00:01.640 --> 00:04.960
I think that being an Airman

00:05.640 --> 00:07.640
in the world's greatest Air Force ,

00:07.640 --> 00:10.200
it's definitely one of the

00:10.210 --> 00:13.560
most unique opportunities

00:14.040 --> 00:17.000
and there's , there's nothing else like

00:17.000 --> 00:20.460
it . I'm just proud .

00:20.940 --> 00:24.400
I came up with the Air Force's 75th

00:24.410 --> 00:27.630
anniversary theme , which is innovate ,

00:27.640 --> 00:30.260
accelerate , thrive . The Air Force's

00:30.260 --> 00:33.930
75 When you look at the air force for

00:33.930 --> 00:37.550
the past 75 years and where we are as a

00:37.550 --> 00:40.470
service , everyone that is in the Air

00:40.470 --> 00:43.230
Force and that will join the Air Force

00:43.230 --> 00:46.580
in the future has to be willing to be

00:46.580 --> 00:49.500
innovative . They have to be willing to

00:49.510 --> 00:52.480
accelerate through the change and

00:52.490 --> 00:56.330
thrive in the conditions that we

00:56.330 --> 00:59.460
have . I think to me , the word

00:59.470 --> 01:01.660
accelerate . It means that we never

01:01.660 --> 01:05.200
want to let off the gas . We

01:05.200 --> 01:08.320
constantly want to be moving in the

01:08.320 --> 01:11.690
direction of change and we can't let

01:11.690 --> 01:15.370
up along the

01:15.370 --> 01:17.870
way as you're accelerating . We need

01:17.870 --> 01:20.460
innovation and we need to develop new

01:20.460 --> 01:22.680
processes , new ways of doing things

01:22.680 --> 01:25.460
better . And in the midst of it all ,

01:25.460 --> 01:26.460
we have to thrive
