How you manage change as leaders will 

186
00:23:49,670 --> 00:23:53,310
define your future . And this year 

187
00:23:53,310 --> 00:23:56,000
I watched each and every one of you 

188
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,819
rise to the occasion , adapt to change , 

189
00:24:00,050 --> 00:24:02,829
gain resilience and achieve the 

190
00:24:02,829 --> 00:24:05,510
warfighting readiness to lead our 

191
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:07,621
airmen and guardians that are waiting 

192
00:24:07,621 --> 00:24:10,949
on you . In a year of transformation , 

193
00:24:11,239 --> 00:24:14,050
you led our efforts and established our 

194
00:24:14,050 --> 00:24:17,280
pathway to success . You established 

195
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,520
our foundation to forge warfighters to 

196
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,560
win , to inspire leaders of character 

197
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,199
and quality , and to motivate critical 

198
00:24:26,199 --> 00:24:30,079
thinkers to adapt . As warfighters to 

199
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:32,819
win , you accepted the challenge and 

200
00:24:32,819 --> 00:24:35,949
embraced the warrior ethos our nation 

201
00:24:35,949 --> 00:24:38,859
demands with a focus on readiness in 

202
00:24:38,859 --> 00:24:42,209
all forms , physical , mental , 

203
00:24:42,420 --> 00:24:45,640
and spiritual . You are offensively 

204
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,609
minded , mission-focused , and you 

205
00:24:48,609 --> 00:24:50,609
built your teams who overcame 

206
00:24:50,609 --> 00:24:53,609
challenges and adversity . Your 

207
00:24:53,609 --> 00:24:56,280
military training , your academics , 

208
00:24:56,420 --> 00:24:58,650
and your athletics prepared you for 

209
00:24:58,650 --> 00:25:01,619
this . You became the example for the 

210
00:25:01,619 --> 00:25:03,890
cadet wing as we established 

211
00:25:03,890 --> 00:25:06,689
foundational warfighter skills and 

212
00:25:06,689 --> 00:25:10,489
executed two entire cadet wing in the 

213
00:25:10,489 --> 00:25:14,239
field military exercises . In our 

214
00:25:14,239 --> 00:25:16,829
first year of culminating exercises , 

215
00:25:17,199 --> 00:25:20,449
we set the bar high and you leapt over 

216
00:25:20,449 --> 00:25:24,180
it . Keep going strong . This 

217
00:25:24,180 --> 00:25:26,969
is just the beginning , and you need to 

218
00:25:26,969 --> 00:25:29,579
keep the momentum as you lead in our 

219
00:25:29,579 --> 00:25:32,459
rapidly changing geopolitical landscape . 

220
00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:36,420
Now , as warrior scholars , you 

221
00:25:36,420 --> 00:25:38,660
integrated rigorous academics , 

222
00:25:38,699 --> 00:25:41,339
immersive training , and cutting edge 

223
00:25:41,339 --> 00:25:43,699
research to prepare you for combat 

224
00:25:43,699 --> 00:25:46,510
leadership . Your education was 

225
00:25:46,510 --> 00:25:49,079
deliberately designed to ensure you are 

226
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:51,719
the warfighters who can outthink , 

227
00:25:52,150 --> 00:25:54,630
outmaneuver , and outfight our 

228
00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:57,430
adversaries . From putting satellites 

229
00:25:57,430 --> 00:26:00,270
in space to winning numerous national 

230
00:26:00,270 --> 00:26:03,380
competitions and providing research to 

231
00:26:03,380 --> 00:26:06,030
support our operational and our 

232
00:26:06,030 --> 00:26:08,252
operational Air Force and space force , 

233
00:26:08,550 --> 00:26:12,030
you excelled and you advanced our 

234
00:26:12,030 --> 00:26:15,880
strategic advantage . And as athletes 

235
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,800
over the past 4 years , you were 

236
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,150
warriors through every competition , 

237
00:26:21,479 --> 00:26:24,079
which led us to 3 individual national 

238
00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:27,920
championships , 37 All-Americans 

239
00:26:28,199 --> 00:26:31,439
and 16 top 25 team 

240
00:26:31,439 --> 00:26:35,319
finishes in the nation . And lastly , 

241
00:26:35,780 --> 00:26:37,780
against our sister military service 

242
00:26:37,780 --> 00:26:41,729
academies in all sports , you dominated 

243
00:26:41,729 --> 00:26:45,650
with an overall record of 66 , 27 , 

244
00:26:45,859 --> 00:26:48,939
and 1 , reminding West Point and 

245
00:26:48,939 --> 00:26:51,540
Annapolis that the Air Force Academy 

246
00:26:51,540 --> 00:26:54,329
remains far , far above . 

247
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,030
As leaders of character and quality , 

248
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,160
you chose Colonel William Psycho 

249
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,349
Andrews as your class exemplar . For 

250
00:27:11,349 --> 00:27:14,119
those of you unfamiliar , each class at 

251
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,839
our academy selects an exemplar whose 

252
00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:20,180
qualities they hope to emulate . Every 

253
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:22,839
time someone says the class year , they 

254
00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:25,180
shout the name of their exemplar . 

255
00:27:26,069 --> 00:27:28,670
Colonel Andrews was a USAA class of 

256
00:27:28,670 --> 00:27:31,369
1980 graduate , and he was one of the 

257
00:27:31,369 --> 00:27:34,199
most decorated airmen of Desert Storm , 

258
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,569
receiving the Air Force Cross for 

259
00:27:36,569 --> 00:27:39,270
heroism after he was shot down and 

260
00:27:39,270 --> 00:27:42,430
captured as a prisoner of war . After 

261
00:27:42,430 --> 00:27:44,630
capture , he saw enemy surface to air 

262
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:47,670
missiles fly by and his wingmen flying 

263
00:27:47,670 --> 00:27:50,010
overhead , attempting to 

264
00:27:51,290 --> 00:27:53,890
Execute the rescue . In a moment of 

265
00:27:53,890 --> 00:27:56,449
rebellion , he reached for his survival 

266
00:27:56,449 --> 00:27:59,119
radio and redirected his wingmen , 

267
00:27:59,410 --> 00:28:01,650
keeping them safe from enemy fire . 

