WEBVTT 00:07.059 --> 00:09.090 We started off with the cargo 00:09.090 --> 00:12.539 operations , but they're required for 00:12.539 --> 00:15.060 building up pallets , doing gates 00:15.060 --> 00:17.171 operations . We have a training gates 00:17.171 --> 00:19.393 here , so none of it affects real world 00:19.393 --> 00:21.449 gates that we use for tracking cargo 00:21.629 --> 00:23.851 along with passengers as well . We went 00:23.851 --> 00:26.620 over that a little bit and then I had 00:26.620 --> 00:30.420 them do a training scenario where they 00:30.420 --> 00:32.587 were loading pellets onto the Highline 00:32.587 --> 00:35.180 dock to simulate a C-130 . And then I 00:35.180 --> 00:37.236 told them the aircraft broke because 00:37.236 --> 00:39.458 this could happen in the real world and 00:39.458 --> 00:39.450 then they had to download the pallets 00:39.909 --> 00:42.020 just to prepare them to run scenarios 00:42.020 --> 00:45.459 by themselves with myself and two other 00:45.459 --> 00:48.299 NCOs to be there to guide them if they 00:48.299 --> 00:50.521 have any questions , but we're going to 00:50.521 --> 00:52.688 be completely hands off with them . We 00:52.688 --> 00:54.743 don't know what's going to happen in 00:54.743 --> 00:54.500 the next day or two , so we always have 00:54.500 --> 00:56.667 to be prepared and trained , and we've 00:56.667 --> 00:58.833 taken these 2 weeks to do that . A lot 00:58.833 --> 01:01.056 of these airmen , they don't have a lot 01:01.056 --> 01:04.250 of experience and so . Trying to give 01:04.250 --> 01:06.361 them as much experience as possible , 01:06.650 --> 01:08.706 especially being at a home station . 01:08.706 --> 01:10.817 The mission may have changed , but it 01:10.817 --> 01:12.928 really hasn't hindered us that much . 01:12.928 --> 01:15.094 We have had to be more adaptive to how 01:15.094 --> 01:17.150 we do our training . Luckily we have 01:17.150 --> 01:19.372 leadership that are in place where they 01:19.372 --> 01:21.261 will request aircraft , and we've 01:21.261 --> 01:23.529 gotten refuelers . We've got C-130s . 01:23.763 --> 01:26.112 To do missions with us so the airmen 01:26.112 --> 01:28.843 can see that , but if we don't have it , 01:28.892 --> 01:30.948 we do have a Highline dock and we do 01:30.948 --> 01:33.242 have a Halverson that we can use as an 01:33.813 --> 01:35.757 opportunity for airmen to simulate 01:35.757 --> 01:37.924 going up to an aircraft and practicing 01:37.924 --> 01:40.146 their loading and downloading . If they 01:40.146 --> 01:42.257 aren't comfortable here , they're not 01:42.257 --> 01:44.424 going to be comfortable deployed , and 01:44.424 --> 01:46.535 that could lead to A hindrance to the 01:46.535 --> 01:48.757 mission . Plans getting delayed , cargo 01:48.757 --> 01:50.869 not going out on time , personnel not 01:50.869 --> 01:53.091 going out on time , and that means that 01:53.091 --> 01:55.424 the mission is not getting accomplished . 01:55.424 --> 01:55.335 So we have to make sure that they're 01:55.335 --> 01:57.391 comfortable here . Let them make the 01:57.391 --> 01:59.613 mistakes , correct it here so that when 01:59.613 --> 02:01.835 they go deploy , they're not relying on 02:01.835 --> 02:04.057 us to do the mission for them . They're 02:04.057 --> 02:07.489 able to do it . Mhm .
