1
00:00:31,651 --> 00:00:34,901
(car engines humming)
2
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,850
(helicopter rumbling)
3
00:00:43,850 --> 00:00:45,317
- Good morning, I'm Colonel Jim Ryan.
4
00:00:45,317 --> 00:00:47,757
I'm the commander of the 4315th
5
00:00:47,757 --> 00:00:48,960
Combat Group Training Squadron
6
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,280
and I want to welcome you to Vandenberg Air Force Base
7
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,900
and to initial qualification and training
8
00:00:55,550 --> 00:00:57,970
for the Minuteman Improved Launch Control System
9
00:00:57,970 --> 00:00:59,955
at Whiteman Air Force Base
10
00:00:59,955 --> 00:01:01,710
and Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.
11
00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:04,560
I want to welcome you to one of the most challenging careers
12
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,430
in the United States Air Force, the land-based ICBM.
13
00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:11,260
You know, our theory of nuclear deterrence
14
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:12,850
which we're gonna talk about a lot tomorrow,
15
00:01:12,850 --> 00:01:15,080
by the way, when we have our PRAPS,
16
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,940
which is our Professional Responsibility Seminar.
17
00:01:17,940 --> 00:01:20,600
I'm gonna talk a lot about your responsibilities,
18
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080
the awesome responsibility that you're gonna have
19
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,260
as crew members when you go down deep
20
00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:26,960
into the bowels of the earth.
21
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,730
And are responsible for ten missiles,
22
00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:32,770
each with one nuclear warhead on them,
23
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:35,100
and you could be responsible for your whole squadron's
24
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,810
missiles of 50 nuclear weapons,
25
00:01:37,810 --> 00:01:41,259
50 missiles with nuclear weapons on each one.
26
00:01:41,259 --> 00:01:43,370
Anyway, I want to welcome you to this.
27
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:46,070
And you're part of the strategic triad
28
00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:48,789
which consists of land-based ICBMs,
29
00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:51,610
sub-launched ballistic missiles and then bombers.
30
00:01:51,610 --> 00:01:54,191
But the bulk of the deterrent force
31
00:01:54,191 --> 00:01:55,473
is carried by the land-based ICBM
32
00:01:55,473 --> 00:01:57,509
because we maintain 98% alert rates.
33
00:01:57,509 --> 00:01:59,840
They don't maintain near that in the sub-launched
34
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,806
ballistic missile force or the bomber force.
35
00:02:01,806 --> 00:02:03,464
Mainly because it's prohibitively expensive.
36
00:02:03,464 --> 00:02:07,120
So, the day-to-day nuclear deterrence of this country
37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,199
is carried on by a land-based ICBM force.
38
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,150
And you're gonna be a part of that.
39
00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:14,433
Before you are, though, you're gonna
40
00:02:14,433 --> 00:02:15,410
go through a tough program here.
41
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:18,050
This is considered to be one of the toughest schools
42
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:19,750
in the United States Air Force.
43
00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:23,313
We've had folks here who have come in from pilot training,
44
00:02:23,313 --> 00:02:25,363
they didn't make it in pilot training
45
00:02:25,363 --> 00:02:27,980
because they got airsick or whatever,
46
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:29,700
and they come through missile training
47
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:31,700
and they'll tell me that this is 10 times
48
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:33,370
tougher than pilot training, the course.
49
00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:37,188
Mainly because we compress into 14 weeks,
50
00:02:37,188 --> 00:02:39,730
you know, a very, very complex weapons system.
51
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:41,997
And you're going to learn that weapons system
52
00:02:41,997 --> 00:02:44,150
from stem to stern, if I can say that, use that Navy term.
53
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:45,710
You're gonna know all the systems,
54
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:47,820
you're gonna know all the command and control.
55
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:49,584
You're gonna know all the safety systems,
56
00:02:49,584 --> 00:02:51,220
and all the security requirements and so forth.
57
00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:52,450
And we do that in fourteen weeks.
58
00:02:52,450 --> 00:02:53,650
So, it's a big plateful.
59
00:03:21,472 --> 00:03:22,305
What we're gonna do today is talk about
60
00:03:22,305 --> 00:03:25,324
the awesome responsibilities that you're gonna have
61
00:03:25,324 --> 00:03:26,157
as crew members.
62
00:03:26,157 --> 00:03:28,010
And we're gonna have a little seminar
63
00:03:28,010 --> 00:03:31,230
and hopefully we'll get good dialogue going here
64
00:03:31,230 --> 00:03:34,912
on, you know, the moral responsibilities,
65
00:03:34,912 --> 00:03:37,660
and then at the end of this day,
66
00:03:37,660 --> 00:03:40,670
we're gonna ask you to sign a piece of paper
67
00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:42,220
that says that you have thought
68
00:03:43,457 --> 00:03:46,307
of all the moral implications about inserting launch keys
69
00:03:47,247 --> 00:03:49,457
and that you have no reservations that if
70
00:03:49,457 --> 00:03:52,450
the President of the United States deems
71
00:03:52,450 --> 00:03:54,210
that our way of life is threatened
72
00:03:55,079 --> 00:03:56,900
and that it's about to be over,
73
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:59,480
that you have no hesitation once that you
74
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,534
have authenticated the message,
75
00:04:01,534 --> 00:04:03,110
you know that it's the President talking,
76
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:04,550
that you'll insert your launch keys
77
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:05,850
and launch those missiles.
78
00:04:06,690 --> 00:04:09,570
And you know full well the consequences
79
00:04:09,570 --> 00:04:11,290
of launching those missiles
80
00:04:11,290 --> 00:04:14,571
which are equipped with nuclear warheads
81
00:04:14,571 --> 00:04:16,893
and the great devastation that that'll bring.
82
00:04:17,980 --> 00:04:20,100
And we want you to think about that.
83
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,240
We don't want you to capriciously
84
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,010
go through this program and be robots
85
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:28,047
in inserting launch keys.
86
00:04:28,047 --> 00:04:30,450
We want you to fully comprehend the awesomeness
87
00:04:30,450 --> 00:04:33,123
of this responsibility.
88
00:04:33,123 --> 00:04:34,500
Now, to kind of begin this seminar,
89
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,470
I'd like to just throw out a question.
90
00:04:37,470 --> 00:04:40,560
And I want to talk about the legality or illegality
91
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,183
of orders.
92
00:04:42,183 --> 00:04:43,712
Is there such a thing as an illegal order?
93
00:04:43,712 --> 00:04:44,931
Anybody?
94
00:04:44,931 --> 00:04:48,370
- An order from authority that's not duly constituted.
95
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:53,150
Perhaps the wing commander might tell you
96
00:04:53,150 --> 00:04:57,690
to fly your airplane somewhere that you know is not,
97
00:04:57,690 --> 00:05:00,033
he's not empowered to be able to direct that.
98
00:05:01,090 --> 00:05:02,140
- [Col. Ryan] Very good.
99
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:03,970
You have, a yes, ma'am? Back there.
100
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:06,260
- Isn't it just something that would be in conflict
101
00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:08,563
with a regulation or a directive?
102
00:05:09,821 --> 00:05:11,296
- Okay, certainly, yeah.
103
00:05:11,296 --> 00:05:12,420
We have regulations, obviously,
104
00:05:12,420 --> 00:05:15,350
that would prohibit me from ordering someone
105
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:18,734
to go solicit prostitutes or something like that.
106
00:05:18,734 --> 00:05:21,260
Yeah, that's clearly illegal because it violates regulation.
107
00:05:21,260 --> 00:05:25,180
Okay, uh, let me make this a little bit tougher.
108
00:05:25,180 --> 00:05:29,926
Okay, how many remember the My Lai incident
109
00:05:29,926 --> 00:05:32,586
that occurred during the Vietnam War?
110
00:05:32,586 --> 00:05:33,815
Yeah?
111
00:05:33,815 --> 00:05:34,648
Can you just sort of summarize?
112
00:05:35,740 --> 00:05:36,740
And remember, we don't want to cast moral judgment
113
00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:39,536
on Lieutenant Calley or any of the people
114
00:05:39,536 --> 00:05:41,600
involved but there's a purpose for kind of reviewing this.
115
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,190
Would you kind of tell me a little about that incident?
116
00:05:44,190 --> 00:05:46,830
I don't know that much about it but I, from what I remember
117
00:05:46,830 --> 00:05:49,159
Lieutenant Calley felt that he had been ordered
118
00:05:49,159 --> 00:05:51,850
by his superiors to enter a village
119
00:05:51,850 --> 00:05:54,197
and basically take the village out.
120
00:05:54,197 --> 00:05:56,640
And that included killing women and children.
121
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,650
And, of course, in my opinion, it was an illegal order,
122
00:06:00,650 --> 00:06:03,243
but, that's basically all I know about it.
123
00:06:04,311 --> 00:06:06,370
- [Col. Ryan] Okay, anybody want to try and say
124
00:06:07,468 --> 00:06:09,055
a little bit more to put this thing in perspective?
125
00:06:09,055 --> 00:06:11,210
Okay, let me just say some things about that-that whole
126
00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:13,556
Yeah, did you have a point that you want to make?
127
00:06:13,556 --> 00:06:16,800
Okay, first of all, that war.
128
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,090
Warfare is becoming much more complex.
129
00:06:19,090 --> 00:06:21,550
Sometime back in history, you know,
130
00:06:21,550 --> 00:06:24,000
the combatants were clearly identified,
131
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,930
they had lines of battle, and I don't mean to imply
132
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:31,760
that warfare was ever pleasant or nice,
133
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,276
because, you know, after the combatants
134
00:06:34,276 --> 00:06:36,069
were out there fighting then there was a rape and pillage
135
00:06:36,069 --> 00:06:37,268
that went on after that.
136
00:06:37,268 --> 00:06:41,070
But, at least, you know, you could tell who the enemy was.
137
00:06:41,070 --> 00:06:43,680
And, of course, in Vietnam it was very, very difficult
138
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,810
because there were clearly the North Vietnamese regulars
139
00:06:46,810 --> 00:06:49,748
who wore a uniform such as we wore
140
00:06:49,748 --> 00:06:52,140
but there were also an enemy with the Viet Cong
141
00:06:52,140 --> 00:06:57,140
that were in South Vietnam who were involved in sabotage
142
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,814
and that sort of thing and they wore
143
00:06:59,814 --> 00:07:00,780
the same garb as peasants.
144
00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:02,350
And they weren't always men either.
145
00:07:02,350 --> 00:07:04,710
They were women and in some cases
146
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:07,880
very young men who might be classified as children.
147
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,360
So it made it very, very complex as to who the enemy was.
148
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,380
But basically what happened at My Lai,
149
00:07:14,380 --> 00:07:16,920
as best that we can recount,
150
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,660
was that Lieutenant Calley, he says,
151
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:23,480
received some orders to waste some civilians.
152
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,040
And there were some older men and women,
153
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,290
supposedly, and some children and others.
154
00:07:29,290 --> 00:07:30,150
Okay.
155
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:32,560
So, here he was, person on the spot,
156
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,010
he received an order to waste
157
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,005
and, is that an illegal or a legal order that he received?
158
00:07:40,005 --> 00:07:41,321
Anybody got any thoughts on that?
159
00:07:41,321 --> 00:07:42,393
And why?
160
00:07:44,930 --> 00:07:47,130
Okay, yes, sir?
161
00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:49,790
- Well, sir, maybe he was being asked to violate the laws
162
00:07:49,790 --> 00:07:53,950
and those were not lawful combatants that he was.
163
00:07:53,950 --> 00:07:55,270
They weren't armed perhaps.
164
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:59,784
They weren't uniformed members of an opposing force.
165
00:07:59,784 --> 00:08:04,785
They posed no threat perhaps to his platoon.
166
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,633
- Okay.
167
00:08:06,875 --> 00:08:08,041
That's a very good point.
168
00:08:08,041 --> 00:08:08,874
Okay.
169
00:08:08,874 --> 00:08:10,270
Basically, he's saying a measured response.
170
00:08:10,270 --> 00:08:11,896
Okay.
171
00:08:11,896 --> 00:08:14,623
Let's go back just a little bit into a court of law.
172
00:08:15,636 --> 00:08:19,240
For example, when a person goes on trial
173
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,210
in this country, murder is clearly illegal
174
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:23,463
and immoral as well.
175
00:08:24,452 --> 00:08:28,290
Okay, but does that mean that killing is always illegal?
176
00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:30,283
Is killing someone always illegal?
177
00:08:31,420 --> 00:08:32,880
Now, when is it not illegal?
178
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,570
- Well, there's situations where it's justified.
179
00:08:35,570 --> 00:08:39,243
In self-defense or in prevention of a serious felony.
180
00:08:40,256 --> 00:08:42,481
- [Col. Ryan. Okay, Absolutely, yes, ma'am?
181
00:08:42,481 --> 00:08:44,191
- [Trainee] Execution by the state.
182
00:08:44,191 --> 00:08:45,403
- Okay.
183
00:08:45,403 --> 00:08:46,236
Execution by the state.
184
00:08:46,236 --> 00:08:47,069
Okay.
185
00:08:47,069 --> 00:08:48,453
And that's under.
186
00:08:48,453 --> 00:08:50,333
There're may people who have different views on that but,
187
00:08:53,769 --> 00:08:55,414
clearly, and even though there are those
188
00:08:55,414 --> 00:08:57,226
of certain religious persuasions that say
189
00:08:57,226 --> 00:08:59,467
that you really ought not kill even in self-defense,
190
00:08:59,467 --> 00:09:00,300
generally, our Judeo-Christian ethic would say that,
191
00:09:02,926 --> 00:09:04,124
you know, if you are seriously threatened,
192
00:09:04,124 --> 00:09:05,835
your life is threatened, that you have the right,
193
00:09:05,835 --> 00:09:07,640
both the legal and moral right, to defend yourself.
194
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,260
Okay, but I want to talk about that measured response.
195
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:12,190
Does that mean necessarily that if you're threatened
196
00:09:12,190 --> 00:09:13,910
that you can go for the jugular?
197
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:16,840
- [Trainee] No, sir, minimum force would be the object.
198
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,063
- Yeah, minimum force required to repel the attacker.
199
00:09:21,010 --> 00:09:23,837
Okay, I hope all these things are starting to,
200
00:09:23,837 --> 00:09:25,560
you know, make a point here.
201
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:27,960
Because we're talking about a measured response.
202
00:09:28,859 --> 00:09:33,079
Okay, so, tough, these are not easy questions.
203
00:09:33,079 --> 00:09:36,170
You know, there're not easy answers to these questions.
204
00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:38,560
Okay, let me talk about the Holocaust a little bit.
205
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:40,630
How many people remember the Holocaust?
206
00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:42,707
Or reading about the Holocaust?
207
00:09:42,707 --> 00:09:43,540
Because you don't remember it, I do.
208
00:09:43,540 --> 00:09:44,714
Yes, ma'am?
209
00:09:44,714 --> 00:09:46,170
Can you kind of summarize that one for us?
210
00:09:46,170 --> 00:09:48,377
- Nazi Germany under Hitler,
211
00:09:48,377 --> 00:09:51,891
the decision was made at the higher levels
212
00:09:51,891 --> 00:09:55,570
that people of Jewish descent,
213
00:09:55,570 --> 00:09:57,670
people of Gypsy descent,
214
00:09:57,670 --> 00:10:01,959
a lot of Catholics, et cetera, were not necessarily
215
00:10:01,959 --> 00:10:04,470
as human as the Aryan race
216
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:06,790
and they were put in concentration camps.
217
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:09,200
And in death camps also.
218
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,510
And, a total of about seven million people,
219
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:17,170
I believe, were killed during World War II,
220
00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:20,620
before and during World War II, during the Holocaust.
221
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,560
Mostly Jewish, but also most of the Gypsies
222
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:25,530
that were left in Europe.
223
00:10:25,530 --> 00:10:28,260
- [Officer] Okay, what happened after World War II?
224
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:30,500
Did any of those people come to trial
225
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:32,966
that were responsible for this?
226
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:34,584
- [Trainee] That'd be the Nuremberg trials.
227
00:10:34,584 --> 00:10:37,262
- [Col. Ryan] Yeah, the Nuremberg trials.
228
00:10:37,262 --> 00:10:38,443
Okay, who tried whom at the Nuremberg trials?
229
00:10:39,545 --> 00:10:40,660
- It was a contingent of the Allied countries,
230
00:10:40,660 --> 00:10:44,591
I think, over there that tried them at Nuremberg.
231
00:10:44,591 --> 00:10:46,950
- [Col. Ryan] Okay, and what was the defense
232
00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:48,663
of most of those defendants?
233
00:10:49,605 --> 00:10:51,320
- [Margo] Following orders.
234
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,002
- [Col. Ryan] Following orders.
235
00:10:53,002 --> 00:10:55,170
And what basically was the view of those
236
00:10:55,170 --> 00:10:59,463
that were the ones that were conducting the trials, yeah?
237
00:10:59,463 --> 00:11:02,540
- There's a point that a person
238
00:11:02,540 --> 00:11:05,325
has to take responsibility for his own actions.
239
00:11:05,325 --> 00:11:06,750
He can't simply rotely follow orders.
240
00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:08,570
He's gotta think out a moral judgment.
241
00:11:08,570 --> 00:11:09,660
He's got to make a moral judgment
242
00:11:09,660 --> 00:11:11,660
and say, I can only go so far.
243
00:11:11,660 --> 00:11:13,650
I can't take these orders any farther
244
00:11:13,650 --> 00:11:16,283
because they violate certain moral principles.
245
00:11:17,170 --> 00:11:19,990
- Okay, now what makes this world we're in
246
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:23,980
very very complex is that as you go down
247
00:11:23,980 --> 00:11:26,030
into the bowels of the earth every night,
248
00:11:27,230 --> 00:11:29,980
you may not get an opportunity
249
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:32,683
as such to evaluate the situation.
250
00:11:34,091 --> 00:11:35,704
Although you're going to be getting intelligence reports.
251
00:11:35,704 --> 00:11:37,260
You're not going to be working completely in a vacuum.
252
00:11:37,260 --> 00:11:41,270
You're not gonna get that klaxon at night that says,
253
00:11:41,270 --> 00:11:44,150
okay, our way of life is threatened, probably.
254
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:45,700
Insert your keys and launch your weapons.
255
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:48,209
You're going to be getting the intelligence build-up
256
00:11:48,209 --> 00:11:49,860
and so forth that goes along with that.
257
00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:53,950
But the problem with our business is that,
258
00:11:53,950 --> 00:11:58,236
you know, we have to make certain assessments
259
00:11:58,236 --> 00:12:01,393
long before that klaxon rings.
260
00:12:02,350 --> 00:12:04,890
And this is why we start right here.
261
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:07,865
And all we're gonna do, we're not gonna do very much
262
00:12:07,865 --> 00:12:09,265
in a half hour, forty-five minutes,
263
00:12:09,265 --> 00:12:10,310
we're not gonna resolve these problems for you,
264
00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:12,780
but what we're trying to do is to plant the seed
265
00:12:12,780 --> 00:12:14,850
so that you can talk about this.
266
00:12:14,850 --> 00:12:19,430
Because you have to, as you go through our program,
267
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:20,973
decide in your own mind that,
268
00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:25,973
that our way of life is such and that our command
269
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,200
and control system and our weapon system is such
270
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,770
that the President of the United States
271
00:12:31,770 --> 00:12:34,450
is not gonna ask you to insert those launch keys
272
00:12:34,450 --> 00:12:37,770
until, you know, there's just no other option,
273
00:12:37,770 --> 00:12:39,223
it's the final solution.
274
00:12:40,190 --> 00:12:42,320
And, you know, you have to,
275
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,930
it's important that you understand how all that works
276
00:12:44,930 --> 00:12:47,003
in order to understand that and believe that.
277
00:12:47,926 --> 00:12:49,693
It also is important that you understand,
278
00:12:49,693 --> 00:12:51,820
and I guarantee you, you will when you finish our school,
279
00:12:51,820 --> 00:12:56,210
that you understand all of the multi-layered systems
280
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:59,530
that we have to insure that you're not going to get
281
00:12:59,530 --> 00:13:02,090
a spurious order or that some kook
282
00:13:02,090 --> 00:13:04,240
isn't gonna be sending the order down
283
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,090
and you're gonna be launching in anger
284
00:13:06,090 --> 00:13:08,020
that is not authorized by the one person,
285
00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:09,850
the one person, don't ever forget this,
286
00:13:09,850 --> 00:13:11,610
who can authorize a launch and that's
287
00:13:11,610 --> 00:13:13,120
the President of the United States.
288
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,166
Any other thoughts or reflections on this?
289
00:13:15,166 --> 00:13:16,083
Yes, ma'am?
290
00:13:17,729 --> 00:13:20,310
- Just something that I've always thought.
291
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:22,153
Again, I was stationed at Whiteman.
292
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:25,849
If you look at military history,
293
00:13:25,849 --> 00:13:27,800
and I think there are several history buffs here,
294
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,000
they can attest to the fact that normally a war
295
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,950
is never started against a nation that's prepared for it.
296
00:13:33,950 --> 00:13:35,620
Whenever there has been a war in history,
297
00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:37,880
it's a surprise attack against a nation
298
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,900
that is not armed as well as it could be.
299
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,990
And as long as people are ready and people do continue
300
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:47,884
to be ready, equipment-wise,
301
00:13:47,884 --> 00:13:51,660
the odds of our ever having to use the equipment
302
00:13:51,660 --> 00:13:56,480
are so low that they're almost non-existent.
303
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,320
Because we are prepared.
304
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,401
- [Col. Ryan] Anybody else have anything
305
00:14:00,401 --> 00:14:01,234
they'd like to say, yes?
306
00:14:01,234 --> 00:14:04,490
- I spent six years as a police officer and I know I often,
307
00:14:04,490 --> 00:14:07,840
on a smaller scale, ran across the same questions.
308
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,550
Why do you carry a gun?
309
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:11,884
You know, there are certain police departments
310
00:14:11,884 --> 00:14:13,450
across the world that don't allow their officers,
311
00:14:13,450 --> 00:14:15,100
by and large, to carry weapons
312
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:17,433
because they feel that it's an inhibiting factor.
313
00:14:17,433 --> 00:14:21,470
And I felt that I carried a weapon mainly to keep the peace
314
00:14:21,470 --> 00:14:24,020
and to protect myself because there are elements out there
315
00:14:24,020 --> 00:14:27,330
that do not have the same value structure that I have
316
00:14:27,330 --> 00:14:31,270
and do not consider life all that worthwhile
317
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:34,060
and would be very very willing to kill me
318
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:36,820
or someone else to achieve the aims
319
00:14:36,820 --> 00:14:38,430
that they really want to.
320
00:14:38,430 --> 00:14:40,010
And that's something that I remember
321
00:14:40,010 --> 00:14:41,810
as a young officer struggling with.
322
00:14:41,810 --> 00:14:43,760
And I came to grips with it, simply,
323
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,680
in a situation where I did have to,
324
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,152
almost, defend myself and I'm very happy that I had a weapon
325
00:14:49,152 --> 00:14:50,600
there because, I didn't have to use it,
326
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,770
but it was an inhibiting factor in,
327
00:14:51,770 --> 00:14:55,553
you know, that I think it helped deter any more violence.
328
00:14:56,912 --> 00:14:59,050
- Chaplain Whitley, the first mission I ever flew
329
00:14:59,050 --> 00:15:01,220
as a combat-ready crew member
330
00:15:01,220 --> 00:15:05,452
was over Southeast Asia, dropping live bombs.
331
00:15:05,452 --> 00:15:08,550
There's some more stories that go along with that
332
00:15:08,550 --> 00:15:11,350
but the point of that story is to say
333
00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:13,910
that the first day that you're on,
334
00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:16,730
you pull crew duty, the first day that you go down
335
00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:20,220
in a hole, the first day you sit in front of that console
336
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:22,250
may be the day that you're gonna be asked
337
00:15:22,250 --> 00:15:26,445
to respond with the greatest integrity that you have.
338
00:15:26,445 --> 00:15:29,750
Now's the time to start preparing for that.
339
00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:31,970
You can't wait and say, hey, I'll study
340
00:15:31,970 --> 00:15:34,670
all about these kinds of issues
341
00:15:34,670 --> 00:15:37,900
during some of my crew time or during my crew tours.
342
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:40,095
I'll answer those questions later.
343
00:15:40,095 --> 00:15:43,850
You may not have an opportunity to answer those questions.
344
00:15:43,850 --> 00:15:46,380
You may be asked the question before you're ready
345
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:47,943
to respond if you try to wait.
346
00:15:49,070 --> 00:15:51,040
- In my judgment, as long as you people,
347
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,746
and I mean you people,
348
00:15:52,746 --> 00:15:53,750
because this is what you're gonna be doing,
349
00:15:53,750 --> 00:15:56,490
as long as you're down there and you're highly-trained
350
00:15:56,490 --> 00:15:58,540
and you're capable and you have the will,
351
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,560
you know, to respond to the President of this nation,
352
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,054
that should our way of life be threatened,
353
00:16:05,054 --> 00:16:09,240
it's gonna be snuffed out, that you'll launch your weapons.
354
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,380
So, deterrence really is two steps back from that.
355
00:16:12,380 --> 00:16:14,870
Deterrence is two steps back from that.
356
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:19,670
That knowing that, the Soviet Union, or anybody else
357
00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:24,110
who has the capability to bomb us back to the Dark Ages,
358
00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:28,040
won't do it because the risks are unacceptable.
359
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,966
That's what deterrence is all about.
360
00:16:29,966 --> 00:16:31,970
And it's tough.
361
00:16:31,970 --> 00:16:34,430
It's tough because you're down there
362
00:16:34,430 --> 00:16:36,920
and you have at your fingertips,
363
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,250
not really at your fingertips because you've got
364
00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:40,280
a lot of command and control to go through,
365
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,015
but you have at your fingertips, you know,
366
00:16:42,015 --> 00:16:45,240
the power to launch the world into nuclear darkness.
367
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,423
I want you to sort of remember this.
368
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:51,670
What makes our nation great, and what makes our Air Force
369
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:53,760
and our military forces so great,
370
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,293
is that we respond to the American people.
371
00:16:58,610 --> 00:17:00,928
I remember, again General Doherty,
372
00:17:00,928 --> 00:17:01,761
and you'll hear me talk about him a lot,
373
00:17:01,761 --> 00:17:03,596
There's an article that I've asked you all to read
374
00:17:03,596 --> 00:17:05,887
that General Doherty wrote and it's called,
375
00:17:05,887 --> 00:17:08,288
"Ours is an Honorable Profession".
376
00:17:08,288 --> 00:17:09,270
I really want you to read that.
377
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:11,626
I keep my copy, it's dog-eared,
378
00:17:11,626 --> 00:17:14,260
but it is an honorable profession.
379
00:17:14,260 --> 00:17:17,788
And someone asked him one time when he was at CINCSAC,
380
00:17:17,788 --> 00:17:21,910
he said, General, how secure are our bases?
381
00:17:21,910 --> 00:17:24,310
In other words, you know, the security policeman
382
00:17:25,564 --> 00:17:27,290
back there would understand this,
383
00:17:27,290 --> 00:17:29,478
and General Dougherty answered this way.
384
00:17:29,478 --> 00:17:31,700
He said, our bases are as secure
385
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:33,890
as the American people want them to be.
386
00:17:33,890 --> 00:17:36,090
Generally speaking, we don't want our bases
387
00:17:36,090 --> 00:17:37,370
to be armed camps.
388
00:17:37,370 --> 00:17:39,700
Our bases belong to the American people.
389
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:41,620
We are servants of the American people
390
00:17:41,620 --> 00:17:44,150
and we do everything we can to let people come on our bases.
391
00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:45,620
Now, obviously, there are certain things
392
00:17:45,620 --> 00:17:47,490
that we've got to protect against
393
00:17:47,490 --> 00:17:50,320
that outer fringe out there that you have in any society,
394
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,620
the nuts, but, you know, who'd seek to come in
395
00:17:53,620 --> 00:17:56,060
and kill people and destroy property
396
00:17:56,060 --> 00:17:58,040
and that sort of thing, but.
397
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,010
We are the servants of the American people.
398
00:18:01,010 --> 00:18:04,310
They ask a great deal of us.
399
00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:07,000
They ask, you know, a commitment,
400
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,300
a professionalism over and above
401
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:11,880
what they ask of anybody else who might be working
402
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,253
in some other walk of life.
403
00:18:14,570 --> 00:18:16,693
It's a tremendous charge to all of us.
404
00:18:17,881 --> 00:18:19,410
And you, who are going to be going down
405
00:18:19,410 --> 00:18:22,420
with this awesome responsibility have an even greater
406
00:18:22,420 --> 00:18:24,668
responsibility beyond that,
407
00:18:24,668 --> 00:18:26,280
beyond the normal Air Force officer.
408
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,200
And, every once in a while, when you're down there
409
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,540
on alert and, you know, when you've run your checks
410
00:18:30,540 --> 00:18:32,350
and done all those things and get a chance
411
00:18:32,350 --> 00:18:35,440
to reflect, please reflect on that.
412
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,670
That the American people, they really trust us.
413
00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:42,200
They trust us to protect them.
414
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,680
They trust us to make good judgments.
415
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,730
They trust us, you know, not to do something
416
00:18:47,730 --> 00:18:49,730
that would ever make them ashamed of us.
417
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:53,740
This is a Professional Responsibility Seminar.
418
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:57,050
And this is the first day before you get into some
419
00:18:57,050 --> 00:19:00,450
very intense training on a very complex weapons system.
420
00:19:00,450 --> 00:19:03,010
And when you finish here, you will understand
421
00:19:03,010 --> 00:19:06,010
the weapon system but you always need to reflect
422
00:19:06,010 --> 00:19:08,983
on your professional responsibilities.
423
00:19:35,452 --> 00:19:36,360
- Never point a weapon at anything
424
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:38,320
unless you intend to shoot it.
425
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,568
A lot of people out on the firing line,
426
00:19:40,568 --> 00:19:42,910
something goes wrong with their weapon,
427
00:19:42,910 --> 00:19:46,550
they forget they have a pistol in their hand, malfunction,
428
00:19:46,550 --> 00:19:49,080
somethings wrong, they start looking for an instructor
429
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,756
and they start moving left and right,
430
00:19:51,756 --> 00:19:52,860
moving their body.
431
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:53,856
Where's the barrel pointing?
432
00:19:53,856 --> 00:19:55,561
Well, usually, it's pointed at the shooter next to them
433
00:19:55,561 --> 00:19:56,620
or the instructor, something like that.
434
00:19:56,620 --> 00:19:57,640
Well, I really didn't think
435
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,910
they were gonna shoot that person, so.
436
00:19:59,910 --> 00:20:02,390
Make sure that you always keep your weapon pointed
437
00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:04,740
straight and level or at your target
438
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:07,300
but always treat every weapon as if it was loaded.
439
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:12,300
Too many times a lot of people think it's not loaded up
440
00:20:12,620 --> 00:20:15,560
with any ammunition, they'll pick the weapons up
441
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,000
and, might be a mental lapse or whatever,
442
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,720
and they'll just start pulling the trigger.
443
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,290
I've even seen it as far as instructors
444
00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:25,910
sometimes or shooters who have used guns
445
00:20:25,910 --> 00:20:28,010
for many a length of time.
446
00:20:28,010 --> 00:20:29,380
They'll just start firing this weapon
447
00:20:29,380 --> 00:20:32,390
or dry firing it, not realizing that sometimes
448
00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:35,210
there is a round in the chambers and therefore, boom,
449
00:20:35,210 --> 00:20:37,041
it goes off, okay?
450
00:20:37,041 --> 00:20:39,440
Many, many times it has happened.
451
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,050
A good friend of mine, he went home, he,
452
00:20:42,050 --> 00:20:45,167
shotgun, thought it was cleared after last time
453
00:20:45,167 --> 00:20:46,830
he went out hunting, and he pointed it.
454
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:49,203
He was pointing it at his wife.
455
00:20:49,203 --> 00:20:50,080
He was pointing it at his kids.
456
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,140
Really dumb.
457
00:20:52,140 --> 00:20:54,420
And then he pointed it at his TV and he pulled the trigger
458
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:56,530
and blew his TV all apart, you know?
459
00:20:56,530 --> 00:20:58,830
So, he just got through pointing it at his wife,
460
00:20:58,830 --> 00:21:00,350
just got through pointing it at his kids,
461
00:21:00,350 --> 00:21:01,979
he didn't know it.
462
00:21:01,979 --> 00:21:03,646
And then he went into the shake factor
463
00:21:03,646 --> 00:21:06,390
for a little bit because of what he could have done.
464
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:09,372
So, do make sure, especially today,
465
00:21:09,372 --> 00:21:11,050
the instructors'll be checking the weapons,
466
00:21:11,050 --> 00:21:13,180
but when you're firing them, when you get done shooting,
467
00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:15,200
make sure that the weapon is clear.
468
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,850
Okay, and then before you pick it up,
469
00:21:16,850 --> 00:21:18,980
always treat it as if it was loaded.
470
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:20,462
Okay?
471
00:21:20,462 --> 00:21:21,700
First off, as you can look at it,
472
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:26,400
it's an M-15 Smith and Wesson Combat Masterpiece.
473
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,410
That's the name that the Air Force places on this weapon,
474
00:21:29,410 --> 00:21:31,480
Combat Masterpiece, okay?
475
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,890
Supposedly, sometimes, you will,
476
00:21:32,890 --> 00:21:35,380
supposedly gonna use it in combat.
477
00:21:35,380 --> 00:21:40,040
Okay, M-15 Smith and Wesson Combat Masterpiece, okay?
478
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,660
And it fires six shots, okay?
479
00:21:42,660 --> 00:21:44,100
It's a six cylinder weapon.
480
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:46,680
It fires in two modes, and you will be using
481
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,870
both modes of fire.
482
00:21:49,001 --> 00:21:49,890
Now if you can see my good mock-up,
483
00:21:49,890 --> 00:21:53,036
the one that I take over to A-Fees anytime I want free food.
484
00:21:53,036 --> 00:21:56,475
And they do give me free food whenever I wheel this in there
485
00:21:56,475 --> 00:21:58,156
and say cheeseburgers or whatever.
486
00:21:58,156 --> 00:21:58,989
(class laughing)
487
00:21:58,989 --> 00:22:00,043
Two modes of fire.
488
00:22:01,537 --> 00:22:03,137
Single action and double action.
489
00:22:04,413 --> 00:22:07,350
Okay, most of the time, you should be using single action.
490
00:22:07,350 --> 00:22:10,930
And single action is nothing more but reaching up,
491
00:22:10,930 --> 00:22:12,840
you're not gonna have to use two hands,
492
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,563
but reaching up and cocking the hammer, just like that.
493
00:22:18,351 --> 00:22:21,330
For a person to shoot expert, you must use this mode of fire
494
00:22:21,330 --> 00:22:23,470
most of the time during the course.
495
00:22:23,470 --> 00:22:26,300
You will have to use the other type later on.
496
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:29,030
But most of the time you should use single action,
497
00:22:29,030 --> 00:22:30,930
if you want to shoot good today.
498
00:22:30,930 --> 00:22:34,153
That's nothing more but reaching up and cocking the hammer.
499
00:22:34,153 --> 00:22:35,176
When you're ready to fire.
500
00:22:35,176 --> 00:22:36,264
(clicking)
501
00:22:36,264 --> 00:22:37,603
Pull the trigger and it's gonna fire.
502
00:22:38,484 --> 00:22:40,090
Okay, That's single action.
503
00:22:40,090 --> 00:22:42,360
Double action, the other mode of firing
504
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,887
is nothing more but pulling the.
505
00:22:44,887 --> 00:22:49,887
Pulling the trigger until it fires.
506
00:22:50,770 --> 00:22:52,590
Just like so.
507
00:22:52,590 --> 00:22:55,270
And that's the other mode of firing that you will be using.
508
00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:57,860
So, there's two modes of firing you will use
509
00:22:57,860 --> 00:23:01,740
called single action and double action.
510
00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:03,160
Okay?
511
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,320
The maximum effective range is 50 yards.
512
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,130
Now, 50 yards, think about it.
513
00:23:08,130 --> 00:23:09,440
Maximum effective.
514
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,530
That's what me and you as an average shooter
515
00:23:12,530 --> 00:23:15,410
can consistently hit a man-sized target.
516
00:23:15,410 --> 00:23:16,960
50 yards.
517
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,876
Meaning, you should pick up a weapon,
518
00:23:18,876 --> 00:23:20,598
eight rounds out of ten, you should place it
519
00:23:20,598 --> 00:23:22,670
pretty good on a target.
520
00:23:22,670 --> 00:23:24,701
Okay, a man-sized target.
521
00:23:24,701 --> 00:23:26,353
- [Trainee] I think I'd better wear my shoes.
522
00:23:27,899 --> 00:23:28,997
- Shooters, headsets on,
523
00:23:28,997 --> 00:23:29,963
move forward and lay down.
524
00:23:33,788 --> 00:23:37,310
Once you lay down, reach over and grab five rounds.
525
00:23:37,310 --> 00:23:40,023
Once you have five rounds in your hand, load and lock.
526
00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:56,380
Remember whatever the instructors have been telling you.
527
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:57,240
Some of you might have to listen up.
528
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,060
Quit doing the things that you did
529
00:23:59,060 --> 00:24:00,570
on the previous ten rounds.
530
00:24:00,570 --> 00:24:02,524
Listen to your instructors.
531
00:24:02,524 --> 00:24:03,890
Some of you are gonna have to listen up a little bit harder.
532
00:24:03,890 --> 00:24:05,420
All these rounds from here on out
533
00:24:05,420 --> 00:24:06,990
are for qualification scores.
534
00:24:06,990 --> 00:24:09,997
Two forty-five or better to qualify.
535
00:24:09,997 --> 00:24:13,563
It's gonna be six rounds, prone position.
536
00:24:16,210 --> 00:24:17,610
Get in a good position.
537
00:24:17,610 --> 00:24:19,180
We will not start the time limit
538
00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:21,643
until the very first round goes off.
539
00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:24,390
So the time limit does not start when I say,
540
00:24:24,390 --> 00:24:26,190
commence fire, but it starts when I hear
541
00:24:26,190 --> 00:24:28,073
that first round go off.
542
00:24:30,430 --> 00:24:32,114
Plenty of time.
543
00:24:32,114 --> 00:24:32,947
Forty-five seconds for six rounds.
544
00:24:32,947 --> 00:24:34,609
Instructors!
545
00:24:34,609 --> 00:24:35,903
Is the line ready?
546
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,890
The line is ready!
547
00:24:39,890 --> 00:24:43,413
Shooters, commence fire!
548
00:24:46,265 --> 00:24:48,682
(gun firing)
549
00:24:50,788 --> 00:24:53,788
(many guns firing)
550
00:25:17,290 --> 00:25:18,340
(buzzer) Cease fire!
551
00:25:20,232 --> 00:25:21,573
(gun firing)
552
00:25:21,573 --> 00:25:22,406
Cease fire.
553
00:25:22,406 --> 00:25:23,239
- [Instructor] Counter-clockwise, to the left.
554
00:25:23,239 --> 00:25:24,072
- [Trainee] To the left?
555
00:25:24,072 --> 00:25:24,905
- [Instructor] Yeah.
556
00:25:24,905 --> 00:25:25,897
- [Trainee] To the left?
557
00:25:25,897 --> 00:25:27,324
- [Instructor] I'd bring it up two clicks.
558
00:25:27,324 --> 00:25:28,363
To the left, two clicks.
559
00:25:28,363 --> 00:25:29,418
- [Trainee] Left two clicks?
560
00:25:29,418 --> 00:25:30,972
- [Instructor] Yeah, because that's a fair bet.
561
00:25:30,972 --> 00:25:32,170
You might even want to come right two clicks, too.
562
00:25:32,170 --> 00:25:33,892
- I'll go left.
563
00:25:33,892 --> 00:25:35,255
- Because you've got a good group.
564
00:25:35,255 --> 00:25:36,294
- I'll go left.
565
00:25:36,294 --> 00:25:38,073
- Well, no, go left on your top screw, bring it up.
566
00:25:38,073 --> 00:25:39,103
- Okay.
567
00:25:39,103 --> 00:25:40,470
- And then go right on your side screw
568
00:25:40,470 --> 00:25:41,477
to bring it to the right.
569
00:25:41,477 --> 00:25:42,851
- How many on the right?
570
00:25:42,851 --> 00:25:44,694
- Because the one on the side is for windage.
571
00:25:44,694 --> 00:25:45,832
I'd go two clicks both ways.
572
00:25:45,832 --> 00:25:46,665
- Okay.
573
00:25:46,665 --> 00:25:47,498
- Two clicks up, two clicks right.
574
00:25:47,498 --> 00:25:49,707
Because you've got a real good group here.
575
00:25:49,707 --> 00:25:50,540
But this is good here.
576
00:25:50,540 --> 00:25:51,797
All right, these count for ten.
577
00:25:51,797 --> 00:25:52,905
Right here.
578
00:25:52,905 --> 00:25:54,676
If you nick that line, once you nick that line
579
00:25:54,676 --> 00:25:55,509
that's gonna give you ten points.
580
00:25:55,509 --> 00:25:57,170
You're looking good, looking real good.
581
00:25:57,170 --> 00:25:58,003
- [Trainee] Thank you.
582
00:25:58,868 --> 00:26:00,920
- [Instructor] Looking real good.
583
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,840
You're all over the target.
584
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,221
He's dead.
585
00:26:04,221 --> 00:26:06,604
- Definitely.
586
00:26:06,604 --> 00:26:07,720
You definitely got him.
587
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,553
Did he give you site correction?
588
00:26:09,546 --> 00:26:11,429
- [Trainee] No.
589
00:26:11,429 --> 00:26:12,500
He said it was okay.
590
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:14,448
- Yeah, because you're all over the place
591
00:26:14,448 --> 00:26:16,273
and there's no real correction you can make on it.
592
00:26:16,273 --> 00:26:17,123
Don't jerk the trigger.
593
00:26:19,230 --> 00:26:20,393
Huh, it's dead.
594
00:26:22,591 --> 00:26:24,620
The gun should surprise you when it goes off.
595
00:26:24,620 --> 00:26:25,626
- [Trainee] Oh, it does.
596
00:26:25,626 --> 00:26:27,533
- That means then you are, you are squeezing the trigger.
597
00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:29,234
- [Trainee] And I'm not breathing,
598
00:26:29,234 --> 00:26:30,864
so tell me something else.
599
00:26:30,864 --> 00:26:31,909
- [Instructor] You're not turning blue yet.
600
00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:33,261
(laughing)
601
00:26:33,261 --> 00:26:34,306
- [Trainee] I don't breathe.
602
00:26:34,306 --> 00:26:35,373
- We don't have to pick you up off the range, though.
603
00:26:35,373 --> 00:26:36,643
- [Trainee] And when I do this with this site,
604
00:26:36,643 --> 00:26:37,940
I don't breathe till after it's gone.
605
00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:39,790
- You got four on the ten right here.
606
00:26:40,638 --> 00:26:41,471
Because, remember all's it has to do is nick the line.
607
00:26:41,471 --> 00:26:45,320
Once it tears that line there, that's ten.
608
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,544
That's ten.
609
00:26:46,544 --> 00:26:48,130
You're shooting good.
610
00:26:48,130 --> 00:26:49,830
Just keep away from this six ring.
611
00:27:20,268 --> 00:27:23,247
- As far as background information,
612
00:27:23,247 --> 00:27:24,080
of course, I came from Whiteman.
613
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,610
I was at Whiteman for four years.
614
00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:29,350
During my four years there, I was two years on line,
615
00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:30,450
two years in the shop.
616
00:27:31,835 --> 00:27:33,500
I was a (mumbles) board evaluator.
617
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:35,150
Then I came out here to instruct.
618
00:27:36,290 --> 00:27:38,403
I've been out here two years this month.
619
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,974
As far as where I went to school,
620
00:27:42,974 --> 00:27:44,510
I went to the Air Force Academy.
621
00:27:44,510 --> 00:27:46,993
So, I don't have an extensive military background.
622
00:27:48,862 --> 00:27:50,370
But to help me out as far as getting to know you guys,
623
00:27:50,370 --> 00:27:52,313
I need to go around the room and find out
624
00:27:52,313 --> 00:27:53,614
a little bit about each one of you.
625
00:27:53,614 --> 00:27:55,481
We'll start over here.
626
00:27:55,481 --> 00:27:58,720
- I graduated from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio.
627
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,043
I majored in pre-law.
628
00:28:00,977 --> 00:28:03,780
I requested to go to Whiteman because I wanted to get
629
00:28:03,780 --> 00:28:05,130
my masters in history there
630
00:28:06,009 --> 00:28:07,359
at the University of Central Missouri.
631
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,363
I got accepted there for the Fall of 86.
632
00:28:10,314 --> 00:28:13,051
And I'm looking forward to being in the missile program.
633
00:28:13,051 --> 00:28:14,690
I wanted to get this slot.
634
00:28:14,690 --> 00:28:17,633
Everything's worked out so well for me to this point.
635
00:28:21,096 --> 00:28:22,110
- I graduated from the University of Kansas,
636
00:28:22,110 --> 00:28:26,190
May 1985, and I'm Bachelor of Science, computer science.
637
00:28:26,190 --> 00:28:29,380
Also requested Whiteman for the possibility
638
00:28:31,157 --> 00:28:34,487
of getting an MS in computer science or an MBA.
639
00:28:37,356 --> 00:28:38,830
- I also went to the University of Kansas.
640
00:28:38,830 --> 00:28:41,410
I majored in Communications.
641
00:28:41,410 --> 00:28:44,360
And I put in Whiteman as base of choice.
642
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,140
I've waited as long as possible to get back
643
00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:48,470
around the area I'm familiar with.
644
00:28:48,470 --> 00:28:50,950
Looking forward to going back there.
645
00:28:50,950 --> 00:28:51,783
- [Instructor] Good.
646
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,756
- I've been in the Air Force
647
00:28:54,756 --> 00:28:56,650
for a little over six years now.
648
00:28:56,650 --> 00:28:58,810
I've been stationed at Whiteman for the last year and a half
649
00:28:58,810 --> 00:29:02,730
in DO22 as the intelligence officer.
650
00:29:02,730 --> 00:29:04,884
And I'm assigned to the five-eighth,
651
00:29:04,884 --> 00:29:07,120
going back to it, and my husband is also
652
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,863
in the five-eighth out at Whiteman.
653
00:29:10,071 --> 00:29:10,904
- His name Bruce?
654
00:29:10,904 --> 00:29:12,000
- No, Michael.
655
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,368
- Michael?
656
00:29:13,368 --> 00:29:14,333
- He got there after you left.
657
00:29:16,137 --> 00:29:18,200
- [Instructor] Chuck?
658
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,130
- I graduated from the State University of New York
659
00:29:20,130 --> 00:29:23,060
with a Bachelor's degree in business and public management
660
00:29:23,060 --> 00:29:24,860
with a minor in electrical technology.
661
00:29:24,860 --> 00:29:26,960
- I volunteered for missiles and since Whiteman
662
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,270
was the only place there was any females,
663
00:29:29,270 --> 00:29:30,620
I volunteered for Whiteman.
664
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,264
- [Instructor] Where were you at before?
665
00:29:33,264 --> 00:29:34,840
- Wright-Patterson Air Force base.
666
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,923
I worked for FTD.
667
00:29:37,472 --> 00:29:39,372
- [Instructor] I'll talk to you later.
668
00:29:40,970 --> 00:29:43,490
- Graduated from the University of Missouri,
669
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:45,910
Columbia, Missouri, 1980.
670
00:29:45,910 --> 00:29:48,400
I've been stationed at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
671
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,620
Keflavik Naval Air Station, Iceland.
672
00:29:50,620 --> 00:29:54,003
And Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona as 702.
673
00:29:57,330 --> 00:30:00,400
- I graduated from Bentley College in,
674
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,613
it's in Massachusetts.
675
00:30:02,670 --> 00:30:05,910
I went to OTS and then I went right to Tinker
676
00:30:05,910 --> 00:30:08,620
as a contracting officer and I've been there
677
00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:09,780
three and a half years.
678
00:30:09,780 --> 00:30:12,724
And I wanted to get into missiles because
679
00:30:12,724 --> 00:30:14,395
I really want to do something operational
680
00:30:14,395 --> 00:30:15,930
before I get, you know, too, too old.
681
00:30:15,930 --> 00:30:17,483
So.
682
00:30:17,483 --> 00:30:19,150
- [Instructor] Okay.
683
00:30:20,035 --> 00:30:21,540
- Well, couple years ago I graduated
684
00:30:21,540 --> 00:30:23,716
from the University of Louisville
685
00:30:23,716 --> 00:30:25,812
with a history major and then I went to Glickham
686
00:30:25,812 --> 00:30:29,220
and I just came back from (mumbles) Belgium over there.
687
00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:30,290
- [Instructor] I hear it's nice over there.
688
00:30:30,290 --> 00:30:33,330
- Well, it has its advantages.
689
00:30:33,330 --> 00:30:35,350
- [Instructor] You couldn't extend?
690
00:30:35,350 --> 00:30:37,270
- Well, actually, they said they wanted me
691
00:30:37,270 --> 00:30:40,020
to come back to SAC and get experience in both systems.
692
00:30:40,926 --> 00:30:41,813
- [Instructor] Mmm, too bad.
693
00:30:43,771 --> 00:30:45,200
What is the mission of the Minuteman weapon system?
694
00:30:47,398 --> 00:30:50,907
- The mission, on page one-dash-three, states,
695
00:30:50,907 --> 00:30:51,967
"The mission of the Minuteman hardened
696
00:30:51,967 --> 00:30:54,557
"and dispersed weapon system is to deliver
697
00:30:54,557 --> 00:30:57,907
"thermonuclear warheads against strategic targets
698
00:30:57,907 --> 00:30:59,927
"from hardened underground launchers
699
00:30:59,927 --> 00:31:02,770
"in the continental United States."
700
00:31:02,770 --> 00:31:05,220
- When the time comes to launch the missiles
701
00:31:06,090 --> 00:31:08,173
against targets as designated by higher authorities.
702
00:31:10,770 --> 00:31:13,373
Did anybody find that NTL as far as the mission?
703
00:31:16,010 --> 00:31:17,093
Page one-dash-three.
704
00:31:18,930 --> 00:31:20,173
Gary, you got a question?
705
00:31:21,109 --> 00:31:22,489
- [Gary] No, sir.
706
00:31:22,489 --> 00:31:23,631
- Okay.
707
00:31:23,631 --> 00:31:24,464
Uh, the thing about the Minuteman weapon system.
708
00:31:26,225 --> 00:31:27,763
It's supposed to be a highly reliable system,
709
00:31:27,763 --> 00:31:28,860
requiring minimum maintenance time,
710
00:31:28,860 --> 00:31:30,950
maximum operational time.
711
00:31:30,950 --> 00:31:34,076
As far as reaction time, once we get the word to launch,
712
00:31:34,076 --> 00:31:36,960
it should not take that long to launch missiles.
713
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,183
As opposed to Titans.
714
00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:42,210
Titan is, in a word, a volatile system.
715
00:31:42,210 --> 00:31:44,603
You drop a wrench, you could launch a missile,
716
00:31:44,603 --> 00:31:45,436
something like that.
717
00:31:45,436 --> 00:31:46,500
No, I'm just kidding.
718
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:49,460
But it's very dangerous working with liquid fuels.
719
00:31:49,460 --> 00:31:52,876
Okay, whereas we've got a solid-propellant missile.
720
00:31:52,876 --> 00:31:56,000
It's not a very dangerous system with respect
721
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,007
to working on it.
722
00:31:57,007 --> 00:31:57,840
Very safe system.
723
00:31:58,690 --> 00:32:01,216
As far as the system's concerned,
724
00:32:01,216 --> 00:32:03,532
command and control system that you have to monitor
725
00:32:03,532 --> 00:32:05,453
the missiles, that will let you know
726
00:32:05,453 --> 00:32:07,269
if something goes wrong with one of your missiles,
727
00:32:07,269 --> 00:32:09,437
you get full status indications inside
728
00:32:09,437 --> 00:32:11,743
the Launch Control Center, saying, okay,
729
00:32:11,743 --> 00:32:12,974
something is wrong with this missile
730
00:32:12,974 --> 00:32:15,165
and needs to be worked on, and then when they actually
731
00:32:15,165 --> 00:32:16,937
go out and work on it, it doesn't take them
732
00:32:16,937 --> 00:32:18,660
that long to get a missile ready.
733
00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:20,160
Actually working on it itself.
734
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,200
Not very much maintenance.
735
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,189
Not very long to launch it.
736
00:32:26,189 --> 00:32:28,173
And it is highly reliable.
737
00:32:29,460 --> 00:32:31,360
The nice aspects of the system itself.
738
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,240
As far as survival of the system is concerned,
739
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,700
the missile system is dispersed.
740
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:39,350
Like the one overview I showed you already as far as.
741
00:32:40,652 --> 00:32:41,485
We're not right next to a missile.
742
00:32:43,144 --> 00:32:45,413
Our missile is at least three nautical miles away from us.
743
00:32:46,710 --> 00:32:48,983
No closer than that.
744
00:32:51,010 --> 00:32:53,580
So you need a lot of area as far as the missile wing
745
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:54,413
is concerned.
746
00:32:57,700 --> 00:32:59,400
Whiteman is a three squadron wing.
747
00:33:00,510 --> 00:33:02,210
Malmstrom is a four squadron wing.
748
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,800
As far as configuration of a flight,
749
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,210
you have one Launch Control Center
750
00:33:10,210 --> 00:33:11,623
and ten missiles per flight.
751
00:33:12,850 --> 00:33:14,330
As far as the squadron, you've got five
752
00:33:14,330 --> 00:33:16,853
Launch Control Centers and 50 missiles.
753
00:33:18,210 --> 00:33:21,120
So for Whiteman you have 150 missiles total.
754
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,170
Questions about that?
755
00:33:24,776 --> 00:33:27,483
(trainees chattering)
756
00:33:27,483 --> 00:33:28,563
- [Trainee] Bonita, Bonita, Bonita.
757
00:33:29,998 --> 00:33:31,370
When's our next trainer gonna arrive?
758
00:33:31,370 --> 00:33:33,770
- Emergency LCC evacuation is required
759
00:33:33,770 --> 00:33:36,123
any time personal safety is in jeopardy.
760
00:33:37,620 --> 00:33:39,720
Means if you have any fear for your life,
761
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,873
you get out of there.
762
00:33:42,030 --> 00:33:42,863
So what?
763
00:33:43,723 --> 00:33:45,373
That's only equipment downstairs.
764
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,410
We can only put so many crew bearers through this course
765
00:33:49,410 --> 00:33:50,710
at a given time, you know.
766
00:33:52,072 --> 00:33:53,590
Crew bearers are valuable.
767
00:33:53,590 --> 00:33:54,693
Ask yourself.
768
00:33:55,540 --> 00:33:57,130
- [Trainee] Ask SAC.
769
00:33:57,130 --> 00:33:58,360
- Ask SAC, yes.
770
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,242
They love crew bearers, they're not gonna let you go.
771
00:34:01,242 --> 00:34:02,183
They're gonna hold on to you.
772
00:34:08,891 --> 00:34:09,993
- The launch control panel.
773
00:34:12,467 --> 00:34:15,592
Located at the launch control console, commander's position.
774
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,600
Launch control panel has three switches on the front.
775
00:34:24,475 --> 00:34:27,141
You have your key switch, your launch key switch.
776
00:34:27,141 --> 00:34:30,380
You have another switch in the center which is not used,
777
00:34:30,380 --> 00:34:34,274
says War Plan A and B on it, it's not even connected inside.
778
00:34:34,274 --> 00:34:37,810
Then you have your inhibit switch.
779
00:34:37,810 --> 00:34:41,330
These two switches on each end are connected
780
00:34:41,330 --> 00:34:43,730
to your Mechanical Code Units, once again,
781
00:34:43,730 --> 00:34:46,620
located in the back of the launch control panel.
782
00:34:46,620 --> 00:34:50,880
The two here, MCUs A and B, are for your launch code.
783
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,050
Your complete launch code.
784
00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:54,920
Located in these two MCUs.
785
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,343
The third MCU is your inhibit code.
786
00:34:58,870 --> 00:35:03,590
These MCUs, once they're coded, are code components.
787
00:35:03,590 --> 00:35:05,240
When they're dissipated and the code
788
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:08,433
is no longer in them, they are a critical component.
789
00:35:10,580 --> 00:35:12,430
They are always a critical component.
790
00:35:14,530 --> 00:35:18,513
So, we have our launch MCUs, our inhibit MCUs.
791
00:35:19,580 --> 00:35:24,140
The panel then becomes a code component with the MCUs in it.
792
00:35:24,140 --> 00:35:26,803
Without the MCUs in it, it's a hunk of iron.
793
00:35:30,876 --> 00:35:31,983
The launch control panel.
794
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,480
Now, by activating this key switch
795
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,240
down to the launch position, we activate those two MCUs.
796
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:44,010
Those two MCUs being activated will then
797
00:35:44,010 --> 00:35:46,010
generate a launch vote.
798
00:35:46,010 --> 00:35:48,968
But it can't go out until the continuity loop
799
00:35:48,968 --> 00:35:51,050
through the deputy's key switch
800
00:35:51,050 --> 00:35:55,150
on the launch verification panel is turned also.
801
00:35:55,150 --> 00:35:58,670
The two switches have to be turned simultaneously
802
00:35:58,670 --> 00:36:02,023
and held for approximately two seconds.
803
00:36:03,140 --> 00:36:04,906
At the same time.
804
00:36:04,906 --> 00:36:06,150
So you gotta have both of them down
805
00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:10,410
in the activated position to generate your launch vote.
806
00:36:10,410 --> 00:36:12,913
Now, one launch vote per one capsule.
807
00:36:14,770 --> 00:36:17,830
No matter how many times you initiate a launch vote
808
00:36:17,830 --> 00:36:20,620
from your capsule, the missiles recognize that
809
00:36:20,620 --> 00:36:23,423
as being a launch vote from your capsule only.
810
00:36:24,350 --> 00:36:27,573
It takes two launch votes to launch a missile.
811
00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:32,910
So, that'll involve at least two separate capsules.
812
00:36:32,910 --> 00:36:35,142
Doesn't matter if they're primary, secondary,
813
00:36:35,142 --> 00:36:36,290
auxiliary or anything like that.
814
00:36:36,290 --> 00:36:39,913
It will always involve two separate capsules.
815
00:36:41,580 --> 00:36:45,410
Now, we have the capability to stop that launch
816
00:36:45,410 --> 00:36:47,183
when there's one launch vote in.
817
00:36:49,090 --> 00:36:51,970
Once there's two launch votes, we can wave bye
818
00:36:52,829 --> 00:36:55,160
to that missile, go upstairs and watch it launch.
819
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,743
So it takes two launch votes.
820
00:36:58,454 --> 00:37:00,554
It's gonna take two launch control panels.
821
00:37:01,618 --> 00:37:03,600
If we had only one capsule up and running
822
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,909
we could put a launch vote in with this
823
00:37:05,909 --> 00:37:08,500
launch control panel, pull that launch control panel out,
824
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:12,683
put another one in, it's got another set of MCUs in it,
825
00:37:13,580 --> 00:37:15,468
and do another launch vote.
826
00:37:15,468 --> 00:37:18,243
And that would be recognized as two separate launch votes.
827
00:37:19,711 --> 00:37:22,565
So we can do that with only one capsule up and operating.
828
00:37:22,565 --> 00:37:23,398
We can launch.
829
00:37:25,025 --> 00:37:27,013
But it'll always take two separate launch votes.
830
00:37:28,670 --> 00:37:31,837
(trainees chattering)
831
00:37:41,791 --> 00:37:43,400
- Well, it's surprising the way some of these people
832
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,603
will say, I'm waiting for some feedback.
833
00:37:47,839 --> 00:37:49,630
This individual that I went through solo,
834
00:37:49,630 --> 00:37:52,920
he launched a missile when he wasn't authorized to.
835
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,213
We're talking big error there, right?
836
00:37:59,220 --> 00:38:01,513
The three bagger, a critical error.
837
00:38:04,127 --> 00:38:06,723
He gave a very valid reason why he launched it.
838
00:38:08,251 --> 00:38:10,234
I was riding the front seat.
839
00:38:10,234 --> 00:38:12,010
He said he looked in the mirror and he saw it in my eyes
840
00:38:12,010 --> 00:38:14,396
that I wanted him to turn keys.
841
00:38:14,396 --> 00:38:16,754
(class laughs)
842
00:38:16,754 --> 00:38:17,749
- [Trainee] Are you serious?
843
00:38:17,749 --> 00:38:18,754
- Yeah, I'm serious.
844
00:38:18,754 --> 00:38:19,587
- [Trainee] What kind of look did you give him?
845
00:38:20,571 --> 00:38:21,579
- Blank look.
846
00:38:21,579 --> 00:38:22,748
- [Trainee] No kidding.
847
00:38:22,748 --> 00:38:23,780
- I've been practicing that for years.
848
00:38:23,780 --> 00:38:25,579
I'm getting pretty good at it.
849
00:38:25,579 --> 00:38:26,583
- [Trainee] They must send all instructors
850
00:38:26,583 --> 00:38:27,577
to school for that.
851
00:38:27,577 --> 00:38:28,410
(class laughs)
852
00:38:28,410 --> 00:38:29,763
- It comes naturally.
853
00:38:32,586 --> 00:38:33,419
Comes naturally.
854
00:38:34,253 --> 00:38:35,433
He was looking for feedback.
855
00:38:35,433 --> 00:38:37,883
He was looking for his strong crew partner to help him out.
856
00:38:38,971 --> 00:38:40,382
I just sat there in the front seat,
857
00:38:40,382 --> 00:38:44,033
looking in the mirror, I saw him and he was looking at me.
858
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,803
He said, well, why don't we turn keys on it?
859
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:49,880
Said, okay, I agree.
860
00:38:51,140 --> 00:38:51,973
And as soon as he turned keys on it,
861
00:38:51,973 --> 00:38:54,473
he says, I shouldn't have done that,
862
00:38:55,583 --> 00:38:57,213
but I could tell you wanted me to.
863
00:38:58,522 --> 00:39:02,993
Fine, whatever, make up the excuses that you want.
864
00:39:03,837 --> 00:39:04,823
- [Trainee] Did he make it through the program?
865
00:39:06,644 --> 00:39:07,477
- Barely.
866
00:39:09,019 --> 00:39:12,393
He got his stuff together about ten days before graduation.
867
00:39:14,326 --> 00:39:15,773
And he started doing well from then on.
868
00:39:16,694 --> 00:39:19,062
Because he got scared.
869
00:39:19,062 --> 00:39:21,550
- [Trainee] That's frightening.
870
00:39:21,550 --> 00:39:22,633
- It is frightening.
871
00:39:23,854 --> 00:39:24,920
To get almost through the end of the course
872
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,421
and then you're threatened with elimination
873
00:39:27,421 --> 00:39:28,820
because you're not doing as well as you should.
874
00:39:28,820 --> 00:39:30,810
The guy finally buckled down and he said,
875
00:39:30,810 --> 00:39:32,960
these people are not playing games with me.
876
00:39:48,830 --> 00:39:51,330
(bland music)
877
00:39:55,126 --> 00:39:56,520
- As an IQT student, you're gonna spend
878
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,880
a hundred and ten hours in MPT believe it or not.
879
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,414
And applying the information that you learned
880
00:40:01,414 --> 00:40:04,137
in the classroom, both academics and you, okay?
881
00:40:05,406 --> 00:40:07,320
And MPT is where you're gonna integrate,
882
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,610
you know, what you learned in the classroom.
883
00:40:09,610 --> 00:40:12,757
Hopefully, it'll come a lot easier when you're MPT.
884
00:40:12,757 --> 00:40:14,570
We'll talk about it in the classroom, you know,
885
00:40:14,570 --> 00:40:17,248
it's great to talk about it and, you know,
886
00:40:17,248 --> 00:40:18,560
say this or that, but it's,
887
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,060
when you apply it that's when it finally,
888
00:40:20,060 --> 00:40:22,430
you know, comes together and meshes.
889
00:40:22,430 --> 00:40:23,830
So hopefully that'll happen.
890
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,510
Okay, you're gonna be working with your crew partner
891
00:40:26,510 --> 00:40:29,350
as a team in what is now an alien environment
892
00:40:29,350 --> 00:40:30,283
to you guys, okay?
893
00:40:31,634 --> 00:40:34,489
And my philosophy, as far as the trainer,
894
00:40:34,489 --> 00:40:36,600
you guys are a team, okay?
895
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,700
And just like any, like a football team
896
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:42,122
or a basketball team, it takes teamwork to win the game
897
00:40:42,122 --> 00:40:45,890
and the game is get through your evaluations
898
00:40:45,890 --> 00:40:48,637
so if you guys just work as a team,
899
00:40:48,637 --> 00:40:52,629
you know, so, like I say, if one guy makes an error,
900
00:40:52,629 --> 00:40:55,569
I usually end up giving the error to both guys
901
00:40:55,569 --> 00:40:56,440
because I think that, you know, you're a team
902
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,674
and you're both down there you should be able to see
903
00:40:58,674 --> 00:40:59,904
what the other guy's doing, you know, and catch him.
904
00:40:59,904 --> 00:41:01,910
Make sure he initiates right and make sure,
905
00:41:01,910 --> 00:41:03,978
maybe he's doing something, you know,
906
00:41:03,978 --> 00:41:07,430
and if you don't talk to each other,
907
00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:09,770
don't let each other know what's going on then you both
908
00:41:09,770 --> 00:41:12,364
are gonna get the error, okay?
909
00:41:12,364 --> 00:41:13,770
That's my philosophy, okay?
910
00:41:13,770 --> 00:41:15,990
A lot of people use their philosophies, you know,
911
00:41:15,990 --> 00:41:19,029
as far as, well, he did it and he was there by himself,
912
00:41:19,029 --> 00:41:20,123
he knew what he was doing, but no.
913
00:41:21,110 --> 00:41:22,560
I want you guys to work as a team, okay?
914
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,360
So that's the way we're gonna grade.
915
00:41:26,924 --> 00:41:29,424
(bland music)
916
00:41:43,210 --> 00:41:45,750
- [Trainee] Hey, how do you release these particular straps?
917
00:41:45,750 --> 00:41:47,774
- [Trainee] Probably just twist it.
918
00:41:47,774 --> 00:41:48,607
- Just twist, just twist it.
919
00:41:49,899 --> 00:41:51,230
Twist it, they all come loose.
920
00:41:51,230 --> 00:41:53,010
Okay, any questions on the chair
921
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:54,510
and how you operate the chair?
922
00:41:55,776 --> 00:41:56,764
- No, sir.
923
00:41:56,764 --> 00:41:59,480
- Okay, the next thing you want to look at, just briefly,
924
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,300
is, one thing that's very important to crew members
925
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:07,250
and that's how to read the Launch Control Center clock.
926
00:42:07,250 --> 00:42:08,083
- All right.
927
00:42:09,810 --> 00:42:12,540
- Basically, the Launch Control Center clock.
928
00:42:12,540 --> 00:42:14,780
We read the clock, it's Zulu time.
929
00:42:14,780 --> 00:42:17,080
On this particular clock, what time is it now?
930
00:42:18,225 --> 00:42:19,954
- [Trainee] It is.
931
00:42:19,954 --> 00:42:20,787
- [Trainee] Four hundred, Oh-four-hundred.
932
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,043
- Oh-four-hundred, okay.
933
00:42:26,061 --> 00:42:26,894
What time is it now?
934
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,980
- [Trainee] It's oh-four-thirty-six, and 40 seconds.
935
00:42:31,980 --> 00:42:34,162
- [Instructor] Okay, so it's very important
936
00:42:34,162 --> 00:42:35,450
that you understand how to read a clock,
937
00:42:35,450 --> 00:42:39,510
not only by hours, minutes, also by seconds.
938
00:42:39,510 --> 00:42:42,417
All right, let's go ahead and run it out.
939
00:42:44,890 --> 00:42:49,293
Okay, hold the clock.
940
00:42:50,355 --> 00:42:51,188
Stop it.
941
00:42:53,159 --> 00:42:54,073
Tell me what time it is.
942
00:42:58,562 --> 00:42:59,940
Time is it now?
943
00:42:59,940 --> 00:43:02,253
- [Trainee] Okay, it's eleven-thirty.
944
00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:05,800
- [Instructor] Seconds is what?
945
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,142
- [Trainee] Basically, thirteen seconds.
946
00:43:08,142 --> 00:43:09,443
Oh, I'm sorry sixteen seconds.
947
00:43:09,443 --> 00:43:10,453
- [Instructor] Sixteen seconds, okay.
948
00:43:12,259 --> 00:43:14,248
Okay, time is it now?
949
00:43:14,248 --> 00:43:16,453
- [Trainee] Eleven.
950
00:43:16,453 --> 00:43:18,734
- [Trainee] Eleven-forty and sixteen seconds.
951
00:43:18,734 --> 00:43:20,092
- [Trainee] Eleven-forty.
952
00:43:20,092 --> 00:43:21,110
- [Instructor] Eleven-forty and sixteen seconds.
953
00:43:21,110 --> 00:43:24,337
So, again, it's very important to know how to read it.
954
00:43:24,337 --> 00:43:26,837
(bland music)
955
00:43:52,017 --> 00:43:54,510
- And then you'll find some other items down here,
956
00:43:54,510 --> 00:43:58,120
just going through, to insure that they meet
957
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,210
the Weapon System Safety Standards
958
00:44:01,210 --> 00:44:03,830
set up by the Department of Defense.
959
00:44:03,830 --> 00:44:07,160
And these are, you see them down under C.
960
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,710
One, positive measures to prevent nuclear weapons
961
00:44:10,710 --> 00:44:14,010
from producing a nuclear yield when they're not directed
962
00:44:14,010 --> 00:44:14,843
to do so.
963
00:44:15,690 --> 00:44:17,360
That's the first one.
964
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,100
Two, it's a positive measure to prevent,
965
00:44:20,100 --> 00:44:23,130
and here's these little key word phrases,
966
00:44:23,130 --> 00:44:27,280
deliberate or inadvertent, pre-arming, arming,
967
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,830
launching, firing or releasing of nuclear weapons.
968
00:44:31,830 --> 00:44:33,630
When you get to the wing, you're gonna have to do
969
00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:35,980
a certification in front of the wing commander.
970
00:44:37,140 --> 00:44:38,960
And this is one of the things you're gonna talk about
971
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,296
are Weapon System Safety Rules
972
00:44:41,296 --> 00:44:42,160
and you're gonna need to be able to roll that
973
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,910
right off your tongue and be able to explain what it means.
974
00:44:44,910 --> 00:44:47,350
To prevent the deliberate or inadvertent,
975
00:44:47,350 --> 00:44:51,290
pre-arming, arming, launching, firing or releasing
976
00:44:51,290 --> 00:44:52,290
of a nuclear weapon.
977
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,540
You see how those code components we talked about
978
00:44:56,540 --> 00:44:57,890
that one day fit into that?
979
00:44:59,230 --> 00:45:01,603
That's their job, that's their job.
980
00:45:03,340 --> 00:45:06,350
Unless those actions are directed by a competent authority
981
00:45:06,350 --> 00:45:08,683
or upon execution of the Emergency War Order.
982
00:45:10,060 --> 00:45:11,930
That's the only time that a deliberate release
983
00:45:11,930 --> 00:45:12,930
is authorized.
984
00:45:12,930 --> 00:45:16,410
When we have received emergency war orders
985
00:45:16,410 --> 00:45:18,560
that are authorizing the releasing of nuclear weapons
986
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,370
from a competent authority,
987
00:45:20,370 --> 00:45:22,370
then that's when we'll be able to do it.
988
00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:41,489
- [Man] You wouldn't by chance
989
00:45:41,489 --> 00:45:43,081
work with Colonel Z, would ya?
990
00:45:43,081 --> 00:45:44,087
- [Man] No.
991
00:45:44,087 --> 00:45:46,582
- [Man In Red Shirt] I was gonna say.
992
00:45:46,582 --> 00:45:50,017
All right, what can I do for you?
993
00:45:50,017 --> 00:45:50,914
Got your bread?
994
00:45:50,914 --> 00:45:51,772
- [Man] Bun.
995
00:45:51,772 --> 00:45:52,753
- [Man In Red Shirt] All right.
996
00:45:52,753 --> 00:45:54,210
Hey, L.T. what can we do for you?
997
00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:55,497
- Potato burger.
998
00:45:55,497 --> 00:45:56,490
- [Man In Red Shirt] Oh, yeah.
999
00:45:56,490 --> 00:45:57,950
I beg your pardon.
1000
00:45:57,950 --> 00:45:59,933
Potato burger? Coming at ya.
1001
00:46:02,305 --> 00:46:04,472
- [Man] Throw the Frisbee.
1002
00:46:05,484 --> 00:46:06,484
- All right.
1003
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:17,473
Free beer, where?
1004
00:46:20,132 --> 00:46:24,009
I sure wouldn't mind having some.
1005
00:46:24,009 --> 00:46:25,133
Just call me Chef Gucci.
1006
00:46:27,436 --> 00:46:29,413
(picnic chatter)
1007
00:46:29,413 --> 00:46:31,080
- [Man] Chef Gucci!
1008
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,030
- Now, the two man concept is another area
1009
00:46:43,030 --> 00:46:46,460
that falls under this Weapon System Safety Rules.
1010
00:46:46,460 --> 00:46:49,889
The two man concept, Air Force Reg
1011
00:46:49,889 --> 00:46:53,700
one-22-dash-four, in the Personnel Reliability Program.
1012
00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:57,830
PRP, now, PRP.
1013
00:46:57,830 --> 00:46:59,650
We can design all of our weapon systems
1014
00:46:59,650 --> 00:47:02,470
and everything so that all the mechanics
1015
00:47:02,470 --> 00:47:05,040
of the weapon system keep us from violating
1016
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,039
Weapon System Safety Rules the codes,
1017
00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:10,000
the seals, everything like that.
1018
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,173
Okay, but what's PRP for?
1019
00:47:13,579 --> 00:47:14,720
- [Trainee] The people.
1020
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:16,590
- The people, that's right.
1021
00:47:16,590 --> 00:47:19,784
To ensure that anybody involved with nuclear weapons
1022
00:47:19,784 --> 00:47:23,440
is reliable and you can trust them
1023
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:24,520
and you can work with them.
1024
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,520
PRP is what keeps us from doing things
1025
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,860
like going down to the store and buying
1026
00:47:28,860 --> 00:47:30,250
Contac cold medicine.
1027
00:47:30,250 --> 00:47:34,360
If you're drowsy on alert, you see,
1028
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,030
then you're violating Weapon System Safety Rules
1029
00:47:37,030 --> 00:47:39,863
because you have to be constantly in control.
1030
00:47:41,975 --> 00:47:44,690
So, PRP, the same type of thing applies to pilots.
1031
00:47:44,690 --> 00:47:47,884
We have what's called Duty Not Involving Alert, DNIA.
1032
00:47:47,884 --> 00:47:51,070
You get sick, they gotta give you medication
1033
00:47:51,070 --> 00:47:53,097
that may make you drowsy, you go DNIA
1034
00:47:53,946 --> 00:47:57,160
and you can't go on alert because that would violate PRP.
1035
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,773
Pilots, DNIF, Duty Not Involving Flying, same exact concept.
1036
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,810
They can't trust ya because of medication,
1037
00:48:06,810 --> 00:48:08,210
then you're not gonna be out there working
1038
00:48:08,210 --> 00:48:10,430
with this weapon system.
1039
00:48:10,430 --> 00:48:14,750
So two-man concept applies all the time in Minuteman.
1040
00:48:14,750 --> 00:48:18,034
PRP applies and then the PES seals,
1041
00:48:18,034 --> 00:48:20,360
Positive Enable System Seals,
1042
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,720
we use to detect tampering with the equipment.
1043
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:25,063
To detect tampering.
1044
00:48:30,771 --> 00:48:33,771
(fire engine siren)
1045
00:48:46,317 --> 00:48:47,640
- [Shawn] You need the scenario
1046
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,203
to actually play one.
1047
00:48:49,203 --> 00:48:50,477
- [Trainee In Blue Sweatshirt] There's only gonna be
1048
00:48:51,394 --> 00:48:52,227
five questions on it.
1049
00:48:52,227 --> 00:48:53,335
- [Trainee In White Sweatshirt] We only have
1050
00:48:53,335 --> 00:48:54,545
a 10 question test tomorrow?
1051
00:48:54,545 --> 00:48:56,456
- [Trainee] Yeah, that's how they're getting all the,
1052
00:48:56,456 --> 00:48:58,820
- I mean, five on anti-jam and five on blast valves.
1053
00:48:58,820 --> 00:48:59,803
- Oh, my goodness.
1054
00:49:00,934 --> 00:49:02,270
- I know, that means, two and you're gone.
1055
00:49:02,270 --> 00:49:03,932
Huh, Chuck?
1056
00:49:03,932 --> 00:49:05,184
- [Chuck] Yup.
1057
00:49:05,184 --> 00:49:06,454
(laughing)
1058
00:49:06,454 --> 00:49:08,444
- We know all about that.
1059
00:49:08,444 --> 00:49:10,097
- I thought he said a twenty question test tomorrow.
1060
00:49:10,097 --> 00:49:11,623
- [Trainee] You guys are gonna start studying
1061
00:49:11,623 --> 00:49:12,456
for the test big time, right?
1062
00:49:12,456 --> 00:49:13,930
- There is a twenty question test.
1063
00:49:13,930 --> 00:49:14,763
- Tomorrow.
1064
00:49:15,661 --> 00:49:16,494
- Five of it's on inhibit anti-jam,
1065
00:49:16,494 --> 00:49:19,817
five of it's on blast valves, and ten of it's on WSSRs.
1066
00:49:19,817 --> 00:49:20,821
- Did you ask him that?
1067
00:49:20,821 --> 00:49:21,819
- Yeah.
1068
00:49:21,819 --> 00:49:22,824
I've got in my notes.
1069
00:49:22,824 --> 00:49:24,530
- I say, I say, to simplify the time,
1070
00:49:24,530 --> 00:49:27,010
we should go to LCC blast valves
1071
00:49:27,010 --> 00:49:29,607
just to get comfortable with it a little bit more.
1072
00:49:29,607 --> 00:49:30,900
- Okay.
1073
00:49:30,900 --> 00:49:31,937
- [Trainee] We can do that.
1074
00:49:31,937 --> 00:49:33,290
- Thank you, thank you, I knew you would comply
1075
00:49:33,290 --> 00:49:34,951
to my standards.
1076
00:49:34,951 --> 00:49:37,018
- What are the three ways that you can, uh,
1077
00:49:37,018 --> 00:49:38,565
that you can close the blast valves?
1078
00:49:38,565 --> 00:49:42,010
- One way is with the DC power on
1079
00:49:42,010 --> 00:49:44,370
and the hydraulic pressure unit working,
1080
00:49:44,370 --> 00:49:45,370
something like that.
1081
00:49:46,268 --> 00:49:47,407
- Hydraulic control unit.
1082
00:49:47,407 --> 00:49:49,143
- You got pressure there.
1083
00:49:49,143 --> 00:49:51,027
Yeah, hydraulic control unit.
1084
00:49:51,027 --> 00:49:52,033
- [Man In Blue Sweatshirt] Where's the
1085
00:49:52,033 --> 00:49:53,044
hydraulic control unit?
