00:00:04,277 --> 00:00:06,290
- [Narrator] (mumbles)

2
00:00:06,290 --> 00:00:08,970
On behalf of presiding officer commander,

Colonel Joshua Padgett

4
00:00:12,410 --> 00:00:14,550
Welcome to the 24th Fighter Squadron

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,310

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,900

15
00:00:38,242 --> 00:00:40,492
(clapping)

16
00:00:42,530 --> 00:00:43,810
we would also like to recognize

17
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:45,097

18
00:00:45,097 --> 00:00:48,730
who are with us today, Commander,
real first Fighter Wing

00:00:48,730 --> 00:00:49,970

Colonel David Edwards.

22
00:00:57,703 --> 00:01:00,090
Additionally, we would like
to extend a warm welcome

23
00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:02,920
all military and civic
leaders, commanders,

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,570
honory commanders, directors,
chiefs, fore sergeants,

25
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:07,720
family and friends,

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,740
and finally the men and women

27
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:11,340
of the real Fighter Wing,

28
00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:14,650
joining us physical or
virtual attendance today.

29
00:01:14,650 --> 00:01:16,050
Thank you all for taking the time

30
00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:17,640
from your busy schedules

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,800
and to share in this special occasion.

32
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,050
(clapping)

33
00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:29,770
The Assumption Command
ceremony is deeply rooted

34
00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:32,180
in military history and
tradition dating back

35
00:01:32,180 --> 00:01:34,270
to at least the 18th century during

36
00:01:34,270 --> 00:01:37,550
the reign of Frederick
the Great King of Prussia.

37
00:01:37,550 --> 00:01:38,383
During that time,

38
00:01:38,383 --> 00:01:41,030
military units developed
organizational flags

39
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:43,461
with unique color
arrangements and symbols.

40
00:01:43,461 --> 00:01:45,830
When warriors followed
their leaders into battle,

41
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:48,720
their flag provided a
distinct visible point around

42
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,340
which unit members could rally during

43
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:52,840
the pandemonium of the battle.

44
00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:56,300
These enable units to assemble

45
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:58,130
an effective mass of force

46
00:01:58,130 --> 00:02:01,000
and wage more effective warfare.

47
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,190
Because of its importance

48
00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:04,470
the flag with guide on became part

49
00:02:04,470 --> 00:02:06,330
of the assumption of command.

50
00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:08,580
We follow that tradition
in today's ceremony.

51
00:02:10,660 --> 00:02:12,610
During the actual assumption of command,

52
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:14,460
only four words are spoken.

53
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:16,140
However with them.

54
00:02:16,140 --> 00:02:19,290
The full responsibility for
the 24th Fighter Squadron

55
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:21,690
is passed to the new commander.

56
00:02:21,690 --> 00:02:23,460
These four words also mark

57
00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:25,440
the beginning for major Busby.

58
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,170
This is the start of the challenging

59
00:02:27,170 --> 00:02:28,273
and exciting tour.

60
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,833
Ladies and gentlemen,

61
00:02:30,833 --> 00:02:32,220
please stand for the entrance

62
00:02:32,220 --> 00:02:35,120
of the official party, playing
of the national anthem,

63
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,760
and the invocation by the real
first Fighter Wing Chaplain,

64
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,410
Lieutenant Colonel Mark McDaniel.

65
00:02:57,417 --> 00:03:00,917
(bright orchestral music)

66
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:13,083
Chaplain Mark McDaniel will
now provide the invocation.

67
00:04:13,950 --> 00:04:15,300
- Please join me in prayer.

68
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:18,800
Oh God of heaven and the nations,

69
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,620
we praise and exalt you to say for you

70
00:04:21,620 --> 00:04:22,680
to spread out the heavens

71
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,780
and know each and every one of us by name.

72
00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:28,820
You raise up and label
all those in authority.

73
00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:31,210
He who's potentates the rules,

74
00:04:31,210 --> 00:04:32,910
you allow nations to rise

75
00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:36,173
and fall by that divine
inscrutable provenance.

