00:00.504 --> 00:03.171
(intense drums)

00:06.680 --> 00:08.408
- Alright, I'm second lieutenant Steve Jordan.

00:08.408 --> 00:11.575
I am the assistant OIC here in Okinawa

00:11.992 --> 00:13.409
for the 120 EAMU,

00:13.763 --> 00:16.408
Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit.

00:16.408 --> 00:17.475
And I guess I'm gonna be giving you

00:17.475 --> 00:19.203
a little tour today of what we got going on

00:19.203 --> 00:22.036
for our TSP exercise preparations.

00:24.358 --> 00:25.399
Hello, hello.

00:25.399 --> 00:26.232
- Hello.

00:27.007 --> 00:28.598
- Walking, walking and talking.

00:28.598 --> 00:29.750
So behind me right now we have

00:29.750 --> 00:32.000
a couple of different chops

00:32.001 --> 00:33.195
preparing the jets

00:33.195 --> 00:35.350
and getting them into the exercise

00:35.350 --> 00:36.545
or wartime configuration

00:36.545 --> 00:37.985
that we're gonna be flying.

00:37.985 --> 00:40.508
To my right, you can see they're back there

00:40.508 --> 00:42.369
hanging fuel tanks and they're performing

00:42.369 --> 00:43.862
what we call leak and transfer,

00:43.862 --> 00:45.099
and basically they're pressurizing

00:45.099 --> 00:47.009
the fuel tanks to make sure that the fuel

00:47.009 --> 00:48.619
is transferring from the fuel tanks

00:48.619 --> 00:50.550
into the aircraft so they can be usable.

00:50.550 --> 00:51.745
On the other side of me,

00:51.745 --> 00:54.912
weapons is loading wing weapons pylons

00:54.945 --> 00:56.246
that have counter measured

00:56.246 --> 00:57.569
dispensers built into them.

00:57.569 --> 00:59.094
(engine whirring)

00:59.094 --> 01:00.363
Hey, are you evaluating that?

01:00.363 --> 01:01.345
- I'm watching.

01:01.345 --> 01:02.539
- Just watching.

01:02.539 --> 01:04.683
It's interesting to see how

01:04.683 --> 01:06.891
different the experience level is.

01:06.891 --> 01:08.762
Even with just our traditional workforces,

01:08.762 --> 01:10.995
this only works during drills

01:10.995 --> 01:12.399
one weekend a month.

01:12.399 --> 01:13.636
But they're so focused

01:13.636 --> 01:16.469
and so proficient at what they do,

01:16.538 --> 01:18.927
they just run circles around the 18th.

01:18.927 --> 01:20.260
- [Man] Oh yeah.

01:20.282 --> 01:21.935
(engine whirring)

01:21.935 --> 01:24.185
(clapping)

01:24.442 --> 01:25.942
- 260 foot pounds.

01:27.311 --> 01:29.572
- So it's nice to see the wide variety

01:29.572 --> 01:31.140
of the folks that we have,

01:31.140 --> 01:33.882
especially in our traditional workforce.

01:33.882 --> 01:35.364
We've got airline pilots,

01:35.364 --> 01:36.516
we've got teachers,

01:36.516 --> 01:37.882
all the folks that have taken time

01:37.882 --> 01:39.642
out of their normal jobs

01:39.642 --> 01:40.890
and away from their families

01:40.890 --> 01:42.938
to come out here to the other side of the world

01:42.938 --> 01:43.876
and execute the mission

01:43.876 --> 01:45.828
of protecting America's interests

01:45.828 --> 01:48.239
and representing the Colorado International Guard.

01:48.239 --> 01:50.906
