 A.J. Dua with the 48th OSS and the 480 Second Fighter Squadron. This is currently my second time at Inyo Hosts, 2022. My first time was back in 2016, based out of here at Adin Draveda. Most parts are the same as far as the desired learning objectives. The airspace is relatively similar. The players for the most part are similar. I think there's a couple more added countries, so the Canadians as far as C2 goes, as well as the Slovenians being here. So that's out of those two. For the most part, the same players, same type of mission sets, just more variance as far as aircraft. I've been a fighter pilot now for about nine years, so April 2013 was the first flight in the F-15E. I've been flying it ever since. As the day-to-day operations, we've got three missionized vulnerability periods or bowls that we plan to. That's the big mission planning between all the countries, taking off at different times of the day, plus a side mission, so a little bit more of just continuity training between the countries out here, not as formal as the NPCs. As far as the mission sets that we've been flying, they've been a predominance of air interdiction, so I think air-to-ground strike, the suppression of enemy air defenses, so thinking surface-to-air missile takedown from the air, combat search and rescue, some maritime operations, as well as some air-to-air escort to ensure that we can get the players in. Each bowl is a little bit different as far as the mission set and the priority, but for the most part, those are the things we've centered around what we've been doing around here. We've been flying with, obviously, the Hellenic Air Forces and a large predominance of their aircraft that are here. We've had the Israelis last week, as well as the Italians, and then we've also had the Slovenians and then Canadian C2 controllers here, as well as ourselves. The thing for me is, seeing this country, it's kind of ancient history with warriors thinking about Athens, Greece, Sparta, etc., and being able to fly in those same mountains around the Peloponnes, seeing the hot gates from the air and then traveling on the ground. It's been pretty cool and eye-opening, for the most part, and yeah, it's been pretty cool. The biggest piece of advice I'd give to guys and girls who are coming to a new host next year for 23, first off, take advantage of the NPC opportunities that you have to plan with your actual NATO partners, do a little bit of learning from them, kind of listen to what they have to say, and then still share your piece of advice that you have for the tactical solution to the problem that you have at hand. But for the most part, it is a learning experience between both countries, because obviously they have a different threat that they usually trade against to, a different way of thinking, advice what we do, but for the most part I think that there's been good learning going on, too, and from, and they've obviously been receptive, and we have been, too, to learning from each other. We have, you know, multiple aircraft, multiple flap forms. We usually see this, like, similar to a red flag, where you go somewhere, and you see other Americans are flying different platforms, and you know, you walk in, and I'm an F-15 guy, that's an F-16 guy, you know, we have a slight rivalry, if you will. It's the same that holds true here, just the fact that they're Greek, or Hellenic, or Israeli, or Slovenian, et cetera. I think it's pretty cool that you have people that all have, relatively speaking, the same type of personalities, the same type of drive to get the mission done, whether it be a different method or a different point of view, and you learn and appreciate those guys more so just by sharing the fact that you've been planning and flying with each other. So the friendships come very, very quickly, as well as the knowledge of each other's capabilities, which is actually pretty cool to see after a week-long of mission planning and just kind of hanging out with the guys and girls.
