WEBVTT 00:00.610 --> 00:02.388 these past few early mornings , 00:02.388 --> 00:04.554 Technical Sergeant Dotson and his team 00:04.554 --> 00:06.721 have enjoyed the nightly rains here in 00:06.721 --> 00:08.777 rio Colombia as they work to install 00:08.777 --> 00:10.999 the mobile aircraft arresting system or 00:10.999 --> 00:13.221 mosque for the F sixteens participating 00:13.221 --> 00:15.443 in relation to go 21 most of most of my 00:15.443 --> 00:17.388 team . This is the first time that 00:17.388 --> 00:19.443 they've ever done real world install 00:19.443 --> 00:21.666 everything leading up to this point has 00:21.666 --> 00:21.050 been training , training , training , 00:21.060 --> 00:23.282 training along with that training . The 00:23.282 --> 00:25.060 team spent the past five months 00:25.060 --> 00:27.116 planning this installation . But you 00:27.116 --> 00:27.050 know what they say about the best laid 00:27.050 --> 00:29.310 plans were presented with challenges 00:29.490 --> 00:31.379 and obstacles that we could never 00:31.379 --> 00:33.601 imagine . Our engineers have used quite 00:33.601 --> 00:35.590 a bit ingenuity multi developing 00:35.590 --> 00:37.479 multiple plans , working with the 00:37.479 --> 00:39.534 airport authorities , overcoming the 00:39.534 --> 00:41.146 terrain , overcoming airport 00:41.146 --> 00:42.757 restrictions , overcoming an 00:42.757 --> 00:44.979 international airport to be able to get 00:44.979 --> 00:47.201 to the solution so that we can actually 00:47.201 --> 00:49.257 conduct this exercise and train with 00:49.257 --> 00:48.620 our partners encountering and 00:48.620 --> 00:50.731 overcoming these challenges as a part 00:50.731 --> 00:52.620 of what's made this experience so 00:52.620 --> 00:54.676 beneficial for the junior members of 00:54.676 --> 00:56.564 the team fully immersed into this 00:56.564 --> 00:56.210 installation . They've had the 00:56.210 --> 00:58.377 opportunity to learn things they don't 00:58.377 --> 01:00.543 regularly encounter at home station as 01:00.543 --> 01:02.377 my first time being out here and 01:02.377 --> 01:04.377 physically installing the equipment 01:04.377 --> 01:06.599 that we day to day work on and maintain 01:06.599 --> 01:08.821 uh to send for fighters down range . My 01:08.821 --> 01:11.200 main thing was today . See become a 01:11.200 --> 01:13.256 sponge and learn to become a tool as 01:13.256 --> 01:15.256 well . To leave the next thing that 01:15.256 --> 01:17.478 would be able to come out here . It was 01:17.478 --> 01:19.700 really a great experience . And after a 01:19.700 --> 01:21.700 successful test of the system , the 01:21.700 --> 01:23.756 team is rewarded with more than just 01:23.756 --> 01:23.650 the accomplishment of a job . Well done , 01:23.660 --> 01:26.350 but also with a peace of mind . For me , 01:26.360 --> 01:28.416 it's always about saving the pilot's 01:28.416 --> 01:30.527 life and ensuring that they get to go 01:30.527 --> 01:33.350 home to their families from k .
