00:12.247 --> 00:15.074
- [Narrator] From the induction ceremony to the flight line

00:15.074 --> 00:17.084
in its right to work for these airmen who earned

00:17.084 --> 00:20.681
a job title that doesn't exactly fall in your lap.

00:20.681 --> 00:21.848
- This is her.

00:22.010 --> 00:23.343
This is my baby.

00:24.580 --> 00:25.773
- To be a dedicated crew chief you need

00:25.773 --> 00:27.690
to be highly dedicated.

00:28.549 --> 00:30.491
It's a huge responsibility.

00:30.491 --> 00:32.888
Your name is on that aircraft.

00:32.888 --> 00:35.247
You're hand-picked as a dedicated crew chief

00:35.247 --> 00:38.247
by your supervisor, your leadership.

00:43.041 --> 00:45.098
- [Narrator] Maintaining the most lethal fighter jet

00:45.098 --> 00:46.015

00:46.314 --> 00:48.703
and for newly inducted dedicated crew chief

00:48.703 --> 00:50.668
Staff Sergeant Michael England,

00:50.668 --> 00:53.033
it's not one he takes lightly.

00:53.033 --> 00:57.200
- As a dedicated crew chief it's my responsibility

00:57.200 --> 01:01.363
to make sure that this is a safe and reliable aircraft.

01:01.363 --> 01:02.196
Plus--

01:02.196 --> 01:05.696
(aircraft flies overhead)

01:08.216 --> 01:10.716
to make sure that that happens

01:11.088 --> 01:14.921
and that the guy doing that comes back safely.

01:17.282 --> 01:19.479
- The title says dedicated crew chief.

01:19.479 --> 01:21.973

01:21.973 --> 01:26.119
and put time and effort into what your name is on,

01:26.119 --> 01:28.661
to make yourself feel good about it.

01:28.661 --> 01:31.649
This is my aircraft so I'm gonna keep it clean,

01:31.649 --> 01:33.657
make sure it looks pristine

01:33.657 --> 01:35.591
so that when people walk up on the jet

01:35.591 --> 01:37.341
and see my name on it

01:37.400 --> 01:39.207
they don't think, "Hey, you know,

01:39.207 --> 01:40.634
"this guy doesn't care."

01:40.634 --> 01:43.459
'Cause, ultimately, your aircraft's a direct reflection

01:43.459 --> 01:46.709
of the kind of crew chief that you are.

01:48.947 --> 01:50.872
- [Narrator] A popular notion among those selected

01:50.872 --> 01:54.205
is the pressure is immense but the honor

01:54.515 --> 01:55.432
is greater.