1086
00:49:53,044 --> 00:49:54,918
- It's outside the, uh, the blast door.
1087
00:49:54,918 --> 00:49:56,774
Yeah, LCC blast door.
1088
00:49:56,774 --> 00:49:57,779
- [Trainee] No, it's not.
1089
00:49:57,779 --> 00:49:58,771
- [Trainee] No.
1090
00:49:58,771 --> 00:49:59,774
- No, there's the HCU and.
1091
00:49:59,774 --> 00:50:02,091
- And the hydraulic pumping unit is in the LCC.
1092
00:50:02,091 --> 00:50:03,260
- HPU.
1093
00:50:03,260 --> 00:50:04,448
- [Trainee] Which one you talking about?
1094
00:50:04,448 --> 00:50:05,899
- That's right, well, that's what I was trying
1095
00:50:05,899 --> 00:50:07,414
to get him to say.
1096
00:50:07,414 --> 00:50:08,883
- The hydraulic control unit is outside the door of the LCC.
1097
00:50:08,883 --> 00:50:10,364
- [Trainee] No, it isn't, it's in the acoustical enclosure.
1098
00:50:10,364 --> 00:50:11,730
- It's outside the other door, right?
1099
00:50:11,730 --> 00:50:12,563
- [Trainee] No, no, the door is here
1100
00:50:12,563 --> 00:50:15,557
and then the enclosure is out, and so it's right outside.
1101
00:50:15,557 --> 00:50:16,708
- [Trainee In White Shirt] It's outside the door.
1102
00:50:16,708 --> 00:50:18,020
- It's outside a little door.
1103
00:50:18,020 --> 00:50:19,580
That's not the blast door.
1104
00:50:19,580 --> 00:50:21,067
- Right.
1105
00:50:21,067 --> 00:50:22,287
- The blast door's the big one that.
1106
00:50:22,287 --> 00:50:23,730
- Outside in the acoustical enclosure.
1107
00:50:23,730 --> 00:50:25,398
- [Trainee In White Shirt] Outside
1108
00:50:25,398 --> 00:50:26,231
in the acoustical enclosure.
1109
00:50:26,231 --> 00:50:27,064
- Okay.
1110
00:50:27,064 --> 00:50:28,003
- [Trainee In White Shirt] All right.
1111
00:50:28,003 --> 00:50:28,836
Outside in the eggshell, in other words, right?
1112
00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:17,839
(phone ringing)
1113
00:51:17,839 --> 00:51:20,078
- Bravo capsule, this is Kathleen.
1114
00:51:20,078 --> 00:51:21,168
May I help you?
1115
00:51:21,168 --> 00:51:22,305
- [Man On Phone] Yeah, is this Bravo capsule?
1116
00:51:22,305 --> 00:51:23,138
- Yes.
1117
00:51:23,138 --> 00:51:24,223
- [Man On Phone] I've just put a bomb on one of your LFs.
1118
00:51:26,029 --> 00:51:27,725
- Okay, which LF did you put it on?
1119
00:51:27,725 --> 00:51:30,402
- [Man On Phone] I put it on that one, B-zero-nine.
1120
00:51:30,402 --> 00:51:32,510
- On nine, why'd you want put one on nine?
1121
00:51:32,510 --> 00:51:35,370
- [Man On Phone] Just call me a modern day freedom fighter.
1122
00:51:35,370 --> 00:51:40,189
- Freedom fighter, huh, okay, well, what kind of bomb is it?
1123
00:51:40,189 --> 00:51:41,387
- [Man On Phone] I don't know.
1124
00:51:41,387 --> 00:51:44,250
I wrapped about 25 sticks of dynamite together.
1125
00:51:44,250 --> 00:51:46,209
- 25 sticks, huh?
1126
00:51:46,209 --> 00:51:47,508
- [Man On Phone] Mm hmm.
1127
00:51:47,508 --> 00:51:49,680
- Okay, when'd you set this to go off?
1128
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,501
- [Man On Phone] It should be going off in about 40 seconds.
1129
00:51:53,501 --> 00:51:57,578
- Okay, is it, uh, is it, uh, you know, is it in a box?
1130
00:51:57,578 --> 00:52:00,320
- [Man On Phone] It's just 40 sticks of dynamite
1131
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,793
strapped together with, uh, a belt.
1132
00:52:03,741 --> 00:52:07,060
- With a belt, uh, okay, is it, uh, you said
1133
00:52:07,060 --> 00:52:09,650
about forty-five seconds?
1134
00:52:09,650 --> 00:52:11,789
- [Man On Phone] I meant forty-five minutes.
1135
00:52:11,789 --> 00:52:13,082
I'm nervous, you know.
1136
00:52:13,082 --> 00:52:15,630
It's the first bomb I've ever put on a LF.
1137
00:52:15,630 --> 00:52:18,080
- Well, you know, you say you're a freedom fighter.
1138
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:19,560
- [Man On Phone] Well, I had dream last night.
1139
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,700
They said put a bomb on one of these missile sites.
1140
00:52:22,700 --> 00:52:25,360
You know, I figured I'd give the news.
1141
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:26,371
- Uh huh.
1142
00:52:26,371 --> 00:52:27,428
- [Man On Phone] I gotta go because I know
1143
00:52:27,428 --> 00:52:28,422
what you're trying to do.
1144
00:52:28,422 --> 00:52:29,425
You're trying to trace me.
1145
00:52:29,425 --> 00:52:30,660
- Well, why don't you tell me your name, sir.
1146
00:52:30,660 --> 00:52:31,720
Okay, lost him.
1147
00:52:31,720 --> 00:52:32,833
I'm not hanging up.
1148
00:52:34,731 --> 00:52:36,902
- [Training Partner] Okay, I already.
1149
00:52:36,902 --> 00:52:39,402
(bland music)
1150
00:52:48,647 --> 00:52:51,397
(truck rumbling)
1151
00:52:59,900 --> 00:53:01,520
- Remote weather.
1152
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,313
The weather biasing concept.
1153
00:53:06,350 --> 00:53:08,010
The big thing about weather is that,
1154
00:53:08,010 --> 00:53:10,530
I say, Kentucky windage.
1155
00:53:10,530 --> 00:53:11,550
And that's really what we're talking about.
1156
00:53:11,550 --> 00:53:15,720
We're just improving the accuracy of the missile
1157
00:53:15,720 --> 00:53:18,330
by accounting for the atmospheric conditions
1158
00:53:18,330 --> 00:53:19,963
that exist at the target.
1159
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:21,923
At the target.
1160
00:53:23,536 --> 00:53:27,450
Now, our missile has a Mark Eleven-C Reentry Vehicle
1161
00:53:27,450 --> 00:53:31,560
and it has a specific shape to that vehicle for its angle
1162
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,060
of reentry into the atmosphere.
1163
00:53:35,060 --> 00:53:37,970
There is a possible skipping effect
1164
00:53:37,970 --> 00:53:41,050
with any reentry vehicle that comes into the atmosphere,
1165
00:53:41,050 --> 00:53:43,160
depending upon the angle.
1166
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,400
Remember when you looked at your trajectory,
1167
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,550
back on day one, of a typical mission profile?
1168
00:53:48,550 --> 00:53:51,600
Well, that angle that the reentry vehicle
1169
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,830
is coming into the atmosphere,
1170
00:53:53,830 --> 00:53:57,223
the steeper the angle can be, the more accurate you can be.
1171
00:53:58,210 --> 00:54:01,330
The less the angle, the less the heating
1172
00:54:01,330 --> 00:54:03,895
on the reentry vehicle, such as, you know,
1173
00:54:03,895 --> 00:54:05,750
when the Shuttle comes in, it comes in real shallow,
1174
00:54:05,750 --> 00:54:07,920
but it still has to come in.
1175
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,850
So, reentry vehicle's coming in,
1176
00:54:09,850 --> 00:54:11,680
the steeper it comes in, the more accurate
1177
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:12,793
but the more heat.
1178
00:54:13,860 --> 00:54:16,373
And thus possible damage to the reentry vehicle.
1179
00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:20,260
But the steeper the angle, the less it will be affected
1180
00:54:20,260 --> 00:54:25,260
by the different layers and densities of the atmosphere.
1181
00:54:25,870 --> 00:54:28,740
If we had a real dense layer of the atmosphere
1182
00:54:28,740 --> 00:54:30,483
and a reentry vehicle's coming in,
1183
00:54:31,751 --> 00:54:35,523
it's liable to change its trajectory going through there.
1184
00:54:37,446 --> 00:54:39,740
It's like, you know, anybody ever try and shoot into water
1185
00:54:39,740 --> 00:54:42,060
with an arrow or something, like at a fish,
1186
00:54:42,060 --> 00:54:42,910
or anything like that?
1187
00:54:42,910 --> 00:54:45,270
It's never where you shoot, is it?
1188
00:54:45,270 --> 00:54:47,340
Because there's a difference in the densities
1189
00:54:47,340 --> 00:54:48,590
and the refraction and everything.
1190
00:54:48,590 --> 00:54:50,240
Same type of thing here.
1191
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:51,350
It's going in.
1192
00:54:51,350 --> 00:54:53,830
It's going to be refracted through there.
1193
00:54:53,830 --> 00:54:55,660
So we have to account for that.
1194
00:54:55,660 --> 00:54:59,123
If we want to hit this spot,
1195
00:55:00,250 --> 00:55:02,960
we can't aim right at it.
1196
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,210
Because we can't get there through this layer.
1197
00:55:05,210 --> 00:55:07,580
We've got to account for the atmospheric conditions
1198
00:55:07,580 --> 00:55:12,130
and that's what the Remote Weather Command is all about.
1199
00:55:12,130 --> 00:55:14,410
It accounts for the winds and the atmospheric conditions
1200
00:55:14,410 --> 00:55:18,300
so that we come in here, we move over like this,
1201
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:21,953
and nail our target, okay?
1202
00:55:41,884 --> 00:55:43,533
(bland music)
1203
00:55:43,533 --> 00:55:46,060
- [Trainee Commander] Charlie nine is in strategic alert.
1204
00:55:46,060 --> 00:55:46,893
- Time.
1205
00:55:48,209 --> 00:55:51,150
Check crew log, job control, or on-site maintenance team
1206
00:55:51,150 --> 00:55:54,950
as necessary to determine that 30 minutes has elapsed
1207
00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:57,693
since previous missile test has commanded.
1208
00:55:58,750 --> 00:56:02,290
We do not have any maintenance online.
1209
00:56:02,290 --> 00:56:07,290
And, we have checked the crew log, job control.
1210
00:56:08,630 --> 00:56:11,023
We don't have any on-site maintenance teams.
1211
00:56:12,423 --> 00:56:13,795
- [Trainee Deputy] Not at this time.
1212
00:56:13,795 --> 00:56:17,110
- Okay, I'll get hold of job control to ensure
1213
00:56:17,110 --> 00:56:20,240
that no one else has performed a missile test
1214
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:21,153
on Charlie nine.
1215
00:56:39,020 --> 00:56:41,550
(beeping)
1216
00:56:41,550 --> 00:56:43,060
- [Voice On Phone] Jobs, Sergeant Wilson.
1217
00:56:43,060 --> 00:56:44,916
- Yes, Sergeant Wilson, this is Captain Woolridge
1218
00:56:44,916 --> 00:56:46,561
in Charlie capsule.
1219
00:56:46,561 --> 00:56:47,870
I want to check in with you and see
1220
00:56:47,870 --> 00:56:50,690
if anybody has performed a missile test on Charlie nine
1221
00:56:50,690 --> 00:56:51,523
in the squadron.
1222
00:56:52,737 --> 00:56:54,376
- [Voice On Phone] Uh, not that we know of, sir.
1223
00:56:54,376 --> 00:56:55,460
- Okay, thank you very much, we'll be doing it.
1224
00:56:55,460 --> 00:56:57,441
- [Voice On Phone] Okay, thank you.
1225
00:56:57,441 --> 00:56:58,941
- All right, bye.
1226
00:57:01,860 --> 00:57:03,838
Okay, I have checked.
1227
00:57:03,838 --> 00:57:06,540
No one has in the last the last 30 minutes.
1228
00:57:06,540 --> 00:57:07,453
No one has.
1229
00:57:08,592 --> 00:57:10,133
- When you look at a Stand-By, No Go you need to say,
1230
00:57:11,125 --> 00:57:13,216
Is that sortie launch-capable?
1231
00:57:13,216 --> 00:57:14,470
Why, because, you know, when you get into the EWO part
1232
00:57:16,421 --> 00:57:17,605
of the job, that's the job.
1233
00:57:17,605 --> 00:57:19,243
Launching missiles is your job.
1234
00:57:19,243 --> 00:57:20,600
And what we're building towards is,
1235
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,040
if you get in a situation, you need to be able to look
1236
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,640
visually and determine, is that sortie going to launch
1237
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,332
if I need to launch it?
1238
00:57:27,332 --> 00:57:28,165
Yes or no?
1239
00:57:28,165 --> 00:57:29,933
No, it won't, if it's one of these.
1240
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,671
Yes, it will, if it's an alarm fault,
1241
00:57:33,671 --> 00:57:35,450
Why, because there's nothing wrong with the missile.
1242
00:57:35,450 --> 00:57:37,920
It's a minor ground fault problem.
1243
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,540
This is a big problem.
1244
00:57:39,540 --> 00:57:40,980
This is a big problem.
1245
00:57:40,980 --> 00:57:44,127
And the Stand-By, No Go, because it's not launch-capable,
1246
00:57:44,127 --> 00:57:44,960
is a big problem.
