00:01.379 --> 00:03.376
- Hey there everyone, I'm Staff Sergeant Tracy Keller

00:03.376 --> 00:06.301
here with your look around the Air Force.

00:06.301 --> 00:08.902
^More active duty airmen are now able to apply

00:08.902 --> 00:11.711
^for the Air Force's RQ-4 Global Hawk

00:11.711 --> 00:14.149
^Remotely Piloted Aircraft Program.

00:14.149 --> 00:17.145
^This comes after the program has expanded eligibility

00:17.145 --> 00:20.812
^from career-enlisted aviators to all AFSC's.

00:21.022 --> 00:23.762
^Airmen have from September 1st to October 14th

00:23.762 --> 00:26.154
^to take the computer-based Air Force Enlisted

00:26.154 --> 00:30.321
^Qualifying Test and the Test of Basic Aviation Skills.

00:30.565 --> 00:33.073
^To find a testing site near you or for more information

00:33.073 --> 00:35.255
^on the pilot candidate selection method,

00:35.255 --> 00:38.672
^visit AFPC's website and click on "PCSM".

00:39.481 --> 00:41.919
^In order to improve its cyber-security posture,

00:41.919 --> 00:44.009
^the Air Force will begin upgrading to Windows 10

00:44.009 --> 00:45.983
^operating system later this year.

00:45.983 --> 00:48.026
^The DOD has directed the transaction,

00:48.026 --> 00:51.393
^which will also lower the cost of information technology

00:51.393 --> 00:54.272
^and streamline the IT operating environment.

00:54.272 --> 00:57.476
^Units are authorized to upgrade existing devices

00:57.476 --> 01:00.750
^or purchase new tablets and laptops through AFWay,

01:00.750 --> 01:03.374
^but should hold off on purchasing desktops

01:03.374 --> 01:05.788
^unless their mission dictates otherwise.

01:05.788 --> 01:08.366
^Some users may receive replacement mobile computers

01:08.366 --> 01:11.152
^with Windows 10 pre-loaded, while others will have

01:11.152 --> 01:12.824
^their existing computers upgraded

01:12.824 --> 01:14.588
^to the new operating system.

01:14.588 --> 01:16.841
^The scheduled completion date for all Air Force

01:16.841 --> 01:21.008
^network users, both NIPR and SIPR, is January 31, 2018.

01:22.413 --> 01:24.480
^Finally, the Air Force officially welcomed

01:24.480 --> 01:27.754
^its newest Vice Chief of Staff, General Stephen Wilson.

01:27.754 --> 01:29.681
^General Wilson says he's excited to help

01:29.681 --> 01:32.490
^the Chief of Staff execute his top three priorities,

01:32.490 --> 01:35.230
^revitalizing squadrons, preparing airmen to lead

01:35.230 --> 01:37.923
^in the joint fight, and rethinking how the service

01:37.923 --> 01:41.244
^can execute multi-domain global command and control.

01:41.244 --> 01:43.357
^General Wilson most recently served as

01:43.357 --> 01:45.586
^the Deputy Commander of US Strategic Command

01:45.586 --> 01:47.908
^at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska.

01:47.908 --> 01:51.182
And that's your look around the Air Force.

01:51.182 --> 01:53.932
