WEBVTT 00:05.920 --> 00:08.087 Captain Tim James call Sign Rook , the 00:08.087 --> 00:10.090 commanding officer of Knots and NSA 00:10.279 --> 00:12.501 Orlando , my experience at KTD has been 00:12.501 --> 00:14.501 great . Matter of fact , this is my 00:14.501 --> 00:16.612 second time back . I competed to come 00:16.612 --> 00:18.668 back to the job because I had such a 00:18.668 --> 00:18.319 great time . The first time I was here , 00:18.489 --> 00:20.600 I really appreciated working with the 00:20.600 --> 00:22.545 team . Our mission putting out the 00:22.545 --> 00:24.899 products for war fighters has been one 00:24.909 --> 00:26.909 of the highlights of my career . My 00:26.909 --> 00:29.131 goals as a commanding officer of KD are 00:29.131 --> 00:31.298 really to work on tweaking the culture 00:31.298 --> 00:33.520 and the way we operate , we have a very 00:33.520 --> 00:35.631 solid foundation in the technical and 00:35.631 --> 00:37.853 the way we've done things over the past 00:37.853 --> 00:39.965 few decades . But with the changes in 00:39.965 --> 00:41.687 technology and our adversaries 00:41.687 --> 00:44.450 increasing work in the same sectors 00:44.459 --> 00:46.570 that we are . We really got to change 00:46.570 --> 00:48.459 the way we do things increase our 00:48.459 --> 00:50.403 iteration speed , get products and 00:50.403 --> 00:50.119 services out the war fighter , faster 00:50.130 --> 00:52.130 pushing authority down to where the 00:52.130 --> 00:54.186 information is , rather than pulling 00:54.186 --> 00:56.463 decisions up to where the authority is . 00:56.463 --> 00:58.686 I'm really looking to train and empower 00:58.686 --> 01:00.630 the execution level of not and get 01:00.630 --> 01:02.574 those decisions right there at the 01:02.574 --> 01:04.686 cutting edge where the war fighter is 01:04.686 --> 01:06.630 to support their operations and as 01:06.630 --> 01:08.741 close to real time as possible . I've 01:08.741 --> 01:10.630 had a very diverse career between 01:10.630 --> 01:12.630 working operational , working up at 01:12.630 --> 01:14.963 headquarters in Nava , working at SOCOM , 01:14.963 --> 01:17.130 working here at nocs before I've got a 01:17.130 --> 01:19.297 tremendous breadth of experience . One 01:19.297 --> 01:21.130 of the benefits of having worked 01:21.130 --> 01:23.599 outside of nod and NA is just seeing 01:23.610 --> 01:25.888 the other ways that things can be done . 01:25.910 --> 01:28.599 And with a heavy amount of new faces 01:28.610 --> 01:30.832 we've had in the last couple of years , 01:30.832 --> 01:32.943 the advantage that comes with that is 01:32.943 --> 01:35.110 they bring new ideas , new exposure to 01:35.110 --> 01:37.559 technology , non constrained thinking 01:37.569 --> 01:39.736 into the environment . And you combine 01:39.736 --> 01:41.958 that with the folks that have been here 01:41.958 --> 01:44.125 for a while and know things that we've 01:44.125 --> 01:44.089 tried in the past ways that didn't work , 01:44.099 --> 01:45.877 put those two types of thinking 01:45.877 --> 01:47.932 together , we can come up with a new 01:47.932 --> 01:49.988 way with a greater chance of success 01:50.250 --> 01:53.459 but is not constrained by that . We've 01:53.470 --> 01:55.359 always done it this way . Kind of 01:55.359 --> 01:57.581 thinking . My message to the SD team is 01:57.581 --> 01:59.748 that we've got their back . We need to 01:59.748 --> 02:01.970 take a little bit more risk in the aria 02:01.970 --> 02:03.914 of our jobs so that we can get the 02:03.914 --> 02:06.137 operational impact of the war fighter , 02:06.137 --> 02:06.019 faster iteration speed is going to be 02:06.029 --> 02:08.029 the key to the future . Our budgets 02:08.160 --> 02:09.993 aren't going to continually grow 02:09.993 --> 02:12.104 exponentially . So we can't just keep 02:12.104 --> 02:14.271 throwing resources at problems . We've 02:14.271 --> 02:16.604 got to look at doing things differently . 02:16.604 --> 02:18.771 My name is Rob Bets . I am the captain 02:18.771 --> 02:20.993 of the United States Navy . I work here 02:20.993 --> 02:20.669 at the Naval Air Warfare Center 02:20.679 --> 02:22.457 Training System Division as the 02:22.457 --> 02:24.235 executive officer . So far . My 02:24.235 --> 02:26.401 experience at TD has been incredible . 02:26.401 --> 02:28.623 I've already been here for four years . 02:28.623 --> 02:28.600 I was fortunate enough to get selected 02:28.610 --> 02:30.690 to do follow on orders as both the 02:30.699 --> 02:32.421 executive officer and then the 02:32.421 --> 02:34.588 commanding officer . So I will be here 02:34.588 --> 02:36.755 for another four years for eight years 02:36.755 --> 02:38.977 total , the end of my career , which is 02:38.977 --> 02:41.143 amazing . I can't tell you how excited 02:41.143 --> 02:40.949 my family and I are for that 02:40.960 --> 02:42.960 opportunity , moving into the front 02:42.960 --> 02:44.682 office and on to the executive 02:44.682 --> 02:46.793 leadership team . I'm looking forward 02:46.793 --> 02:46.309 to working more with the department 02:46.320 --> 02:48.320 heads and the program directors and 02:48.320 --> 02:50.600 really kind of helping to drive the 02:50.610 --> 02:53.029 organization towards that goal and that 02:53.039 --> 02:55.095 vision statement of accelerating war 02:55.095 --> 02:56.928 fight readiness through training 02:56.928 --> 02:58.839 solutions . We must focus more on 02:58.850 --> 03:01.630 taking risk , taking smart risk to get 03:01.639 --> 03:03.528 training systems out to the field 03:03.528 --> 03:05.472 faster . We are producing training 03:05.472 --> 03:07.940 systems . We need to go faster . In 03:07.949 --> 03:10.116 order to go faster , we need to accept 03:10.116 --> 03:12.171 risk . We need to do things that are 03:12.171 --> 03:14.440 hard but hard is authorized . We are 03:14.449 --> 03:16.393 authorized to do the hard things , 03:16.393 --> 03:18.227 right ? Because our war fighters 03:18.227 --> 03:20.393 deserve it . I'm more of a bulldozer , 03:20.393 --> 03:22.560 right ? Hey , you guys have barriers . 03:22.560 --> 03:22.559 Come tell me it's my job to get 03:22.570 --> 03:24.737 barriers out of your way . It's my job 03:24.737 --> 03:26.626 to make your lives easier . But I 03:26.626 --> 03:28.403 consider myself one of the most 03:28.403 --> 03:27.850 fortunate people in the world to 03:27.860 --> 03:29.860 actually get to stay here for eight 03:29.860 --> 03:31.971 years because it's something I'm very 03:31.971 --> 03:34.304 passionate about and now I get to do it . 03:34.304 --> 03:33.940 And so coming to work every day is kind 03:33.949 --> 03:34.250 of fun .
