 I'm Massar and Timothy Rousseau with the 435th Continuity Response Squadron stationed out of Rammstein, Germany. I'm the aircraft maintenance flight chief and today we're here at Lake and Heath to get the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter hot-pick qualification and why this is so important is it allows our combat commanders gives them another capability and with that capability we can hot-pick their aircraft in contested and non-contested environments. Our wing itself has 1,300 airmen stationed at 26 locations so anytime if they need us they can deploy us within that 72 hours and even before by attacking these getting these different qualifications we've been doing the ACE and the MCA thing for a while the CR that is what we do which is important to understand is that most of our technicians for the CR CRS is heavy aircraft technicians so we're C-17, C-5s and C-130s. So for us to be going after F-15 hot-pick certifications, 16s and now the 35 is a huge deal and we're also MQ-9 as the only CR and the new safety and possibly the Air Force that has seven airframes underneath it. That is a huge capability for those combat commanders. The 48th fighter wing has been instrumental for us they've got us in these classes basically teaching us from apprentice all the way up which is huge because we've never touched these aircraft before so they're teaching us what the safety zones are they're walking us through this we're running through hot-pick dry runs probably 15-20 times before we even touch an aircraft so we do that with all these aircrafts and the 48th has been always welcoming us back which is huge huge partnership in that and I couldn't thank them enough for it. I want people to keep this in mind too the 435th continuously response squadron only has 13 technicians and we're doing all these airframes with that and a lot of our leadership supports us from all the way to the wing up and that's why we're considered the follow me wing and we're first to fight.
