00:00:10,598 --> 00:00:19,690
You know, I’d have to go with, actually, overall, when it comes to climate, culture and our education, the biggest change that I’ve seen, even just personally,

2
00:00:19,690 --> 00:00:30,583
is having folks have a better understanding of what AFSC does when it comes to protecting our national priorities and actually propelling ourselves forward, right?

3
00:00:30,583 --> 00:00:39,165
It’s very easy from the outside to undersell what AFSC is overall delivering to the national defense fight,

4
00:00:39,165 --> 00:00:48,746
but then all of a sudden you start really dissecting that and understanding that aircraft sustainment and be powerful projection platforms,

5
00:00:48,746 --> 00:01:11,146
understanding what’s needed for the next iteration and the next competition, understanding what it means to get it out there to become an agile combat force. All of that is listed under AFSC, even when you look at the MAJCOM mantra for that: “We Do Our Wartime Mission Every Day”…

6
00:01:12,168 --> 00:01:17,708
Nobody does it better than AFSC. Nobody embodies that mantra better than AFSC.

7
00:01:17,708 --> 00:01:29,744
This is where all our war-winning aircrafts, you know, to include legacy aircraft, stay as strong and lethal and, um, and viable as they need to be, right?

8
00:01:29,744 --> 00:01:38,855
And so, you know, we certainly want to say that, uh, that diplomacy is the best way to carry on and to make sure that we protect our national priorities,

9
00:01:38,855 --> 00:01:50,708
but I would venture to say that diplomacy from a position of strength is what really works, and AFSC represents that national strength pretty well.