76
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:38,340
We praise you this morning,

77
00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:39,840
for the new 24th Fighter Squadron

78
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:41,240
Commander named Ryan Busbey.

79
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:44,057
Your Word says in Romans 13:1

80
00:04:44,057 --> 00:04:46,047
"for there's no power
but of God powers for he

81
00:04:46,047 --> 00:04:48,960
"to be ordained of God."

82
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,700
We pray for a special dispensation

83
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:53,790
of grace, of wisdom and mercy upon him

84
00:04:53,790 --> 00:04:56,250
as he assumes command today.

85
00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:57,870
We would ask prayer of his heart to be

86
00:04:57,870 --> 00:04:59,810
that of Solomon, who
when asked by the Lord,

87
00:04:59,810 --> 00:05:00,643
what he would want

88
00:05:00,643 --> 00:05:03,650
on being crowned king
of the nation of Israel.

89
00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:05,630
Solomon replied give,
therefore, thy servant

90
00:05:05,630 --> 00:05:07,602
an understanding heart to judge like

91
00:05:07,602 --> 00:05:08,439
(mumbles)

92
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:10,850
that I may discern between good and bad,

93
00:05:10,850 --> 00:05:13,413
or who is able to judge
this so great people.

94
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:18,150
This promotion is a reminder
that any authority or power,

95
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:20,533
which we may possess
is loan to us from you.

96
00:05:21,790 --> 00:05:24,170
May you keep your words in his heart,

97
00:05:24,170 --> 00:05:27,750
cause him to seek your Holy
word for guidance and direction.

98
00:05:27,750 --> 00:05:29,600
And he gets trust and reliance being

99
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,700
the one who orders all things.

100
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,940
According to his good pleasure,

101
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:36,649
may the administration of his
duties be tempered by mercy,

102
00:05:36,649 --> 00:05:39,430
grace and a mindset of
understanding serving

103
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:42,823
the holiness of his office
and the needs of his people.

104
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,810
Touch his family, his mother Kathy,

105
00:05:45,810 --> 00:05:48,980
his wife Laura, his two
children in a mighty way to stay

106
00:05:48,980 --> 00:05:51,380
and strengthen them as they support him

107
00:05:51,380 --> 00:05:53,033
and as he assumes this command.

108
00:05:54,090 --> 00:05:56,700
As always, we lift up our
brothers and sisters in arms

109
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:59,490
who are serving around the
globe at this very moment.

110
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:00,480
May they and their families

111
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,530
be mindful of your perpetual presence

112
00:06:02,530 --> 00:06:04,940
and loving care for their lives.

113
00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:07,240
We pray for peace but until that day comes

114
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,400
when source will be beaten into plowshares

115
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,700
and lion will lay down with the land.

116
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:13,660
We asked for resolve as we prepare for

117
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:15,523
and execute the dreaded acts of war.

118
00:06:16,430 --> 00:06:18,020
Until that glorious day of peace,

119
00:06:18,020 --> 00:06:21,310
we ask you to grant us victory
of the Lord over our enemies

120
00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:24,053
and those who oppose your
divine justice and will.

121
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:27,206
We also pray for our
world at this pestilence,

122
00:06:27,206 --> 00:06:30,120
our wrong doing soon be eradicated.

123
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,980
And we asked for thy grace to abound

124
00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:34,430
towards our medical
scientific professionals

125
00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:35,943
as they strive towards a cure.

126
00:06:37,190 --> 00:06:40,270
Above all, we praise and
magnify you above all things.

127
00:06:40,270 --> 00:06:41,500
Glory to you in the highest

128
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:42,770
and make your peace, holiness

129
00:06:42,770 --> 00:06:45,390
and justice extend throughout the earth.

130
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:48,520
And may the eyes of Texas be
upon all of your gathered.

131
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,173
We pray all this in your
most Holy name, Amen.

132
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,210
- Thank you Chaplain Daniel.

133
00:06:56,210 --> 00:06:58,233
Ladies, gentlemen, please be seated.

134
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:03,333
Ladies and gentlemen,

135
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:06,610
our presiding officer
Colonel Joshua Padgett.

