WEBVTT

00:00.280 --> 00:02.470
- And back again, and
all that means again is

00:02.470 --> 00:06.130
that I moved a lot and
I've got some experience

00:06.130 --> 00:08.260
at most of those levels.

00:08.260 --> 00:09.840
What does all that help me do?

00:09.840 --> 00:11.170
All of that doesn't mean anything

00:11.170 --> 00:15.020
other than it helps me
do the job that I'm in.

00:15.020 --> 00:19.490
Prior to taking this job I'm
in, I was the director for

00:19.490 --> 00:22.140
Force development and integration.

00:22.140 --> 00:23.880
So, they have Force
development for officer,

00:23.880 --> 00:27.220
enlisted, and civilian at the
Air Force enterprise level,

00:27.220 --> 00:29.300
and a few other little things.

00:29.300 --> 00:32.670
But today, all of that
was enterprise facing out

00:32.670 --> 00:34.470
Force support

00:34.470 --> 00:36.980
is facing in,

00:36.980 --> 00:41.980
to our family, to the Force
support career field itself.

00:42.110 --> 00:47.110
So that's my primary function
and role in life as it is.

00:47.110 --> 00:49.180
And I did have a career before this.

00:49.180 --> 00:51.580
I almost forgot what it was but it was

00:51.580 --> 00:54.090
a time far, far long ago.

00:54.090 --> 00:56.660
But anyway, the next slide please.

00:56.660 --> 00:59.560
I've got a personal slide
flipper over here in the corner.

01:00.660 --> 01:03.250
These are some of the
things I want to talk about.

01:03.250 --> 01:04.880
Some of them I'll talk about a little bit,

01:04.880 --> 01:06.330
some of them I'll talk about a lot.

01:06.330 --> 01:09.750
And then I will leave some
of them, a lot of this,

01:09.750 --> 01:13.763
to go a little bit deeper
for my team members.

01:16.120 --> 01:19.259
Mr. Tinnison and Ms. Sarah back there,

01:19.259 --> 01:21.900
they're off of the civilian, they're off

01:21.900 --> 01:25.320
of the career field team
which is down at AFPC.

01:25.320 --> 01:29.580
I'm at Air Staff, which is,
they work with and for me,

01:29.580 --> 01:31.990
dotted lines on a lot of different things.

01:31.990 --> 01:32.823
But,

01:35.240 --> 01:37.430
they're going to talk
about some of the nuances.

01:37.430 --> 01:41.340
As you well know or
hopefully you know the call,

01:41.340 --> 01:43.690
the developmental
education call regardless

01:43.690 --> 01:47.110
of what career field you're
in, started on one March.

01:47.110 --> 01:50.330
And that will run up until
about the 17th of April.

01:50.330 --> 01:53.620
Packages will be due for
staffing by the 17th of April,

01:53.620 --> 01:54.970
and we'll talk a little bit about that.

01:54.970 --> 01:57.570
What does all that mean, and
what do I need to do next

01:57.570 --> 02:00.730
if I'm interested, and what
if I don't, what if I do.

02:00.730 --> 02:02.160
We'll talk a little
bit about those things,

02:02.160 --> 02:04.960
but here's some stuff I want
to talk a little bit about.

02:06.030 --> 02:10.000
Not necessarily all in that
order, but pretty close to it.

02:10.000 --> 02:11.700
I do want to talk about some demographics

02:11.700 --> 02:13.970
and how we're structured,
and why we're structured

02:13.970 --> 02:16.520
the way that we are.

02:16.520 --> 02:19.300
And then what your role
is, what my role is,

02:19.300 --> 02:21.420
what your supervisor's role is,

02:21.420 --> 02:23.690
because this is a team sport.

02:23.690 --> 02:26.530
It's not just you do it,

02:26.530 --> 02:28.470
and magic happens.

02:28.470 --> 02:30.520
There's no magic to any of this.

02:30.520 --> 02:32.780
There's no magic to
movement, there's no magic

02:32.780 --> 02:35.319
to development, there's
no magic to you being

02:35.319 --> 02:37.540
interested in it, there is none.

02:37.540 --> 02:39.870
You have to look at it
deliberately for yourself

02:39.870 --> 02:42.870
and those people that
work for you and with you,

02:42.870 --> 02:44.253
and what you want to do.

02:45.490 --> 02:46.990
There's a lot of opportunities

02:46.990 --> 02:48.980
and the opportunities will span from

02:48.980 --> 02:50.580
I want to stay where I'm at, to

02:50.580 --> 02:53.503
I want to go to 95 different places,

02:54.910 --> 02:57.393
and everything that's on
the in between of that.

02:58.240 --> 03:01.890
So for Force Support I want to talk about,

03:01.890 --> 03:02.723
next slide please.

03:02.723 --> 03:05.820
I want to talk a little
bit about the demographics.

03:05.820 --> 03:09.380
This is off of a page,
AFPC, called PERSTATS,

03:09.380 --> 03:11.960
and it's just a new way
to display big data.

