00:00.440 --> 00:02.640
Airmen from the 1 34th Force Support

00:02.640 --> 00:05.140
Squadron recently traveled to Anchorage

00:05.140 --> 00:07.362
Alaska for their annual training days .

00:08.040 --> 00:10.262
These training days are used to develop

00:10.262 --> 00:12.484
airmen to be more prepared for not only

00:12.484 --> 00:14.310
their job at home base but also

00:14.310 --> 00:16.421
deployments . We have three different

00:16.421 --> 00:18.477
flights here . We have the personnel

00:18.477 --> 00:20.699
flight , the Force Development Office ,

00:20.699 --> 00:22.921
which is education and training and the

00:22.921 --> 00:25.143
services sustainment flight . This trip

00:25.143 --> 00:27.150
is very important really for

00:27.150 --> 00:30.290
camaraderie and also to get away from

00:30.290 --> 00:33.040
the daily grind of drill weekends of

00:33.040 --> 00:35.151
annual field training at home station

00:35.151 --> 00:37.262
because our folks need to peel out of

00:37.262 --> 00:39.318
the office so that they can focus on

00:39.318 --> 00:41.540
getting trained themselves so that they

00:41.540 --> 00:43.373
can provide exceptional customer

00:43.373 --> 00:45.262
support to all the members of our

00:45.262 --> 00:47.530
installation . And then socially we

00:47.530 --> 00:49.641
don't get a lot of time to interact .

00:49.641 --> 00:52.000
So it was just really great to spend so

00:52.000 --> 00:54.056
much time getting to know each other

00:54.450 --> 00:56.672
and I think that really helps as far as

00:56.672 --> 00:58.950
being better at our work as well .

01:00.980 --> 01:03.036
And it's really inspiring because of

01:03.036 --> 01:05.036
the young folks that we have in our

01:05.036 --> 01:06.813
squadron . We have a very young

01:06.813 --> 01:10.060
squadron . We just recruited 20 plus

01:10.590 --> 01:14.040
new airmen and to see them to see their

01:14.040 --> 01:16.151
energy to see what they're capable of

01:16.151 --> 01:18.262
and what they bring to the fight . Uh

01:18.262 --> 01:20.429
it's just really inspiring . Uh and it

01:20.429 --> 01:22.318
kind of gives you a little bit of

01:22.318 --> 01:24.373
energy as an old guy to , to step up

01:24.373 --> 01:26.540
and start doing more as well reporting

01:26.540 --> 01:28.707
from Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson .
