Emmanuel Perez says depending on what

00:36.510 --> 00:38.566
needs to be done , maintenance crews

00:38.566 --> 00:41.350
can work up to 14 hours per day . We

00:41.350 --> 00:43.520
get a call . The problem is we go out

00:43.520 --> 00:46.060
and check it out this address , playing

00:46.060 --> 00:48.600

specialty is maintaining season 30

00:50.690 --> 00:52.800
engines to prepare for the task

00:52.810 --> 00:54.700
technicians spend numerous hours

00:54.710 --> 00:56.821
learning about the engines inside and

00:56.821 --> 00:58.821
out . Some of the instruction comes

00:58.821 --> 01:00.988
from technical manuals and the rest is

01:00.988 --> 01:02.988
handed down from a more experienced

01:02.988 --> 01:04.766
technicians . During on the job

01:04.766 --> 01:06.488
training . While in California

01:06.488 --> 01:08.710
maintenance crews are making sure the C

01:18.030 --> 01:19.990
When Aaron get to their first duty

01:19.990 --> 01:22.101
stations , they go to an introductory

01:22.101 --> 01:24.212
class at the first term Airman Center

01:24.212 --> 01:26.323
or attack within 30 days . This class

01:26.323 --> 01:28.434
prepares them for the Operational Air

01:28.434 --> 01:30.379
Force . Senior airman Alex griffin

01:30.379 --> 01:32.546
takes us to spangdahlem attack whether

01:32.546 --> 01:32.350
shaking up the way air removed from the

01:32.350 --> 01:34.461
classroom to the work center . Attack

01:34.461 --> 01:36.572
is a critical bridge between training

01:36.572 --> 01:38.794
and the mission . The faster airmen are

01:38.794 --> 01:40.683
trained for the work center . The

01:40.683 --> 01:42.794
better spangdahlem zap Tax Centre has

01:42.794 --> 01:44.794
slimmed down the curriculum from 13

01:44.794 --> 01:46.850
days to 10 , streamlining the course

01:46.850 --> 01:48.739
while maintaining the information

01:48.739 --> 01:51.072
airman need for the respective missions .

01:51.072 --> 01:53.239
And that allows spangdahlem to prepare

01:53.239 --> 01:55.294
more airmen more rapidly than before

01:55.294 --> 01:55.010
taking airmen to where the Air Force

01:55.010 --> 01:57.010
needs them supporting the mission .