268
00:28:02,699 --> 00:28:04,755
During questioning , Colonel Andrews 

269
00:28:04,755 --> 00:28:07,939
refused to provide information even as 

270
00:28:07,939 --> 00:28:09,939
Iraqi intelligence enticed him with 

271
00:28:09,939 --> 00:28:12,339
better treatment and a promise that no 

272
00:28:12,339 --> 00:28:15,319
one would ever know . But Colonel 

273
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:19,130
Andrews did not falter . He relied on 

274
00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:22,290
his core values . He stayed true to his 

275
00:28:22,290 --> 00:28:24,699
character and he remained silent . 

276
00:28:25,410 --> 00:28:27,930
After his release , Colonel Andrews 

277
00:28:27,930 --> 00:28:30,152
continued to serve with honor until his 

278
00:28:30,152 --> 00:28:33,729
retirement in 2010 . While we lost 

279
00:28:33,729 --> 00:28:37,520
Colonel Andrews in 2015 , his legacy 

280
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,280
remains strong with the class of 2025 . 

281
00:28:44,699 --> 00:28:47,739
Like your exemplar who embodied our 

282
00:28:47,739 --> 00:28:50,020
core values and commitment to servant 

283
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:53,020
leadership , you made hard calls and 

284
00:28:53,020 --> 00:28:55,242
you have faced adversity , knowing that 

285
00:28:55,242 --> 00:28:57,298
leaders do the right thing the right 

286
00:28:57,298 --> 00:29:00,900
way , even if it's unpopular . As 

287
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:02,733
servant leaders , our airmen and 

288
00:29:02,733 --> 00:29:05,979
guardians deserve this . Our missions 

289
00:29:05,979 --> 00:29:08,439
require this , and our nations or 

290
00:29:08,439 --> 00:29:10,609
excuse me , our nation demands this . 

291
00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:14,050
While here you also experienced tragic 

292
00:29:14,050 --> 00:29:16,760
loss of teammates during those 

293
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,640
difficult times you came together , you 

294
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,400
stood by one another and you offered 

295
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,359
compassion and support through the 

296
00:29:25,359 --> 00:29:29,160
unimaginable . This and so many other 

297
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,069
examples of your time at USAA have made 

298
00:29:32,069 --> 00:29:34,680
you leaders of character and quality . 

299
00:29:35,790 --> 00:29:38,619
And finally , as critical thinkers to 

300
00:29:38,619 --> 00:29:41,410
adapt , you learned to develop 

301
00:29:41,410 --> 00:29:43,420
innovative solutions to complex 

302
00:29:43,420 --> 00:29:46,280
problems while operating with limited 

303
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,900
information . You prepared for modern 

304
00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:52,329
and future warfare in the air , space , 

305
00:29:52,459 --> 00:29:55,099
and cyber domains , ensuring we 

306
00:29:55,099 --> 00:29:57,939
maintain our strategic advantage for 

307
00:29:57,939 --> 00:30:00,859
the joint force . You challenged the 

308
00:30:00,859 --> 00:30:04,160
status quo . You built teams to tackle 

309
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,800
problems from multiple perspectives to 

310
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,439
ensure your success , and through your 

311
00:30:09,439 --> 00:30:12,199
warfighter training , your academics , 

312
00:30:12,239 --> 00:30:14,560
and your athletics , you learn to 

313
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,420
analyze and adapt to emerging threats . 

314
00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:21,640
Our future demands your continued 

315
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,510
critical thought . Class of 2025 . 

316
00:30:27,729 --> 00:30:31,040
Your day one has arrived , and I am 

317
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,520
exceptionally proud of your hard work 

318
00:30:33,770 --> 00:30:36,869
and your perseverance . But there are 

319
00:30:36,869 --> 00:30:39,119
challenges ahead , and you must be 

320
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:41,979
prepared . There is no easy path . 

321
00:30:42,390 --> 00:30:44,670
Nothing worthwhile comes without hard 

322
00:30:44,670 --> 00:30:48,030
work , teamwork , courage , and 

323
00:30:48,030 --> 00:30:51,189
sacrifice . And I will leave you with 

324
00:30:51,189 --> 00:30:54,530
these last thoughts . Our weapons 

325
00:30:54,530 --> 00:30:58,459
school mantra comes to mind . Be humble . 

326
00:30:59,550 --> 00:31:02,380
Be approachable , be credible . 

327
00:31:03,459 --> 00:31:05,859
Be humble . You have proven you have 

328
00:31:05,859 --> 00:31:08,550
incredible talents and as leaders , 

329
00:31:08,810 --> 00:31:10,977
remember that you are entering a force 

330
00:31:10,977 --> 00:31:14,300
that has decades of experience . Take 

331
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:17,180
the time to listen , listen and learn 

332
00:31:17,180 --> 00:31:19,347
from your team's years of experience . 

333
00:31:20,609 --> 00:31:24,050
Be approachable , build teams and 

334
00:31:24,050 --> 00:31:26,369
continue to lift them up where every 

335
00:31:26,369 --> 00:31:29,250
team member is seen , heard , and 

336
00:31:29,250 --> 00:31:31,890
valued . When you execute this 

337
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:33,609
successfully , your team will 

338
00:31:33,609 --> 00:31:36,369
outperform not only your mission , but 

339
00:31:36,369 --> 00:31:40,310
your expectations . And be credible . 

