 Hi, I'm Captain Jeremiah Gray. I am the maintenance operations officer here at the Hickam in route maintenance unit. Recently we had the opportunity to host the C-5 ground trainer here at Hickam Air Force Base. This is a great resource for our airmen, especially considering at most in route units you don't get this type of opportunity too often having a locating C-5 on the ground. This helps with our multi-capable airmen initiative to help generate a stronger skill set for each individual and this also gives us opportunities to have an airmen ready for any type of tasking whether that's an expeditionary tasking or a sustainment tasking here at Hickam Air Force Base depending on what comes down the line. My name is technical sergeant Brandon Scott. I'm the electrician RTC instructor. RTC is a regional training center so we're the training center for all of the in route stations in the Pacific Region of the Air Force. It is obviously the largest aircraft in the Air Force fleet. It carries the most payload so it's utilized on a daily basis almost so we want to bring that aircraft in. We want to get these guys trained whether it be here in Hawaii or in Guam or in Dakota. They know how to do their job safely, effectively and on time. I'm very new to this airframe the C-5 and the C-17. For me having this training is very key to learn a little bit more and you know our trainers right now they're doing a great job of giving us extra information like just tips for any kind of job we have out here in the line. Master Sergeant Zayler from the 735. I'm a section chief. These ground trainers give us an opportunity to get after some of the bigger tasks. They're difficult for all the aircrafts out on a mission. Additionally we're able to get some of the joint-based agencies involved that help us support C-5 operations such as the fire department, EOD, the aeromedical evacuation squadron. This is honestly one of my favorite airframes in the Air Force. Doing BPO inspections and stuff like that in the gears is no problem. You know you got so much leg room so it's perfect. Right now we're training the guys and girls here at Hickam but Anderson Air Force Base down at Guam they did send a few people up to be trained and also in Alaska they did send some personnel down. It's pretty easy for them to look at the training opportunity and say hey we need some guys trained up can we send them down to get that training and we're like send as many as you want we'll get them trained up we'll send them back home ready to go.
