00:03.240 --> 00:07.130
Mhm . The 76 or skills challenge

00:07.140 --> 00:09.770
is an annual event um that we hold here

00:09.780 --> 00:11.947
and it emulates the port Dog challenge

00:11.947 --> 00:15.430
at the FRC holds every other year . Um

00:15.430 --> 00:17.720
And what it is is for two T two's , the

00:17.720 --> 00:19.831
FSc within the aerial port squadron .

00:19.831 --> 00:23.360
Um It allows us the opportunity to

00:23.940 --> 00:26.350
test the skills against each other . Um

00:26.350 --> 00:28.720
And so we break up into teams and we

00:28.720 --> 00:30.664
divide out the skill levels within

00:30.664 --> 00:32.553
those teams . We have team chiefs

00:32.553 --> 00:34.609
leading the crew , and typically the

00:34.609 --> 00:36.942
team chiefs are are mid level N . C . O .

00:36.942 --> 00:39.053
S . Um to give them the practice with

00:39.640 --> 00:43.010
the leadership . And so those folks are

00:43.010 --> 00:45.121
leading their teams through different

00:45.121 --> 00:47.990
events to include uh written exam , The

00:47.990 --> 00:50.260
Halverson of course , the forklift

00:50.260 --> 00:52.470
course , 10-K . Forklift , of course

00:52.480 --> 00:56.130
the cargo build up . Um and a couple

00:56.130 --> 00:58.600
others a pt challenge et cetera . Um

00:58.600 --> 01:00.940
And so those folks um work with their

01:00.940 --> 01:02.996
teens and they go through the events

01:02.996 --> 01:05.190
and at the end we score up the uh we

01:05.190 --> 01:07.470
add up their scores and we see you know

01:07.470 --> 01:10.340
what What the final score is and and

01:10.340 --> 01:12.650
who the final winner is . Um it's great

01:12.660 --> 01:15.680
to challenge our individuals to become

01:15.680 --> 01:19.020
better to D . two and to work together

01:19.020 --> 01:21.840
in a team um and to get to know each

01:21.840 --> 01:24.500
other a little more um cross pollinate

01:24.510 --> 01:27.300
I should say you know um work with

01:27.300 --> 01:29.411
people that maybe they don't normally

01:29.411 --> 01:32.290
work with . Um And finally just to

01:32.290 --> 01:34.800
build morale and camaraderie against

01:34.810 --> 01:37.480
across the squadron . So um the annual

01:37.480 --> 01:41.270
76 or a PS skills challenge has

01:41.270 --> 01:44.810
been like I said an annual event and

01:44.820 --> 01:46.820
unfortunately we're able to have it

01:46.820 --> 01:48.820
last year due to Covid but we're so

01:48.820 --> 01:50.931
excited to have it again this year um

01:50.931 --> 01:53.042
and hope to continue each year moving

01:53.042 --> 01:52.960
forward .

01:57.640 --> 01:57.840
Yeah .
