1
00:00:09,326 --> 00:00:11,826
(funky music)

2
00:00:26,967 --> 00:00:28,636
- We definitely have a mission on this base,

3
00:00:28,636 --> 00:00:30,944
and that's what I always tell people you know,

4
00:00:30,944 --> 00:00:33,653
^when they ask like, "What exactly do you do?"

5
00:00:33,653 --> 00:00:36,403
^You know, I've touched everything

6
00:00:36,636 --> 00:00:38,561
that you work with in your shop.

7
00:00:38,561 --> 00:00:41,143
It's like whatever you need, I have probably brought it

8
00:00:41,143 --> 00:00:43,893
to you on a forklift, in a truck.

9
00:00:46,293 --> 00:00:48,987
Pretty much everyone in ground trans loves

10
00:00:48,987 --> 00:00:53,154
driving the forklift because it's small, it's fun,

11
00:00:53,490 --> 00:00:55,573
so we try to be the best.

12
00:01:02,238 --> 00:01:04,623
The office side is such a huge part

13
00:01:04,623 --> 00:01:07,471
in here that nobody really sees that.

14
00:01:07,471 --> 00:01:09,647
Everything in these cabinets in here,

15
00:01:09,647 --> 00:01:12,079
they've all gotta be done and everything's gotta be done.

16
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:14,668
Sometimes monthly, bi-annually, annually,

17
00:01:14,668 --> 00:01:16,429
you gotta keep up with it.

18
00:01:16,429 --> 00:01:17,844
Somebody's gotta keep up with it,

19
00:01:17,844 --> 00:01:21,427
and I actually like the organization of it.

20
00:01:22,304 --> 00:01:23,471
I have my dog.

21
00:01:24,704 --> 00:01:26,498
I treat her just like a child.

22
00:01:26,498 --> 00:01:30,415
She is everything that my live revolves around.

23
00:01:30,486 --> 00:01:33,621
I go hiking, kayaking, I love anything outdoors.

24
00:01:33,621 --> 00:01:36,288
Like (mumbles).

25
00:01:39,358 --> 00:01:40,849
On a daily run, we have distinguished

26
00:01:40,849 --> 00:01:42,449
visitors come in on base.

27
00:01:42,449 --> 00:01:46,366
We do a window tour of the entire installation,

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,282
while whoever wants to explain,

29
00:01:49,282 --> 00:01:52,214
explains everything going on at the 117th

30
00:01:52,214 --> 00:01:55,547
with updates in what they're planning on

31
00:01:56,467 --> 00:01:58,134
doing with the base.

32
00:01:58,146 --> 00:01:59,492
So it's super interesting and you

33
00:01:59,492 --> 00:02:02,325
get a little history in there too.

34
00:02:08,526 --> 00:02:11,668
You can see our entire ramp, all the way, you know,

35
00:02:11,668 --> 00:02:14,184
how big it would be if we expanded, and you know,

36
00:02:14,184 --> 00:02:17,330
you can see all the helicopters and airplanes,

37
00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:19,795
and it's always pretty interesting to me,

38
00:02:19,795 --> 00:02:23,962
and hearing them talk about it is really really cool.