136
00:07:06,610 --> 00:07:08,860
(clapping)

137
00:07:15,530 --> 00:07:16,990
- First off, let me say thanks

138
00:07:16,990 --> 00:07:19,820
and welcome to the first
Fighter Wing leadership team

139
00:07:19,820 --> 00:07:21,160
that's attending this special event

140
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,313
to honor Major Ryan Busbey,

141
00:07:23,313 --> 00:07:28,160
his family, his friends in
the 24th Fighter Squadron.

142
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,327
(mumbles)

143
00:07:31,940 --> 00:07:36,000
24th Fighter Squadron enlisted
leaders, Mr. Rob Clan.

144
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,700
Thank you guys all for being here.

145
00:07:38,648 --> 00:07:39,900
I also want to say a special thanks

146
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:43,060
to Captain Lucas Guthrie
Tech Sergent Destiny's random

147
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:46,100
Katelyn McDaniel and the entire PA team

148
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:47,400
for putting this together.

149
00:07:48,290 --> 00:07:50,100
Mark there are very few people

150
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:52,120
that could weave in the words inscrutable

151
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,560
and potentate into the same
sentence in an opening prayer.

152
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,393
You're a master.

153
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,210
Although he's not seated up front.

154
00:08:01,210 --> 00:08:03,813
I'd also like to recognize
major short note.

155
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:05,670
As most of you guys know,

156
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:07,160
when the Lieutenant Colonel Forney McKeith

157
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,220
retired in March,

158
00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:09,460
a little bit early and we had,

159
00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:12,090
we didn't have the expected overlap,

160
00:08:12,090 --> 00:08:15,370
sort assume the duties of the
24 Fighter Squadron commander,

161
00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:19,230
he did a superb job, despite
some significant challenges

162
00:08:19,230 --> 00:08:21,770
with this social distancing
you see here today

163
00:08:21,770 --> 00:08:23,910
in the lack of people that are here,

164
00:08:23,910 --> 00:08:26,040
so on behalf of the three

165
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,490
of first Fighter Wing leadership team,

166
00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:29,720
along with the millions

167
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,560
that are undoubtedly watching
right now via Facebook Live.

168
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:36,780
I wanna say a heartfelt thanks
to you for your hard work.

169
00:08:36,780 --> 00:08:38,820
And we wish you Godspeed at IEE.

170
00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:39,653
Thank you.

171
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,110
And now I want to recognize
and also more importantly,

172
00:08:44,110 --> 00:08:47,330
say welcome to some other
very important guests

173
00:08:47,330 --> 00:08:49,930
to rose more on Kathy, Mrs. Kathy.

174
00:08:49,930 --> 00:08:52,690
I know you're very proud of
all that your son has become.

175
00:08:52,690 --> 00:08:54,660
I hope you realize that you had one

176
00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:58,150
of the most significant roles
imaginable in molding him

177
00:08:58,150 --> 00:09:01,780
as an adult and also as an officer,

178
00:09:01,780 --> 00:09:03,180
I'll wager there were many times

179
00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:05,560
when you thought your
efforts were unnoticed.

180
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:08,170
Let me assure you that they were not.

181
00:09:08,170 --> 00:09:10,360
Although sometimes unacknowledged.

182
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,010
our mother's encouragement,

183
00:09:12,010 --> 00:09:13,840
or calming demeanor,

184
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,420
or unwavering confidence
in her children's ability

185
00:09:17,420 --> 00:09:20,343
are cherished for a lifetime milestones.

186
00:09:22,050 --> 00:09:26,610
To Laura, Roco, his wonderful
wife, welcome back to Texas.

187
00:09:26,610 --> 00:09:29,700
You certainly had a hand in
this man's success as well.

188
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:32,860
I want to thank you for
enduring the deployments,

189
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:34,130
the long hours,

190
00:09:34,130 --> 00:09:37,050
the late night debriefs
in the early morning sound

191
00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:40,493
of Velcro being transferred
from one flight seat to another.

