1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,696 So valiant shield 22 provides just a 3 00:00:08,696 --> 00:00:10,807 great environment for the squadron to 4 00:00:10,807 --> 00:00:12,918 operate in . It allows us to train in 5 00:00:12,918 --> 00:00:14,918 that joint real world environment , 6 00:00:14,918 --> 00:00:16,973 which we're gonna have in the future 7 00:00:16,973 --> 00:00:19,710 fight . So moving from Ukraine to Guam 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,831 helps the squadron out in proficiency 9 00:00:21,831 --> 00:00:25,500 and readiness across the board . First 10 00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:27,650 things , logistics is a huge one . So 11 00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:29,761 even though we're out here , it helps 12 00:00:29,761 --> 00:00:31,761 the squadron get ready to basically 13 00:00:31,761 --> 00:00:33,706 pack up , deploy , setup , execute 14 00:00:33,706 --> 00:00:36,830 operations and then redeploy back . It 15 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,062 gets the unit used to operating in that 16 00:00:39,062 --> 00:00:41,430 environment , gets each of the 17 00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:43,486 individual departments outside their 18 00:00:43,486 --> 00:00:45,541 comfort zone . So instead of dealing 19 00:00:45,541 --> 00:00:47,763 with the same people every day , you're 20 00:00:47,763 --> 00:00:47,730 now dealing with joint and civilian 21 00:00:47,980 --> 00:00:49,924 other places . So they're gonna be 22 00:00:49,924 --> 00:00:51,924 moving around to different things , 23 00:00:51,924 --> 00:00:53,924 talking with different people . And 24 00:00:53,924 --> 00:00:56,091 then from the aircrew perspective , we 25 00:00:56,091 --> 00:00:58,313 have some unique training opportunities 26 00:00:58,313 --> 00:00:58,260 with the range is available in Guam 27 00:00:58,270 --> 00:01:01,180 that we don't have any . I think what 28 00:01:01,180 --> 00:01:03,069 makes the hawks grade is just the 29 00:01:03,069 --> 00:01:05,291 individual marines and sailors . Um you 30 00:01:05,291 --> 00:01:07,458 know , the squadron has been very busy 31 00:01:07,458 --> 00:01:09,680 and they come to work and they put 100% 32 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,590 in every single day . 5 33 was on UdP 33 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,711 really less than a year and they were 34 00:01:14,711 --> 00:01:16,822 gone more than they've been home with 35 00:01:16,822 --> 00:01:18,890 their families . But with that , you 36 00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:20,890 know , I come in every day , always 37 00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:22,940 have a smile on their face , Always 38 00:01:22,940 --> 00:01:25,590 motivated . They're ready out there . 39 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:27,701 They're focused on the mission . They 40 00:01:27,701 --> 00:01:29,479 know why we're here and they're 41 00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:29,460 dedicated to doing that