340
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,880
Be the master of your craft . Be the go 

341
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,719
to expert wherever you go , and be 

342
00:31:46,719 --> 00:31:49,640
ready when the nation calls . Be 

343
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,439
credible for yourself , be credible for 

344
00:31:52,439 --> 00:31:54,880
your team , and be credible for our 

345
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,589
adversaries . They are watching . Your 

346
00:31:58,589 --> 00:32:00,910
job is to ensure that they never 

347
00:32:01,339 --> 00:32:04,599
challenge our nation by displaying your 

348
00:32:04,599 --> 00:32:07,489
incredible strength . And right now 

349
00:32:07,489 --> 00:32:10,969
there are 325,000 airmen and guardians 

350
00:32:10,969 --> 00:32:14,040
who need your leadership . And I can

352
00:32:17,209 --> 00:32:19,810
leaders our nation deserves . 

353
00:32:20,050 --> 00:32:23,239
Congratulations to the class of 2025 . 

354
00:32:25,069 --> 00:32:28,619
Fights on . Now , ladies and gentlemen , 

355
00:32:28,869 --> 00:32:31,069
I'd like to welcome the twenty-seventh 

356
00:32:31,069 --> 00:32:33,270
Secretary of our Air Force , the 

357
00:32:33,270 --> 00:32:34,569
Honorable Troy Mink . 

358
00:32:47,420 --> 00:32:49,979
Good morning , class of 2025 . 

359
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,622
I was actually fortunate enough to meet 

360
00:32:54,622 --> 00:32:56,869
Psycho when I was a senior lieutenant 

361
00:32:56,869 --> 00:32:59,036
young captain . It was right after the 

362
00:32:59,036 --> 00:33:01,300
Gulf War , and he's going around , um , 

363
00:33:01,430 --> 00:33:04,290
talking and briefing various units on 

364
00:33:04,290 --> 00:33:07,109
his experience . He made a fantastic 

365
00:33:07,109 --> 00:33:10,949
selection . He was a great officer . Um , 

366
00:33:11,170 --> 00:33:13,337
again , love the enthusiasm . Great to 

367
00:33:13,337 --> 00:33:15,750
be here . Um , 2 hours maybe in a 

368
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:18,170
Thunderbird pass . We'll see what the 

369
00:33:18,170 --> 00:33:20,448
weather looks like going forward , but , 

370
00:33:20,448 --> 00:33:22,448
uh , I'm hopeful . I got my fingers 

371
00:33:22,448 --> 00:33:24,503
crossed . I wanna start out a little 

372
00:33:24,503 --> 00:33:26,448
bit non-standard . I'm , I'm gonna 

373
00:33:26,489 --> 00:33:28,656
reference a number of cadets as I walk 

374
00:33:28,656 --> 00:33:30,878
through here , but I did want to , uh , 

375
00:33:30,878 --> 00:33:33,239
give a shout out to a third class cadet , 

376
00:33:33,250 --> 00:33:35,528
uh , that I know very , very well , uh , 

377
00:33:35,650 --> 00:33:38,530
cadet Gabriel Ralston . Um , I coached 

378
00:33:38,530 --> 00:33:41,010
Gabriel and his two brothers for about 

379
00:33:41,010 --> 00:33:43,619
5 or 6 years in competitive robotics . 

380
00:33:44,119 --> 00:33:46,520
Um , it quickly became apparent to me 

381
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,631
that he was the sharpest of the three 

382
00:33:48,631 --> 00:33:50,520
brothers , even though he was the 

383
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,576
youngest . Uh , the other two had to 

384
00:33:52,576 --> 00:33:54,298
settle for the Naval Academy . 

385
00:33:57,079 --> 00:33:59,135
So 2 weeks into the job and I expect 

386
00:33:59,135 --> 00:34:01,357
I'll have to be apologizing to a couple 

387
00:34:01,357 --> 00:34:03,579
of Navy leaders when I get back to DC , 

388
00:34:03,579 --> 00:34:05,690
uh , on Friday , but , uh , uh , just 

389
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,912
kidding , we love our our our uh sister 

390
00:34:07,912 --> 00:34:11,360
services . So General Alvin and Mrs . 

391
00:34:11,399 --> 00:34:13,750
Alvin , uh , General Saltzman and Mrs . 

392
00:34:13,879 --> 00:34:16,050
Saltzman and General Bo Fine , thank 

393
00:34:16,050 --> 00:34:18,272
you and Mrs . Born Fine , thank you for 

394
00:34:18,272 --> 00:34:19,883
the , uh , thank you for the 

395
00:34:19,883 --> 00:34:21,939
introduction . And thank you for all 

396
00:34:21,939 --> 00:34:24,106
the distinguished guests and everybody 

397
00:34:24,106 --> 00:34:26,272
who has made this day possible for the 

398
00:34:26,272 --> 00:34:28,494
cadets . It's obviously it's a day that 

399
00:34:28,494 --> 00:34:30,550
the cadets are gonna remember uh for 

400
00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:32,606
their entire lives . I'd also take a 

401
00:34:32,606 --> 00:34:34,717
little bit of time to thank the , the 

402
00:34:34,717 --> 00:34:36,661
support infrastructure for all the 

403
00:34:36,661 --> 00:34:40,580
class of 2025 . To all 

404
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:42,919
the friends , family , mentors , 

405
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:46,379
sponsors , uh , who , who rightly 

