00:01.170 --> 00:03.080
- Hi everybody, I'm Colonel Sean Tyler

00:03.080 --> 00:04.940
Commander of the 633rd Air Base Wing

00:04.940 --> 00:06.740
here at Joint Base, Langley-Eustis.

00:06.740 --> 00:08.730
- And I'm Chief Mast Sargent Shane Wagner.

00:08.730 --> 00:10.210
We wanted to sit down with you today

00:10.210 --> 00:12.820
and give you an update
on the new base housing.

00:12.820 --> 00:15.370
- A month ago we asked our
Langley family housing residents

00:15.370 --> 00:18.080
to fill out surveys on housing conditions.

00:18.080 --> 00:19.980
We heard your concerns, and we are taking

00:19.980 --> 00:22.120
intentional steps towards improvement.

00:22.120 --> 00:24.570
Which is what we'd like
to share with you today.

00:24.570 --> 00:26.480
As many of you know we began conducting

00:26.480 --> 00:28.840
thorough inspections across base housing.

00:28.840 --> 00:31.090
Gathering valuable
information on any issues

00:31.090 --> 00:33.310
that need to be repaired and resolved.

00:33.310 --> 00:34.880
In addition to these inspections,

00:34.880 --> 00:36.640
senior leaders from congress,

00:36.640 --> 00:39.050
and Headquarters Air
Force visited Langley,

00:39.050 --> 00:42.020
met with residents and
listened to your concerns.

00:42.020 --> 00:44.430
That listening has paid
off, just this week

00:44.430 --> 00:46.810
Hunt housing began a two
month project to update

00:46.810 --> 00:48.410
the mechanical infrastructure,

00:48.410 --> 00:50.730
and a portion of the
homes at Bethel Manor.

00:50.730 --> 00:52.790
We've also partnered with
Hunt Leadership to form the

00:52.790 --> 00:55.120
Langley Family Housing
Partnering initiative.

00:55.120 --> 00:57.730
An effort aimed at improving
communication between you,

00:57.730 --> 01:00.780
your leadership and Hunt moving forward.

01:00.780 --> 01:02.200
- We've made a lot of progress

01:02.200 --> 01:03.730
but there's still work to be done.

01:03.730 --> 01:05.800
Our priority is you and your families

01:05.800 --> 01:08.280
and there are things you
can do to help us, help you.

01:08.280 --> 01:09.650
As this process continues,

01:09.650 --> 01:11.840
don't forget to use your chain of command.

01:11.840 --> 01:13.230
Reach out to your First Sargent's,

01:13.230 --> 01:14.920
your Chiefs, reach out to me.

01:14.920 --> 01:16.460
And make sure you're
continuing to fill out

01:16.460 --> 01:18.010
the work orders as they are critical

01:18.010 --> 01:20.560
for housing partners
to address the issues.

01:20.560 --> 01:22.040
- We'll continue working with Hunt,

01:22.040 --> 01:24.280
and our mission partners
to get this right.

01:24.280 --> 01:25.940
And we'll provide you with more updates

01:25.940 --> 01:27.400
as they become available.

01:27.400 --> 01:29.600
This is about taking care of our people.

01:29.600 --> 01:32.110
And while there's still
progress that needs to be made,

01:32.110 --> 01:33.880
we will be with you every step of the way

01:33.880 --> 01:34.823
to see it through.
