So you're in 04:48.516 --> 04:50.490 the place to be . So thank you for 04:50.490 --> 04:52.712 being here . Thanks for being with us . 04:52.712 --> 04:54.879 Thanks for being a part of this wing , 04:54.879 --> 04:54.850 and it's greatly appreciated . No , 04:55.390 --> 04:57.600 before I will , I'm gonna go back to 04:57.600 --> 04:59.544 this , have to do this . Before he 04:59.544 --> 05:01.656 started , we did have a question from 05:01.656 --> 05:03.600 yesterday's commanders Call that I 05:03.600 --> 05:05.600 wanted to address in the question , 05:05.600 --> 05:07.822 basically , was about fitness testing . 05:07.822 --> 05:09.933 I know that's high on people's list . 05:09.933 --> 05:11.840 Understandably So right now , the 05:11.840 --> 05:14.007 months of if you were doing the months 05:14.007 --> 05:16.062 of April or May you have a six month 05:16.062 --> 05:17.840 exemption , but they have not . 05:17.840 --> 05:19.618 Headquarters has not pushed out 05:19.618 --> 05:21.729 anything past that . So as of current 05:21.729 --> 05:23.896 status , anybody due in June will test 05:23.896 --> 05:26.730 in June . I do know that there are some . 05:26.740 --> 05:29.620 There's some plans to change that up a 05:29.620 --> 05:31.787 higher headquarters , but they haven't 05:31.787 --> 05:34.009 come down yet . I'm hopeful that that's 05:34.009 --> 05:36.064 gonna happen because there's a whole 05:36.064 --> 05:35.930 host of problems are gonna run into 05:35.940 --> 05:38.107 later on down the year . If they don't 05:38.107 --> 05:39.773 figure this out , meaning are 05:39.773 --> 05:41.884 throughput will not be able to handle 05:41.884 --> 05:44.051 how many people that we have to test , 05:44.051 --> 05:43.950 but unfortunately , as of right now , 05:43.950 --> 05:45.950 if you're doing Junior will test in 05:45.950 --> 05:48.117 June . Now that the hard part is gonna 05:48.117 --> 05:50.228 be June is a virtual uta , so there's 05:50.228 --> 05:52.283 nowhere to test , right ? That's the 05:52.283 --> 05:54.339 obvious question . We will work that 05:54.339 --> 05:56.506 piece out , but basically , it's gonna 05:56.506 --> 05:58.672 end up being exemptions in June if the 05:58.672 --> 06:01.550 June UTA s goes as scheduled as virtual . 06:01.550 --> 06:05.300 So that's what we know as of now . All 06:05.300 --> 06:07.356 right , let's talk about we're gonna 06:07.356 --> 06:09.689 talk about so then we can talk about it . 06:09.689 --> 06:11.633 Uh , we're gonna hit on leadership 06:11.633 --> 06:13.467 changes . We're gonna talk about 06:13.940 --> 06:16.010 essentially the road ahead and is it 06:16.010 --> 06:18.780 pertains to the Corona virus issues and 06:18.780 --> 06:22.730 how the 3 49 adapts and overcomes 12 06:22.730 --> 06:24.730 to 18 months out . Then we're gonna 06:24.730 --> 06:26.841 roll into our new strategic plan . We 06:26.841 --> 06:28.940 had a strategic alignment event on . 06:28.940 --> 06:31.162 We're gonna outline that we're gonna go 06:31.162 --> 06:33.496 to some recognition and some promotions , 06:33.496 --> 06:36.250 some some out of boys , and then we'll 06:36.250 --> 06:39.000 take questions and then dio fund save 06:39.000 --> 06:40.000 at the end . 06:44.130 --> 06:46.780 Okay , So as far as leadership changes 06:46.780 --> 06:50.490 goes , you are way smarter than I am . 06:50.740 --> 06:52.851 So you probably figured out that I am 06:52.851 --> 06:55.129 not currently offline and you're right . 06:55.129 --> 06:57.296 Um , my name is Carl .

He he put out a a 11:44.800 --> 11:48.370 message late April , and in that he 11:48.380 --> 11:51.230 said it's time for our next reset on 30 11:51.230 --> 11:54.440 June , which he defines as living and 11:54.440 --> 11:56.496 operating with the critical virus in 11:56.496 --> 11:58.551 our midst . And in that message , he 11:58.551 --> 12:02.480 goes on to lay out the road ahead as it 12:02.480 --> 12:04.750 pertains the Air Force over the next 12 12:04.750 --> 12:08.240 18 months . But the really the bottom 12:08.240 --> 12:10.540 line is that this virus is gonna be 12:10.540 --> 12:14.410 here with us for the immediate 12:14.410 --> 12:16.440 future , and longer . It's gonna be 12:16.440 --> 12:18.662 here for a while . We didn't anticipate 12:18.662 --> 12:21.950 it impacting us in our mission for the 12:21.950 --> 12:25.260 long term , but we now need to work 12:25.810 --> 12:28.250 under those degraded conditions . So 12:28.250 --> 12:32.200 with that , we need Teoh start bringing 12:32.200 --> 12:34.730 it all back , getting back to doing our 12:34.730 --> 12:36.786 business and doing the mission . The 12:36.786 --> 12:38.897 boss is going to speak to that next . 