406
00:34:46,949 --> 00:34:48,949
have made significant sacrifices to 

407
00:34:48,949 --> 00:34:51,116
help the cadets get into the academy , 

408
00:34:51,116 --> 00:34:53,116
get through the academy , help them 

409
00:34:53,116 --> 00:34:55,116
with all the decisions they've made 

410
00:34:55,116 --> 00:34:57,338
throughout their time here , uh , where 

411
00:34:57,338 --> 00:34:56,820
they're gonna go , what field they want 

412
00:34:56,820 --> 00:34:59,120
to lead into , uh , it's great , uh , 

413
00:34:59,659 --> 00:35:01,826
people would , would never get through 

414
00:35:01,826 --> 00:35:03,826
these sorts of hard courses without 

415
00:35:03,826 --> 00:35:05,992
that support , and I want to thank you 

416
00:35:05,992 --> 00:35:08,103
all for that . Unfortunately it's not 

417
00:35:08,103 --> 00:35:10,103
going to change . Uh , that support 

418
00:35:10,103 --> 00:35:12,270
infrastructure is going to be required 

419
00:35:12,270 --> 00:35:14,437
going forward . Uh , although I was uh 

420
00:35:14,437 --> 00:35:16,659
active duty officer for 5 years , I was 

421
00:35:16,659 --> 00:35:18,881
a spouse for over 20 years . My wife is 

422
00:35:18,881 --> 00:35:20,770
a retired Air Force officer , and 

423
00:35:20,770 --> 00:35:22,992
although we loved our experience , uh , 

424
00:35:22,992 --> 00:35:24,992
pretty much all of it , but we love 

425
00:35:24,992 --> 00:35:27,270
pretty much all of our experience , uh , 

426
00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:29,437
things are not gonna get easier . Uh , 

427
00:35:29,437 --> 00:35:31,603
although there's a lot of work here at 

428
00:35:31,603 --> 00:35:31,409
the academy getting through the academy , 

429
00:35:31,449 --> 00:35:33,671
you should be extremely proud of that . 

430
00:35:33,671 --> 00:35:36,110
The pressure , the pace is gonna 

431
00:35:36,110 --> 00:35:38,169
continue to improve or continue to 

432
00:35:38,169 --> 00:35:41,729
increase as you train , deploy , and 

433
00:35:41,729 --> 00:35:43,785
fight in the operational Air Force , 

434
00:35:43,810 --> 00:35:45,754
and that support infrastructure is 

435
00:35:45,754 --> 00:35:47,921
gonna be just as important today as it 

436
00:35:47,921 --> 00:35:49,977
is going forward as it is today . So 

437
00:35:49,977 --> 00:35:52,088
thank you very much for everybody and 

438
00:35:52,088 --> 00:35:54,088
all their support . So , to classes 

439
00:35:54,088 --> 00:35:54,760
2026 . 

440
00:35:59,020 --> 00:36:01,250
slow on their response 2027 . 

441
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,469
Uh , 2028 . 

442
00:36:08,399 --> 00:36:09,510
Well there you go . 

443
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:14,639
Remember that , uh , they had more 

444
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:16,360
warning than the 2026 class . 

445
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:21,722
Uh , remember that everything you do in 

446
00:36:21,722 --> 00:36:23,659
your remaining time as a cadet is 

447
00:36:23,659 --> 00:36:25,770
pointing you to this graduation day , 

448
00:36:25,770 --> 00:36:27,826
the time when you will make your own 

449
00:36:27,826 --> 00:36:30,048
impact on the mission . Good luck and I 

450
00:36:30,048 --> 00:36:32,215
look forward to being here , uh , when 

451
00:36:32,215 --> 00:36:34,437
you get when you graduate over the next 

452
00:36:34,437 --> 00:36:36,840
coming years . Now back to class of 

453
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:37,790
2025 . 

454
00:36:40,709 --> 00:36:43,770
They're winning so far . Today is a 

455
00:36:43,770 --> 00:36:46,048
culmination of four years of hard work . 

456
00:36:46,050 --> 00:36:48,050
Your journey started with a clap of 

457
00:36:48,050 --> 00:36:51,969
thunder on 2024 on June 2021 . Uh , 

458
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:54,322
I'm not hearing any thunder , but we're 

459
00:36:54,322 --> 00:36:56,489
getting a little bit of rain , I think 

460
00:36:56,489 --> 00:36:58,489
like you got in the middle , in the 

461
00:36:58,489 --> 00:37:00,378
middle of processing in the storm 

462
00:37:00,378 --> 00:37:02,156
standing under the footsteps of 

463
00:37:02,156 --> 00:37:04,044
Vanderberg Tower . You kept going 

464
00:37:04,044 --> 00:37:06,100
despite all the adversities we could 

465
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:08,211
think to throw at you . You gave , we 

466
00:37:08,211 --> 00:37:10,409
gave you a motto . Never quit , never 

467
00:37:10,409 --> 00:37:12,889
settle , and you haven't quit and you 

468
00:37:12,889 --> 00:37:15,209
haven't settled . That persistent got 

469
00:37:15,209 --> 00:37:17,098
you to this point through all the 

470
00:37:17,098 --> 00:37:19,530
challenges you faced . You've overcome 

471
00:37:19,530 --> 00:37:22,090
athletic rigors as the superintendent 

472
00:37:22,090 --> 00:37:24,949
pointed out . The 2 in 1 win ratio over 

473
00:37:24,949 --> 00:37:26,939
the other services , I , I'm sure 

474
00:37:26,939 --> 00:37:28,995
you're appreciating it now , but you 

475
00:37:28,995 --> 00:37:31,161
will , you will continue to appreciate 

476
00:37:31,161 --> 00:37:33,383
that throughout your career . That is , 

477
00:37:33,383 --> 00:37:35,606
that is a battle that never ends . That 

478
00:37:35,606 --> 00:37:37,717
is a discussion that never ends after 

479
00:37:37,717 --> 00:37:39,828
25-30 years , you'll still be talking 

480
00:37:39,828 --> 00:37:42,510
about that gymnast Patrick Hoops won 

481
00:37:42,510 --> 00:37:44,677
back to back national championships in 

482
00:37:44,677 --> 00:37:48,239
the polo horse . Scott 

483
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,439
Rocket won Division One title with an 

484
00:37:50,439 --> 00:37:53,600
air rifle . That , 

485
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,527
that , that's gotta be one of the best 

486
00:37:56,527 --> 00:37:58,760
names I've , I've ever heard , uh , 

487
00:37:58,770 --> 00:38:01,080
Rocket . Uh , many of you competed in 

488
00:38:01,090 --> 00:38:03,199
in world sports throughout the wild 

489
00:38:03,199 --> 00:38:05,421
weather . Colorado could throw at you . 

