00:00.159 --> 00:02.048
Uh , my name is 6 Sergeant Joshua

00:02.048 --> 00:04.103
Thornton . I'm with the 6 Night bomb

00:04.103 --> 00:06.103
squadron here at Fairford Air Force

00:06.103 --> 00:09.329
Base . So my job is AFE aircrew flight

00:09.329 --> 00:11.496
equipment . We deal with anything that

00:11.496 --> 00:13.551
the air crew flies with parachutes ,

00:13.551 --> 00:16.690
sea kits , player . You have the sea

00:16.690 --> 00:19.049
sail to be in here . Uh , so we outfit

00:19.049 --> 00:21.160
the air crew so they can go take care

00:21.160 --> 00:23.271
of the mission and our model is to be

00:23.271 --> 00:25.160
the last to let you down . So our

00:25.160 --> 00:27.105
equipment gets you in the event of

00:27.105 --> 00:29.105
emergency so we don't have room for

00:29.105 --> 00:31.327
error to make mistakes . Before the air

00:31.327 --> 00:33.382
crew come in , we'll come in an hour

00:33.382 --> 00:35.549
before they do , and we'll take a look

00:35.549 --> 00:35.270
at all the equipment to make sure

00:35.270 --> 00:37.389
everything is cut and up to snuff

00:37.389 --> 00:39.990
inspected , make sure all the I's are

00:39.990 --> 00:42.150
dotted T's are crossed , and then

00:42.150 --> 00:44.261
they'll step with that equipment once

00:44.261 --> 00:46.372
they fly , uh , you know , hustle and

00:46.372 --> 00:48.483
bustle goes on on the jet . They come

00:48.483 --> 00:50.261
back . We have to make sure the

00:50.261 --> 00:52.317
equipment is maintained and well put

00:52.317 --> 00:54.428
together before we put it back in the

00:54.428 --> 00:56.483
locker before the flight . It's also

00:56.483 --> 00:58.594
being AFP air crew fight equipment we

00:58.594 --> 01:00.761
work hand in hand with the pilots , so

01:00.761 --> 01:02.928
we work around the flying schedule and

01:02.928 --> 01:04.983
just giving those guys the assurance

01:04.983 --> 01:04.370
that they need to go out and do the

01:04.370 --> 01:06.650
mission gives us a good pat on the back

01:06.650 --> 01:07.449
when everybody comes home .
