00:00.683 --> 00:03.516
(energetic music)

00:08.497 --> 00:10.196
- I had a ranger, years ago,

00:10.196 --> 00:12.078
ask me about being a park ranger.

00:12.078 --> 00:15.602
- This week we have the field
supervisors and park rangers

00:15.602 --> 00:18.029
all joining us here in
Beaver, West Virginia

00:18.029 --> 00:21.664
here at the National
Mining Academy Center.

00:21.664 --> 00:25.577
This event happens every two
years, so it is an awesome

00:25.577 --> 00:28.925
event and we're able to bring
in all the field supervisors.

00:28.925 --> 00:32.621
That includes lockmasters,
operation project managers,

00:32.621 --> 00:36.124
facility managers and park
rangers all together in one place

00:36.124 --> 00:38.606
really to talk about what's
happening in the district,

00:38.606 --> 00:41.355
what's happening in the region and also

00:41.355 --> 00:42.908
to bring in that national perspective.

00:42.908 --> 00:46.042
Where are we headed in
the operations community?

00:46.042 --> 00:49.597
So really, with the focus being
on supervisors and managers,

00:49.597 --> 00:51.469
building their leadership skills.

00:51.469 --> 00:53.971
We're also going to work on
the technical information.

00:53.971 --> 00:55.495
We're going to get into our FEM,

00:55.495 --> 00:57.639
our Facilities Engineering
Maintenance system,

00:57.639 --> 00:58.604
talk about that.

00:58.604 --> 01:01.024
We're going to talk about
technical service work orders.

01:01.024 --> 01:02.863
Rangers are going to
do some SPEAR training,

01:02.863 --> 01:06.266
which is going to be interesting
at the end of the week.

01:06.266 --> 01:07.201
(grunting)

01:07.201 --> 01:09.009
- Well, from my
perspective as a commander,

01:09.009 --> 01:12.503
I wanna hear back from
supervisors and park rangers

01:12.503 --> 01:14.529
on what their challenges are,

01:14.529 --> 01:15.885
whether we're headed
in the right direction.

01:15.885 --> 01:17.499
What are some of the
things I can do at my level

01:17.499 --> 01:21.351
to help influence and be able
to provide them what they need

01:21.351 --> 01:23.688
so they can go out and
do their daily duties?

01:23.688 --> 01:28.133
That's really my biggest gain
out of attending this event.

01:28.133 --> 01:31.054
- And yes, all that reporting
comes up through us.

01:31.054 --> 01:33.887
