

03:16.190 --> 03:18.301
think would fit me most instance , he

03:18.301 --> 03:20.301
knows that I'm a people person , he

03:20.301 --> 03:22.357
said you know you made like services

03:22.357 --> 03:24.468
because you know they do um lodging ,

03:24.468 --> 03:27.040
fitness food so he was like , it would

03:27.040 --> 03:30.210
give me a more well rounded opportunity

03:30.220 --> 03:32.760
in the military to interact with people

03:33.240 --> 03:35.240
as she moves through her career and

03:35.240 --> 03:37.462
starts working more behind the scenes .

03:37.462 --> 03:39.430
Sergeant Allen continues to affect

03:39.440 --> 03:41.920
people's day , my interaction with the

03:41.920 --> 03:43.753
customers because I am the store

03:43.753 --> 03:45.309
manager , it's just being a

03:45.309 --> 03:47.531
satisfaction on their face when like if

03:47.531 --> 03:49.753
we get new products in and they like it

03:49.753 --> 03:51.976
or if they act you know , hey why can't

03:51.976 --> 03:54.142
we get this here ? And then you know I

03:54.142 --> 03:56.198
look into it and it's available , we

03:56.198 --> 03:55.610
can't get it here and I bring it in

03:55.610 --> 03:57.832
just that satisfaction knowing that the

03:57.832 --> 04:00.470
customer gets what they want and I made

04:00.470 --> 04:02.581
it happen . So that's that's the part

04:02.581 --> 04:04.920
that I enjoy whether she's making the

04:04.930 --> 04:07.270
food or stocking the product . Sergeant

04:07.270 --> 04:09.790
Allen works to put her love of cooking

04:10.070 --> 04:12.520
and caring for people into every meal .
