1
00:00:10,282 --> 00:00:14,586
So definitely understanding the depots. So, I did not have that understanding,

2
00:00:14,586 --> 00:00:19,837
although being part of the umbrella of AFMC, when I was part of LCMC,

3
00:00:19,837 --> 00:00:25,444
I did not have the knowledge of the other centers, especially the importance of the depots.

4
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:30,824
Coming to the 75th Air Base Wing, you get a very quick understanding.

5
00:00:30,824 --> 00:00:37,307
You can lose a lot of things on an installation, but one thing that you can never lose and never move is that depot.

6
00:00:37,307 --> 00:00:43,796
It’s about a $1 million a day operation that we have to continue to sustain along with all our other mission partners there too.

7
00:00:43,796 --> 00:00:48,279
So definitely understand those 9,000 individuals that come in day-in, day-out

8
00:00:48,279 --> 00:00:49,453
to make that job happen.

9
00:00:49,453 --> 00:00:52,280
And we look forward to continuing that service.

10
00:00:52,652 --> 00:00:56,407
That’s taking advantage of the all the technology that is coming down the pipeline

11
00:00:56,780 --> 00:01:03,449
As fast as our depots are changing to keep up with the technologies of the aircraft, it is just that.

12
00:01:03,449 --> 00:01:07,851
We have to make sure we are advancing the depots in all the technological areas

13
00:01:07,851 --> 00:01:11,999
that we can to make sure we are keeping up with planes like the F-35,

14
00:01:11,999 --> 00:01:18,184
and all the other three carriers that we have, so making sure we can service those planes

15
00:01:18,184 --> 00:01:21,228
in all the ways that we need to.

16
00:01:21,228 --> 00:01:24,516
We just need to make sure we take advantage of the technology available.
