00:00.009 --> 00:01.787
So for the mechanic of the year

00:01.787 --> 00:03.953
competition , we have 10 stations that

00:03.953 --> 00:06.570
cover everything from supply activities

00:06.579 --> 00:08.810
to data management , to repair of wheel

00:08.819 --> 00:11.097
vehicle and power generation equipment .

00:11.097 --> 00:13.263
And then the final station is with the

00:13.263 --> 00:15.710
station we're using uh to identify the

00:15.720 --> 00:17.887
individual mechanic of the year . It's

00:17.887 --> 00:19.720
a written test . Um So they'll ,

00:19.720 --> 00:21.887
they'll set down and they'll , they'll

00:21.887 --> 00:24.109
take a written test and then we're just

00:24.109 --> 00:26.109
going to rack them and stack them ,

00:26.109 --> 00:28.331
whoever scores the highest on that test

00:28.331 --> 00:27.860
is the individual mechanic of the year .

00:27.870 --> 00:30.037
And the teams represent the shops . So

00:30.037 --> 00:31.926
we have multiple shops across the

00:31.926 --> 00:34.148
states that support different regions .

00:34.148 --> 00:36.092
So those , the teams represent the

00:36.092 --> 00:38.148
shops . So the , the , the team that

00:38.148 --> 00:40.259
wins is really the shop that , that ,

00:40.259 --> 00:42.426
that has bragging rights for being the

00:42.426 --> 00:44.592
best shop in the state , the winner of

00:44.592 --> 00:46.814
this competition . Uh We get invited uh

00:46.814 --> 00:49.055
to um Utah for the uh national and ,

00:49.066 --> 00:51.233
and we've won the national competition

00:51.233 --> 00:53.010
the last two years . So , um so

00:53.010 --> 00:55.122
generally speaking , the team that we

00:55.122 --> 00:57.215
pick here represents Oklahoma in the

00:57.226 --> 00:59.282
national competition . And so far we

00:59.282 --> 01:01.226
fared very well at the , we've had

01:01.226 --> 01:03.226
individual and team awards from the

01:03.226 --> 01:05.282
national competition in the last two

01:05.282 --> 01:07.337
years . But what , what I want to do

01:07.337 --> 01:09.504
for the full time workforce is to take

01:09.504 --> 01:11.726
these uh guys that could just come here

01:11.726 --> 01:13.893
and do a job and go home and then show

01:13.893 --> 01:16.111
up at drill and do a job is , is to ,

01:16.122 --> 01:18.178
is to build a passion inside of what

01:18.178 --> 01:20.344
they do here that they can take to the

01:20.344 --> 01:22.511
unit and then make their unit better .

01:22.511 --> 01:24.678
What we're really trying to build is a

01:24.678 --> 01:26.844
group of guys that show up to drill on

01:26.844 --> 01:28.511
drill weekend and are a force

01:28.511 --> 01:30.678
multiplier for that unit when it comes

01:30.678 --> 01:30.152
to maintenance .
