00:01.980 --> 00:04.430
We're going T V Y first and foremost to

00:04.440 --> 00:07.770
beat attrition . So weather here on the

00:07.770 --> 00:09.992
Gulf coast has a tendency to have a lot

00:09.992 --> 00:12.214
of sea fog . And so we've lost a lot of

00:12.214 --> 00:14.437
stories in the past . So we want to get

00:14.437 --> 00:16.659
on the road and fly more so we can stay

00:16.659 --> 00:18.881
ahead of the training timeline . But in

00:18.881 --> 00:18.370
addition to that , we wanted to get ops

00:18.370 --> 00:20.481
and maintenance on the road so we can

00:20.481 --> 00:22.426
build some teamwork and build some

00:22.426 --> 00:24.648
tighter relationships . The crows , the

00:24.648 --> 00:27.850
60th fighter squadron emu is gonna go

00:27.860 --> 00:30.027
to spend about three weeks in Key West

00:30.027 --> 00:31.860
and then the Gorillas , the 58th

00:31.860 --> 00:33.971
fighter squadron and am you , they're

00:33.971 --> 00:37.290
going to Macdill for three weeks . So

00:37.290 --> 00:39.512
it's really important to me that we get

00:39.512 --> 00:41.623
on the road as a team . And so one of

00:41.623 --> 00:43.846
the things about getting maintenance on

00:43.846 --> 00:45.901
the road is it allows them to have a

00:45.901 --> 00:48.123
singular mission focus and they can put

00:48.123 --> 00:47.730
away some of the other additional tasks

00:47.730 --> 00:49.952
that they have to do when we're here at

00:49.952 --> 00:52.063
home station . So they can really get

00:52.063 --> 00:54.174
after the job and producing sorties .

00:54.174 --> 00:56.119
But also it gives them a chance to

00:56.119 --> 00:58.119
interact with ops in a way they can

00:58.119 --> 01:00.230
always do back here at home . So they

01:00.230 --> 01:02.397
build those deeper relationships and a

01:02.397 --> 01:04.508
stronger team and everyone has a good

01:04.508 --> 01:06.674
time on the road . So it's always good

01:06.674 --> 01:08.960
for morale as well because when you're

01:08.960 --> 01:11.071
on the road , you don't have the same

01:11.071 --> 01:13.127
support infrastructure that you have

01:13.127 --> 01:15.238
here at home . We do test and kind of

01:15.238 --> 01:15.130
build out some of those multi capable

01:15.130 --> 01:17.740
airmen attributes and skill sets for

01:17.740 --> 01:21.740
our maintainers . We are the nomads

01:21.750 --> 01:23.917
so it's good for us to get out in Rome

01:23.917 --> 01:23.520
every now and then .