12:38.897 --> 12:42.460 But , uh , now , just turn over here at 12:42.460 --> 12:45.000 the Spencer . Okay , so that's that's 12:45.000 --> 12:47.180 kind of a little higher echelon . How 12:47.180 --> 12:49.291 that But I'm sure where you're really 12:49.291 --> 12:51.458 more concerned is how does that affect 12:51.458 --> 12:55.400 us ? Um , so , as you know , we are a 12:55.410 --> 12:58.130 tenant organization here on Travis Air 12:58.130 --> 13:00.241 Force Base , the host installation of 13:00.241 --> 13:02.297 60th Air Mobility Wing . They really 13:02.297 --> 13:05.020 own the facilities , and we rely on 13:05.020 --> 13:07.242 them for a tremendous amount of support 13:07.242 --> 13:10.180 that we cannot provide . With that in 13:10.180 --> 13:12.980 mind , we are . We're kind of beholding 13:12.980 --> 13:15.750 to them to to fall in step with them as 13:15.750 --> 13:17.806 they come back to this path to new , 13:17.806 --> 13:20.170 normal or path , the new abnormal as it 13:20.370 --> 13:22.370 I think they're starting to call it 13:22.370 --> 13:24.370 because that's really probably what 13:24.370 --> 13:26.481 it's gonna be . Whatever we get to is 13:26.481 --> 13:28.481 gonna be abnormal . Um , so they've 13:28.481 --> 13:30.537 outlined a four step or a four stage 13:30.537 --> 13:32.537 plan . I'm sure you've seen similar 13:32.537 --> 13:34.814 ones with state and county governments . 13:34.814 --> 13:37.148 That really kind of it's the crawl walk , 13:37.148 --> 13:39.426 run approach . We're gonna do a little , 13:39.426 --> 13:38.320 then we're going to a little more than 13:38.320 --> 13:40.320 we're gonna do . A little more than 13:40.320 --> 13:42.542 that frustrating part with this plan is 13:42.542 --> 13:44.709 that it's not calendar based . They're 13:44.709 --> 13:46.720 using a bunch of medical statistics 13:47.390 --> 13:50.810 data . If you will t determine when 13:50.810 --> 13:52.810 it's time or when it's safe to come 13:52.810 --> 13:55.010 back in what capacity and so there's , 13:55.010 --> 13:57.066 you know , there's infection rates , 13:57.066 --> 13:59.177 there's death rates . There's a whole 13:59.177 --> 14:01.510 host of issues that they're looking for , 14:01.510 --> 14:03.510 data that they're looking at to see 14:03.510 --> 14:05.677 when it's safe to come back , and then 14:05.677 --> 14:07.788 even in that situation , how much you 14:07.788 --> 14:10.010 know is okay to come back . I know that 14:10.010 --> 14:11.843 super nebulous and I didn't nail 14:11.843 --> 14:13.788 anything down for you , but that's 14:13.788 --> 14:15.788 where we're going in the future . I 14:15.788 --> 14:17.843 don't know when that future is gonna 14:17.843 --> 14:19.954 happen . It could be next week and it 14:19.954 --> 14:19.900 could be in two months . We're just 14:19.900 --> 14:22.067 waiting for the doctors to give us the 14:22.067 --> 14:24.930 green light . We understand . We 14:24.930 --> 14:27.097 understand that all of all of us are , 14:27.097 --> 14:29.319 by and large , Taipei , we want to come 14:29.319 --> 14:31.430 to work . We've got things to do . We 14:31.430 --> 14:33.652 put the uniform on because we love what 14:33.652 --> 14:33.540 we do and we love our jobs and we love 14:33.540 --> 14:35.762 our task and we want to go do those and 14:35.762 --> 14:37.707 we fully understand that and we're 14:37.707 --> 14:39.651 trying to get to that point and be 14:39.651 --> 14:41.873 ready for that . But as it stands right 14:41.873 --> 14:44.096 now , we don't want toe . We don't want 14:44.096 --> 14:46.096 to charge ahead of the 60th because 14:46.096 --> 14:47.929 they live on this installation . 14:47.929 --> 14:47.750 They've got housing their families air 14:47.750 --> 14:49.639 here they work , they have larger 14:49.639 --> 14:51.806 numbers and we don't want to get ahead 14:51.806 --> 14:53.861 of them , bring people back to early 14:53.861 --> 14:56.083 and then risk infecting our host wing . 14:56.083 --> 14:58.300 So that's that's kind of what's going 14:58.300 --> 15:01.950 on with a Sfar is coming back to work 15:02.630 --> 15:04.686 as far as the way we plan to once we 15:04.686 --> 15:06.908 get the green light is we're gonna kind 15:06.908 --> 15:09.019 of like I said , do this crawl , walk 15:09.019 --> 15:11.074 run thing where we we're gonna bring 15:11.074 --> 15:12.963 back some arts , some full timers 15:12.963 --> 15:12.560 rather . And then we're gonna bring 15:12.560 --> 15:14.727 back a few more full timers . And then 15:14.727 --> 15:16.949 once those , you know , we get the full 15:16.949 --> 15:19.004 timers in place so that they can you 15:19.004 --> 15:21.116 turn the lights on , dust the cobwebs 15:21.116 --> 15:23.338 off on , make the place ready for you , 15:23.338 --> 15:25.560 you know the masses to come back , Then 15:25.560 --> 15:27.870 we'll start metering in , you know , 15:28.030 --> 15:30.240 tr's and starting to get back to more 15:30.240 --> 15:32.880 of a normal Uta . Speaking of uta is 15:32.880 --> 15:35.047 the June Uta . As I'm sure most of you 15:35.047 --> 15:37.158 know , the June UTA is virtually this 15:37.158 --> 15:39.269 point because we don't have the green 15:39.269 --> 15:41.324 light to bring people back . And but 15:41.324 --> 15:43.436 we're trying very hard to make July a 15:43.436 --> 15:46.130 live event in some form , it definitely 15:46.130 --> 15:49.260 won't be 100% live . But hopefully we 15:49.260 --> 15:51.482 can have some members back on station . 