responsible for managing the Wing's

00:11.488 --> 00:14.380

00:14.390 --> 00:16.612

00:16.612 --> 00:18.850
S commander and chief of our D N I

00:18.860 --> 00:21.649
Council with me to discuss an exciting

00:21.659 --> 00:24.020
upcoming event and training opportunity .

00:24.950 --> 00:27.540
As you're aware , our May U weekend

00:27.549 --> 00:29.940
will be a super drill from Friday five

00:29.950 --> 00:32.540
May through Sunday seven May . We're

00:32.549 --> 00:34.716
thrilled to announce the return of Arc

00:34.716 --> 00:36.827
Chief of Diversity inclusion , Mister

00:36.827 --> 00:39.200
Lee Floyd and his team . This will be

00:39.209 --> 00:41.320
their second trip to Keisler . And if

00:41.320 --> 00:43.320
you miss the first one , don't miss

00:43.320 --> 00:45.431
this opportunity to both get your one

00:45.431 --> 00:47.320
time D N I training and to hear a

00:47.320 --> 00:49.153
phenomenal teacher with a unique

00:49.153 --> 00:51.320
perspective on the concepts of barrier

00:51.320 --> 00:54.009
removal , retention , excellence , and

00:54.020 --> 00:56.810
performance . Our diversity is

00:56.819 --> 00:58.708
something that makes us unique as

00:58.708 --> 01:01.669
Americans and as a fighting force , the

01:01.680 --> 01:04.040
air force has typically led the country

01:04.050 --> 01:06.272
in the breaking of barriers and we will

01:06.272 --> 01:07.940
continue to do so in order to

01:07.949 --> 01:11.349
effectively fly fight and win our

01:11.360 --> 01:13.720
diversity of thought is where we always

01:13.730 --> 01:16.139
outpace our adversaries and it has been

01:16.150 --> 01:18.110
a key component of defeating and

01:18.120 --> 01:20.519
deterring them based on our current

01:20.529 --> 01:22.529
threat . This will only become more

01:22.529 --> 01:26.250
necessary if you not had this training

01:26.260 --> 01:28.482
work with your leadership to ensure you

01:28.482 --> 01:30.593
are scheduled for one of the training

01:30.593 --> 01:33.370
blocks during the May Super U A I would

01:33.379 --> 01:35.379
ask that you come with an open mind

01:35.379 --> 01:38.309
stories , respectful questions and a

01:38.319 --> 01:40.919
sense of humor . I found personally ,

01:40.930 --> 01:42.763
Mr Floyd and his team to have an

01:42.763 --> 01:45.290
exceptional ability to engage us in all

01:45.300 --> 01:48.199
of those facets . Please know that your

01:48.209 --> 01:50.720
D N I team is working hard to ensure we

01:50.730 --> 01:53.900
retain recruit and engage with the best

01:53.910 --> 01:55.577
and brightest from all of the

01:55.577 --> 01:57.799
communities that make up our four third

01:57.799 --> 01:59.799
family . This is one of the ways we

01:59.799 --> 02:02.169
will remain at the wing of choice . I

02:02.180 --> 02:04.069
look forward to seeing you at the

02:04.069 --> 02:07.870
