WEBVTT 00:06.199 --> 00:08.199 Hey team Selfridge , welcome to May 00:08.199 --> 00:10.699 drill . Today we are filming from the 1 00:10.710 --> 00:13.229 27th operations group at Top Building 00:13.239 --> 00:16.090 50 which is home to airfield management 00:16.590 --> 00:18.812 here at Selfridge . Airfield management 00:18.812 --> 00:20.590 specialists are responsible for 00:20.590 --> 00:22.812 conducting routine safety inspections , 00:22.812 --> 00:24.923 coordinating maintenance , overseeing 00:24.923 --> 00:27.090 airport pavements , maintaining visual 00:27.090 --> 00:29.149 navigational aids and facilities and 00:29.159 --> 00:31.389 enforcing airfield design criteria and 00:31.399 --> 00:33.566 other airfield operations procedures . 00:34.009 --> 00:36.549 The success of every mission depends 00:36.560 --> 00:38.671 much on our airfield as it does . Our 00:38.671 --> 00:40.393 aircraft , airfield management 00:40.393 --> 00:42.549 maintains safe , secure and efficient 00:42.560 --> 00:45.069 airfield operations to ensure aircraft 00:45.080 --> 00:47.024 can take off or land at a moment's 00:47.024 --> 00:49.549 notice . Last month , I had the 00:49.560 --> 00:51.727 opportunity to attend the state of the 00:51.727 --> 00:53.838 state in Washington DC Michigan State 00:53.838 --> 00:55.949 leadership had an opportunity to meet 00:55.949 --> 00:57.838 with a one to talk about manpower 00:57.838 --> 01:00.004 issues that are happening in the state 01:00.004 --> 01:02.227 of Michigan . The A three to talk about 01:02.227 --> 01:04.282 current operations with our upcoming 01:04.282 --> 01:06.449 deployments . The A four about some of 01:06.449 --> 01:08.560 our srm and some of our upcoming mcon 01:08.560 --> 01:10.782 projects . And lastly , we had a chance 01:10.782 --> 01:12.949 to sit down with the A A to talk about 01:12.949 --> 01:15.004 future mission opportunities . It is 01:15.004 --> 01:14.690 such an honor for me to get the 01:14.699 --> 01:16.643 opportunity to go to Gar Burro and 01:16.643 --> 01:19.290 advocate for team Selfridge . Last 01:19.300 --> 01:21.411 month , we also had our nuclear staff 01:21.411 --> 01:24.379 assistance visit or NSA . This exercise 01:24.389 --> 01:26.500 allowed our 1 27th airmen the ability 01:26.500 --> 01:28.500 to prepare for our upcoming nuclear 01:28.500 --> 01:30.667 operational ras inspection . Coming up 01:30.667 --> 01:32.889 next year , as I mentioned before , the 01:32.889 --> 01:35.050 NSA , the secret to the success is 01:35.059 --> 01:37.003 attitude and effort . So I want to 01:37.003 --> 01:38.559 thank all of you for active 01:38.559 --> 01:40.559 participation and support to making 01:40.559 --> 01:42.819 sure we were successful as a result of 01:42.830 --> 01:44.830 our NSA , I am fully confident that 01:44.830 --> 01:47.052 we'll have no problems with our Nori in 01:47.052 --> 01:48.997 November and our upcoming Nor I in 01:48.997 --> 01:51.389 March of 2025 to get another 01:51.400 --> 01:53.456 commander's perspective on the NSA . 01:53.456 --> 01:55.511 I'm going to kick it over to Colonel 01:55.511 --> 01:55.330 Volcker to tell you a little bit more 01:55.339 --> 01:57.459 about her perspective . Thank you 01:57.470 --> 01:59.692 General Brancato for the opportunity to 01:59.692 --> 02:01.803 highlight our wings nuclear mission . 02:01.803 --> 02:03.859 And to say , thank you to our airmen 02:03.859 --> 02:05.414 for their contributions and 02:05.414 --> 02:07.581 professionalism as we welcomed Colonel 02:07.581 --> 02:10.119 Parsons team from the A MC A 10 N for 02:10.130 --> 02:12.399 our April Nori . The entire wing 02:12.410 --> 02:14.466 elevated their mission capability to 02:14.466 --> 02:17.399 strategic deterrent rig and wing 02:17.410 --> 02:19.466 inspection teams were dedicated to a 02:19.466 --> 02:21.610 rigorous exercise where we honed our 02:21.619 --> 02:23.750 collective processes and individual 02:23.759 --> 02:26.169 skills . Many thanks to our maintainers 02:26.179 --> 02:28.589 and air crew who effectively generated 02:28.600 --> 02:30.711 with command intent through contested 02:30.711 --> 02:33.000 scenarios . None of this is possible 02:33.009 --> 02:35.339 without all of our support units . I'd 02:35.350 --> 02:37.880 like to particularly thank our FSS who 02:37.889 --> 02:40.710 exercise their Epec to provide hot 02:40.720 --> 02:43.429 meals , our alert facility staff who 02:43.440 --> 02:45.662 knocked it out of the park and security 02:45.662 --> 02:48.289 forces who protected our jets . I know 02:48.300 --> 02:50.244 this is a big muscle movement that 02:50.244 --> 02:52.189 competes with other priorities . I 02:52.189 --> 02:54.078 commend everyone for the positive 02:54.078 --> 02:56.133 impact this past exercise has had on 02:56.133 --> 02:58.559 our readiness . It will translate into 02:58.570 --> 03:01.399 our performance for our inspection and 03:01.410 --> 03:03.521 into our future mission as we prepare 03:03.521 --> 03:06.479 for the KC 46 . That's awesome . Thank 03:06.490 --> 03:08.379 you , Colonel Volcker . One of my 03:08.379 --> 03:10.323 favorite things to do is recognize 03:10.323 --> 03:12.490 people for their performance . So this 03:12.490 --> 03:14.657 weekend , we will have the opportunity 03:14.657 --> 03:16.768 to recognize all the members who work 03:16.768 --> 03:18.601 very hard in accomplishing their 03:18.601 --> 03:20.546 community college of the Air Force 03:20.546 --> 03:22.768 degrees . The CCAF graduation will take 03:22.768 --> 03:24.990 place on Sunday of May drill at 1400 in 03:24.990 --> 03:27.100 the base dining facility . So please 03:27.110 --> 03:29.332 come out and support your fellow airmen 03:29.332 --> 03:31.332 who work so hard in advancing their 03:31.332 --> 03:34.000 careers . And finally , this will be 03:34.009 --> 03:36.460 our last drill before the 2024 open 03:36.470 --> 03:38.600 house at Air Show featuring the Air 03:38.610 --> 03:40.830 Force Thunderbirds . The Air Show will 03:40.839 --> 03:43.229 take place on 8 to 9 June with our 03:43.240 --> 03:45.407 family day being on Friday the seventh 03:45.407 --> 03:47.729 of June . I cannot wait for this 03:47.740 --> 03:49.610 experience and I especially look 03:49.619 --> 03:51.730 forward to June 7th , which will be a 03:51.730 --> 03:53.952 great time to get together and share in 03:53.952 --> 03:56.050 the spectacle of the Air show and 03:56.059 --> 03:58.170 celebrate all the hard work that goes 03:58.170 --> 04:00.490 in to making this event happen . I 04:00.500 --> 04:02.722 really look forward to seeing everybody 04:02.722 --> 04:04.611 here for May drill .