490
00:38:05,919 --> 00:38:08,141
You also overcame academic trials . You 

491
00:38:08,141 --> 00:38:10,800
not only passed Chemistry 100 and Astro 

492
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,629
310 , but some of you went far beyond . 

493
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:16,244
You secured patents for autonomous 

494
00:38:16,244 --> 00:38:18,689
robotic systems . You tested hypersonic 

495
00:38:18,689 --> 00:38:20,911
vehicles , and you launched payloads to 

496
00:38:20,911 --> 00:38:22,911
the International Space Station . I 

497
00:38:22,911 --> 00:38:25,022
think the superintendent told me this 

498
00:38:25,022 --> 00:38:24,959
morning that over the last 6 years 

499
00:38:24,959 --> 00:38:26,959
there was 36 patents awarded to the 

500
00:38:26,959 --> 00:38:28,600
Academy cadets . That's just 

501
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,600
unbelievable . 

502
00:38:35,699 --> 00:38:37,755
And some of you are continuing on to 

503
00:38:37,755 --> 00:38:39,810
graduate school , including Margaret 

504
00:38:39,810 --> 00:38:41,770
Mayhem who won and was awarded the 

505
00:38:41,770 --> 00:38:43,048
Marshall scholarship . 

506
00:38:45,479 --> 00:38:48,189
Others are headed off to programs at 

507
00:38:48,189 --> 00:38:52,080
MIT and other institutions . Like a 

508
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,879
young lieutenant that I knew , 1998 

509
00:38:55,879 --> 00:38:58,360
graduate of the academy , uh , colonel 

510
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,719
and now astronaut Nick Haig , who 

511
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,080
worked for me about 25 years ago as a 

512
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,191
brand new cadet graduate out of MIT . 

513
00:39:05,570 --> 00:39:07,681
Uh , some of you may know him . He is 

514
00:39:07,681 --> 00:39:09,514
the US astronaut that managed to 

515
00:39:09,514 --> 00:39:11,959
survive a Russian rocket blowing up 

516
00:39:11,959 --> 00:39:14,199
underneath of him . And then , uh , a 

517
00:39:14,199 --> 00:39:16,477
couple of years later , just last year , 

518
00:39:16,477 --> 00:39:18,421
was the command of the , the , the 

519
00:39:18,421 --> 00:39:20,643
launch , the , the mission that went up 

520
00:39:20,643 --> 00:39:22,643
and rescued the two astronauts that 

521
00:39:22,643 --> 00:39:24,588
were stranded on the International 

522
00:39:24,588 --> 00:39:26,755
Space Station . So a long pedigree out 

523
00:39:26,755 --> 00:39:28,921
of the academy for sure . You overcame 

524
00:39:28,921 --> 00:39:30,921
military challenges , your 4 degree 

525
00:39:30,921 --> 00:39:33,860
year and recognition . You stepped into 

526
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:35,916
leadership roles and made this place 

527
00:39:35,916 --> 00:39:38,100
your own . Sometimes you even went a 

528
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:40,780
little too far and had to march a few 

529
00:39:40,780 --> 00:39:43,459
tours . Something about Ziggy . 

530
00:39:45,929 --> 00:39:48,096
I , I wanted to ask , but I was told I 

531
00:39:48,096 --> 00:39:50,300
don't wanna ask and I don't wanna see 

532
00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:53,909
you overcame combat survival training 

533
00:39:53,909 --> 00:39:57,270
in Pinon cannon . Now I have to admit 

534
00:39:57,270 --> 00:39:59,159
that when I went through survival 

535
00:39:59,159 --> 00:40:00,992
training , that was not the most 

536
00:40:00,992 --> 00:40:02,881
enjoyable time in my , uh , early 

537
00:40:02,881 --> 00:40:05,300
career , uh , but it teaches you a lot . 

538
00:40:05,709 --> 00:40:07,931
The important thing to remember is that 

539
00:40:07,931 --> 00:40:09,987
there is nothing your class couldn't 

540
00:40:09,987 --> 00:40:12,590
overcome in class of 2025 . 

541
00:40:15,750 --> 00:40:19,520
It's exactly that tenacity we need . We 

542
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,090
need you . We need you because the Air 

543
00:40:23,090 --> 00:40:25,449
Force and Space Force that you're about 

544
00:40:25,449 --> 00:40:28,399
to join are not the same services that 

545
00:40:28,399 --> 00:40:31,719
I , your instructors , AOCs , and 

546
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,159
coaches joined . You are joining the 

547
00:40:34,159 --> 00:40:35,881
department of the Air Force in 

548
00:40:35,881 --> 00:40:39,389
transition . For the past 25 

549
00:40:39,389 --> 00:40:43,189
years we've been focused . For the past 

550
00:40:43,189 --> 00:40:44,709
25 years we have been . 

551
00:40:48,729 --> 00:40:52,560
Passport . Alright , I get it . 

