00:05.960 --> 00:08.071
Hey team Selfridge , welcome to March

00:08.071 --> 00:10.238
Drill . Today we're filming from the 1

00:10.238 --> 00:12.380
27th Operations Group where a tens

00:12.390 --> 00:14.609
maintainers support personnel and

00:14.619 --> 00:16.780
pilots are supporting exercise agile

00:16.790 --> 00:19.139
rage as a certification event . The

00:19.149 --> 00:21.899
entire 1 27th Wing remains focused on

00:21.909 --> 00:24.250
operations , exercises and training

00:24.379 --> 00:26.490
that keeps agile combat employment at

00:26.490 --> 00:28.657
the forefront . So we can successfully

00:28.657 --> 00:30.879
generate combat air power in a deployed

00:30.879 --> 00:32.879
environment . So although we didn't

00:32.879 --> 00:35.046
have drill in February , I didn't want

00:35.046 --> 00:37.046
to miss an opportunity to recognize

00:37.046 --> 00:38.879
Black History Month to honor the

00:38.879 --> 00:40.990
contributions of African American and

00:40.990 --> 00:43.101
Black airmen . And through March , we

00:43.101 --> 00:45.212
celebrate women's history Month which

00:45.212 --> 00:47.379
acknowledges women past and present as

00:47.379 --> 00:46.970
important contributors in the

00:46.979 --> 00:49.035
achievements of the military and our

00:49.035 --> 00:51.312
nation throughout our nation's history .

00:51.312 --> 00:53.423
Our diversity distinguishes our force

00:53.439 --> 00:55.606
and provides us with unique advantages

00:55.606 --> 00:57.772
on today's battlefield . Our diversity

00:57.772 --> 00:59.959
also inspires innovators who invest in

00:59.970 --> 01:02.081
the next generation of warfighters to

01:02.081 --> 01:04.081
be ready for the battlefield of the

01:04.081 --> 01:05.970
future to support our efforts for

01:05.970 --> 01:07.859
inclusion . The 1 27th Wing has a

01:07.859 --> 01:09.748
Diversity council that is open to

01:09.748 --> 01:11.748
everybody and they meet every drill

01:11.748 --> 01:13.914
Sunday at 1200 in the defect . We must

01:13.914 --> 01:15.970
continue to build strong teams where

01:15.970 --> 01:17.859
every member feels valued because

01:17.859 --> 01:20.026
innovation thrives when everyone feels

01:20.026 --> 01:21.803
included and respected by their

01:21.803 --> 01:24.026
organizations . So looking forward into

01:24.026 --> 01:25.859
April , we have both our regular

01:25.859 --> 01:28.081
scheduled drill on the 13th and 14th of

01:28.081 --> 01:30.248
April . But we also have an NSA on the

01:30.248 --> 01:32.739
25th through the 28th of April . I am

01:32.750 --> 01:34.806
asking our airmen to support the NSA

01:35.099 --> 01:37.266
that will help everyone build critical

01:37.266 --> 01:39.377
experience to fulfill our role within

01:39.377 --> 01:41.543
the number one priority mission of the

01:41.543 --> 01:43.809
dod our nuclear enterprise . In

01:43.819 --> 01:45.763
addition to fulfilling our current

01:45.763 --> 01:47.930
missions , the Michigan National Guard

01:47.930 --> 01:50.152
is always hiring to bring in the talent

01:50.152 --> 01:52.375
that will help Selfridge take on future

01:52.375 --> 01:54.541
missions . We offer full and part time

01:54.541 --> 01:56.597
opportunities with numerous benefits

01:56.597 --> 01:58.652
including tuition assistance of more

01:58.652 --> 02:00.750
than $18,000 a year , which is

02:00.760 --> 02:02.980
transferable to family members . We

02:02.989 --> 02:05.650
also offer a $500 referral bonus for

02:05.660 --> 02:07.716
anyone that brings in a recruit that

02:07.716 --> 02:09.938
completes training . I encourage you to

02:09.938 --> 02:11.993
support our recruiting and retention

02:11.993 --> 02:13.938
team by getting the word out about

02:13.938 --> 02:15.993
working here at the 1 27th Wing . We

02:15.993 --> 02:17.993
even have special training days set

02:17.993 --> 02:17.889
aside for you to go out into your

02:17.899 --> 02:20.066
communities and help spread the word .

02:20.066 --> 02:22.288
And finally on Saturday , a March drill

02:22.288 --> 02:24.510
is the wing ball on the second of March

02:24.510 --> 02:26.399
at the Mirage . I look forward to

02:26.399 --> 02:28.455
seeing you there and in June , we'll

02:28.455 --> 02:30.677
have our air show on the eighth and the

02:30.677 --> 02:32.788
ninth with the Family Day on Friday .

02:32.788 --> 02:34.788
The seventh of June . And so have a

02:34.788 --> 02:36.899
great drill . And remember together ,

02:36.899 --> 02:37.029
we stand ready to answer the call .