03:11.960 --> 03:13.080
This is Air Force data.

03:13.080 --> 03:15.160
This is big Air Force data,
and what does that mean?

03:15.160 --> 03:20.160
That just means that captures
all of civilians APF,

03:21.360 --> 03:25.190
Appropriated Funds Personnel.

03:25.190 --> 03:28.750
In Force Support, we are
more than appropriated funds.

03:28.750 --> 03:31.050
We're not appropriated
and we're appropriated,

03:32.060 --> 03:35.620
and although there is a difference there,

03:35.620 --> 03:37.810
there is no division in my mind

03:37.810 --> 03:40.920
about who is in Force Support, alright?

03:40.920 --> 03:42.040
There is no line there.

03:42.040 --> 03:43.460
Force Support is Force Support

03:43.460 --> 03:45.200
and it's all of those employees,

03:45.200 --> 03:47.910
regardless of appropriated
or not appropriated funding.

03:47.910 --> 03:49.550
But this is kind of how it looks

03:49.550 --> 03:52.010
if we wanted to parse it out.

03:52.010 --> 03:55.176
It's about 180, 185,000,
depends on what day

03:55.176 --> 03:56.730
you take the snapshot.

03:56.730 --> 03:58.410
Everything is a snapshot at a time.

03:58.410 --> 04:00.920
It's relative to the time
that data was captured,

04:00.920 --> 04:02.740
about 185,000.

04:02.740 --> 04:06.470
We know that the average
time is about 17 years.

04:06.470 --> 04:08.750
We know that the average age is somewhere

04:08.750 --> 04:11.290
right around 46 big Air Force,

04:11.290 --> 04:14.700
47 at the federal level,
49 for Force Support.

04:14.700 --> 04:15.980
Why does that make a difference?

04:15.980 --> 04:17.630
That's only one or two years.

04:17.630 --> 04:20.960
Well, if you know anything
about statistics, and you do,

04:20.960 --> 04:22.710
probably more than you realize,

04:22.710 --> 04:26.760
is that you would have to
agree, nah, it'll go quicker.

04:26.760 --> 04:29.560
So if you agree, what we're
currently getting at here,

04:29.560 --> 04:33.820
is you have to have a whole
lot of folks above the age

04:33.820 --> 04:38.483
of 46 or 47 to drive an
average age of 46 or 47.

04:39.690 --> 04:42.370
That's the little takeaway.

04:42.370 --> 04:44.110
You know, and it doesn't
mean you're older,

04:44.110 --> 04:47.278
you're just a little more
seasoned than some others,

04:47.278 --> 04:48.963
and I'm right up there with you.

04:51.060 --> 04:54.456
Matter of fact, what is today? (stutters)

04:54.456 --> 04:57.123
In seven days, I will hit 42 years.

04:58.240 --> 05:00.890
That's a long time to do anything,

05:00.890 --> 05:04.210
let alone the same types of work.

05:04.210 --> 05:07.799
But 42 years for me, but
that in and of itself,

05:07.799 --> 05:11.260
as we begin to look at
who big Air Force is,

05:11.260 --> 05:12.770
we're 66% veteran.

05:12.770 --> 05:16.483
Not retired, but some type
of veteran affiliation.

05:17.845 --> 05:20.080
The Air Force is about 34% female.

05:20.080 --> 05:21.280
You can read all of that.

05:21.280 --> 05:23.510
I show you that to show
you the next slide,

05:23.510 --> 05:25.650
which is different than this one.

05:25.650 --> 05:28.400
It looks the same, but Force Support

05:30.506 --> 05:31.906
is different, so next slide.

05:32.910 --> 05:33.853
Force Support.

05:35.780 --> 05:37.120
In Force Support, I told you

05:37.120 --> 05:40.385
that there are about 20 to 21,000

05:40.385 --> 05:43.620
appropriated fund employees.

05:43.620 --> 05:45.600
That's again, in any one shot in time.

05:45.600 --> 05:46.773
Why is that important?

05:47.660 --> 05:49.580
I'm trying to put this in context for you,

05:49.580 --> 05:53.120
well along with the scope of
what we're talking about here.

05:53.120 --> 05:57.240
21,000 appropriated employees.

05:57.240 --> 06:00.930
When I put NAF with that,

06:00.930 --> 06:05.930
we are right around 41, 42,000 employees.

06:08.310 --> 06:09.240
What does that equal?

06:09.240 --> 06:10.780
That equals the largest career field

06:10.780 --> 06:12.960
in the United States Air
Force is what it equals.

06:12.960 --> 06:14.370
Right now, the only one that comes,

06:14.370 --> 06:19.207
if we split NAF and APF out,
then it would be Logistics.

06:20.240 --> 06:23.380
They would have the most,
because they have right around

06:23.380 --> 06:26.380
40,000 just on the APF side.

06:26.380 --> 06:28.620
When you put NAF and APF together,

06:28.620 --> 06:31.910
we are at 40 some-odd,
we're at 41, 42,000 people.

06:31.910 --> 06:33.100
Why does that matter?

