00:05.484 --> 00:06.750
(music playing)

00:06.750 --> 00:08.830
(soldiers talking)

00:08.830 --> 00:11.690
- Right now, the Combat
Attic was kinda filled

00:11.690 --> 00:13.540
all the way to the very top, so you saw

00:13.540 --> 00:15.030
a few of us climbing up at the top,

00:15.030 --> 00:16.930
basically the Mount Everest of clothes.

00:16.930 --> 00:18.290
We were just trying to kick it all out

00:18.290 --> 00:20.420
so we can start organizing for DRMO.

00:20.420 --> 00:22.660
The next container next
to us for the Combat Attic

00:22.660 --> 00:24.470
is actually serviceable items.

00:24.470 --> 00:25.560
They didn't have enough manpower,

00:25.560 --> 00:26.650
so they've been asking for help

00:26.650 --> 00:28.750
for people to help them
out, organize, sort,

00:28.750 --> 00:30.000
so we can get it out of the way.

00:30.000 --> 00:31.530
But we just ask a few questions:

00:31.530 --> 00:33.600
who, what, when, where, and how,

00:33.600 --> 00:35.126
on basically how to get everything done.

00:35.126 --> 00:38.260
(soldiers talking)

00:38.260 --> 00:41.500
- So we went through a big
connex box full of stuff

00:41.500 --> 00:44.510
that we were either gonna DRMO or scrap

00:44.510 --> 00:46.300
or give to the Airman's Attic.

00:46.300 --> 00:48.210
We separated all that
into different piles,

00:48.210 --> 00:49.950
just looking at the quality, if the stuff

00:49.950 --> 00:52.224
is gonna be useable for new airmen.

00:52.224 --> 00:53.057
- You know what?

00:53.057 --> 00:53.890
- Yeah.

00:53.890 --> 00:54.723
- I don't know what they did to this, but.

00:54.723 --> 00:55.556
- So that will go in the shred pile.

00:55.556 --> 00:57.500
- Easily over like 800 for
sure, if you're including

00:57.500 --> 00:59.530
all those boot boxes, probably over 1,200.

00:59.530 --> 01:01.340
I mean, we had to load them
into wheeled bins just to

01:01.340 --> 01:04.110
get them over to the other part
to count 'em and everything.

01:04.110 --> 01:05.760
There's still five boxes of boots

01:05.760 --> 01:07.863
in that connex we gotta
forklift outta here.

01:09.640 --> 01:10.590
- We have people driving forklifts,

01:10.590 --> 01:12.330
driving state trucks, driving flatbeds,

01:12.330 --> 01:14.166
picking up containers,
dropping off containers,

01:14.166 --> 01:17.033
and then you have other people sorting.

01:17.033 --> 01:18.370
- I think that this is great.

01:18.370 --> 01:21.050
I mean, this is what I've
been doing since I got here

01:21.050 --> 01:23.787
in my shop, and with
other shops and stuff.

01:23.787 --> 01:27.860
Alongside my job is base
upkeep, it's super important.

01:27.860 --> 01:29.450
You know, you can tuck
everything into a corner

01:29.450 --> 01:32.202
for a while, but it's eventually
gonna become a problem.

01:32.202 --> 01:33.555
And so, coming out here
and cleaning it up,

01:33.555 --> 01:35.283
it's for the long run.

01:37.640 --> 01:38.970
- I appreciate everybody who actually

01:38.970 --> 01:40.560
participated and helped us out today.

01:40.560 --> 01:42.290
It actually benefited us a lot

01:42.290 --> 01:43.690
and helped our airmen out a lot.

01:43.690 --> 01:44.523
Thank you.
