1
00:00:10,695 --> 00:00:17,170
So, I’ve been on Tinker Air Force Base for almost 30 years now, so a long time,

2
00:00:17,170 --> 00:00:24,700
and I’ve seen the Center come when it got here 10 years ago and I think it was a great move.

3
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:31,532
There’s been a lot of changes that have happened since then as far as Information Protection goes.

4
00:00:31,532 --> 00:00:35,576
When Sustainment Center stood up, Information Protection was dual-hatted

5
00:00:35,576 --> 00:00:43,148
with the Air Base Wing, and the Air Base Wing chief in Information Protection was also the director of Information Protection for the Sustainment Center.

6
00:00:43,148 --> 00:00:47,914
We’ve since gotten that job separated out and its two different jobs.

7
00:00:47,914 --> 00:00:54,058
So, uh, stood up a new Information Protection office underneath the Sustainment Center

8
00:00:54,058 --> 00:00:58,027
and I think its great stuff that we’re going to be doing.

9
00:00:58,027 --> 00:01:02,612
The future looks bright for Information Protection. I think we’re going to be doing great things

10
00:01:02,612 --> 00:01:07,752
and sustained leadership is what makes Sustainment Center work.

11
00:01:08,745 --> 00:01:12,700
So, I work real closely with all of the other centers within the AFMC

12
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:21,709
Information Protection Centers, whether it is LCMC or Nuke Weapons Center, we all work very close with each other.

13
00:01:21,709 --> 00:01:33,646
All the Center IT guys work close with each other. We collaborate all the time. And within the Air Force Sustainment Center, the three bases collaborate weekly.

14
00:01:33,646 --> 00:01:37,491
We have weekly telecoms and we bounce things off of each other.

15
00:01:37,491 --> 00:01:41,232
If one thing’s happened at Tinker, I can almost promise you that it has

16
00:01:41,232 --> 00:01:44,177
happened at Robins and at Hill. They may not know it yet,

17
00:01:44,177 --> 00:01:48,534
but if they dig into it they will find out it’s happening there. So, whether it be good or bad.

18
00:01:48,534 --> 00:01:54,729
So, a lot of collaboration. I think that’s what centers have done for us.

19
00:01:54,729 --> 00:02:03,614
Is it has increased our collaboration. When it was, I think we had 13 or 14 centers before the five center construct,

20
00:02:03,614 --> 00:02:08,346
 you didn’t know who any of the other centers… you never collaborated with any other centers.

21
00:02:08,346 --> 00:02:13,522
Now we talk all the time. Now AFMC, the five centers, we talk a lot.

22
00:02:13,522 --> 00:02:19,687
So that collaboration is invaluable. We fix things all the time.

23
00:02:20,887 --> 00:02:24,847
Absolutely. Collaboration is great! That’s what makes Sustainment work.

24
00:02:24,847 --> 00:02:28,077
We’ve all got to work together as a team.

25
00:02:28,077 --> 00:02:35,160
This Sustainment Center, Nuke Weapons Center…all of us. It all makes the whole thing work.
