00:00.140 --> 00:02.084
The most important thing for an 80

00:02.084 --> 00:04.196
technician is their ingenuity because

00:04.196 --> 00:06.084
they're going to be thrust into a

00:06.084 --> 00:08.196
situation where they have very little

00:08.196 --> 00:07.610
information , they're going to have to

00:07.610 --> 00:10.130
make a determination as to how to solve

00:10.130 --> 00:12.241
that problem . The hardest part of my

00:12.241 --> 00:14.463
job is cutting through the bureaucratic

00:14.463 --> 00:16.710
processes , which the chief of staff is

00:16.720 --> 00:18.942
directly addressed . But while a lot of

00:18.942 --> 00:20.664
people would look at that as a

00:20.664 --> 00:23.120
limitation and an obstruction , I'm

00:23.120 --> 00:25.530
encouraging our air meant to find ways

00:25.540 --> 00:28.620
around those obstructions . So the

00:28.620 --> 00:32.530
heads up display is a byproduct of

00:32.530 --> 00:34.586
that . So they gave us a hard to try

00:34.586 --> 00:37.230
out for anywhere between three and six

00:37.230 --> 00:39.286
weeks . They said we could keep it ,

00:39.286 --> 00:41.452
it's the prototype . So they're trying

00:41.452 --> 00:43.341
to find out things wrong with the

00:43.341 --> 00:45.397
things that they can improve on . So

00:45.397 --> 00:47.563
after we give them feedback and filled

00:47.563 --> 00:49.619
out some surveys and kind of test it

00:49.619 --> 00:48.980
out and we teach everyone in the shop

00:48.980 --> 00:51.100
how to use it , then we'll give them

00:51.100 --> 00:53.100
that feedback and hopefully they'll

00:53.100 --> 00:55.100
improve on the hud and then make it

00:55.100 --> 00:57.100
better . The capabilities that they

00:57.100 --> 00:59.267
were telling about . It sounded really

00:59.267 --> 00:58.730
cool . Some of the things that they

00:58.730 --> 01:00.674
were saying , I could do was , you

01:00.674 --> 01:02.841
could go down range , you could take a

01:02.841 --> 01:05.008
video or take a picture of the item in

01:05.008 --> 01:07.008
question and then you could send it

01:07.008 --> 01:09.063
back up range to your team members .

01:09.063 --> 01:11.230
They could then process that X ray and

01:11.230 --> 01:13.341
then send it back to you on the hud .

01:13.341 --> 01:15.397
So the heads of display or your team

01:15.397 --> 01:17.508
members can send you a simple message

01:17.508 --> 01:19.397
like , hey commanders here , uh ,

01:19.397 --> 01:21.452
commanders on scene and just to keep

01:21.452 --> 01:23.619
you aware and keep you in the loop and

01:23.619 --> 01:23.370
so you know what's going on and so that

01:23.370 --> 01:25.426
you can communicate better with your

01:25.426 --> 01:27.648
team members . Innovation continues . I

01:27.648 --> 01:29.759
could go on and on and on about ideas

01:29.759 --> 01:32.030
that I have , whether it's robotics or

01:32.040 --> 01:34.970
setting up a different type of complex

01:34.980 --> 01:38.380
on our range to facilitate things like

01:38.390 --> 01:41.760
breaching techniques and shoot , move

01:41.760 --> 01:45.370
and communicate training efforts . But

01:45.370 --> 01:47.370
at the end of the day , it's simply

01:47.370 --> 01:49.920
having conversations and whatever topic

01:49.930 --> 01:53.120
is the topic of discussion . Because if

01:53.120 --> 01:55.360
you get your airmen talking and they're

01:55.360 --> 01:57.580
able to communicate to you , they're

01:57.580 --> 01:59.802
gonna find answers and they're going to

01:59.802 --> 02:03.350
come up with solutions to than the next

02:03.350 --> 02:05.350
problem that you encounter wherever

02:05.350 --> 02:07.950
that is , whether it's here on base or

02:07.950 --> 02:08.660
overseas .
