1
00:00:00,243 --> 00:00:03,333
- I think it's been going really good.

2
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:07,360
We have about 30 of my counterparts

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,920
from our partner nations and
I think they've learned a lot.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,590
I've actually learned a lot from them.

5
00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:16,120
Lots of great networking,
friendships being molded,

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,080
so I'm excited.

7
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:19,520
The purpose of this conference is

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,335
to bring Air Force senior
enlisted leaders of our NATO and

9
00:00:24,335 --> 00:00:27,610
partner nations across the world together

10
00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:31,420
to share opportunities
for enlisted development.

11
00:00:31,420 --> 00:00:34,090
To learn from each
other, to help foster and

12
00:00:34,090 --> 00:00:36,779
build the relationships
that will ultimately help us

13
00:00:36,779 --> 00:00:41,779
from a military standpoint and
really the second goal for us

14
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:46,960
is to develop a strategy
for enlisted development

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,250
in the respective AORs
and a global strategy

16
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:53,920
for how we'll develop our enlisted leaders

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,083
across all of the various nations.

18
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:00,236
It's amazing opportunity to
strengthen those relations

19
00:01:00,236 --> 00:01:04,440
because when I have a relationship

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,750
with the Chief Master Sergeant

21
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:10,740
of the Royal Jordanian Air Force
or the Australian Air Force

22
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:12,010
it makes it much easier for us

23
00:01:12,010 --> 00:01:14,270
to get stuff done on both ends.

24
00:01:14,270 --> 00:01:16,150
And, again we learn from each other.

25
00:01:16,150 --> 00:01:19,670
We grow from each other so it just makes

26
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:23,167
for a great opportunity for us globally.

27
00:01:23,167 --> 00:01:26,370
(upbeat music)

28
00:01:26,370 --> 00:01:29,630
Anytime we can connect with
our partner nations and

29
00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:32,060
work on enlisted development
and work through opportunities

30
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:35,063
for us to work together I
think it's a great thing.

31
00:01:36,650 --> 00:01:39,810
I'm really looking forward
to having a global strategy

32
00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:41,900
for how we do enlisted development

33
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:45,258
where we decide to invest
time and money and resources

34
00:01:45,258 --> 00:01:47,820
as United States Air Force

35
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:49,840
to help our partner nations continue

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,283
to evolve their enlisted forces.
