Today's event is the Maintenance
  Professional of the Year  on Yokota Air Base.

00:02.180 --> 00:07.810
This event is to congratulate   all of the maintainers of   maintenance personnel 
    for their hard work   throughout the year.

00:07.810 --> 00:13.180
I know a lot of the units have  three or four teams   that are set up,
  and it's a friendly competition   between everybody.

00:13.180 --> 00:18.450
Biggest thing   is using this as motivation 
  for some of these younger guys  and seeing

00:18.450 --> 00:22.420
hopefully   that some of their role models
  up there are getting  recognized.

00:22.480 --> 00:25.180
It's a challenge,but    you shouldn't 
  let the every day struggle,

00:25.180 --> 00:28.720
you know,   stop the overall mission.
