00:00.000 --> 00:02.056
there's a number of things that make

00:02.056 --> 00:04.222
this a difficult recruiting year , you

00:04.222 --> 00:06.333
know , really . First and foremost is

00:06.333 --> 00:08.333
we've got a national labor shortage

00:08.333 --> 00:10.556
going on and we are in a pitched battle

00:10.556 --> 00:12.722
for talent . We're , we're in a battle

00:12.722 --> 00:16.240
for talent with amazon google target

00:16.250 --> 00:18.680
Starbucks , you name it . And because

00:18.680 --> 00:20.791
we've got a national labor shortage ,

00:20.791 --> 00:22.791
um , you know that battle is pretty

00:22.791 --> 00:24.624
intense when it comes to pay and

00:24.624 --> 00:27.230
compensation and educational benefits .

00:27.240 --> 00:29.184
I would still argue that the value

00:29.184 --> 00:31.018
proposition that we offer in the

00:31.018 --> 00:32.684
military today and I'll speak

00:32.684 --> 00:35.080
specifically about the Air Force , It's

00:35.080 --> 00:37.640
still unrivaled . You cannot , You

00:37.640 --> 00:39.807
cannot do what we do . You cannot have

00:39.807 --> 00:41.751
that same value proposition in the

00:41.751 --> 00:43.807
corporate world . It is important as

00:43.807 --> 00:46.100
those jobs are to our society and to

00:46.100 --> 00:48.390
our nation , but it's a battle right

00:48.390 --> 00:51.100
now for talent and as we look for the

00:51.100 --> 00:54.900
17-24 year olds and beyond , we've got

00:54.900 --> 00:57.310
a lot of other parts of the civil

00:57.310 --> 00:59.421
sector in America . They are battling

00:59.421 --> 01:01.421
out for those same people trying to

01:01.421 --> 01:03.643
track them to come to their companies .

01:05.840 --> 01:06.160
Yeah .