15:52.170 --> 15:55.150 In furtherance of this , one of the 15:55.150 --> 15:57.206 things that we owe to you is to make 15:57.206 --> 15:59.261 make the 3 49th of physical space is 15:59.420 --> 16:01.980 safe for you to come back to you . So 16:01.980 --> 16:04.036 that means prepping the , you know , 16:04.036 --> 16:06.202 prepping all of our units physically . 16:06.202 --> 16:08.258 And you've seen it from probably the 16:08.258 --> 16:10.424 big box stores where you have a single 16:10.424 --> 16:12.647 point of entry in a single exit . We're 16:12.647 --> 16:12.640 going to get PPE . The Mission Support 16:12.640 --> 16:14.680 group has been charging ahead doing 16:14.680 --> 16:16.847 great things , and they procured us an 16:16.847 --> 16:20.280 extra 1500 reusable mass , 16:20.560 --> 16:22.671 which will be distributing out to the 16:22.671 --> 16:24.893 wing organizations to be there when you 16:24.893 --> 16:26.782 get there , putting in sanitizing 16:26.782 --> 16:28.449 stations , you know , putting 16:28.449 --> 16:30.671 demarcation points in gathering areas , 16:30.671 --> 16:32.727 so you can know what is six feet and 16:32.727 --> 16:34.893 what isn't taping off chairs , putting 16:34.893 --> 16:37.004 signs up , reminding you to wear your 16:37.004 --> 16:36.910 mask . All of this will be done by the 16:36.910 --> 16:39.430 time our masses get back to work . 16:39.540 --> 16:41.707 That's our that's our due out . That's 16:41.707 --> 16:43.762 what we owe to you to make the place 16:43.840 --> 16:47.150 safer when you return . Ah , 16:48.500 --> 16:50.710 right now , some of the yearly events 16:50.710 --> 16:52.821 that we do , such as Operation Family 16:52.821 --> 16:56.550 Circle and , um , the wing ball were so 16:56.550 --> 16:59.010 planning on doing that , but , you know , 16:59.230 --> 17:01.452 plans or just a place to deviate from . 17:01.452 --> 17:03.508 So if we can't do it , we can't do . 17:03.508 --> 17:05.563 But we're really trying to make this 17:05.563 --> 17:07.850 place look as normal as possible for 17:07.850 --> 17:11.810 you when you come back . Okay , s so 17:11.810 --> 17:14.100 that's really I think that in a very 17:14.100 --> 17:16.156 large nutshell . Says what the way I 17:16.156 --> 17:18.400 had is so we're going to move to a 17:18.410 --> 17:20.577 different topic . I think hopefully we 17:20.577 --> 17:23.070 have ended any discussion of Corona 17:23.070 --> 17:24.959 virus in a way that you know , is 17:24.959 --> 17:27.440 fatiguing on . We're gonna move on to 17:27.440 --> 17:29.720 our strategic plan . What this is is 17:29.720 --> 17:31.720 this is basically where the wing is 17:31.720 --> 17:34.060 moving for the next 2 to 5 years . This 17:34.060 --> 17:35.980 is what drives how we make our 17:35.980 --> 17:38.091 decisions to accomplish the mission . 17:38.091 --> 17:40.950 So what that looks like is in December , 17:42.160 --> 17:44.382 leadership from across the wing and the 17:44.382 --> 17:46.493 four groups got together and sat in a 17:46.493 --> 17:48.716 closed space . They locked the door and 17:48.716 --> 17:50.993 wouldn't let us out until we were done . 17:50.993 --> 17:53.049 And we basically worked out how this 17:53.049 --> 17:55.216 wing goes forward , what our plans are 17:55.216 --> 17:54.460 and where we're going to focus our 17:54.470 --> 17:57.110 efforts in furtherance of our mission 17:57.110 --> 17:59.710 and any directives by higher 17:59.710 --> 18:03.570 headquarters . Both naff command 18:04.220 --> 18:06.442 headquarters , Air Force so that we can 18:06.442 --> 18:08.387 really be ready to sport combatant 18:08.387 --> 18:11.820 commanders if we're called upon . So we 18:11.820 --> 18:13.931 started . The first thing that we did 18:13.931 --> 18:16.098 is we tried to figure out what exactly 18:16.098 --> 18:18.209 is our mission . OK , what is it that 18:18.209 --> 18:20.376 we have to do here at Travis Air Force 18:20.376 --> 18:22.542 Base in the 3 49th in order to support 18:22.542 --> 18:24.764 our directives ? So we came up with our 18:24.764 --> 18:26.987 new wing mission statement , and that's 18:26.987 --> 18:28.987 what has said . That is what guides 18:28.987 --> 18:31.209 what what we do on a day to day basis , 18:31.209 --> 18:33.542 trying to make it as simple as possible . 