00:04.630 --> 00:06.690
Here at mcintyre , we serve as 150

00:06.699 --> 00:08.921
vehicle fleet , anything from passenger

00:08.921 --> 00:11.088
sized vehicles to heavy equipment like

00:11.088 --> 00:13.250
forklift , tractor trailers , fire

00:13.260 --> 00:15.640
trucks , fuel trucks , we're important

00:15.649 --> 00:17.538
to the mission because with those

00:17.538 --> 00:19.649
vehicles aren't running , we won't be

00:19.649 --> 00:21.816
able to support the mission and assist

00:21.816 --> 00:23.705
with getting the aircraft off the

00:23.705 --> 00:25.593
ground . So a typical day here at

00:25.593 --> 00:27.649
vehicle maintenance units will bring

00:27.649 --> 00:29.593
their vehicles here if you get oil

00:29.593 --> 00:31.649
changes or new tires or just regular

00:31.649 --> 00:33.904
service , if something pressing happens

00:33.915 --> 00:36.137
and our vehicle maintenance will switch

00:36.137 --> 00:38.014
from one job to the other . So

00:38.025 --> 00:40.345
sometimes they just don't work on one

00:40.354 --> 00:43.279
asset . So we have a mobile maintenance

00:43.290 --> 00:46.009
vehicle , they'll respond to different

00:46.020 --> 00:48.187
shops in the base when they have needs

00:48.187 --> 00:50.298
if they come on out and their vehicle

00:50.298 --> 00:52.242
doesn't start . Mobile maintenance

00:52.242 --> 00:54.409
vehicle will go on up there and assist

00:54.409 --> 00:56.576
and get the vehicle running if we have

00:56.576 --> 00:58.798
a vehicle that gets stranded out on the

00:58.798 --> 01:00.798
runway or the taxi way that becomes

01:00.798 --> 01:02.853
priority to get it out of the way in

01:02.853 --> 01:05.020
case our jets need to take off . So we

01:05.020 --> 01:06.798
have four international tractor

01:06.798 --> 01:08.798
trailers here . Those are a premier

01:08.798 --> 01:11.020
fleet of tractor trailers in the area .

01:11.020 --> 01:13.187
They're 13 speed . So they're manual ,

01:13.187 --> 01:15.242
a lot of your air force bases . They

01:15.242 --> 01:17.298
have the automatics . So other units

01:17.298 --> 01:19.298
will come here train on our vehicle

01:19.298 --> 01:21.370
fleets before a deployment . I just

01:21.379 --> 01:23.435
think it's a great opportunity for a

01:23.435 --> 01:25.379
new airman coming into the vehicle

01:25.379 --> 01:27.490
mechanics career field . Because when

01:27.490 --> 01:29.601
they get here , they can go ahead and

01:29.601 --> 01:31.435
learn a whole bunch of different

01:31.435 --> 01:33.657
certifications . They can get certified

01:33.657 --> 01:35.379
as a tractor trailer driver or

01:35.379 --> 01:36.935
specialized equipment for a

01:36.935 --> 01:38.768
construction site . They can get

01:38.768 --> 01:40.919
certified in operating forklifts ,

01:40.930 --> 01:43.919
repairing and driving fuel trucks and

01:43.930 --> 01:45.819
fire trucks . So they can receive

01:45.819 --> 01:48.041
certifications within this career field

01:48.041 --> 01:50.720
and use those certifications to better

01:50.730 --> 01:52.860
themselves in the civilian world .