192
00:09:41,390 --> 00:09:42,700
I want to thank you in advance

193
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:45,180
for all you will most certainly do,

194
00:09:45,180 --> 00:09:48,100
as the 24th Fighter Squadron personally,

195
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:51,460
there are no words, no
appropriate description

196
00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:54,590
that can hope to convey
the importance of a loving

197
00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:55,740
and understanding wife.

198
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,633
To Roco's daughters, Zoe, and Abigail.

199
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,740
Girls, I want you both
to know that your daddy

200
00:10:03,740 --> 00:10:06,930
has been selected for
a very important job.

201
00:10:06,930 --> 00:10:08,523
He is a very important man.

202
00:10:09,370 --> 00:10:13,500
He's going to be working very
hard over the next few years.

203
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:16,910
When he comes home,
sometimes he may be tired.

204
00:10:16,910 --> 00:10:20,603
On some days, he may even be
cranky and a little whiny.

205
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:24,393
He will need lots of
hugs and kisses from you.

206
00:10:26,030 --> 00:10:31,030
He should also bring
you home candy every day

207
00:10:31,310 --> 00:10:32,750
and you should be able to eat

208
00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:35,470
as much of it as you want.

209
00:10:35,470 --> 00:10:36,370
Whenever you want.

210
00:10:37,340 --> 00:10:39,740
If it doesn't work out
this way you let me know.

211
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,033
Roco, you're a native Texan.

212
00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:48,060
You're back home, about
to be a Squadron Commander

213
00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:49,010
in your home state.

214
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:54,020
You have a mind boggling
five, back to back,

215
00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:58,550
F 16s assignments already under your belt

216
00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:59,890
and you now begin a sixth

217
00:11:00,910 --> 00:11:01,913
with no staffers,

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,133
this must be a dream realized for you.

219
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,210
We have absolute
confidence in your ability

220
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:09,910
to handle any challenge.

221
00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:11,810
and in only a few hours
of talking with you

222
00:11:11,810 --> 00:11:13,280
and getting to know you

223
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,230
I have no doubt that your calm

224
00:11:15,230 --> 00:11:17,220
and even keeled approach will continue

225
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:19,810
to serve you well as a Squadron Commander.

226
00:11:19,810 --> 00:11:21,200
You are a perfect fit

227
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,223
for our unit culture here in Fort Worth.

228
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:25,990
Having seen the Squadron transition

229
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:28,700
to the TFI concept over a decade ago,

230
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,900
I can say it's been a tremendous game

231
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,000
for the 457 Fighter Squadron,

232
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,720
the 24th Fighter Squadron

233
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,370
and the three of first Operations Group.

234
00:11:37,370 --> 00:11:40,820
The Reserve is culture
brings wisdom and experience

235
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:43,520
that's a euphemism for
a bunch of old guys.

236
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,610
The active duty culture

237
00:11:44,610 --> 00:11:47,910
of the 24th Fighter Squadron
brings youth and vigor.

238
00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:49,410
It's a symbiotic relationship.

239
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:53,260
Those that have had the misfortune

240
00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:55,170
of hearing me give a change of command

241
00:11:55,170 --> 00:11:56,210
and retirement speech

242
00:11:56,210 --> 00:11:59,250
will be expecting Winston Churchill quote

243
00:11:59,250 --> 00:12:00,823
and I will not dis point.

244
00:12:01,740 --> 00:12:03,860
Today will be no exception,

245
00:12:03,860 --> 00:12:07,120
that most cherished of
iconic British leaders

246
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,400
once posted on Instagram,

247
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,837
and I quote,

248
00:12:10,837 --> 00:12:13,547
"If only I were a century younger,

249
00:12:13,547 --> 00:12:15,657
"and a United States citizen,

250
00:12:15,657 --> 00:12:18,757
"I would have hoped,
perhaps against all odds

251
00:12:18,757 --> 00:12:21,007
"to one day command the men and women

252
00:12:21,007 --> 00:12:23,417
"of their greatness TFI unit in the combat

253
00:12:23,417 --> 00:12:27,467
"or versus the 24th Fighter
Squadron at Fort Worth, Texas."

