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


2
00:00:05,750 --> 00:00:07,989
So yesterday we got a flight request to 

3
00:00:07,989 --> 00:00:10,470
support an Air Force special operations 

4
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:13,149
unit at Fort Chaffey . Uh , their 

5
00:00:13,149 --> 00:00:15,500
mission was to conduct pear drop 

6
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:18,670
operations . They did static line jumps 

7
00:00:18,670 --> 00:00:20,709
and free fall jumps out of our 

8
00:00:20,709 --> 00:00:24,260
helicopter . So our role in the guard 

9
00:00:24,260 --> 00:00:26,371
in Oklahoma guard , uh , it's kind of 

10
00:00:26,371 --> 00:00:29,459
twofold . Uh , those guys need aviation 

11
00:00:29,459 --> 00:00:31,681
platforms to conduct their training and 

12
00:00:31,681 --> 00:00:33,939
qualifications , and we need people to 

13
00:00:33,939 --> 00:00:35,717
con to conduct our training and 

14
00:00:35,717 --> 00:00:38,119
qualifications , so . As far as working 

15
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:40,230
with Air Force or any other branch of 

16
00:00:40,230 --> 00:00:42,680
service , it's one thing to , to read a 

17
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,736
procedure , but it's , uh , you gain 

18
00:00:44,736 --> 00:00:46,902
the most experience of , uh , when you 

19
00:00:46,902 --> 00:00:49,590
get firsthand contact . And it's little 

20
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:52,659
things like communication , um . Their 

21
00:00:52,659 --> 00:00:54,659
standard terminology and phrases or 

22
00:00:54,659 --> 00:00:56,937
hand signals may be different than our , 

23
00:00:56,937 --> 00:00:58,881
uh , but once you get down to that 

24
00:00:58,881 --> 00:01:01,215
level and that those intricacies and um . 

25
00:01:01,215 --> 00:01:03,270
It , it helps a lot for us to go out 

26
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:05,437
and conduct missions and then we can , 

27
00:01:05,437 --> 00:01:07,603
we can go anywhere in the world really 

28
00:01:07,603 --> 00:01:09,548
and , and , uh , and conduct those 

29
00:01:09,548 --> 00:01:11,437
missions , not just in a training 

30
00:01:11,437 --> 00:01:13,381
environment but uh like a deploy a 

31
00:01:13,381 --> 00:01:13,099
deployed environment too so .