552
00:40:54,389 --> 00:40:56,750
It took me a second . That was not on 

553
00:40:56,750 --> 00:41:00,209
purpose on my part . For the past 25 

554
00:41:00,209 --> 00:41:04,179
years . We've been 

555
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:06,820
focused on low intensity conflict in 

556
00:41:06,820 --> 00:41:10,699
the Middle East . But no longer . This 

557
00:41:10,699 --> 00:41:12,800
administration has made its national 

558
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,120
security focus crystal clear . Number 

559
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,800
one , defend the homeland . #2 , deter 

560
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,959
China in the Indo-Pacific . Class of 

561
00:41:22,959 --> 00:41:26,840
2025 . That one was on 

562
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,810
purpose . The Indo-Pacific will be your 

563
00:41:29,810 --> 00:41:31,699
generation's fight , and you will 

564
00:41:31,699 --> 00:41:33,921
deliver the most lethal force that this 

565
00:41:33,921 --> 00:41:36,020
nation has ever existed , or we will 

566
00:41:36,020 --> 00:41:38,620
not succeed . The character of war is 

567
00:41:38,620 --> 00:41:41,280
changing today more rapidly than ever 

568
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,149
before . You can clearly see not only 

569
00:41:44,149 --> 00:41:46,479
in the Ukraine skies , but in the skies 

570
00:41:46,479 --> 00:41:49,780
over Israel and the Red Sea . 30 years 

571
00:41:49,780 --> 00:41:52,100
ago when I was a 2nd lieutenant , only 

572
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:54,156
a handful of nations could precisely 

573
00:41:54,156 --> 00:41:56,378
strike targets hundreds of miles away . 

574
00:41:57,290 --> 00:41:59,889
Today , even a group of Yemen rebels 

575
00:41:59,889 --> 00:42:02,250
can employ anti-ballistic missiles at 

576
00:42:02,250 --> 00:42:05,479
range . To meet this new reality , we 

577
00:42:05,479 --> 00:42:07,646
must rebuild our military , and we are 

578
00:42:07,646 --> 00:42:09,423
now in the midst of the largest 

579
00:42:09,423 --> 00:42:11,535
modernization in our history . We are 

580
00:42:11,535 --> 00:42:13,757
developing and procuring new systems in 

581
00:42:13,757 --> 00:42:15,879
nearly every mission area in both the 

582
00:42:15,879 --> 00:42:18,120
Air Force and the Space Force , and in 

583
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,439
some cases we are creating new missions 

584
00:42:20,439 --> 00:42:23,120
that weren't even thought about 5 or 4 

585
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,398
years ago when you entered the academy . 

586
00:42:25,979 --> 00:42:28,146
We are treating space like a contested 

587
00:42:28,146 --> 00:42:30,201
environment . It is . We're building 

588
00:42:30,201 --> 00:42:32,312
the most lethal airborne platforms in 

589
00:42:32,312 --> 00:42:34,257
history . We are building low-cost 

590
00:42:34,257 --> 00:42:36,312
drones , and we are building sensors 

591
00:42:36,312 --> 00:42:38,423
and battle networks to stretch it all 

592
00:42:38,423 --> 00:42:41,060
together . We are training to , we are 

593
00:42:41,060 --> 00:42:43,060
also training in this environment . 

594
00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:45,550
Next month we will have the largest 

595
00:42:45,550 --> 00:42:47,899
exercise since the Cold War , and that 

596
00:42:47,899 --> 00:42:50,066
exercise will be in the Indo-Pacific . 

597
00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:52,959
Why are we gonna do that ? We focus on 

598
00:42:52,959 --> 00:42:55,181
the Indo-Pacific because it is a threat 

599
00:42:55,181 --> 00:42:57,237
unlike anything we have ever faced . 

600
00:42:57,709 --> 00:43:00,389
This is not late stage Cold War where 

601
00:43:00,389 --> 00:43:02,445
we had a decisive advantage over the 

602
00:43:02,445 --> 00:43:04,959
Soviets . That's what I came into . 

603
00:43:05,370 --> 00:43:07,537
This is not the unipolar moment in the 

604
00:43:07,537 --> 00:43:11,040
1990s when America stood unchallenged . 

605
00:43:11,610 --> 00:43:13,666
This is not the global war on terror 

606
00:43:13,666 --> 00:43:17,489
and the 2000 and 2010s where we enjoyed 

607
00:43:17,489 --> 00:43:19,810
freedom of the skies . Today's 

608
00:43:19,810 --> 00:43:22,360
competition with China is wide ranging , 

609
00:43:22,370 --> 00:43:25,290
and it is unpredictable . There will be 

610
00:43:25,290 --> 00:43:27,370
no sanctuaries , and many of our 

611
00:43:27,370 --> 00:43:29,481
assumptions about air and space power 

612
00:43:29,481 --> 00:43:31,739
will change . If we continue to operate 

613
00:43:31,739 --> 00:43:34,419
as we have in the past , we will fail 

614
00:43:34,419 --> 00:43:36,909
in the future . And we cannot afford to 

615
00:43:36,909 --> 00:43:40,550
fail . We must be ready at all times . 

616
00:43:40,919 --> 00:43:43,459
Every minute of every day , airmen 

617
00:43:43,459 --> 00:43:45,626
stand watch and missile launch control 

618
00:43:45,626 --> 00:43:48,250
centers . Guardians stand watch on 

619
00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:50,860
satellite control centers , pilots 

620
00:43:50,860 --> 00:43:53,860
stand watch , and alert facilities . We 

621
00:43:53,860 --> 00:43:56,027
stand watch because the defense of the 

622
00:43:56,027 --> 00:43:58,860
homeland is a no fail mission . It is 

623
00:43:58,860 --> 00:44:01,340
Air Force F-22s that still intercept 

624
00:44:01,340 --> 00:44:04,100
Russian bombers in the North Arctic , a 

625
00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:05,989
mission that we've been doing for 

626
00:44:05,989 --> 00:44:07,878
decades . It is the space force's 

627
00:44:07,878 --> 00:44:09,989
sensors that detect incoming missiles 

628
00:44:09,989 --> 00:44:12,570
or other threats in space . And this 

629
00:44:12,570 --> 00:44:14,848
mission is only getting more important . 

