WEBVTT

00:00.243 --> 00:03.333
- I think it's been going really good.

00:04.550 --> 00:07.360
We have about 30 of my counterparts

00:07.360 --> 00:10.920
from our partner nations and
I think they've learned a lot.

00:10.920 --> 00:13.590
I've actually learned a lot from them.

00:13.590 --> 00:16.120
Lots of great networking,
friendships being molded,

00:16.120 --> 00:18.080
so I'm excited.

00:18.080 --> 00:19.520
The purpose of this conference is

00:19.520 --> 00:24.335
to bring Air Force senior
enlisted leaders of our NATO and

00:24.335 --> 00:27.610
partner nations across the world together

00:27.610 --> 00:31.420
to share opportunities
for enlisted development.

00:31.420 --> 00:34.090
To learn from each
other, to help foster and

00:34.090 --> 00:36.779
build the relationships
that will ultimately help us

00:36.779 --> 00:41.779
from a military standpoint and
really the second goal for us

00:42.700 --> 00:46.960
is to develop a strategy
for enlisted development

00:46.960 --> 00:50.250
in the respective AORs
and a global strategy

00:50.250 --> 00:53.920
for how we'll develop our enlisted leaders

00:53.920 --> 00:56.083
across all of the various nations.

00:57.030 --> 01:00.236
It's amazing opportunity to
strengthen those relations

01:00.236 --> 01:04.440
because when I have a relationship

01:04.440 --> 01:06.750
with the Chief Master Sergeant

01:06.750 --> 01:10.740
of the Royal Jordanian Air Force
or the Australian Air Force

01:10.740 --> 01:12.010
it makes it much easier for us

01:12.010 --> 01:14.270
to get stuff done on both ends.

01:14.270 --> 01:16.150
And, again we learn from each other.

01:16.150 --> 01:19.670
We grow from each other so it just makes

01:19.670 --> 01:23.167
for a great opportunity for us globally.

01:23.167 --> 01:26.370
(upbeat music)

01:26.370 --> 01:29.630
Anytime we can connect with
our partner nations and

01:29.630 --> 01:32.060
work on enlisted development
and work through opportunities

01:32.060 --> 01:35.063
for us to work together I
think it's a great thing.

01:36.650 --> 01:39.810
I'm really looking forward
to having a global strategy

01:39.810 --> 01:41.900
for how we do enlisted development

01:41.900 --> 01:45.258
where we decide to invest
time and money and resources

01:45.258 --> 01:47.820
as United States Air Force

01:47.820 --> 01:49.840
to help our partner nations continue

01:49.840 --> 01:52.283
to evolve their enlisted forces.
