WEBVTT 00:00.440 --> 00:03.270 right . Yeah . So we've had a couple 00:03.270 --> 00:05.326 opportunities to experience the line 00:05.326 --> 00:06.326 culture . 00:09.240 --> 00:11.460 The team went out to Pearl Harbor , we 00:11.460 --> 00:13.682 did a tour there , learned a little bit 00:13.682 --> 00:15.849 of history . We've had the opportunity 00:15.849 --> 00:18.016 to hit a couple beaches , see what the 00:18.016 --> 00:19.960 local life's like . Some guys have 00:19.960 --> 00:22.071 learned how to surf or at least tried 00:22.071 --> 00:23.904 to learn how to surf . And we've 00:23.904 --> 00:25.904 enjoyed obviously just enjoying the 00:25.904 --> 00:27.960 food and the culture . Everyone here 00:27.960 --> 00:30.182 has been super helpful , super friendly 00:30.182 --> 00:32.293 and we've thoroughly enjoyed our time 00:32.293 --> 00:32.070 here in the wife . So although we've 00:32.080 --> 00:34.302 obviously been enjoying a little bit of 00:34.302 --> 00:36.380 the local culture and some of the 00:36.380 --> 00:38.380 weather , most of it's been tied up 00:38.380 --> 00:41.180 with work . So when an exercise is 00:41.180 --> 00:43.124 going , that's seven days a week , 00:43.124 --> 00:45.510 different shifts , No real time for 00:45.510 --> 00:47.454 play . And right now during steady 00:47.454 --> 00:49.510 state ops , we're still working some 00:49.510 --> 00:51.566 longer days , coming into the office 00:51.566 --> 00:53.566 early , making sure we know what we 00:53.566 --> 00:53.380 need to do for the day and and 00:53.380 --> 00:55.720 executing and trying to nest with user 00:55.720 --> 00:57.887 packs plans both as we go into another 00:57.887 --> 01:00.280 exercise in the future . We're here 01:00.280 --> 01:02.113 supporting a number of different 01:02.113 --> 01:04.058 exercises . We're actually here to 01:04.058 --> 01:06.002 support defender pacific . We just 01:06.002 --> 01:08.058 completed supporting pacific Century 01:08.058 --> 01:09.947 and we'll be continuing with some 01:09.947 --> 01:11.669 steady state operations , just 01:11.669 --> 01:13.891 supporting normal day to day operations 01:13.891 --> 01:15.891 here , user pack and rolling into a 01:15.891 --> 01:17.780 couple other things as we go into 01:17.780 --> 01:19.613 defender pacific . An army space 01:19.613 --> 01:21.780 support team provides space support to 01:21.780 --> 01:23.836 operations for various commanders at 01:23.836 --> 01:26.002 echelon . So here we're supporting the 01:26.002 --> 01:28.224 Theater army at user pack , but we will 01:28.224 --> 01:30.058 support division commands , core 01:30.058 --> 01:31.891 commands . And again here at the 01:31.891 --> 01:34.002 Theater Army we provide space enabled 01:34.002 --> 01:36.169 support . Right ? So we liaise between 01:36.169 --> 01:38.280 different space agencies . We provide 01:38.280 --> 01:40.113 products that help give a shared 01:40.113 --> 01:42.113 understanding of the battlefield to 01:42.113 --> 01:44.224 include our domain , which is space . 01:44.224 --> 01:46.280 And we also are assisting in various 01:46.280 --> 01:48.502 planning efforts as we go into exercise 01:48.502 --> 01:50.613 and real world operations . It's been 01:50.613 --> 01:52.620 great being here in Hawaii because 01:52.630 --> 01:54.408 we've been training up for this 01:54.408 --> 01:56.241 exercise for a while now . We've 01:56.241 --> 01:58.463 completed our table certification twice 01:58.463 --> 02:00.297 before even coming out here . So 02:00.297 --> 02:02.463 actually being able to utilize all the 02:02.463 --> 02:04.630 software that we've been training on , 02:04.630 --> 02:07.230 putting it to work and then scene and 02:07.230 --> 02:09.600 getting feedback from what we do . It's , 02:09.600 --> 02:11.822 we've been receiving great feedback and 02:11.822 --> 02:13.989 been complimented on our work multiple 02:13.989 --> 02:15.933 times . So it's been really good . 02:15.933 --> 02:18.044 What's been great about being here in 02:18.044 --> 02:20.267 Hawaii and performing this mission is , 02:20.267 --> 02:22.378 it's been very rewarding . Um , we've 02:22.378 --> 02:24.544 been able to put everything that we've 02:24.544 --> 02:26.767 practiced into effect and seeing a good 02:26.767 --> 02:28.767 impact back at it . One of the more 02:28.767 --> 02:31.100 rewarding things that I've done is , um , 02:31.100 --> 02:33.267 some of the products that we build and 02:33.267 --> 02:35.489 seeing it being briefed to high ranking 02:35.489 --> 02:37.600 officers and people in the military , 02:37.600 --> 02:39.860 it's something that I was not expecting 02:40.360 --> 02:42.582 to fuel . You know , it's easy to say , 02:42.582 --> 02:44.804 hey , can you just do some of the stuff 02:44.804 --> 02:47.450 space support teams do virtually . Can 02:47.450 --> 02:49.450 we , can we just dial it in and the 02:49.450 --> 02:51.561 reality is being here in a why allows 02:51.561 --> 02:53.450 us to actually integrate with the 02:53.450 --> 02:55.672 commanders plan . Right ? So being able 02:55.672 --> 02:55.390 to understand thoroughly what the 02:55.390 --> 02:57.057 mission is , Be able to start 02:57.057 --> 02:59.112 developing products , briefing these 02:59.112 --> 03:01.340 products and and start kind of building 03:01.340 --> 03:03.740 the team here , integrating across the 03:03.740 --> 03:06.040 staff really helps us actually provide 03:06.040 --> 03:08.262 better support . So it seems like we're 03:08.262 --> 03:10.318 here an awfully long time , which we 03:10.318 --> 03:12.262 are , but it actually allows us to 03:12.262 --> 03:14.262 really nest in their plan and truly 03:14.262 --> 03:16.373 support , defender , pacific and user 03:16.373 --> 03:16.170 pack as we go forward . You know , 03:16.170 --> 03:18.960 being able to phone up to indo pak calm 03:18.960 --> 03:21.238 and work with the subordinate commands . 03:21.238 --> 03:23.960 It really allows us to provide good , 03:23.970 --> 03:26.030 carefully made products for the team 03:26.030 --> 03:27.919 and make sure that we're actually 03:27.919 --> 03:28.650 nesting with their intent .
