He was the deputy 08:07.150 --> 08:09.850 director of the J six uh Joint Force 08:09.850 --> 08:12.760 headquarters . So he spent some time on 08:12.760 --> 08:14.770 staff at the , at the headquarters 08:14.770 --> 08:18.620 level until 2017 when he transferred to 08:18.630 --> 08:22.420 the to 30 seconds base com squadron as 08:22.430 --> 08:25.380 director of Cyber Obs .

It's 09:06.210 --> 09:08.970 been a long road to get here since 09:08.970 --> 09:12.710 hiring Stacy in October of 22 . 09:12.720 --> 09:15.270 It's been an uphill climb to get him on 09:15.270 --> 09:17.640 board . Uh , it's certainly one of the 09:17.640 --> 09:19.751 hardest things that I've actually had 09:19.751 --> 09:21.584 to do in my 20 years of being in 09:21.584 --> 09:24.960 personnel . Uh , most things you can 09:24.960 --> 09:27.390 get done with a few phone calls . Uh , 09:27.400 --> 09:29.550 not so much with this , this action . 09:29.770 --> 09:31.826 The Air Force Reserves certainly did 09:31.826 --> 09:34.570 not want to , uh , take their claws out 09:34.570 --> 09:38.080 of Lieutenant colonel . So it was very 09:38.090 --> 09:41.300 difficult to get accomplished . Um 09:42.500 --> 09:44.870 I know the effort spent to get , get 09:44.870 --> 09:47.380 them on board will be well worth it . 09:47.390 --> 09:50.910 Um You come uh to a high performing 09:50.910 --> 09:54.210 unit that over the past three years , 09:54.220 --> 09:56.660 even with the pandemic has managed the 09:56.660 --> 10:00.450 monumental accomplishments .

Uh One 31st MSG has 10:58.150 --> 11:01.290 done for ad con . Uh So they did that 11:01.300 --> 11:05.040 with 2 54 combat group uh 11:05.050 --> 11:08.810 exercise bamboo uh and a large 11:08.810 --> 11:10.977 contingent . Actually , when they went 11:10.977 --> 11:13.088 on , that actually caught COVID had , 11:13.088 --> 11:16.290 had to come home early from that .

I think 14:12.920 --> 14:16.730 Jenny . Um We have work to do in our 14:16.730 --> 14:17.730 next 14:21.920 --> 14:24.100 As for the warriors to 39 Combat 14:24.100 --> 14:26.770 Communications Squadron . I fear you 14:26.770 --> 14:28.881 might have come to the ceremony today 14:28.881 --> 14:31.103 expecting that I'll submit to the short 14:31.103 --> 14:33.250 vanilla military speech protocol 14:33.250 --> 14:35.306 recommends for incoming commanders . 14:36.060 --> 14:39.700 I'll meet you halfway refund due , but 14:39.710 --> 14:43.540 forgive me for not being today . You 14:43.540 --> 14:45.960 see dot com is near and dear to my 14:45.960 --> 14:48.071 heart . I was fortunate to commission 14:48.071 --> 14:50.127 into it has given the opportunity to 14:50.127 --> 14:53.460 get literally from the get go . And 14:53.460 --> 14:55.682 there was a fire because I learned from 14:55.682 --> 14:58.290 the thickest skin senior N C O s in the 14:58.290 --> 15:00.401 combat con community and it was often 15:00.401 --> 15:02.980 about filter . Let's just say it might 15:02.980 --> 15:06.150 have hurt this healthy feelings . So 15:06.160 --> 15:08.960 they , they ensured that I built the 15:08.960 --> 15:12.750 toughness applied the grit and there's 15:12.760 --> 15:15.000 my scars . They're the ones who 15:15.010 --> 15:17.310 bequeathed to me . The used to say 15:17.840 --> 15:20.910 those hardened senior N C O s , many of 15:20.910 --> 15:23.420 them retired for which I honor you set 15:23.420 --> 15:25.587 me up for success . And the debt I owe 15:25.587 --> 15:27.740 to them is to pass their rugged 15:27.750 --> 15:30.660 expeditionary spirit and savvy on the 15:30.670 --> 15:32.837 youth that spirit I speak of should be 15:32.837 --> 15:35.420 the coming of age ritual . Every airman 15:35.420 --> 15:38.120 needs to get a taste of but fewer solar . 15:39.060 --> 15:41.116 It's the toughest game from the hard 15:41.116 --> 15:43.116 knocks and the chip on our shoulder 15:43.116 --> 15:45.227 attitude . We bring them a field into 15:45.227 --> 15:48.120 the work light . It's the sweater , the 15:48.120 --> 15:51.520 temerity , the nerve is that you want 15:51.520 --> 15:55.040 to dance well , dance superiority . 15:55.830 --> 15:58.610 It's spending two weeks 80 in the yard 15:58.610 --> 16:01.280 ensuring critical calms . Mock your 16:01.280 --> 16:03.730 normal is the numerous deployments . 16:03.730 --> 16:05.952 That's how we clean up in the air force 16:05.952 --> 16:08.720 service dress to break grade on our 16:08.730 --> 16:12.730 comrades on are falling is to 16:12.730 --> 16:16.490 work hard , play hard that hard , 16:16.500 --> 16:20.020 die hard every month . These are my 16:20.030 --> 16:22.440 people . I'm too lucky to the internet 16:22.450 --> 16:25.770 commander . You get the picture . 16:26.590 --> 16:29.250 Now , get my point comment .

Although you're fine example 16:45.930 --> 16:48.041 should be attempted for the Air Force 16:48.041 --> 16:50.580 enterprise . Here's what's on my mind . 16:51.260 --> 16:54.160 This is what keeps me up at night . Can 16:54.160 --> 16:56.650 we win that inevitable ? Next fight ? 16:56.660 --> 16:59.660 Are we the combat commerce that I just 17:00.010 --> 17:02.288 have to be prepared for the next fight ? 17:02.290 --> 17:04.470 Can we go toe to toe with the enemy ? 17:06.090 --> 17:08.257 We have a few adversaries out there to 17:08.257 --> 17:10.479 get the upper hand and I'm sure they're 17:10.479 --> 17:12.312 warrior ethos is a packaging and 17:12.312 --> 17:14.479 inconvenient to our CBT with knowledge 17:14.479 --> 17:18.030 checks . And No , they , the bad 17:18.040 --> 17:20.220 guys are standing ready without the 17:20.220 --> 17:22.720 worry of uploading receipts in the GTs 17:22.730 --> 17:24.600 four star health basement . 17:25.400 --> 17:29.140 They are ready to fight are we ? 17:30.060 --> 17:32.430 We're ready to answer our nation's call . 17:32.440 --> 17:35.120 It will be the sweat equity that we put 17:35.120 --> 17:38.310 into this mission and to each other 17:38.320 --> 17:40.376 will determine that answer . Not the 17:40.376 --> 17:42.542 box checking , not the administrator . 17:44.120 --> 17:47.110 We are in the business of war .
