 Red Flag right now is as challenging as it's ever been. The reality is that the threats are growing in tremendous ways, and to keep up with those requires that we continue to accelerate change. Seeing it all for the first time, it really hit my heart. It's almost surreal getting here and I'm completely honored and grateful that I get to be a part of this mission. Red Flag came about to make sure that our fighter pilots survived their first 10 combat sorties. And they found over time that if we can have the most advanced, most complicated training and we can make those lessons and errors here in our training environment, then we're more survivable when we go to combat. So Red Flag is important for the Vermont team as this is our capstone event to sort of prove everything that we've been training for over the past couple years has taken effect the training, the flying and everything and we're good to go both on the off side as well as the maintenance side. And essentially we're ready to support the federal mission if we need to be deployed. So we're the only Air National Guard unit squadron out here at Red Flag in this 21-3 joint U.S. only flag and we are transitioning to fight to the peer adversary. So we're fighting against the best we can train out here. So we're fighting with F-22s with another F-35 squadron that's never been done before out of Red Flag. We're also fighting with our F-16s, combining that with the SEED mission. We're protecting with our escort role both B-2s and B-52s and also some strikers and some warrants out here for us. This is my first Red Flag so it's a bit unlike any other training that I've ever done. It's really helped me personally with my team and build relationships with each other. Not only relationships but it's enhanced our skills as maintainers as well. Well this whole exercise is perfect for me because I'm just getting out of tech school and I just finished up some training in Burlington and I'm actually lucky to be here today. This spot just happened to open up for me and it's nice being out here in a different environment, seeing other types of aircraft. I like the experience that we're getting here. Huge privilege to be out here and this is really our test to see how well we can do with these new F-35s and go out here we do our job but we enjoy doing it. And that's why I've loved every year that I've been in and I'm looking forward to the next 12 or however long that may be. The training is going great for both our fighter pilots and for the maintenance team. So we haven't lost any stories to maintenance, they've given us the jets we needed on time, every time. We're flying 10 of our 20 jets, we brought 14 out here but we're sending up 10 fronts. It's been spectacular that Vermont National Guard already for the first week has highlighted that we're there. We're ready, we're ready to be used to go to combat.
