00:19.829 --> 00:22.051
I'm Master Sergeant Chelsea Fitzpatrick

00:22.051 --> 00:23.996
with the 127th Wing Public Affairs

00:23.996 --> 00:26.218
Office , and I'm here with your updates

00:26.218 --> 00:28.329
as we head into February drill . Last

00:28.329 --> 00:30.329
week we had the opportunity to host

00:30.329 --> 00:32.551
more than 80 partners from the National

00:32.551 --> 00:34.773
Guard Bureau during our second official

00:34.773 --> 00:37.090
Site Activation Task Force , or SATAF .

00:37.549 --> 00:39.771
I spoke with our conversion team lead ,

00:39.771 --> 00:41.938
Chief . to learn more about the team's

00:41.938 --> 00:44.354
current work and the latest from the

00:44.354 --> 00:46.615
CTA . So right now we're kind of

00:46.615 --> 00:48.837
mapping out what the future is going to

00:48.837 --> 00:51.059
look like here at Selfridge . We've got

00:51.059 --> 00:53.095
a team that's kind of identified to

00:53.095 --> 00:55.854
work on futures and look out and engage

00:55.854 --> 00:58.076
with the field and see what's necessary

00:58.076 --> 01:00.187
to bed down the new weapons systems .

01:02.040 --> 01:05.120
We got an idea . The pictures are

01:05.120 --> 01:07.120
getting better now . We've got some

01:07.120 --> 01:09.231
renderings . Multiple projects are in

01:09.231 --> 01:11.398
design at this point , working closely

01:11.398 --> 01:13.287
with the engineering team here at

01:13.287 --> 01:15.509
Selfridge and the Guard Bureau to chart

01:15.509 --> 01:19.000
out these facilities . 2028 ,

01:19.230 --> 01:21.400
uh , looking second half 2028 for the

01:21.400 --> 01:24.620
EX and then for the KC 46 , you're

01:24.620 --> 01:26.760
looking at the first half of 2030 .

01:28.800 --> 01:30.839
It's not defined yet as to when the

01:30.839 --> 01:32.950
current weapons systems will divest .

01:33.400 --> 01:35.567
We've got to get a little further down

01:35.567 --> 01:37.622
the line and make sure that we align

01:37.622 --> 01:40.300
with when the iron's flowing in . It's

01:40.300 --> 01:42.522
a whole of Michigan approach to support

01:42.522 --> 01:44.633
the conversion here at Selfridge . We

01:44.633 --> 01:46.467
have project managers from other

01:46.467 --> 01:48.467
installations in Battle Creek , and

01:48.467 --> 01:50.300
we've even got Army support with

01:50.300 --> 01:52.467
certain elements within engineering to

01:52.467 --> 01:54.578
help chart out what this looks like .

01:56.069 --> 01:58.180
I'd say get good at what you do now ,

01:58.449 --> 02:00.393
uh , make sure you're a functional

02:00.393 --> 02:02.116
expert within your area , be a

02:02.116 --> 02:04.949
practitioner of what you do , and then

02:04.949 --> 02:07.830
understand who is your representatives

02:07.830 --> 02:09.997
supporting your functional area . Work

02:09.997 --> 02:12.163
with them to integrate and learn as to

02:12.163 --> 02:14.330
what's coming , and then be prepared .

02:15.630 --> 02:17.686
Last month , the wing first sergeant

02:17.686 --> 02:19.699
gave us our first update on the

02:19.699 --> 02:22.139
physical fitness training program , so

02:22.139 --> 02:24.500
we headed over to the base gym to get

02:24.500 --> 02:27.240
the latest information on what's new

02:27.460 --> 02:29.779
now . Well , hey , thanks for joining

02:29.779 --> 02:32.179
us at our workout . Hey , Shirt Johnson

02:32.179 --> 02:34.123
here again . Want to bring you the

02:34.123 --> 02:36.179
latest news on . The fitness program

02:36.179 --> 02:38.235
and the good news is all traditional

02:38.235 --> 02:41.565
guardsmen will test once a year and

02:41.565 --> 02:43.787
during your fitness test you'll be able

02:43.787 --> 02:45.964
to do either the 2 mile run or the

02:45.964 --> 02:48.304
hammer . And lastly , I want to close

02:48.304 --> 02:50.471
with reminding commanders to make sure

02:50.471 --> 02:52.582
that fitness is part of your airmen's

02:52.582 --> 02:55.080
daily routine . I can't emphasize

02:55.080 --> 02:57.136
enough the importance of making sure

02:57.136 --> 02:59.302
you have a teammate and a wingman with

02:59.302 --> 03:01.247
you along your workouts . So after

03:01.247 --> 03:03.524
you've made it into your daily routine ,

03:03.524 --> 03:05.691
make sure you have a friend with you .

03:05.691 --> 03:07.913
Resilient airmen train the mind and the

03:07.913 --> 03:10.600
body . Fitness is the mission . We are

03:10.600 --> 03:13.710
fit to fight . The 127th wing , we

03:13.710 --> 03:16.750
stand ready always . I'm gonna finish

03:16.750 --> 03:17.750
my workout .

03:21.270 --> 03:23.389
Thanks , Senior Johnson . Our goal is

03:23.389 --> 03:25.369
to provide accurate and timely

03:25.369 --> 03:27.591
information to ensure that every member

03:27.591 --> 03:29.910
of the 127th Wing arrives prepared for

03:29.910 --> 03:33.350
duty and well informed . For the 1

03:33.350 --> 03:35.294
twenty-seventh Wing Public Affairs

03:35.294 --> 03:37.350
Office , I'm Master Sergeant Chelsea

03:37.350 --> 03:38.750
