00:05.440 --> 00:09.020
many times when Mikey spouses are

00:09.020 --> 00:10.909
trying to get in contact with new

00:10.909 --> 00:13.020
individuals coming to the unit , they

00:13.020 --> 00:15.187
will have come to me and asked , hey ,

00:15.187 --> 00:17.298
I need an inbound roster for an alpha

00:17.298 --> 00:17.240
roster and using what limited

00:17.240 --> 00:19.296
information we have about a military

00:19.296 --> 00:22.260
member . They will go out to social

00:22.260 --> 00:24.482
media using their personal social media

00:24.482 --> 00:28.300
accounts and try to contact strangers

00:28.300 --> 00:30.411
and ask if their in bound to our unit

00:30.411 --> 00:32.633
to try and make contact . Furthermore ,

00:32.633 --> 00:36.370
if the families themselves are

00:36.370 --> 00:38.481
trying to get in contact with the key

00:38.481 --> 00:40.592
spouses , they also have to hope that

00:40.592 --> 00:44.390
the squadron has a facebook page or

00:44.390 --> 00:46.390
calling the Airman Family Readiness

00:46.390 --> 00:48.501
Center relying on military members to

00:48.501 --> 00:50.750
pass contact information along , which

00:50.750 --> 00:52.472
is not always 100% accurate or

00:52.472 --> 00:55.650
effective back to win the point with

00:56.040 --> 00:59.120
the key spouses using facebook more and

00:59.120 --> 01:01.120
more as we go into the future . The

01:01.120 --> 01:03.231
younger generations are not using the

01:03.231 --> 01:05.176
common social media that are older

01:05.176 --> 01:07.342
generations are using . It's harder to

01:07.342 --> 01:09.342
find the individuals and people not

01:09.342 --> 01:11.342
taking their spouse's names all the

01:11.342 --> 01:13.342
time . A lot of times we won't find

01:13.342 --> 01:15.453
those members and just in general are

01:15.453 --> 01:17.740
having them put themselves at a little

01:17.740 --> 01:20.480
bit of risk of harassment by using

01:20.480 --> 01:22.647
their personal social media to contact

01:22.647 --> 01:23.647
strangers . And

01:27.740 --> 01:29.810
so that its simplest , uh ,

01:29.820 --> 01:33.010
realistically just want a public facing

01:33.010 --> 01:36.100
website that anyone without a CAC or

01:36.100 --> 01:39.250
anything can get to where they can go

01:39.250 --> 01:42.290
to a base they're going to be pcs into

01:42.290 --> 01:44.450
or already are at and can filter down

01:44.450 --> 01:47.800
by unit to to contact a team , create a

01:47.800 --> 01:50.090
portal and pass information along to

01:50.090 --> 01:52.650
that team from that web page . Other

01:52.650 --> 01:54.761
features from there could build out .

01:54.761 --> 01:56.928
But at its simplest , I'm just looking

01:56.928 --> 01:59.094
for a way to filter down by basin unit

01:59.094 --> 02:01.261
the best example and the close example

02:01.261 --> 02:03.094
that I've given to people is the

02:03.094 --> 02:05.261
military childcare website where every

02:05.261 --> 02:07.261
every base in the D . O . D . Has a

02:07.261 --> 02:09.317
their child development center has a

02:09.317 --> 02:12.040
page and when you want to sign up for

02:12.040 --> 02:14.262
childcare they send you to that page no

02:14.262 --> 02:16.429
matter what and you get on the waiting

02:16.429 --> 02:18.429
list . That way in my head , what I

02:18.429 --> 02:20.484
really see this as being is a way to

02:20.484 --> 02:22.596
empower families to make contact with

02:22.596 --> 02:24.870
the key spouse team again without the

02:24.880 --> 02:27.250
military middleman . They don't need

02:27.250 --> 02:29.139
the shirt involved in facility in

02:29.139 --> 02:31.361
contact with the key spouse . If we can

02:31.361 --> 02:33.417
cut out as many steps as possible to

02:33.417 --> 02:35.639
make contact . I think that's a net win

02:35.639 --> 02:37.806
for the families and the Air Force and

02:37.806 --> 02:37.550
the key spouse team