630
00:44:15,290 --> 00:44:17,800
That is why we are at the forefront of 

631
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,967
designing and building the President's 

632
00:44:19,967 --> 00:44:22,570
Golden Dome for America initiative with 

633
00:44:22,570 --> 00:44:25,010
a guardian , General Gutwein , in the 

634
00:44:25,010 --> 00:44:27,989
lead . And if our nation should call , 

635
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,376
we are ready at a moment's notice to 

636
00:44:30,376 --> 00:44:33,199
deploy , to fight and to win anytime , 

637
00:44:33,850 --> 00:44:36,409
anywhere with the most advanced systems 

638
00:44:36,409 --> 00:44:39,010
on the planet . We have a long legacy 

639
00:44:39,010 --> 00:44:41,689
of being the first to fight . America's 

640
00:44:41,689 --> 00:44:43,800
offensive response to the bombings at 

641
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,050
Pearl Harbor was the Doolittle raid . 

642
00:44:46,399 --> 00:44:48,510
30 seconds over Tokyo . It's actually 

643
00:44:48,510 --> 00:44:50,510
the first book I remember reading . 

644
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:53,219
American bombers were our first force 

645
00:44:53,219 --> 00:44:55,330
to respond to North Korea invasion in 

646
00:44:55,330 --> 00:44:58,489
the South in the 1950s . In Afghanistan , 

647
00:44:58,820 --> 00:45:01,860
air power was on hand from day one 

648
00:45:01,860 --> 00:45:04,027
supporting special operations in their 

649
00:45:04,027 --> 00:45:06,340
march to Kabul . No matter what the 

650
00:45:06,340 --> 00:45:08,562
conflict of the future looks like , air 

651
00:45:08,562 --> 00:45:10,939
power and space power will be at its 

652
00:45:10,939 --> 00:45:13,139
leading edge , and you must be ready 

653
00:45:13,139 --> 00:45:16,889
for it at all times . Class of 2025 . 

654
00:45:19,939 --> 00:45:22,161
You may not see it now , but there is a 

655
00:45:22,161 --> 00:45:24,383
reason why we put you through the paces 

656
00:45:24,383 --> 00:45:27,570
these last 4 years . There is a reason 

657
00:45:27,570 --> 00:45:30,159
why the academy is as hard as you have 

658
00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:32,560
seen it to be . As you look back at 

659
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,727
your time here , you will see how well 

660
00:45:34,727 --> 00:45:36,838
it prepared you for what it will take 

661
00:45:36,838 --> 00:45:39,399
in the future , how well it has forged 

662
00:45:39,399 --> 00:45:42,199
you into leaders of character that we 

663
00:45:42,199 --> 00:45:44,310
need our Air Force and space force . 

664
00:45:44,919 --> 00:45:46,975
Everything you've been through these 

665
00:45:46,975 --> 00:45:49,252
past 4 years has been for this purpose . 

666
00:45:49,689 --> 00:45:51,578
There is a reason why you receive 

667
00:45:51,578 --> 00:45:53,689
bachelor's degrees of science because 

668
00:45:53,689 --> 00:45:55,522
the systems we are acquiring and 

669
00:45:55,522 --> 00:45:57,745
operating are some of the most advanced 

670
00:45:57,745 --> 00:46:00,022
and sophisticated systems in the world . 

671
00:46:00,022 --> 00:46:02,189
The cornerstone of our force lethality 

672
00:46:02,189 --> 00:46:04,356
will be your skill set and knowledge . 

673
00:46:04,929 --> 00:46:06,873
I understand about half of you are 

674
00:46:06,873 --> 00:46:09,469
going on to be rated careers . Your 

675
00:46:09,469 --> 00:46:12,350
ability to effectively employ the 

676
00:46:12,350 --> 00:46:14,239
systems we have today and the new 

677
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,070
systems we are delivering will be the 

678
00:46:17,070 --> 00:46:19,070
decisive advantage we have over our 

679
00:46:19,070 --> 00:46:21,989
adversaries . I also understand that 

680
00:46:21,989 --> 00:46:24,045
just over 100 of you will be joining 

681
00:46:24,045 --> 00:46:26,211
the Space Force . Our youngest service 

682
00:46:26,211 --> 00:46:28,211
is also one of the most technical . 

683
00:46:28,350 --> 00:46:31,889
Space actually is hard . To succeed , 

684
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:34,620
we need smart , tenacious leaders 

685
00:46:35,300 --> 00:46:38,020
across the force , and I believe space 

686
00:46:38,020 --> 00:46:39,687
will be one of the asymmetric 

687
00:46:39,687 --> 00:46:41,649
advantages the US has over our 

688
00:46:41,649 --> 00:46:44,179
adversaries . Others will become 

689
00:46:44,179 --> 00:46:47,270
missiles , maintainers , logisticians , 

690
00:46:47,649 --> 00:46:49,979
cyber defenders , engineers , acquires , 

691
00:46:50,139 --> 00:46:53,290
analysts , all those are needed to make 

692
00:46:53,290 --> 00:46:55,234
this great machine of an air force 

693
00:46:55,234 --> 00:46:58,179
operate . No matter your job , we will 

694
00:46:58,179 --> 00:47:00,457
find what you've learned here critical . 

695
00:47:00,820 --> 00:47:03,459
Data is now ubiquitous . Robotics 

696
00:47:03,459 --> 00:47:06,550
systems are increasingly capable . AI 

697
00:47:06,550 --> 00:47:09,320
is more than just a buzzword . Our 

698
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,487
services were born of technology , and 

699
00:47:11,487 --> 00:47:13,598
I commit to you that we will put what 

700
00:47:13,598 --> 00:47:15,764
you've learned here to use . There are 

701
00:47:15,764 --> 00:47:17,764
no shortages of problems for you to 

702
00:47:17,764 --> 00:47:20,620
solve . I spent quite a bit of time in 

703
00:47:20,620 --> 00:47:22,899
the Pentagon , maybe more time than I 

704
00:47:22,899 --> 00:47:25,219
would have liked in the Pentagon . It 

705
00:47:25,219 --> 00:47:27,459
is a place where critical decisions are 

706
00:47:27,459 --> 00:47:29,570
made , but the Pentagon doesn't fight 

707
00:47:29,570 --> 00:47:32,659
wars . Young officers , lieutenants , 

708
00:47:32,830 --> 00:47:35,699
captains fight wars . Lieutenants like 

709
00:47:35,699 --> 00:47:39,379
you in about 2 hours have the drive , 

710
00:47:39,459 --> 00:47:42,639
the skill , the fearlessness to try new 

711
00:47:42,639 --> 00:47:44,719
things . Lieutenants can innovate . 

