00:00.450 --> 00:03.030
- Good afternoon Flying
Tigers and Team Moody.

00:03.030 --> 00:05.570
I'm sitting here with our new
Command Chief, Chief Wilfong,

00:05.570 --> 00:07.280
and we just wanted to
provide you an update

00:07.280 --> 00:09.040
as we head into the weekend.

00:09.040 --> 00:11.120
So far, we've had one confirmed case

00:11.120 --> 00:13.600
at Team Moody of COVID-19.

00:13.600 --> 00:15.460
What we've done is, as of yesterday,

00:15.460 --> 00:17.970
we went to mission
essential personnel only.

00:17.970 --> 00:19.720
We've declared a public health emergency

00:19.720 --> 00:21.560
in conjunction and coordination

00:21.560 --> 00:23.320
with the Georgia Public Health Department

00:23.320 --> 00:24.940
and Air Combat Command.

00:24.940 --> 00:27.340
And we've gone to HPCON Bravo.

00:27.340 --> 00:29.210
All of this is done in an attempt

00:29.210 --> 00:32.853
to limit the spread of the
virus and preserve combat power.

00:33.860 --> 00:34.700
So, for those Airmen

00:34.700 --> 00:37.260
that are not considered part
of the mission essential team

00:37.260 --> 00:39.110
that are required to be at work,

00:39.110 --> 00:41.870
the expectation is that you'll
primarily be at your domicile

00:41.870 --> 00:43.370
or your place of residence.

00:43.370 --> 00:44.830
This is important as we try

00:44.830 --> 00:47.000
and limit the spread of the virus.

00:47.000 --> 00:50.010
Additionally, if you are
under isolation or quarantine

00:50.010 --> 00:51.380
we really need you to comply

00:51.380 --> 00:54.210
with the written guidance
for everybody's safety.

00:54.210 --> 00:58.310
What we can all do to help
limit the spread of the virus

00:58.310 --> 01:01.210
is to practice social distance.

01:01.210 --> 01:03.450
Additionally, good personal hygiene,

01:03.450 --> 01:07.550
limiting handshakes,
sanitizing common use areas,

01:07.550 --> 01:10.660
all these things that are
contained within the CDC guidance

01:10.660 --> 01:13.890
and can be found at our
webpage at moody.af.mil

01:13.890 --> 01:16.150
along with additional
guidance and information.

01:16.150 --> 01:17.320
At this point, I want to hand it over

01:17.320 --> 01:19.890
to Chief Wilfong for a few words.

01:19.890 --> 01:22.040
- First off, it's great
to be part of Team Moody

01:22.040 --> 01:24.420
and the world famous Flying Tigers.

01:24.420 --> 01:26.950
Supervisors, you've been doing
an outstanding job already.

01:26.950 --> 01:28.840
The feedback I'm getting
is very impressive

01:28.840 --> 01:31.040
and we appreciate all the
hard work that you're doing

01:31.040 --> 01:33.370
and we need you to keep that
up throughout this process.

01:33.370 --> 01:35.370
It can be confusing and scary for people.

01:35.370 --> 01:37.590
Supervisors we can't ask you enough,

01:37.590 --> 01:40.650
reach out, talk to your Airmen,
engage with your Airmen,

01:40.650 --> 01:42.330
and find out what they need.

01:42.330 --> 01:44.460
Airmen in the dorms, first off

01:44.460 --> 01:46.350
we don't want you to suffer in silence.

01:46.350 --> 01:48.450
It was a really tough
decision for the team

01:48.450 --> 01:52.430
to shut the dining facility
but it was the right decision.

01:52.430 --> 01:54.633
With that, we have given you all BAS,

01:55.710 --> 01:57.720
but we understand that that
will not hit your paycheck

01:57.720 --> 01:58.900
for another two weeks.

01:58.900 --> 02:00.260
If two weeks is too long to wait

02:00.260 --> 02:01.620
for you to receive that money,

02:01.620 --> 02:02.830
we need you to let us know.

02:02.830 --> 02:05.110
There are resources on Team Moody

02:05.110 --> 02:06.970
to get you that money right now

02:06.970 --> 02:08.530
if you need that money right now.

02:08.530 --> 02:10.140
First Sergeants, first off,

02:10.140 --> 02:11.900
thank you for everything you're doing.

02:11.900 --> 02:14.710
Your engagement at all levels
is very much appreciated.

02:14.710 --> 02:17.990
You are the source of information

02:17.990 --> 02:21.180
for most of our supervisors,
most of our Commanders.

02:21.180 --> 02:23.030
You understand where we
need to go for everything

02:23.030 --> 02:26.090
on this installation when it
comes to the situation at hand.

02:26.090 --> 02:28.530
Continue pressing that
information down to your Airmen

02:28.530 --> 02:30.080
and continue staying engaged.

02:30.080 --> 02:32.250
We're obviously asking a lot
of our Airmen here at Moody,

02:32.250 --> 02:33.640
that's Capital A Airmen.

02:33.640 --> 02:35.670
Continue doing the amazing
job that you're doing,

02:35.670 --> 02:38.060
because you all are doing
an incredible job right now.

02:38.060 --> 02:41.070
And also continue taking
care of your families.

02:41.070 --> 02:42.110
- Chief, that's a great point.

02:42.110 --> 02:45.410
Our families are clearly
affected by this, as well.

02:45.410 --> 02:47.730
We'll make sure we continue
to push information out

02:47.730 --> 02:49.150
through the Key Spouses

02:49.150 --> 02:51.490
and please reach out to
them and ask questions.

02:51.490 --> 02:54.600
If there, anything is coming
up and you have any concerns.

02:54.600 --> 02:55.950
So, as we work through this

02:55.950 --> 02:57.810
there will be plenty of unique situations.

02:57.810 --> 02:59.360
Please, work with your chain of command.

02:59.360 --> 03:00.290
Talk to your shirts

03:00.290 --> 03:02.490
and your leadership and your supervision.

03:02.490 --> 03:05.080
And they'll let you know
what we're gonna do.

03:05.080 --> 03:06.900
Ultimately, we're trying to balance

03:06.900 --> 03:08.640
limiting the spread of the virus

03:08.640 --> 03:10.343
with preserving combat power.

03:11.260 --> 03:14.870
So, from Chief and I, have
a good weekend, stay safe.

03:14.870 --> 03:17.470
Please reach out with
any questions or concerns

03:17.470 --> 03:19.030
and we'll continue to push information

03:19.030 --> 03:20.610
as we address this challenge.

03:20.610 --> 03:21.443
Thank you.