18:33.542 --> 18:35.431 We came up with one that we think 18:35.431 --> 18:37.431 really just nails on the head , and 18:37.431 --> 18:36.700 that is a generating , sustained , 18:36.700 --> 18:38.811 combat , ready mobility , Aaron . And 18:38.811 --> 18:40.978 that's it . That's what we do . That's 18:40.978 --> 18:43.180 why we're here . We trained him and we 18:43.180 --> 18:45.124 sent him out the door to be combat 18:45.124 --> 18:47.347 ready mobility . Aaron , that's what we 18:47.347 --> 18:49.610 do . Thanks , sir . And so the vision 18:49.610 --> 18:51.960 statement when we worked on the vision 18:51.960 --> 18:55.280 statement will first for you all . What 18:55.280 --> 18:57.502 a vision statement is , what we want to 18:57.502 --> 18:59.447 see Armand doing in support of our 18:59.447 --> 19:01.840 mission . So that's a futurist that 19:01.840 --> 19:04.140 look at at what we want , 19:05.750 --> 19:08.400 what we want to be as a wing and where 19:08.400 --> 19:12.000 we want to be is a wing . So we 19:12.010 --> 19:14.000 distilled everything down to four 19:14.000 --> 19:16.550 simple words , and that's a adapt Excel , 19:16.880 --> 19:20.420 innovate and lead on those those four 19:20.660 --> 19:22.938 fundamental Tell tenants , if you will , 19:23.990 --> 19:26.950 or what we want our airman , uh , to be 19:26.950 --> 19:29.160 living their lives by and doing their 19:29.160 --> 19:32.000 jobs by all of these things here 19:32.010 --> 19:33.954 between the Mission division , all 19:33.954 --> 19:35.677 these things shape our thought 19:35.677 --> 19:38.980 processes when developing priorities as 19:38.980 --> 19:40.950 a wing . Okay , 19:42.840 --> 19:45.062 so now that we've got a mission , so we 19:45.062 --> 19:47.229 know what we're supposed to do and now 19:47.229 --> 19:49.173 and now we have a vision and where 19:49.173 --> 19:51.229 that's basically where we want to be 19:51.229 --> 19:50.920 and how we're going to get to where we 19:50.920 --> 19:54.670 want to be , that shaped what our 19:54.670 --> 19:57.030 priorities are for the wing now , just 19:57.030 --> 19:59.870 to be just to be fully open here , we 19:59.870 --> 20:03.240 understand that there's 150 different 20:03.240 --> 20:05.018 priorities across the swing and 20:05.018 --> 20:07.184 probably a lot more than that . Okay , 20:07.690 --> 20:10.290 way . Understand that . But what we had 20:10.300 --> 20:12.467 is we have to figure out in this state 20:12.467 --> 20:14.689 where we're at right now and we look at 20:14.689 --> 20:16.800 you know , what is our readiness rate 20:16.800 --> 20:18.967 right now ? What is our manning rate ? 20:18.967 --> 20:21.078 How do we look right now ? Given that 20:21.078 --> 20:23.189 stuff , what are our priorities right 20:23.189 --> 20:25.411 now ? And then we could go back later . 20:25.411 --> 20:27.633 And if we achieve these priorities , we 20:27.633 --> 20:26.740 could weaken , bring in some new 20:26.740 --> 20:28.851 priorities . But for now , that's the 20:28.851 --> 20:30.962 way it stands . We got it down to our 20:30.962 --> 20:33.260 four top four priorities . Party one . 20:34.140 --> 20:36.307 We're gonna get ready . We're going to 20:36.307 --> 20:38.473 make sure that our m and are ready for 20:38.473 --> 20:40.640 what we know about . Okay , so we know 20:40.640 --> 20:42.973 the threats out there , we know what Oh , 20:42.973 --> 20:44.751 plans We support . We know what 20:44.751 --> 20:46.973 deployments Air upcoming . We know what 20:46.973 --> 20:49.084 higher headquarters says that we have 20:49.084 --> 20:51.307 to do . We owe it to you and we will be 20:51.307 --> 20:53.251 focused on making sure that you're 20:53.251 --> 20:55.362 ready to do those things that we have 20:55.362 --> 20:57.362 to do . And so that's where you see 20:57.362 --> 20:59.584 these . You know these TIF at the bar , 20:59.584 --> 21:02.570 the BDR , the key performance metrics . 