00:02.079 --> 00:04.190
I'm actually a prior enlisted guy . I

00:04.190 --> 00:06.179
did about 12 years , uh six years

00:06.190 --> 00:08.190
security forces , then six years in

00:08.190 --> 00:10.412
recruiting and then went to for support

00:10.420 --> 00:12.642
for almost six years before I became an

00:12.642 --> 00:15.770
instructor . We teach four main uh pl

00:15.779 --> 00:17.557
OS what we call them . We teach

00:17.557 --> 00:20.020
communication , uh thinking leadership

00:20.030 --> 00:22.459
and war fighting . Uh So we kind of

00:22.469 --> 00:25.299
prep the captains for the next echelon

00:25.309 --> 00:27.531
of leadership . I brief all my students

00:27.531 --> 00:29.753
day one . I'm here as your instructor ,

00:29.753 --> 00:31.365
your flight commander , your

00:31.365 --> 00:33.420
facilitator . And you'll hear me say

00:33.420 --> 00:35.309
this a lot , I'm the lead learner

00:35.309 --> 00:37.531
because you're constantly getting a new

00:37.531 --> 00:39.642
group of captains in that come from a

00:39.642 --> 00:41.587
very diverse background in the Air

00:41.587 --> 00:43.198
force . And they share their

00:43.198 --> 00:45.142
experiences uh via the lesson plan

00:45.142 --> 00:47.309
we're talking about and I continuously

00:47.309 --> 00:49.253
learn from them . And I think that

00:49.253 --> 00:51.087
really like sets the tone in the

00:51.087 --> 00:53.279
classroom that we can all relax and it

00:53.290 --> 00:55.560
promotes communication . It promotes

00:55.569 --> 00:57.791
candid conversations in the classroom .

00:57.849 --> 01:00.182
We have the curriculum in the classroom ,

01:00.182 --> 01:02.405
which is all great stuff , introduces a

01:02.405 --> 01:04.516
lot of like base level concepts . But

01:04.516 --> 01:06.627
additionally , we do a lot of outside

01:06.627 --> 01:08.738
experiential what we call them and uh

01:08.738 --> 01:10.949
the physical team building events ,

01:10.959 --> 01:13.015
hands on team building events and it

01:13.015 --> 01:15.126
really shows them where they fit in ,

01:15.126 --> 01:17.480
in the group . Uh , there highlights

01:17.489 --> 01:19.545
their strengths and their weaknesses

01:19.545 --> 01:21.322
and gives them stuff , stuff to

01:21.322 --> 01:23.267
consider moving forward with their

01:23.267 --> 01:25.580
development . Watching the students and

01:25.589 --> 01:28.430
these captains come together as a team

01:29.000 --> 01:31.239
and problem solve and the , the brains

01:31.250 --> 01:33.361
that are behind the muscle on some of

01:33.361 --> 01:35.417
these students is pretty inspiring .

01:35.417 --> 01:37.361
And I think the future for the Air

01:37.361 --> 01:39.361
Force from what I've seen at S OS ,

01:39.361 --> 01:41.379
these future leaders is , is bright .
