screen will be up for 10 seconds and

01:46.750 --> 01:48.750
it's the official QR code that will

01:48.750 --> 01:50.861
allow you easy navigation to the call

01:50.861 --> 01:53.083

01:55.195 --> 01:57.306
hover over the QR code . This is what

01:57.306 --> 01:59.361
it should look like with a clickable

01:59.361 --> 02:01.583
pop up bubble which I have outlined for

02:01.583 --> 02:03.583
you on screen , clicking on it will

02:03.583 --> 02:05.806
bring up this page and we're interested

02:05.806 --> 02:07.750
in the outline portion which reads

02:07.750 --> 02:09.917
quick fire observation submission . We

02:09.917 --> 02:09.660
want to click anywhere within the

02:09.669 --> 02:12.190
highlighted area to proceed from here .

02:12.199 --> 02:14.477
It will take you to the following form ,

02:14.477 --> 02:16.421
showing the quick fire observation

02:16.421 --> 02:18.532
submission heading today's date , the

02:18.532 --> 02:20.310
center for army lessons learned

02:20.310 --> 02:22.199
information motto and the easy to

02:22.199 --> 02:24.088
remember call URL . The start now

02:24.088 --> 02:26.310

02:26.310 --> 02:28.380
our entry . After clicking the start

02:28.389 --> 02:30.500
now button , the following page lists

02:30.500 --> 02:32.611
out best practices and business rules

02:32.611 --> 02:34.722
for your reference . We'll quickly go

02:34.722 --> 02:36.833
over them together with the first one

02:36.833 --> 02:38.889
asking to take the time to make sure

02:38.889 --> 02:40.889
your contact contact information is

02:40.889 --> 02:43.056
fully correct . Spell out all acronyms

02:43.056 --> 02:46.289
used for the first time , focus on the

02:46.300 --> 02:47.967
process when writing out your

02:47.967 --> 02:50.059
observations versus focusing on the

02:50.070 --> 02:53.570
personnel involved , try to identify

02:53.580 --> 02:55.802
the cause and effect relationship for a

02:55.802 --> 02:57.809
particular observation and try to

02:57.820 --> 03:00.490
determine the root cause . Use

03:00.500 --> 03:02.667
numerical data and statistics whenever

03:02.667 --> 03:05.289
possible . The use of political

03:05.300 --> 03:07.690
military , economic , social

03:07.699 --> 03:10.279
information infrastructure , physical

03:10.289 --> 03:12.456
environment and time analysis provides

03:12.460 --> 03:14.238
contextual understanding of the

03:14.238 --> 03:16.820
operational environment . I'll do a

03:16.830 --> 03:18.860
light scroll down through here . If

03:18.869 --> 03:20.647
you'd like to submit supporting

03:20.647 --> 03:22.813
documentation of any kind , please use

03:22.813 --> 03:24.980
the web based desktop version of quick

03:24.980 --> 03:26.536
fire to attach any relevant

03:26.536 --> 03:28.647
documentation from here . You can see

03:28.647 --> 03:30.869
the outline section here says no answer

03:30.869 --> 03:32.925
is required . There is a space which

03:32.925 --> 03:35.091
says enter your answer . Both of these

03:35.091 --> 03:37.258
do not need your attention to continue

03:37.258 --> 03:39.425
from here . You can click on the black

03:39.425 --> 03:41.660
bar . The next button to proceed on

03:41.669 --> 03:43.836
this page . All fields are required to

03:43.836 --> 03:45.891
be answered and it's asking for user

03:45.891 --> 03:47.891
information first . It's asking for

03:47.891 --> 03:49.947
your name and rank slash grade . The

03:49.947 --> 03:52.225
format they're asking for is last name ,

03:52.225 --> 03:54.280
then first name followed by rank and

03:54.280 --> 03:56.336
grade . So I'll enter my information

03:56.336 --> 03:58.558
here . Moving down to number three , it

03:58.558 --> 04:00.447
asks for an army dot mail , email

04:00.447 --> 04:02.613
address and um type mine out quickly .

04:04.750 --> 04:06.972
For number four , I'll fill in my title

04:06.972 --> 04:07.972
and position

04:12.169 --> 04:14.336
number five is asking for a submitting

04:14.336 --> 04:16.502
organization . So for me , it would be

04:16.502 --> 04:19.130
trade do a slight scroll down will show

04:19.140 --> 04:21.019
number six asking for the army

04:21.029 --> 04:23.140
component specific to the user . So I

04:23.140 --> 04:25.600
will click regular army . You can see

04:25.609 --> 04:27.776
on the bottom left that we are on page

04:27.776 --> 04:29.776
two of four for our submission from

04:29.776 --> 04:31.553
here . Click on the next bar to

04:31.553 --> 04:32.553
continue .

04:35.160 --> 04:37.327
After clicking next , it will bring up

04:37.327 --> 04:39.549
the next page which has questions seven

04:39.549 --> 04:41.771
through 12 covering observation entry .

04:41.771 --> 04:43.938
I will cover each one with you . Now ,

04:43.938 --> 04:46.049
starting with question number seven ,

04:46.049 --> 04:48.160
it asks for the event . I will choose

04:48.160 --> 04:51.320
CTC . For this example , scrolling down ,

04:51.329 --> 04:53.273
we can move down to number eight ,

04:53.273 --> 04:55.440
asking for an event description . I'll

04:55.440 --> 04:56.496
write it in here .

05:12.649 --> 05:14.871
Number nine , ask for the date observed

05:14.871 --> 05:16.927
and clicking the small calendar icon

05:16.927 --> 05:19.205
allows easy scrolling to find the date .

05:19.290 --> 05:21.568
I will be entering the date of May 3rd .