21:02.570 --> 21:04.514 That's where we come up with those 21:04.514 --> 21:06.681 things because that is how we're going 21:06.681 --> 21:08.737 to get ready to do the stuff that we 21:08.737 --> 21:08.680 know that we have to do . We're going 21:08.680 --> 21:10.847 to train . You were going to make sure 21:10.847 --> 21:12.680 we can get you into the training 21:12.680 --> 21:12.150 program is that you need . And then 21:12.150 --> 21:13.983 once you get back , you get your 21:13.983 --> 21:16.039 seasoning training . You get your CD 21:16.039 --> 21:18.094 season . All of these things are the 21:18.094 --> 21:20.261 things that we're gonna make sure that 21:20.261 --> 21:20.040 our airman dio . And then we're going 21:20.040 --> 21:22.630 to use that to make decisions and with , 21:22.750 --> 21:24.861 you know , the catch Word is the data 21:24.861 --> 21:26.694 driven decisions , but that , in 21:26.694 --> 21:28.806 essence , basically means we're gonna 21:28.806 --> 21:28.170 take emotion out of it . We're gonna 21:28.170 --> 21:30.930 look at exactly where unit is , what 21:30.930 --> 21:33.270 their numbers are and where you use 21:33.270 --> 21:36.040 that to allocate . Resource is because , 21:36.310 --> 21:38.588 as we all know , this there are finite . 21:38.588 --> 21:40.430 Resource is we are in a resource 21:40.430 --> 21:42.263 constrained environment and it's 21:42.263 --> 21:44.430 probably not going to get any better . 21:44.430 --> 21:46.597 So we have to decide where to allocate 21:46.597 --> 21:46.370 those resource is so using data to 21:46.370 --> 21:48.259 figure out what units could use . 21:48.259 --> 21:50.426 Resource is whether that's manpower or 21:50.426 --> 21:52.426 money or equipment . That's what we 21:52.426 --> 21:54.592 that's what we're going to do . That's 21:54.592 --> 21:56.814 our priority . So then the flip to that 21:56.814 --> 21:58.981 on the party to is the stuff you don't 21:58.981 --> 22:01.092 know about ? Well , not that we don't 22:01.092 --> 22:00.340 know about , but things that are 22:00.340 --> 22:02.173 changing . So these air changing 22:02.173 --> 22:04.284 missions that we have in the Casey 46 22:04.284 --> 22:06.562 is a great example of that . The Casey , 22:06.562 --> 22:08.618 46 will be coming online in the next 22:08.618 --> 22:10.562 five years . That brings with it a 22:10.562 --> 22:12.673 whole bunch of problems where we have 22:12.673 --> 22:14.784 to bring down the KC 10 in a way that 22:14.784 --> 22:16.951 allows the KC 10 to still meet its its 22:16.951 --> 22:19.007 mission requirements . So we have to 22:19.007 --> 22:21.690 keep it man in all crew positions . At 22:21.690 --> 22:23.912 the same time , we have to feed Manning 22:23.912 --> 22:26.079 over into the ktc 46 so that when that 22:26.079 --> 22:28.134 comes online , it is also manned and 22:28.134 --> 22:30.023 ready to go . And and when you're 22:30.023 --> 22:32.134 talking about maintenance and support 22:32.134 --> 22:36.060 and Cruz and fueling and hangers and it 22:36.060 --> 22:38.004 just it's going to get very , very 22:38.004 --> 22:40.004 challenging . So we know our airman 22:40.004 --> 22:42.060 conduce it . We know we're up to the 22:42.060 --> 22:41.790 task , but we have to make sure that 22:41.790 --> 22:44.660 the ready to do it okay , and then , as 22:44.660 --> 22:47.010 Faras is changing missions , goes , 22:47.020 --> 22:49.187 here's a classic example of you know , 22:49.187 --> 22:51.409 this pandemic is a classic example of a 22:51.409 --> 22:53.631 changing mission . You know , we didn't 22:53.631 --> 22:55.576 know we were going to need to have 22:55.576 --> 22:57.576 medical professionals going out the 22:57.576 --> 22:59.687 door to support this . We didn't know 22:59.687 --> 22:59.520 that we were gonna have com support to 22:59.520 --> 23:01.950 do a virtual uta thes air . The things 23:01.950 --> 23:04.180 we need to , you know , that we need to 23:04.180 --> 23:06.347 look at on all that . We can't predict 23:06.347 --> 23:08.513 everything . We need to make sure that 23:08.513 --> 23:10.458 they are as trained as possible to 23:10.458 --> 23:12.569 support those changing missions . And 23:12.569 --> 23:14.680 we were I mean , we are deploy as got 23:14.680 --> 23:16.902 out the door to New York Arqam . People 23:16.902 --> 23:19.013 on r p a had the stuff ready and were 23:19.013 --> 23:21.347 able to flex into this . We could do it . 23:21.347 --> 23:23.460 We will do it . There's a priority 23:23.460 --> 23:26.150 three , uh , caring for Airman . 23:27.100 --> 23:29.950 Oh , coin and me . It said eight 23:29.950 --> 23:32.172 o'clock in the morning . And if I don't 23:32.172 --> 23:34.228 have a coin , would you got to get a 23:34.228 --> 23:37.110 drink ? Alcohol ? Sure . No , 23:38.300 --> 23:41.520 I don't . Do you have anything ? I'll 23:41.520 --> 23:43.520 have anything to give . You mean to 23:43.520 --> 23:47.440 tell me more later ? All right . 23:49.540 --> 23:52.250 Well , there's alcohol . Oh , that is 23:52.250 --> 23:54.472 alcohol . That is alcohol . All right . 23:58.340 --> 24:01.330 Thanks . not drink . 24:02.040 --> 24:05.780 Okay , So party three caring for airmen 24:05.780 --> 24:08.360 and their families . So we've got we're 24:08.360 --> 24:10.527 gonna do that with two goals in mind . 