06:33.100 --> 06:35.290
Let me put it in a
different context for you.

06:35.290 --> 06:36.853
Inside Force Support,

06:39.470 --> 06:43.680
there's 2,000 officers,
there's 7,000 enlisted,

06:43.680 --> 06:45.523
and there's 41,000 civilians.

06:46.660 --> 06:48.640
That's the frame that
I want to put that in,

06:48.640 --> 06:50.820
that's the context I
want you to understand.

06:50.820 --> 06:52.070
And what does that mean?

06:52.070 --> 06:54.313
That just means that we're 80% civilian.

06:55.550 --> 06:58.030
That is a large number.

06:58.030 --> 07:02.030
That is a large scope
to program with a lot

07:02.030 --> 07:05.600
of employees that are CONUS and OCONUS.

07:05.600 --> 07:08.400
And we are one of the few career fields,

07:08.400 --> 07:11.450
outside of some within
the logistics and centers,

07:11.450 --> 07:15.480
that we have civilian squadron
commander role equivalents.

07:15.480 --> 07:17.393
And we have 14 of those positions.

07:18.690 --> 07:20.960
Of the 80 some-odd
Force Support squadrons,

07:20.960 --> 07:24.290
14 of those are
civilian-led organizations.

07:24.290 --> 07:26.020
If there is a military commander,

07:26.020 --> 07:27.730
there is a civilian deputy;

07:27.730 --> 07:29.490
If there's a civilian director,

07:29.490 --> 07:31.603
there is a military deputy.

07:32.700 --> 07:35.283
And that's how it is across the spectrum.

07:36.350 --> 07:40.340
That's not like every other career field.

07:40.340 --> 07:42.160
It's just not.

07:42.160 --> 07:45.220
And so that's the message
I want to try to bring.

07:45.220 --> 07:48.920
The other piece I want you to
understand in Force Support,

07:48.920 --> 07:50.580
is that up until just recently

07:50.580 --> 07:53.153
in about the last 18 or so months,

07:55.980 --> 07:58.820
common info and cyber, does
that resonate with you?

07:58.820 --> 08:01.117
Common info and then cyber?

08:01.117 --> 08:04.800
(stutters) That career field was split.

08:04.800 --> 08:06.890
They were split into
common info and cyber.

08:06.890 --> 08:09.603
They were one, and they were split.

08:10.920 --> 08:15.350
About 4,800 of those common info

08:15.350 --> 08:16.773
are now in Force Support.

08:17.900 --> 08:21.510
Cyber is on its own, is
its own career field,

08:21.510 --> 08:24.620
and a lot of the comm were
taken and were absorbed

08:24.620 --> 08:26.240
into the Force Support world.

08:26.240 --> 08:30.440
And there's a lot of
lower-graded positions in there.

08:30.440 --> 08:33.393
The 318s, the administrative assistants,

08:34.487 --> 08:35.890
and administrative people.

08:35.890 --> 08:38.960
So we picked up pretty close to 5,000,

08:38.960 --> 08:41.240
I guess a year and some
change ago right, Nate?

08:41.240 --> 08:42.870
Something like, yeah, about 18 months.

08:42.870 --> 08:44.430
So somewhere right around in there,

08:44.430 --> 08:46.950
we picked up about another
40 some-odd hundred

08:46.950 --> 08:50.130
worth of civilians.

08:50.130 --> 08:55.130
About the same time, we picked
up about 3,300 enlisted.

08:56.860 --> 09:00.080
The 3F5, the administration.

09:00.080 --> 09:01.773
The 3F5 career field, AFSC 3F5.

09:04.312 --> 09:09.130
(stutters) They are brought
into the Force Support arena.

09:09.130 --> 09:11.850
So that's what makes
up this 2,000 officers,

09:11.850 --> 09:15.720
7,000 enlisted, and 40
some-odd thousand and change,

09:15.720 --> 09:18.930
approximately depending on what
day you take their picture,

09:18.930 --> 09:22.660
of people that are within
our Force Support arena.

09:22.660 --> 09:24.700
Some differences I want
to bring to your point,

09:24.700 --> 09:27.050
we're a little bit older than the average

09:27.050 --> 09:29.040
on the big Air Force side.

09:29.040 --> 09:33.770
The demographics is a complete
flip from the Air Force.

09:33.770 --> 09:36.840
The Air Force overall is 31% female.

09:36.840 --> 09:41.840
Within Force Support, we're
61, 62, 63, 64% female.

09:43.460 --> 09:44.750
That is a difference.

09:44.750 --> 09:45.960
It's kinda like Medical.

09:45.960 --> 09:49.830
Medical is one of those
diametrically different

09:49.830 --> 09:50.990
career fields.

09:50.990 --> 09:51.823
How do I know that?

09:51.823 --> 09:54.050
I was the career field manager for Medical

09:54.050 --> 09:56.170
for a while, for a couple years.

09:56.170 --> 09:58.220
So, as you begin to look at these

09:58.220 --> 10:01.137
different groups of people-
