00:15.869 --> 00:18.590
I am at the 482 attack squadron here at

00:18.590 --> 00:20.430
Shaw Air Force Base . Uh , we're

00:20.430 --> 00:23.440
currently in a reset prepared certified

00:23.440 --> 00:26.069
phase , uh , preparing to go back into

00:26.069 --> 00:29.790
combat . Typical day for me looks

00:29.790 --> 00:31.679
like checking all my currencies ,

00:31.679 --> 00:33.950
making sure I'm ready to fly , and then

00:33.950 --> 00:36.270
it's either instructing a student or

00:36.270 --> 00:39.860
flying the line . The typical day for

00:39.860 --> 00:41.860
MP9 since er starts at mass brief .

00:41.860 --> 00:44.193
You'll have all the weather for the day ,

00:44.193 --> 00:46.304
the intel , all the things you need ,

00:46.304 --> 00:48.304
uh , and required to fly . And then

00:48.304 --> 00:50.471
after that you'll do a crew brief with

00:50.471 --> 00:50.139
your pilot . You'll set out to the jet ,

00:50.259 --> 00:52.259
fly the line for a lot of amount of

00:52.259 --> 00:54.370
time that you're scheduled for . Then

00:54.370 --> 00:56.426
we have additional duties and shop .

00:56.426 --> 00:58.648
Work and we'll accomplish those outside

00:58.648 --> 00:58.185
of flying . The most fulfilling and

00:58.185 --> 01:00.505
rewarding part of being an operator is

01:00.505 --> 01:02.783
the actual global effects that we have ,

01:02.783 --> 01:05.005
uh , completing these missions overseas

01:05.005 --> 01:07.227
for combatant commanders and seeing the

01:07.227 --> 01:09.338
effects that we can have on the world

01:09.338 --> 01:11.449
and the accumulation of everything we

01:11.449 --> 01:13.616
do . Yeah , I love it . I think , uh ,

01:13.616 --> 01:15.894
it's unlike any other job in the world ,

01:15.894 --> 01:17.745
even within the Air Force , so I

01:17.745 --> 01:18.775
wouldn't trade it for the world .