24:10.527 --> 24:12.700 Improving that travel pay process . 24:12.760 --> 24:15.730 Goal number one . So Oh , boy , do we 24:15.730 --> 24:17.952 know how painful that that is ? Right ? 24:17.952 --> 24:21.050 Uh and believe me , it doesn't that 24:21.060 --> 24:23.890 that that does not discriminate . 24:24.010 --> 24:26.040 Travel , pay process . He feels the 24:26.040 --> 24:28.096 pain just as much as I feel the pain 24:28.096 --> 24:30.480 and and all of you all do . So it's not 24:30.480 --> 24:32.647 lost on us . We are gonna work towards 24:32.647 --> 24:34.480 it , bear in mind to manage your 24:34.480 --> 24:36.536 expectations that a lot of those are 24:36.536 --> 24:39.990 big , bigger programs than then we can 24:40.000 --> 24:43.400 adjust or or manipulated at the wing 24:43.400 --> 24:45.567 level . So we're going to work at it . 24:45.567 --> 24:47.400 We're gonna do the best we can t 24:47.400 --> 24:50.500 improve that goal number to improve all 24:50.500 --> 24:52.910 communications and foster trust . So 24:52.920 --> 24:55.142 communications very big , especially in 24:55.142 --> 24:57.630 this this day and age is something that 24:57.640 --> 25:00.120 early in my tenure I , 25:01.520 --> 25:04.680 uh , quickly assess that the messages 25:04.680 --> 25:06.624 at at this level of the leadership 25:06.624 --> 25:08.950 level of the wing don't always get down 25:08.950 --> 25:11.006 to the front line airman and all the 25:11.006 --> 25:14.750 all the all out there . So I have been 25:15.090 --> 25:17.720 doing my homer doing my research and 25:17.730 --> 25:21.500 putting in timeto to implement to 25:21.500 --> 25:23.333 identify and implement some some 25:23.333 --> 25:25.333 communications methods where we can 25:25.333 --> 25:29.120 better improve your your lives on get 25:29.120 --> 25:32.020 you the information you need timely on 25:32.020 --> 25:35.600 succinctly . So this is a good example 25:35.600 --> 25:37.656 of that . We're here on zoom . We're 25:37.656 --> 25:39.950 all getting together and , uh , and 25:39.960 --> 25:43.000 sharing information . So this this will 25:43.000 --> 25:45.222 be one of those . Those methods will be 25:45.222 --> 25:47.850 a number of methods that will will be 25:47.980 --> 25:50.730 putting out in the future here to 25:50.740 --> 25:53.310 better improve communication and not 25:53.310 --> 25:55.421 rely on email . You guys coming in on 25:55.421 --> 25:57.643 the weekends to check your email to get 25:57.643 --> 25:59.699 to get all the information ? Not not 25:59.699 --> 26:01.977 one of my face . Don't touch your face . 26:03.240 --> 26:06.160 All right . So Priority four , uh , 26:06.920 --> 26:09.087 developing Airman leadership skills at 26:09.087 --> 26:11.940 all levels . So again , two goals in 26:11.940 --> 26:14.260 line with this one do a dirt mentoring . 26:15.040 --> 26:18.990 So we had yesterday a bold 26:18.990 --> 26:21.212 event . Virtual bulletin , first ever . 26:21.212 --> 26:23.268 I mean , there was , like , 300 plus 26:23.268 --> 26:25.323 participants in that very successful 26:25.323 --> 26:27.601 largest bowl event we've ever had . Uh , 26:27.601 --> 26:29.823 it's pretty cool . With virtually UTA . 26:29.823 --> 26:32.580 All the records were breaking . That's 26:32.590 --> 26:35.840 one of them . So we're gonna continue 26:35.840 --> 26:37.784 with bold . There is another event 26:37.784 --> 26:39.784 planned in July . I believe there's 26:39.784 --> 26:43.190 some plans tohave interviewing . And 26:44.180 --> 26:47.370 Oh , I'm not I'm not Donald ducking , 26:47.370 --> 26:50.110 sir , I've got pants on . I would stand 26:50.110 --> 26:53.450 up , but I've got a That's not nice . 26:56.640 --> 27:00.350 Hurt ? No . So , uh , 27:01.280 --> 27:04.830 so deliver development back to it . We 27:04.840 --> 27:08.470 We are , uh I believe already making 27:08.470 --> 27:11.610 pace with with that and 27:12.130 --> 27:14.408 And we're going to continue , you know , 27:14.408 --> 27:16.740 increasing our stride and doing better 27:16.750 --> 27:18.750 with development . So we've had our 27:18.750 --> 27:20.861 inaugural officers development course 27:20.861 --> 27:22.750 that will continue . Will doom or 27:22.750 --> 27:24.750 officers development again with the 27:24.750 --> 27:26.972 bold we're going to do in bold . I plan 27:26.972 --> 27:29.194 on developing a superintendent's course 27:29.194 --> 27:32.640 and also interested in feedback from 27:32.640 --> 27:35.240 you all on areas that weaken that we 27:35.240 --> 27:37.990 can improve or go to better develop , 27:37.990 --> 27:40.480 so really want toe toe plugging with 27:40.480 --> 27:42.860 you all , and , uh , and so use these 27:42.870 --> 27:45.100 thes links and things that we're 27:45.100 --> 27:47.211 putting out there to communicate with 27:47.211 --> 27:49.156 us and tell us what we could do it 27:49.156 --> 27:51.433 improve stratification of our officers . 