712
00:47:44,820 --> 00:47:47,042
Lieutenants need to innovate . They can 

713
00:47:47,042 --> 00:47:49,110
solve problems and they can win 

714
00:47:49,399 --> 00:47:52,000
tomorrow's war . Lieutenants like Chris 

715
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,167
Pritchard , who deployed to the Middle 

716
00:47:54,167 --> 00:47:56,520
East last year shortly after arriving 

717
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,199
at his first operational squadron , on 

718
00:47:59,199 --> 00:48:02,199
his first combat mission , he dropped 4 

719
00:48:02,199 --> 00:48:04,639
GPS guided bombs as part of a complex 

720
00:48:04,639 --> 00:48:06,879
strike package . Later in the same 

721
00:48:06,879 --> 00:48:08,823
deployment , he shot down a Houthi 

722
00:48:08,823 --> 00:48:11,040
drone over the Red Sea . Despite the 

723
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,760
dynamic circumstances , he executed 

724
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,879
exactly as he and thousands of young 

725
00:48:15,879 --> 00:48:18,560
aviators had been trained to do to 

726
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,659
accomplish the mission . Captains like 

727
00:48:21,659 --> 00:48:24,689
Jonathan Novak , who was a key engineer 

728
00:48:25,060 --> 00:48:27,530
on a multi-billion dollar orbital 

729
00:48:28,459 --> 00:48:32,399
program . He is not only wrote an 

730
00:48:32,399 --> 00:48:34,566
award winning thesis while getting his 

731
00:48:34,566 --> 00:48:36,719
master's at MIT but then directly 

732
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,775
applied that knowledge into building 

733
00:48:38,775 --> 00:48:41,159
the coursework for orbital warfare and 

734
00:48:41,159 --> 00:48:44,030
engineers to follow . Lieutenants like 

735
00:48:44,030 --> 00:48:47,629
Mary Cage , who commanded flight and 

736
00:48:47,629 --> 00:48:49,790
manages the global supply of hundreds 

737
00:48:49,790 --> 00:48:52,189
of different spare parts for our B-52 

738
00:48:52,189 --> 00:48:55,689
fleet . Readiness is a challenge . 

739
00:48:56,389 --> 00:48:58,530
People like that are critical to make 

740
00:48:58,530 --> 00:49:00,649
sure that our forces have what they 

741
00:49:00,649 --> 00:49:03,110
need to fight . Captains like Nick 

742
00:49:03,110 --> 00:49:05,669
Forrest , who was asked to serve at the 

743
00:49:05,669 --> 00:49:07,725
National Reconnaissance where I most 

744
00:49:07,725 --> 00:49:10,959
recently worked a couple weeks ago , uh , 

745
00:49:10,989 --> 00:49:12,822
he is one of the dozens of young 

746
00:49:12,822 --> 00:49:14,933
officers that we have deployed around 

747
00:49:14,933 --> 00:49:17,149
the world to bring data science to the 

748
00:49:17,149 --> 00:49:19,371
fight . He is currently embedded in the 

749
00:49:19,371 --> 00:49:21,669
White House Situation Room , building 

750
00:49:21,669 --> 00:49:23,502
models and bringing intelligence 

751
00:49:23,502 --> 00:49:25,669
products to the most senior leadership 

752
00:49:25,669 --> 00:49:27,389
in our government . In fact , 

753
00:49:27,550 --> 00:49:29,606
throughout its history , some of the 

754
00:49:29,606 --> 00:49:31,772
Air Force's proudest achievements have 

755
00:49:31,772 --> 00:49:33,717
been accomplished by lieutenants , 

756
00:49:33,717 --> 00:49:35,939
young people who make their dreams into 

757
00:49:35,939 --> 00:49:38,100
reality despite the challenges . John 

758
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:40,520
Boyd , legendary fighter pilot and 

759
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,830
father of the F-16 , formulated most of 

760
00:49:42,830 --> 00:49:44,989
his ideas about advanced fighter . 

761
00:49:46,179 --> 00:49:48,610
combat tactics while in Korea as a 

762
00:49:48,610 --> 00:49:51,760
lieutenant . Ira Bo , America's ace , 

763
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:54,750
who eventually scored 40 aerial 

764
00:49:54,750 --> 00:49:57,479
victories during World War II , first 

765
00:49:57,479 --> 00:50:00,449
became an ace as a lieutenant . In fact , 

766
00:50:00,699 --> 00:50:02,699
Hap Arnold , the father of the Air 

767
00:50:02,699 --> 00:50:04,899
Force , was a 2nd lieutenant when he 

768
00:50:04,899 --> 00:50:06,939
talked his way in to the Wright 

769
00:50:06,939 --> 00:50:09,217
brothers' aeronautical training course . 

770
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,790
Undeterred by advice that he should not 

771
00:50:13,159 --> 00:50:16,550
join the aviation duty community only 

772
00:50:16,550 --> 00:50:18,828
because if he wished to commit suicide . 

773
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,610
He became the US's military first pilot 

774
00:50:22,939 --> 00:50:25,106
and laid the groundwork for everything 

775
00:50:25,106 --> 00:50:27,949
you see here today . Innovation and 

776
00:50:27,949 --> 00:50:30,419
initiative is in our DNA . The young 

777
00:50:30,419 --> 00:50:32,989
people like like yourselves are the 

778
00:50:32,989 --> 00:50:35,310
sources of many of our proudest 

779
00:50:35,310 --> 00:50:36,310