254
00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:31,070
Maj. Ryan Roco Busbey,

255
00:12:31,070 --> 00:12:32,410
this is not a dream.

256
00:12:32,410 --> 00:12:34,350
You have reached a pinnacle.

257
00:12:34,350 --> 00:12:35,800
This is quite an achievement.

258
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,950
You are back home and you
are about to assume commanded

259
00:12:38,950 --> 00:12:41,640
an outstanding Squadron of 200

260
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,480
of the Air Force's best and brightest.

261
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,310
They are ready to go to work.

262
00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:48,440
We are ready to work alongside you

263
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,516
and continuing our heralded legacy

264
00:12:50,516 --> 00:12:52,760
of providing combat airpower

265
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,050
to the greatest nation on Earth.

266
00:12:55,050 --> 00:12:57,930
Congratulations, and
Godspeed as you endeavor

267
00:12:57,930 --> 00:12:59,770
to leave this unit in a manner

268
00:12:59,770 --> 00:13:02,420
that is befitting its rich history,

269
00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:03,483
and its reputation.

270
00:13:03,483 --> 00:13:06,102
Let's make an efficient.

271

spoken about me in public

284
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:17,600
without telling that

for being the Presiding Officer today

313
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,170
as it's extremely symbolic

314
00:15:32,170 --> 00:15:36,220
and how it fits into
battle field's mission

315
00:15:36,220 --> 00:15:38,033
and overall Air Force lines.

316
00:15:40,350 --> 00:15:41,346
Yoda thanks for showing up, you,

317
00:15:41,346 --> 00:15:45,470
when I showed up in March

318
00:15:45,470 --> 00:15:47,943
you were here you know for authorities.

319
00:15:49,676 --> 00:15:50,700
Here always support the spooler

320
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,424
that's what he told me
so I appreciate that.

321
00:15:53,424 --> 00:15:56,017
I look forward to continuing that as well.

322
00:15:58,070 --> 00:16:00,090
Hernan Massaro, that's probably watching

323
00:16:00,090 --> 00:16:01,750
in South Carolina right now,

324
00:16:01,750 --> 00:16:03,190
thank you for an opportunity

325
00:16:03,190 --> 00:16:05,730
to command an extremely diverse Squadron

326
00:16:05,730 --> 00:16:08,320
with an extremely diverse link within

327
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,790
the two four exist professionals
from 28 different FSCs.

328
00:16:14,183 --> 00:16:17,183
I'm not the expert on any of those FSCs.

329
00:16:18,670 --> 00:16:21,550
And I have a lot to learn
in a short amount of time,

330
00:16:21,550 --> 00:16:22,990
however, thank you for the trust

331
00:16:22,990 --> 00:16:25,403
to lead such an elite in diversity.

332
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,320
Thanks to all my former commanders

333
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,590
and countless other mentor supervisors,

334
00:16:30,590 --> 00:16:32,580
senior NCO, peers and subordinates

335
00:16:32,580 --> 00:16:33,630
for not giving up on me

336
00:16:33,630 --> 00:16:35,583
and steer me in the right direction.

337
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,074
I'm no stranger to failure.

338
00:16:38,074 --> 00:16:41,110
You're always granted me
the trust to succeed or fail

339
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:44,110
and an opportunity to
learn from each place

340
00:16:44,110 --> 00:16:46,363
to soar in that leadership team.

341
00:16:50,420 --> 00:16:53,066
You know, since I left a lot of things

342
00:16:53,066 --> 00:16:54,650
that you guys have kind of carried

343
00:16:54,650 --> 00:16:57,000
the ball I picked it up in your brain.

344
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,955
So thank you for doing that

345
00:16:59,955 --> 00:17:04,955
and I don't know if 30 plan
is retirement any better.

346
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,000
So you don't know for doing that

347
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,881
but thank you for your leadership as

348
00:17:08,881 --> 00:17:10,733
the two fours in our team.