27:51.433 --> 27:55.140 0405 Our plan is toe by the January UTA 27:55.140 --> 27:57.418 every year have stratification is done . 27:57.418 --> 28:00.820 So we do not delay or hold up that PR 28:00.820 --> 28:03.910 process . Same thing with the e seven e 28:03.910 --> 28:05.688 eight static , close outsourced 28:05.688 --> 28:07.930 ratifications . Having those straps 28:07.930 --> 28:10.950 done prior to the Scots so that 28:11.570 --> 28:13.681 APRs aren't aren't late are held up . 28:15.330 --> 28:17.590 Uh , second goal . Promoting a culture 28:17.590 --> 28:20.300 of empowerment and respect . So using 28:20.300 --> 28:23.350 things like the detox to to make 28:23.360 --> 28:25.800 adjustments to understand what ? What 28:25.800 --> 28:27.910 pains you make adjustments and and 28:27.910 --> 28:30.870 improve . Another thing that I've just 28:30.870 --> 28:33.037 recently done is I've created a link . 28:33.200 --> 28:36.130 Uh , I've created a virtual suggestion 28:36.130 --> 28:38.241 box . And what that will be is a link 28:38.241 --> 28:40.440 that you you guys can go to and 28:40.520 --> 28:42.464 communicate directly to me . Those 28:42.464 --> 28:44.631 those come to me , they're anonymous , 28:44.631 --> 28:46.631 so you don't have to have your name 28:46.631 --> 28:48.909 behind them . I don't know who you are , 28:48.909 --> 28:51.020 but I at least get the feedback . And 28:51.020 --> 28:53.242 I'm very interested in hearing from you 28:53.242 --> 28:55.910 also . That link will come out in with 28:55.910 --> 28:58.132 it by the June u T . I promise you that 28:58.132 --> 29:00.243 that I will have that link out by the 29:00.243 --> 29:02.410 June uta and I want to hear from you . 29:02.410 --> 29:04.577 And I think we just got it . Notice we 29:04.577 --> 29:06.590 got to Yemen over 200 on Facebook . 29:06.600 --> 29:08.322 Yeah . Much smaller group than 29:08.322 --> 29:10.656 yesterday . Smaller audience , a little . 29:10.656 --> 29:12.433 That's fine . But their quality 29:12.433 --> 29:14.711 intimate . It's quality , not quantity . 29:14.711 --> 29:16.600 Yeah , we could maybe move to the 29:16.600 --> 29:18.711 fireplace . You know , sit by you sit 29:18.711 --> 29:22.030 by the fire under six feet . I just 29:22.040 --> 29:24.262 know I sit next to him and kill all the 29:24.262 --> 29:27.000 fun . Yeah . Okay . Who are you to you ? 29:27.000 --> 29:29.300 Not me . All right , Now we're gonna 29:29.490 --> 29:31.712 wanna move into something lighter if we 29:31.712 --> 29:33.879 could get if we get you break all this 29:33.879 --> 29:35.768 tension now , move into something 29:35.768 --> 29:37.879 lighter , sir . Okay , mustache marks 29:37.879 --> 29:39.940 all kicking off . Now I want todo 29:39.950 --> 29:42.117 emotions . I'm sorry . I just analysts 29:42.117 --> 29:44.740 is just like the cattle bag . Okay , 29:44.740 --> 29:46.962 Officer enlisted . Probably want to get 29:46.962 --> 29:49.073 away from me , don't you ? Do you try 29:49.073 --> 29:52.990 to get out here ? I'm okay . Um 29:53.090 --> 29:55.312 all right , so we got through the staff 29:55.312 --> 29:57.423 this , you know , Let's go to the fun 29:57.423 --> 29:59.534 stuff . Okay . Let me say thank you . 29:59.534 --> 30:02.250 First and foremost to our medical dip 30:02.250 --> 30:04.417 lawyers that we have you at the door . 30:04.417 --> 30:06.528 This happened really quickly . We had 30:06.830 --> 30:09.400 had more volunteers than we had spots 30:09.400 --> 30:12.300 for which is truly amazing . We were 30:12.310 --> 30:15.730 all of our our LRs , our mission 30:15.730 --> 30:17.897 support group are Medgar work together 30:17.897 --> 30:20.008 to get them out the door and get them 30:20.008 --> 30:22.500 on to New York . They were working in 30:22.500 --> 30:25.390 all of in hospitals and wards and ers , 30:26.270 --> 30:28.620 working really long shifts and putting 30:28.620 --> 30:30.731 themselves smack dab in the middle of 30:30.731 --> 30:34.520 harm's way . I 30:34.520 --> 30:37.000 can't say thank you , not for that . Uh , 30:37.010 --> 30:39.177 there's just there's no possible way . 