1
00:00:02,020 --> 00:00:04,110
- This experience is
number one, I don't know

2
00:00:04,110 --> 00:00:07,170
if you can do this twice in a
career right, in a lifetime.

3
00:00:07,170 --> 00:00:09,623
Like right now I'm about to fly on a F-15.

4
00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:11,840
It's something that ya know,

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,800
that I've never been able to do.

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,750
First off being in this flight
suit it's, it's pretty cool.

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,330
My name is Master Sergeant Jahara Brown.

8
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:21,950
I'm currently stationed at Warner Robins

9
00:00:21,950 --> 00:00:23,940
78th Security Forces Squadron,

10
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:26,240
and I'm also one of the
12 outstanding airmen.

11
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:31,380
There's a humbling
experience, I mean there's,

12
00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:32,980
I tell everyone across the Air Force

13
00:00:32,980 --> 00:00:34,760
this isn't something you can plan for.

14
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,940
You don't, you don't,

15
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:38,540
you don't reach for a 12
outstanding airmen right?

16
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:40,380
But getting an opportunity to do this

17
00:00:40,380 --> 00:00:43,593
has been second to none so,
I mean I'm enjoying the ride.

18
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:50,380
I've done the tandem jumps.

19
00:00:50,380 --> 00:00:53,523
I've flown around DC to kind
of see what DC looks like.

20
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:56,023
But this,

21
00:00:56,910 --> 00:00:58,140
ya know,

22
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:01,710
something very low key that
not a lot of people know is

23
00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:04,500
I came into the Air Force,
I wanted to fly F-16s,

24
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:05,830
and I wanted to fly fighters.

25
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:08,840
But when I realized that
that's not in ya know

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,400
my wheelhouse of things I'll be doing,

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,470
to get this opportunity right
here, to actually do that.

28
00:01:14,470 --> 00:01:16,470
I can, I can close the loop on this one.

29
00:01:20,110 --> 00:01:21,810
Ya so I knew the 339th was here,

30
00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:23,600
I didn't know they were a reserve unit.

31
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,633
I thought they were active here,

32
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:30,610
but after speaking with everyone
that's been super helpful.

33
00:01:30,610 --> 00:01:33,160
Super, super helpful,
they've helped me get fitted.

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,070
Professionalism and customer
service, without them,

35
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:41,020
you will have an organization
or a company that'll crumble.

36
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:44,640
Walking in here, no matter
what my questions were

37
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,550
they've been able to answer them.

38
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:50,030
And I always pay attention
to the, to the environment.

39
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:53,420
Ya know, What does your
workspace look like, ya know.

40
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:56,060
And everything was top
notch so, that made me feel

41
00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:58,138
comfortable knowing I'm
about to get in an aircraft,

42
00:01:58,138 --> 00:02:00,769
(laughs) and I feel fine now.

43
00:02:00,769 --> 00:02:03,519
(engine roaring)

44
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:08,719
(mechanical sounds)

45
00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:15,200
Everything that, that's happening for me.

46
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,330
Being able to fly, and
being able to travel,

47
00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:19,010
and being able to speak to airmen.

48
00:02:19,010 --> 00:02:21,710
Those are great things, but
the one thing that I would

49
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:24,863
like to share with all airmen is that,

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,680
don't get caught up in looking
at the tip of the iceberg.

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,830
Because the, ya know, it's
much bigger on the underneath.

52
00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:34,907
So, your hard work will
pay off in the end.

53
00:02:34,907 --> 00:02:38,260
It may not happen today,
it may not happen tomorrow.

54
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:40,040
But if you continue to do the things

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,330
that you know that you should be doing,

56
00:02:42,330 --> 00:02:44,453
20 years later your gonna be on an F-15.

57
00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:47,437
Man that's another joke (laughs).

58
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,913
Oh my goodness, definitely
tired, definitely exhausted.

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,240
All the blood, I don't
believe it's still in me yet,

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,707
but were gonna figure it out.

61
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:04,270
I actually flew, yes I can fly an F-15.

62
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:07,640
But uh, it was good to
see the Air Force again

63
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,420
from a bigger perspective, a bigger scale.

64
00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:12,120
It just gives me that much more

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,880
appreciation for what we
do, across the spectrum.

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,880
No matter big A small A,
it's a humbling experience,

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,143
and I'm very appreciative of it.

68
00:03:24,117 --> 00:03:27,700
(intense electronic sound)
