 White straps there, I'm going to tie up all your NCOs and like... Alright. Somebody had to come up and pick them up. Okay. I have not seen that in there. I know that we used to have... we used to have those at beatle. I see 931-920-326. So I'm the commander. I'm Captain Corey Bissett of the 1137 Signal Company, Tinney, which is a tactical infrastructure network enhanced. Our mission is to install army networks, whether it be copper cable, your internet cable, fiber cable, anything from inside of armories or buildings to outside plant, which is running the fiber on aerial or underground and manholes. And our mission here in the state really is adding value to the different armories in the buildings within the state. So we've done quite a few armory rewires that have added significant financial value and longevity to the buildings and the eyes of the government. So it's a great opportunity for soldiers to get out and actually contribute to the Ohio National Guard and the Army as a whole. They get out and actually get on the job training, which sometimes isn't typical in the National Guard. So it's really fun to get out and actually do your job while contributing and giving back to the state of Ohio. Majority of my soldiers are the cable installers at various different levels. They do all the different install tasks. They run network boxes, they run the network drops, the cabinets, and then they run the fiber outdoors and indoors. So we've done very small armories all the way to a larger armory. So we've done the smallest I would say is the Shagrin Falls Armory and we've also rewired the Stowe Armory when they came through and did the major reconstruction there. So the value that we get to add is we're coming in and upgrading the old networks that have been in those buildings for years. So it's adding speed and value to the building owners really and giving them the accessibility to work more efficiently. And the financial piece is really we get to do that on our training days. So over an IDT weekend or an AT and that's saving money over contract instead of bringing a civilian contractor in to run all the network cable. We're doing it with the soldiers, which is saving the state a lot of money over the price of the contract and it varies based on the size of the mission, how much wire we're installing, how many network drops we're putting in. Some of the big successes I would say is really our biggest mission that we've done so far is the Stowe Armory upgrade and that was a lot of cable. We had probably close to 200 drops that we put in there which was a significant amount of cable that we ran from two sides of the building and getting in there and being able to work side by side with the civilian contractors and dimer was awesome to see that whole process and really getting in there and getting to, like I said before, help the state out and really save the state money and add that value back to that building so it stays there longer. So we've ran a few rewire missions each year since I've taken command and we have about three or four rewire missions planned for next year with more coming up whenever they become available. Overall, the commitment from the company and the state to really step up and improve the infrastructure has been awesome to see. So we're giving the ability back to the units at the outsides, at the armories that have been there for a while and giving them a better workplace and giving them the capability of really stepping up their day-to-day operations. It's been a great opportunity to come in as a commander to a new unit. We stood up at the end of 2019 and I came in mid-2020. It's been a great experience to step up and establish a culture into a brand new unit especially one that gives back to the Ohio Guard as much as we do. The other benefit is that we have a lot of brand new soldiers so we're developing new, the next generation of soldiers in the Ohio National Guard and we get to work with them day-to-day and bring in their experiences from the younger generation and start molding the next force that we have. So my job entitles a lot of cable maintenance so we'll go into a base. We work with cables and we run them through buildings. We demo old cables and we just replace them with new ones. It's a lot of fun. We get to climb up really high ladders. We get to play in the ceilings a little bit. It's just kind of everywhere. It's like a collective chaos or organized chaos just a little bit but it's all fun and we get it done in good time. I like to serve in signal because I get to work with my hands. I work with my hands a lot and pulling cable is kind of fun. You get to run them through really crazy pipes sometimes. We got pipes running through the ground and up and through a tunnel into another building. I mean that's pretty cool. I think that's pretty cool. Yes, I believe my experience has a lot of value. I believe that if we have a really good company then everybody is successful in a way. If the soldiers are successful then the whole company is successful. I think it's a great technical experience. If I decided to do something with this in the civilian world you can get big bucks for it. Like being military trained, being disciplined. It's all hand in hand with civilian life and in military life. The more experience you have the better off you'll be in the civilian world. I decided to serve because I didn't know what I wanted to do out of high school. The more structure and the more discipline that I got with this job is going to set me up better for my civilian life and the more successful I would be later in life. I've completely decided to go military full time now because I love the culture around all of it. Everybody that I've worked with is just great. Right now we are on the Rick and Becker post. Currently we are doing infrastructure improvements in buildings 932 which is going to be the 73rd troop command building. You have building 920 which is behind us. We're doing infrastructure upgrades in there as well for zero clients and for full time users that are in there just allowing them to have more access to network so that they can move around in their offices, change things around and add people as they come in. As of right now Lima is in bravos. 25Lima is 25 bravos. Lima is what we do is we run cable in tactical environments outside, indoors and luckily being tasked with the G6 having projects that we already have. What they do is they run cable upgrade fiber, upgrade cabinets, network cabinets to bring them to CCR compliance so that they're lockable. We even run cables outside. We run copper lines from building to building so we do external and internal work with cabling. Well, so again on my full time side is with the G6, the infrastructure and a lot of the tickets we get are people needing lines fixed when my lines stop working and this worked and we have people moving into this office we don't have enough network capabilities. What we're doing is actually bringing most, every of these buildings so that we do rewires, bringing them up to standard what we have is our standard and allowing people to not have a necessity for lines to be fixed. We're basically building an infrastructure for the next 20 years for them to use so they can move anywhere they want in the building and have network capabilities anywhere they're at. I absolutely love this unit. I have been with the unit for quite a few months now, not a full year. I have worked with them coincidentally as a G6 representative but my soldiers, the soldiers that aren't mine that are in different platoons, they're all hungry for work. They want to learn. A lot of these guys were fresh out of AIT and instead of them sitting at home station working on a board inside a room they love being out here drilling holes, making waves in places and building their confidence to be around full timers and kind of see how the Ohio Guard works but every single one that I've been and I've seen they want to work. They push themselves to find more work. What do I do next? I absolutely love every one of them. This is a newer unit. A lot of these kids, I don't want to call them kids, a lot of these soldiers are a lot younger but they're learning and I think that for the 10-E unit, what we're providing them is the training that's going to carry outside of the Army to their personal side. So even if they decide they want to get out I think that the skills and trades they learn inside this unit are going to carry on for them to learn and really grow as soldiers and a personal development outside.