30:39.177 --> 30:41.177 So this is the best I can do to say 30:41.177 --> 30:43.399 from the bottom of my heart . Thank you 30:43.399 --> 30:45.454 for all that you did . Thank you for 30:45.454 --> 30:45.180 putting yourself at risk . Thank you 30:45.180 --> 30:47.390 for , you know , putting your families 30:47.390 --> 30:50.040 at risk . Thank you for stepping up and 30:50.040 --> 30:52.096 doing something that we haven't done 30:52.096 --> 30:54.207 before because typically , a domestic 30:54.207 --> 30:56.429 support like this would fall to the Air 30:56.429 --> 30:58.262 National Guard , but it's simply 30:58.262 --> 31:00.429 overwhelmed them . And they needed the 31:00.429 --> 31:02.651 reserves to step in . So we did it . We 31:02.651 --> 31:04.818 we killed it . So we've sent more than 31:04.818 --> 31:06.929 20 people out there . They worked all 31:06.929 --> 31:06.660 total . Those 20 people out there 31:06.660 --> 31:10.010 worked over 870 days . If you add it in 31:10.010 --> 31:13.950 aggregate and support . And in 31:13.960 --> 31:16.990 Africa , FRC has right now , as of two 31:16.990 --> 31:20.440 days ago had 902 airman deployed just 31:20.440 --> 31:22.420 to New York , the New York area in 31:22.420 --> 31:24.940 support of this . So reserve command 31:25.540 --> 31:27.540 leading the way . It's awesome . So 31:27.540 --> 31:29.651 thank you . If you see them when they 31:29.651 --> 31:31.830 come back , um , say thank you . Give 31:31.830 --> 31:33.990 him a six foot pat on the back . You 31:33.990 --> 31:37.560 know , um and just really thinking for 31:37.560 --> 31:40.860 what they did .

So send him a flannel shirt 38:20.670 --> 38:21.670 and act . 38:26.420 --> 38:28.531 Okay , so so must I Gotta get serious 38:28.531 --> 38:30.309 now for mustache marches do Mrs 38:30.309 --> 38:32.476 Business . So Okay , so , uh , this is 38:32.476 --> 38:34.620 my favorite event . And so I was 38:34.630 --> 38:36.850 excited to roll this out this year , 38:37.170 --> 38:39.930 and it really got derailed with with 38:39.930 --> 38:42.360 everything and and so the plan was to 38:42.360 --> 38:44.249 have you all here live in April , 38:44.630 --> 38:46.900 prayed you up . Those that wanted to be 38:46.900 --> 38:49.620 judged Craigie up in front of the the 38:49.630 --> 38:51.519 theater there , and we do a quick 38:51.519 --> 38:53.860 judging and and I and offer some , some , 38:54.160 --> 38:57.780 some some awards . So 38:59.180 --> 39:01.402 that's not happening . So we're doing a 39:01.402 --> 39:03.624 virtually and we did put together board 39:03.624 --> 39:07.330 and the board was legitimate . It had a 39:07.330 --> 39:11.170 president , and it had , uh it had 39:11.170 --> 39:13.190 oversight . They were both the same 39:13.190 --> 39:15.640 person , but yeah , you gotta let that 39:15.640 --> 39:19.150 out . So the boss judged It was only 39:19.150 --> 39:22.440 judged on on this right here , so he 39:22.450 --> 39:24.561 truly didn't know who the contestants 39:24.561 --> 39:26.980 were , and and we picked it so so to 39:26.980 --> 39:29.036 speak . So therefore , categories do 39:29.036 --> 39:31.520 the back story on it . That's right . 39:31.520 --> 39:34.010 Do the back story . Yeah , he's gonna 39:34.010 --> 39:36.232 get toe backstory . Here is I'm getting 39:36.232 --> 39:38.560 ahead of myself . I apologize , but and 39:38.560 --> 39:40.560 you go answer . Yeah . So for those 39:40.560 --> 39:42.616 either where mustache marches . It's 39:42.616 --> 39:44.930 been a kind of Air Force things since 39:44.940 --> 39:47.490 the Vietnam War . It started when then 39:47.490 --> 39:49.740 Colonel Robin Olds , he was a wing 39:49.740 --> 39:51.962 commander out employed into Vietnam and 39:51.962 --> 39:54.129 for a whole bunch of reasons . I'm not 39:54.129 --> 39:56.210 going to get into It was it was a It 39:56.210 --> 39:58.321 was a trying situation for our airman 39:58.321 --> 40:00.377 back then . They didn't have a whole 40:00.377 --> 40:02.432 lot of control over a situation that 40:02.432 --> 40:04.870 they it changed on a day to day basis 40:04.870 --> 40:06.926 on whether or not it was important . 40:06.926 --> 40:09.148 And so their little you know as much as 40:09.148 --> 40:11.481 they could do their protest was to grow . 40:11.481 --> 40:13.703 The mustache is out of regulations . So 40:14.010 --> 40:16.260 it really is a camaraderie in a support 40:16.260 --> 40:18.204 thing because Colonel holds . Then 40:18.204 --> 40:21.400 Colonel Holds decided that he was gonna 40:21.400 --> 40:23.511 buck the pressure from above to bring 40:23.511 --> 40:25.733 his airman in tow line . And instead he 40:25.733 --> 40:27.900 grew his mustache out of regulations . 40:27.900 --> 40:29.956 That seems like a very small thing . 40:29.956 --> 40:32.011 But in times of stress , some of the 40:32.011 --> 40:34.011 small things have big rewards . And 40:34.011 --> 40:36.178 that's really what it comes from . And 40:36.178 --> 40:38.289 I get it . I understand that only you 40:38.289 --> 40:40.178 know one side of our population . 40:40.178 --> 40:42.122 Congrats , mustache . And it's not 40:42.122 --> 40:44.289 meant to be exclusive .