349
00:17:12,647 --> 00:17:13,590
So fellow commanders

350
00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:16,830
and leaders present today
within the 45th Fighter Group

351
00:17:16,830 --> 00:17:18,440

353
00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:21,520

and thank you in advance

355
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,240
for your patience in our future endeavors

356
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,640
as I am relatively new to
managing the challenges

357
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,970
of a geographically separated unit,

358
00:17:30,970 --> 00:17:33,703
in addition to the reserve we learn.

359
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:37,699
Thanks to my mom who's here today,

360
00:17:37,699 --> 00:17:39,030
you're setting a positive example

361
00:17:39,030 --> 00:17:41,460
of just kind of echoing
Colonel cabinets words,

362
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:45,130
they're passing in the values out today.

363
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:46,520
Thanks for getting me through problems,

364
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,520
which is endless opportunities
for me for me step in today.

365
00:17:51,850 --> 00:17:54,270
You are the most resilient
person I've ever known

366
00:17:54,270 --> 00:17:56,860
and you've taught me that
resilience street comes

367
00:17:56,860 --> 00:17:58,103
from a powerful guy.

368
00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:02,270
Thanks to my dad for
instilling a strong work ethic

369
00:18:02,270 --> 00:18:04,200
and never give up attitude,

370
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,410
has paid off tremendously
enabled me to get to this point

371
00:18:07,410 --> 00:18:10,523
and I know he's looking down
on us today with proud smile.

372
00:18:12,570 --> 00:18:15,340
Thanks to my wife, Laura,
daughters Abby and Zoe

373
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:18,120
for being my rock and supporting
me through this career,

374
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:21,210
it's been a marathon adventure for sure.

375
00:18:21,210 --> 00:18:23,140
It's not easy moving and leaving friends

376
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:24,817
as often as we do.

377
00:18:24,817 --> 00:18:27,670
But I know you will integrate
with our new team for family

378
00:18:27,670 --> 00:18:29,720
and friends and make them your own despite

379
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,973
the social distancing
challenges we face today.

380
00:18:33,870 --> 00:18:35,970
Plus for Laura, we move right next to

381
00:18:35,970 --> 00:18:37,490
(mumbles)

382
00:18:37,490 --> 00:18:39,693
so I think you owe me anyway.

383
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:43,990
Lastly to the professional men and women

384
00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:46,048
at the two four, I'll join your team

385
00:18:46,048 --> 00:18:48,810
and miss some great world challenges.

386
00:18:48,810 --> 00:18:51,240
Not only do we face
nuclear adversaries waiting

387
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,670
for an opportunity to expand

388
00:18:52,670 --> 00:18:54,690
their influence across the world.

389
00:18:54,690 --> 00:18:56,980
We do that in the face
of a pandemic, a coven,

390
00:18:56,980 --> 00:18:58,253
and racial disparity,

391
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:01,820
I mean, I don't have
answers for those challenges

392
00:19:01,820 --> 00:19:04,250
and ask your patients
as we execute research

393
00:19:04,250 --> 00:19:06,760
and open dialogues to develop the correct

394
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,080
and just path for the men and women

395
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,560
that would see forth in the Air Force.

396
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,340
Several hours, challenging
international norms

397
00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:16,894
of amidst pandemics speaks volumes

398
00:19:16,894 --> 00:19:19,180
to their unwavering engine,

399
00:19:19,180 --> 00:19:22,740
as many service members have
done before you the prep,

400
00:19:22,740 --> 00:19:25,370
the professionals of the
two force stand directly on

401
00:19:25,370 --> 00:19:27,920
their way of accomplishing an agenda.

402
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,139
You sharpen the spirit
of day in and day out,

403
00:19:30,139 --> 00:19:32,900
and our nation will
continue to ask us to do so

404
00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:35,920
to protect our democracy and freedoms.

405
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,890
From an outsider's perspective looking

406
00:19:37,890 --> 00:19:41,750
in just over my short time
looking at the squatter,

407
00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:43,750
observing what you do, you're setting

408
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:47,290
the Air Force example for
total force integration.

409
00:19:47,290 --> 00:19:50,020
I look forward to working
for you to maintain

410
00:19:50,020 --> 00:19:52,520
