00:09.326 --> 00:11.826
(funky music)

00:26.967 --> 00:28.636
- We definitely have a mission on this base,

00:28.636 --> 00:30.944
and that's what I always tell people you know,

00:30.944 --> 00:33.653
^when they ask like, "What exactly do you do?"

00:33.653 --> 00:36.403
^You know, I've touched everything

00:36.636 --> 00:38.561
that you work with in your shop.

00:38.561 --> 00:41.143
It's like whatever you need, I have probably brought it

00:41.143 --> 00:43.893
to you on a forklift, in a truck.

00:46.293 --> 00:48.987
Pretty much everyone in ground trans loves

00:48.987 --> 00:53.154
driving the forklift because it's small, it's fun,

00:53.490 --> 00:55.573
so we try to be the best.

01:02.238 --> 01:04.623
The office side is such a huge part

01:04.623 --> 01:07.471
in here that nobody really sees that.

01:07.471 --> 01:09.647
Everything in these cabinets in here,

01:09.647 --> 01:12.079
they've all gotta be done and everything's gotta be done.

01:12.079 --> 01:14.668
Sometimes monthly, bi-annually, annually,

01:14.668 --> 01:16.429
you gotta keep up with it.

01:16.429 --> 01:17.844
Somebody's gotta keep up with it,

01:17.844 --> 01:21.427
and I actually like the organization of it.

01:22.304 --> 01:23.471
I have my dog.

01:24.704 --> 01:26.498
I treat her just like a child.

01:26.498 --> 01:30.415
She is everything that my live revolves around.

01:30.486 --> 01:33.621
I go hiking, kayaking, I love anything outdoors.

01:33.621 --> 01:36.288
Like (mumbles).

01:39.358 --> 01:40.849
On a daily run, we have distinguished

01:40.849 --> 01:42.449
visitors come in on base.

01:42.449 --> 01:46.366
We do a window tour of the entire installation,

01:46.840 --> 01:49.282
while whoever wants to explain,

01:49.282 --> 01:52.214
explains everything going on at the 117th

01:52.214 --> 01:55.547
with updates in what they're planning on

01:56.467 --> 01:58.134
doing with the base.

01:58.146 --> 01:59.492
So it's super interesting and you

01:59.492 --> 02:02.325
get a little history in there too.

02:08.526 --> 02:11.668
You can see our entire ramp, all the way, you know,

02:11.668 --> 02:14.184
how big it would be if we expanded, and you know,

02:14.184 --> 02:17.330
you can see all the helicopters and airplanes,

02:17.330 --> 02:19.795
and it's always pretty interesting to me,

02:19.795 --> 02:23.962
and hearing them talk about it is really really cool.