05:21.568 --> 05:22.568
For this part .

05:30.209 --> 05:32.450
Number 10 takes us to observation in

05:32.459 --> 05:34.403
the text which reads statements of

05:34.403 --> 05:36.626
perceived fact . The observation should

05:36.626 --> 05:38.792
summarize the bottom line and describe

05:38.792 --> 05:40.959
the accomplishment or shortcoming . It

05:40.959 --> 05:43.070
goes on to ask to describe the result

05:43.070 --> 05:45.181
or condition that was observed . I'll

05:45.181 --> 05:47.126
type in my observation here and if

05:47.126 --> 05:47.000
easier you can use the voice to text

05:47.010 --> 05:48.899
feature , which is the microphone

05:48.899 --> 05:50.899
symbol in the bottom right corner .

06:14.260 --> 06:15.260
OK ?

06:19.609 --> 06:21.609
And a light scroll down will reveal

06:21.609 --> 06:24.480
numbers 11 and 12 . Number 11 is the

06:24.489 --> 06:26.489
discussion section where it reads ,

06:26.519 --> 06:28.600
provide context and detail so that

06:28.609 --> 06:30.387
others may fully understand the

06:30.387 --> 06:32.609
observation . It asks to please include

06:32.609 --> 06:34.831
facts to explain the event the problems

06:34.831 --> 06:37.053
encountered in the related time frame .

06:37.053 --> 06:39.165
It continues by asking to discuss the

06:39.165 --> 06:41.387
actions taken which proved effective in

06:41.387 --> 06:43.609
improving capabilities or those actions

06:43.609 --> 06:45.776
which improved overcoming the obstacle

06:45.776 --> 06:47.998
faced . If the issue is unresolved , it

06:47.998 --> 06:49.887
asks to identify what problems or

06:49.887 --> 06:51.942
conditions remain and why a friendly

06:51.942 --> 06:54.053
reminder that you can always continue

06:54.053 --> 06:56.109
to use the voice to text feature for

06:56.109 --> 06:58.165
inputting any text as well . And I'm

06:58.165 --> 07:00.220
finishing my input here . As you can

07:00.220 --> 06:59.750
see

08:00.739 --> 08:02.850
after having completed the discussion

08:02.850 --> 08:04.850
section , scroll down to reveal the

08:04.850 --> 08:06.961
remaining number 12 . And this allows

08:06.961 --> 08:09.072
you to provide your recommendations .

08:09.072 --> 08:10.961
They have text which reads , this

08:10.961 --> 08:12.961
should address the problem and flow

08:12.961 --> 08:12.450
from the points raised in the

08:12.459 --> 08:14.792
discussion portion . You just completed .

08:14.792 --> 08:16.809
It asks to specify the action taken

08:16.820 --> 08:18.609
both short term and long term .

08:18.690 --> 08:21.079
Identify who by position or what

08:21.089 --> 08:23.145
activity should take the action . If

08:23.145 --> 08:25.145
this requires more investigation or

08:25.145 --> 08:27.256
study , it asks your suggestion of an

08:27.256 --> 08:28.940
office of primary primary

08:28.950 --> 08:31.339
responsibility . Moving forward . I

08:31.350 --> 08:33.406
will type out my recommendation here

09:23.719 --> 09:25.830
after you are done , you will be able

09:25.830 --> 09:27.830
to see that we are on page three of

09:27.830 --> 09:29.941
four . Clicking next will take you to

09:29.941 --> 09:31.941
the next page covering questions 13

09:31.941 --> 09:34.108
through 16 covering associated data at

09:34.108 --> 09:36.052
the very top of this page you will

09:36.052 --> 09:37.941
see.mil PFP and it asks which non

09:37.941 --> 09:39.775
material or material approach is

09:39.775 --> 09:41.830
recommended to fill the gap . I will

09:41.830 --> 09:44.052
click on those that are related to me .

09:44.052 --> 09:46.275
In this case , leadership and education

09:46.275 --> 09:48.386
scrolling down will present number 14

09:48.386 --> 09:50.441
or fighting functions . Here it asks

09:50.441 --> 09:52.608
which functions represent the group of

09:52.608 --> 09:54.386
tasks and systems align to your

09:54.386 --> 09:56.497
observation . Choose those applicable

09:56.500 --> 09:58.444
to you . For this example , I will

09:58.444 --> 10:01.979
choose command and control scrolling to

10:01.989 --> 10:04.000
reveal . The last questions are for

10:04.010 --> 10:07.059
numbers 15 , echelon , applicability

10:07.070 --> 10:10.090
and 16 security classification . Number

10:10.099 --> 10:11.940
15 asks for you to select all

10:11.950 --> 10:13.839
applicable formations . So I will

10:13.839 --> 10:16.179
continue by choosing brigade . The last

10:16.190 --> 10:18.710
asks for which security classification

10:18.719 --> 10:20.890
is appropriate with only unclassified

10:20.900 --> 10:23.122
and controlled unclassified information

10:23.122 --> 10:24.789
being options . I will choose

10:24.789 --> 10:26.844
unclassified . And from here you can

10:26.844 --> 10:28.900
see that we are on page four of four

10:28.900 --> 10:30.400
and we will click submit .

10:36.609 --> 10:38.720
After hitting submit , you will see a

10:38.720 --> 10:40.776
check mark and the text reading your

10:40.776 --> 10:42.776
observation was submitted . It also

10:42.776 --> 10:44.942
gives you a link to click if you would

10:44.942 --> 10:47.165
like to submit another observation . So

10:47.165 --> 10:49.165
for us , we're all done and that is

10:49.165 --> 10:51.220
quick fire . Thank you for following

10:51.220 --> 10:53.387
along with me for my submission . Stay
