00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:12,900
So today we showed them around the 

3
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:15,011
aircraft , showed them what we do for 

4
00:00:15,011 --> 00:00:17,067
our pre flights as well as show them 

5
00:00:17,067 --> 00:00:18,789
around our alternate insertion 

6
00:00:18,789 --> 00:00:20,900
extraction devices , showing them our 

7
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:22,956
capabilities of bringing in the team 

8
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:25,011
are taking , sending them out to the 

9
00:00:25,011 --> 00:00:27,233
landing zone . When we're not flying we 

10
00:00:27,233 --> 00:00:29,233
all have additional duties . For me 

11
00:00:29,233 --> 00:00:31,122
it's resource advisors . So we're 

12
00:00:31,122 --> 00:00:33,456
actually tracking those funds for T . D . 

13
00:00:33,456 --> 00:00:35,567
Y . S to go to different countries to 

14
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:37,622
do gun lines , cool weather response 

15
00:00:37,622 --> 00:00:39,789
stuff . My favorite part about the job 

16
00:00:39,789 --> 00:00:41,840
is how diverse it is . So we're not 

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,118
just a flight engineer , were a gunner , 

18
00:00:44,118 --> 00:00:47,360
were alone master hoist operator and 

19
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,527
being able to wrap up all those things 

20
00:00:49,527 --> 00:00:51,249
together . Makes it a lot more 

21
00:00:51,249 --> 00:00:54,010
satisfying . One of the most 

22
00:00:54,010 --> 00:00:56,420
challenging parts of the job is trying 

23
00:00:56,420 --> 00:00:58,910
to think ahead of the aircraft . Okay 

24
00:00:58,910 --> 00:01:01,100
so we're going to L . C . We have 

25
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,640
enough fuel to get there . If we do . 

26
00:01:03,650 --> 00:01:05,872
Are we too heavy to even make it to the 

27
00:01:05,872 --> 00:01:07,983
landing zone ? If we are too heavy do 

28
00:01:07,983 --> 00:01:10,206
we have to drop off before we get there 

29
00:01:10,206 --> 00:01:12,428
as far as fuel ? Burn it up however and 

30
00:01:12,428 --> 00:01:14,770
then think tactically so wrapping up 

31
00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:17,048
the system , knowledge of the aircraft , 

32
00:01:17,048 --> 00:01:19,290
its capabilities , knowing what the 

33
00:01:19,290 --> 00:01:21,401
enemy has and what's stopping us from 

34
00:01:21,401 --> 00:01:23,346
being able to achieve the goal and 

35
00:01:23,346 --> 00:01:25,457
that's really where the seasoning and 

36
00:01:25,457 --> 00:01:27,679
the professionalism comes through . But 

37
00:01:27,679 --> 00:01:29,734
when we start to think from the very 

38
00:01:29,734 --> 00:01:31,957
beginning we have greatest structures , 

39
00:01:31,957 --> 00:01:34,179
teaching phenomenal new aviators how to 

40
00:01:34,179 --> 00:01:36,401
put that together and how to build that 

41
00:01:36,401 --> 00:01:38,650
way of thinking so that you can make 

42
00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:40,872
those kinds of decisions that the split 

43
00:01:40,872 --> 00:01:42,928
second when it matters , because the 

44
00:01:42,928 --> 00:01:45,039
reality for your profession is that's 

45
00:01:45,039 --> 00:01:47,170
always how it is . It is always split 

46
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:48,350
second .
