WEBVTT

00:11.119 --> 00:13.008
It's a lot of hands on training .

00:13.829 --> 00:16.510
Asphalt work , um , filling potholes ,

00:16.590 --> 00:19.059
maintaining their parking apron . We're

00:19.059 --> 00:21.840
supporting the Palm guard unit out here

00:22.030 --> 00:24.110
to make sure that the laptops

00:24.110 --> 00:26.443
themselves hardware wise are good to go .

00:26.959 --> 00:29.181
Here we get opportunities to unload and

00:29.181 --> 00:32.759
offload C-17s , uh , KC-46s , KC-135s .

00:34.009 --> 00:36.250
70 airmen across 4 different squadrons

00:36.250 --> 00:38.930
to Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam . It

00:38.930 --> 00:42.090
jointly allows us to exercise in an

00:42.090 --> 00:44.257
environment that we're not used to and

00:44.257 --> 00:46.368
that gets us the core training , uh ,

00:46.368 --> 00:49.169
in an active duty setting . They have a

00:49.169 --> 00:53.000
lot more equipment than we do . It's an

00:53.000 --> 00:55.111
experience that I don't that I get to

00:55.111 --> 00:57.222
get back home but uh not at this like

00:57.222 --> 00:59.970
level . I love working on the hardware

00:59.970 --> 01:02.919
stuff . Uh , I don't get to do it often

01:02.919 --> 01:05.440
enough . There's a whole different

01:05.440 --> 01:08.919
culture versus guard and active what

01:08.919 --> 01:11.720
they may prioritize more versus what we

01:11.720 --> 01:14.360
prioritize back at home . They work

01:14.360 --> 01:16.800
closely with uh the Navy around here as

01:16.800 --> 01:19.519
well and some of the Army guys so it's

01:19.519 --> 01:21.839
good joint operations for us too . I

01:21.839 --> 01:23.561
feel like it gives me a better

01:23.561 --> 01:25.672
perspective on our joint operations .

01:25.672 --> 01:27.895
You get a lot of different perspectives

01:27.895 --> 01:29.895
out here for sure . Every base that

01:29.895 --> 01:31.617
we've been to is kind of had a

01:31.617 --> 01:33.783
different sort of approach to how they

01:33.783 --> 01:35.950
work on their vehicles . The way we're

01:35.950 --> 01:38.319
cutting on the edges here um we've

01:38.319 --> 01:40.375
we've cut it straight before they're

01:40.375 --> 01:43.510
cutting it at a diagonal . I think that

01:44.040 --> 01:45.929
we can honestly teach some of the

01:45.929 --> 01:48.096
people out here a couple of things and

01:48.096 --> 01:50.207
we've seen things that we know we can

01:50.207 --> 01:51.762
probably use back at home .

01:54.169 --> 01:56.280
I think I'm more well rounded . I can

01:56.280 --> 01:58.336
go anywhere in the world and work on

01:58.336 --> 02:00.910
any plane . When we get deployed , I

02:00.910 --> 02:03.243
mean , our mission is , isn't stateside .

02:03.339 --> 02:05.870
Our mission is wherever the fight takes

02:05.870 --> 02:08.037
us , and if we show up and not knowing

02:08.037 --> 02:10.259
what we're doing , it looks bad on us .

02:10.270 --> 02:12.270
It's , it's good work for us , good

02:12.270 --> 02:12.729
hands on stuff .
