00:00.469 --> 00:02.529
Day one , we started something and

00:02.539 --> 00:04.706
every day since we've been building on

00:04.706 --> 00:06.539
that , stronger and stronger and

00:06.539 --> 00:08.595
stronger . Are you with me ? Are you

00:08.595 --> 00:12.060
with me ? Officer training school is a

00:12.069 --> 00:14.609
nine week program designed to take

00:14.619 --> 00:16.675
civilians straight off the street or

00:16.675 --> 00:18.750
prior enlisted members and transform

00:18.760 --> 00:20.982
them into leaders for the United States

00:20.982 --> 00:23.038
Air Force or the United States Space

00:23.038 --> 00:26.840
Force , we have people from

00:26.850 --> 00:29.120
all sorts of backgrounds , kind of the

00:29.129 --> 00:31.351
biggest common factor I've seen between

00:31.351 --> 00:33.573
students having that very strong , very

00:33.573 --> 00:35.979
personal why that drives students both

00:35.990 --> 00:37.990
through this training and through a

00:37.990 --> 00:40.259
successful career in the Air Force . So

00:40.270 --> 00:42.603
you have to have the confidence to lead ,

00:42.603 --> 00:44.548
but also the confidence to say , I

00:44.548 --> 00:47.029
don't know , we want to challenge you

00:47.119 --> 00:49.509
mentally . We want to challenge you

00:49.580 --> 00:51.549
with your leadership skills , push

00:51.560 --> 00:54.349
forward this way . But we're also going

00:54.360 --> 00:56.027
to challenge you physically .

00:59.549 --> 01:01.779
So many people who are coming through

01:01.790 --> 01:03.790
OTs right now getting to hear their

01:03.790 --> 01:06.449
perspectives , getting to hear their

01:06.459 --> 01:09.419
passion and their passion to serve . It

01:09.430 --> 01:11.959
really hasn't just filled me with a

01:11.970 --> 01:14.660
confidence about the future of Air

01:14.669 --> 01:16.780
Force leadership . One of my favorite

01:16.780 --> 01:18.947
aspects about the training is watching

01:18.947 --> 01:21.002
the development of someone that just

01:21.002 --> 01:23.002
shows up at OTs and see kind of how

01:23.002 --> 01:25.225
they take in all the lessons . And then

01:25.225 --> 01:24.720
the person that they become at the end ,

01:24.730 --> 01:27.029
someone that's more confident and more

01:27.040 --> 01:30.180
ready to lead way to be leaders ,

01:30.739 --> 01:32.739
warriors and wingmen . I appreciate

01:32.739 --> 01:34.961
seeing everybody out there pushing each

01:34.961 --> 01:37.128
other and digging deep and that's what

01:37.128 --> 01:37.580
we want to see .
