00:04.240 --> 00:06.184
our squadrons mission here . We're

00:06.184 --> 00:08.351
actually a detachment from the rest of

00:08.351 --> 00:10.573
our squadron and we're conducting agile

00:10.573 --> 00:12.851
combat employment across the EU are uh ,

00:12.851 --> 00:15.073
we're doing this so that we can support

00:15.073 --> 00:14.990
the C facts intent throughout the A . O .

00:14.990 --> 00:17.590
And project air power throughout the A .

00:17.590 --> 00:19.970
O . And just put on display to our

00:19.970 --> 00:21.770
partners and our allies , our

00:21.780 --> 00:24.270
capability to pick up and move with a

00:24.270 --> 00:28.090
smaller contingent . I

00:28.090 --> 00:30.257
didn't know I want to be a pilot until

00:30.257 --> 00:31.979
uh pretty much I put in my job

00:31.979 --> 00:33.979
preferences for the Air Force . And

00:33.979 --> 00:36.090
then once I started flying , that was

00:36.090 --> 00:38.034
the moment I knew I wanted to be a

00:38.034 --> 00:39.868
fighter pilot . There's a lot of

00:39.868 --> 00:42.034
training sorties in grade sheets along

00:42.034 --> 00:44.257
the way , but it was all worth it . And

00:44.257 --> 00:46.312
just getting to enjoy the craft that

00:46.312 --> 00:48.090
you finally have reached . It's

00:48.090 --> 00:50.312
something that you want to do . It just

00:50.312 --> 00:52.534
takes a lot of hard work and dedication

00:52.534 --> 00:54.590
and really the sky is the limit with

00:54.590 --> 00:58.220
who can find themselves here . There

00:58.220 --> 01:00.331
are a lot more people rooting for you

01:00.331 --> 01:02.498
than you anticipate . The Air Force is

01:02.498 --> 01:04.553
making a huge push to make it easier

01:04.553 --> 01:07.920
for women to fly . This community is

01:07.930 --> 01:10.041
really special in the fact that we go

01:10.041 --> 01:12.208
through unique challenges together and

01:12.208 --> 01:14.041
we all support one another to an

01:14.041 --> 01:16.770
extreme amount . So it really , it

01:16.770 --> 01:18.714
doesn't feel like a huge sacrifice

01:18.714 --> 01:20.548
because we get to show up and do

01:20.548 --> 01:22.230
something that we love every day okay .