1247
00:57:46,102 --> 00:57:48,060
Okay, and asking yourself is it launch-capable
1248
00:57:48,060 --> 00:57:49,700
is the question that you need to know.
1249
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:52,200
That's one of the things you want to ask yourself.
1250
00:57:54,148 --> 00:57:56,648
(bland music)
1251
00:58:36,702 --> 00:58:38,611
I wish everyone in here could get
1252
00:58:38,611 --> 00:58:39,740
some solo rides now and then.
1253
00:58:39,740 --> 00:58:40,840
Solo rides are great.
1254
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:42,480
They isolate you.
1255
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:43,960
You can't sit there.
1256
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,527
One of my students went through with a very strong partner.
1257
00:58:48,527 --> 00:58:50,170
But he was very weak.
1258
00:58:50,170 --> 00:58:51,793
Just rides on the coat tails.
1259
00:58:52,750 --> 00:58:54,150
Until the instructor starts saying,
1260
00:58:54,150 --> 00:58:55,763
I'm gonna isolate this guy.
1261
00:58:56,930 --> 00:59:00,870
We get into EWO and we'd get a message
1262
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:04,740
and the strong guy, he'd write invalid
1263
00:59:05,690 --> 00:59:07,760
on the message and he was about to turn around
1264
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,370
and tell his crew partner.
1265
00:59:09,370 --> 00:59:10,423
I say shut up.
1266
00:59:11,912 --> 00:59:12,990
Just be quiet.
1267
00:59:12,990 --> 00:59:15,530
I know you're a crew and you should work together.
1268
00:59:15,530 --> 00:59:17,120
But I want to see if this other guy
1269
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:18,623
can figure it out by himself.
1270
00:59:20,300 --> 00:59:23,210
See, you're not gonna let the one strong guy
1271
00:59:23,210 --> 00:59:25,159
pull the weak person through.
1272
00:59:25,159 --> 00:59:28,103
Because it doesn't do the weak person any good.
1273
00:59:29,020 --> 00:59:31,350
They get out on alert and their crew partner's asleep
1274
00:59:31,350 --> 00:59:34,130
and they really don't know what they're doing,
1275
00:59:34,130 --> 00:59:35,980
you don't want that person out there.
1276
00:59:36,850 --> 00:59:39,910
You have to force that person to know their job.
1277
00:59:39,910 --> 00:59:41,470
They don't know their job,
1278
00:59:41,470 --> 00:59:43,370
they have no business being out there.
1279
00:59:44,970 --> 00:59:48,270
So, those of you who are going through the solo rides,
1280
00:59:48,270 --> 00:59:50,803
you may feel you get picked on or you get
1281
00:59:50,803 --> 00:59:53,250
scrutinized a little bit better.
1282
00:59:53,250 --> 00:59:55,643
But it's gonna make you know your job better.
1283
01:00:19,205 --> 01:00:22,303
- We may have to do a little resolution with AFSCO.
1284
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,820
AFSCO calls on one of our students and says,
1285
01:00:25,820 --> 01:00:28,311
okay, there's a problem with security clearance,
1286
01:00:28,311 --> 01:00:29,144
may go into adjudication.
1287
01:00:29,144 --> 01:00:30,753
That's fine.
1288
01:00:30,753 --> 01:00:31,891
That's what they're supposed to do.
1289
01:00:31,891 --> 01:00:35,616
And the point that I'm gonna try to make with AFSCO
1290
01:00:35,616 --> 01:00:38,951
is that, you know, you tell me what the problem is
1291
01:00:38,951 --> 01:00:40,350
and why it's in adjudication and I'll make the decision
1292
01:00:40,350 --> 01:00:42,510
whether or not he gets pulled from training.
1293
01:00:42,510 --> 01:00:45,420
There seems to be this feeling that when AFSCO calls
1294
01:00:45,420 --> 01:00:47,590
that automatically we pull them from training
1295
01:00:47,590 --> 01:00:48,850
and that's not true.
1296
01:00:48,850 --> 01:00:51,133
In this particular case, it's a young man who,
1297
01:00:51,133 --> 01:00:53,770
before he went off to college, you know,
1298
01:00:53,770 --> 01:00:55,820
was sometimes employed and sometimes not employed
1299
01:00:55,820 --> 01:00:57,810
and he ran up some debts.
1300
01:00:57,810 --> 01:01:02,810
And he is, in my judgment making restitution on those debts
1301
01:01:03,950 --> 01:01:05,430
and doing it fine.
1302
01:01:05,430 --> 01:01:07,830
But there was background investigation,
1303
01:01:07,830 --> 01:01:11,470
some creditor says, hey, so-and-so owes me some money.
1304
01:01:11,470 --> 01:01:13,420
But anyway.
1305
01:01:13,420 --> 01:01:17,033
The point is I would like to be the one to make the decision
1306
01:01:17,033 --> 01:01:20,390
because if you take a guy, let's say, out of training
1307
01:01:20,390 --> 01:01:22,320
for four or five days while we try to get this thing
1308
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,740
resolved and then resolve it, and then you try
1309
01:01:24,740 --> 01:01:26,200
to put him back in, he's lost four or five days.
1310
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,280
And in our system that's just too tough.
1311
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,830
So, I made the decision based on what I know
1312
01:01:30,830 --> 01:01:33,219
in this case to leave him in training.
1313
01:01:33,219 --> 01:01:35,400
And then we'll resolve the other issues.
1314
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:36,997
And he's helping us there.
1315
01:01:36,997 --> 01:01:40,580
He's going to do some things like write to his creditors
1316
01:01:40,580 --> 01:01:43,118
and say, hey, I'm gonna be able to pay ya so much per month.
1317
01:01:43,118 --> 01:01:47,610
Because if you're a person who's never been in debt,
1318
01:01:47,610 --> 01:01:49,213
you will be someday, especially when it comes time
1319
01:01:49,213 --> 01:01:51,823
to send your kids to college, I can tell you that.
1320
01:02:16,017 --> 01:02:19,163
- Fraternization, I guess everybody knows the,
1321
01:02:19,163 --> 01:02:22,770
what fraternization is or have a vague idea.
1322
01:02:22,770 --> 01:02:26,281
But just be assured that, you know, it's something that
1323
01:02:26,281 --> 01:02:28,362
the Air Force doesn't like and won't tolerate
1324
01:02:28,362 --> 01:02:30,400
and we'll be professional as we've always been.
1325
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,540
And we've not accused anyone of fraternization.
1326
01:02:33,540 --> 01:02:36,080
And you can be, with the women on board,
1327
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:37,800
everybody's being extra cautious
1328
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,930
about this thing with fraternization.
1329
01:02:39,930 --> 01:02:44,030
And just be assured, I mean, be careful that you don't
1330
01:02:44,030 --> 01:02:47,930
do anything that presents the image of fraternization
1331
01:02:47,930 --> 01:02:49,210
or fraternizing.
1332
01:02:49,210 --> 01:02:52,430
And, we're not saying don't be friends with your students
1333
01:02:52,430 --> 01:02:55,500
and don't, you know, meet the guys at the O Club
1334
01:02:55,500 --> 01:02:57,940
or whatever we've always done for the last twenty years.
1335
01:02:57,940 --> 01:02:59,910
But just don't get it to the point where people
1336
01:02:59,910 --> 01:03:02,410
start thinking that something's going on.
1337
01:03:02,410 --> 01:03:04,272
Now, of course, a lot of times, people overreact
1338
01:03:04,272 --> 01:03:07,330
in a situation where there are females and males.
1339
01:03:07,330 --> 01:03:09,970
and don't get paranoid to the fact, I mean,
1340
01:03:09,970 --> 01:03:13,280
to the point you're not really being effective
1341
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,290
whether someone's gonna say you're fraternizing.
1342
01:03:16,290 --> 01:03:18,860
So we're not going to get paranoid to that point
1343
01:03:18,860 --> 01:03:22,315
because it's not worth it but we do want to make sure
1344
01:03:22,315 --> 01:03:23,363
that we always be professional.
1345
01:03:38,331 --> 01:03:39,860
- We have one student placed on QP
1346
01:03:39,860 --> 01:03:42,820
as a result of academic performance.
1347
01:03:42,820 --> 01:03:47,627
He's failed five ACOs with an academic average of 875
1348
01:03:47,627 --> 01:03:49,438
which for ILCS is low.
1349
01:03:49,438 --> 01:03:50,433
- [Officer] Okay.
1350
01:03:50,433 --> 01:03:53,033
- He's the same student who came in about three days
1351
01:03:54,930 --> 01:03:56,170
into the class and stated he wasn't sure
1352
01:03:56,170 --> 01:03:58,610
he was gonna make it through the program himself
1353
01:03:58,610 --> 01:04:01,730
and didn't feel comfortable with being at missiles.
1354
01:04:01,730 --> 01:04:04,200
We sent him to the flight surgeon.
1355
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,510
Flight surgeon report came back that he was normal
1356
01:04:06,510 --> 01:04:09,250
with self-doubt, no emotional problems,
1357
01:04:09,250 --> 01:04:11,530
mental or abnormal stress,
1358
01:04:11,530 --> 01:04:14,240
and they did not refer him to Mental Health
1359
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,400
and told him to stick with the program.
1360
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,720
We've got him scheduled the 11th of February
1361
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:23,241
for a test taking technique program at training science.
1362
01:04:23,241 --> 01:04:26,050
Personally, my observation of him,
1363
01:04:26,050 --> 01:04:27,580
and I've talked with him on several occasions,
1364
01:04:27,580 --> 01:04:28,900
is, he's trying hard.
1365
01:04:28,900 --> 01:04:32,840
He's got a 2.95 GPA at the University of Florida
1366
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,623
in Mechanized Agriculture.
1367
01:04:35,490 --> 01:04:37,615
And, he wants to do it.
1368
01:04:37,615 --> 01:04:39,554
He really does.
1369
01:04:39,554 --> 01:04:41,721
I think he wants to do it.
1370
01:04:42,862 --> 01:04:44,160
I think he's just feeling a little bit of apprehension
1371
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:45,223
here for some reason.
1372
01:04:46,346 --> 01:04:51,346
- [Officer] Okay.
1373
01:05:01,707 --> 01:05:05,070
- Be sure Program Select switch is in off position
1374
01:05:05,070 --> 01:05:07,113
and re-initiate key turn.
1375
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:10,843
Switch is off.
1376
01:05:11,746 --> 01:05:13,392
It's in position.
1377
01:05:13,392 --> 01:05:14,862
Reinitiate key turn.
1378
01:05:14,862 --> 01:05:16,650
During DSAP lock-up, monitor message transfer
1379
01:05:16,650 --> 01:05:19,890
indicator on launch verification panel.
1380
01:05:19,890 --> 01:05:23,303
If indicator fail to illume, release switch and repeat.
1381
01:05:25,561 --> 01:05:27,261
- Okay, I'm gonna give you a time.
1382
01:05:28,415 --> 01:05:31,124
At which time I want you to turn keys.
1383
01:05:31,124 --> 01:05:35,900
Okay, what you want to do is, you will watch the clock.
1384
01:05:35,900 --> 01:05:38,470
As the clock sweeps through the time
1385
01:05:38,470 --> 01:05:40,400
that you're gonna key turn on,
1386
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:41,960
for example, if we were key turning
1387
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,510
at the zero-zero mark right now, I want you to say,
1388
01:05:45,510 --> 01:05:50,510
hands on keys, key turn on my mark, three, two, one, mark.
1389
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:56,540
You watch the clock for ten seconds waiting for him to say,
1390
01:05:56,540 --> 01:05:58,800
light on, light off, verifying that the command
1391
01:05:58,800 --> 01:05:59,700
has been sent out.
1392
01:06:01,230 --> 01:06:05,420
Okay, I want you to key turn on the next minute
1393
01:06:05,420 --> 01:06:07,890
which will be the next zero-zero mark.
1394
01:06:07,890 --> 01:06:12,340
At ten seconds prior to, you'll say, hands on keys,
1395
01:06:12,340 --> 01:06:15,333
and your response will be, hands on keys.
1396
01:06:16,206 --> 01:06:17,322
- [Trainee Deputy] Hands on keys.
1397
01:06:17,322 --> 01:06:18,800
- Then you will say, I will watch the clock,
1398
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:20,313
you watch the lights.
1399
01:06:21,166 --> 01:06:22,430
You're looking for that light and,
1400
01:06:22,430 --> 01:06:25,010
out of the corner of your eye, this light to illuminate.
1401
01:06:25,010 --> 01:06:27,473
When they do, you say, light on, light off.
1402
01:06:28,671 --> 01:06:32,779
Keep both keys down until you hear, Light on, light off,
1403
01:06:32,779 --> 01:06:36,073
when you hear that, you say release keys.
1404
01:06:36,073 --> 01:06:37,943
Okay, starting at the ten second mark.
1405
01:06:37,943 --> 01:06:38,776
Go ahead and take it from there.
1406
01:06:40,529 --> 01:06:42,238
- Hands on keys.
1407
01:06:42,238 --> 01:06:43,240
- [Trainee Deputy] Hands on keys.
1408
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:44,340
- Initiate on my mark.
1409
01:06:48,361 --> 01:06:49,580
Five.
1410
01:06:49,580 --> 01:06:54,100
Initiate, be ready to initiate, five, two, one, now.
1411
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:55,600
I'll watch the clock.
1412
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,003
- [Trainee Deputy] I got lights.
1413
01:06:58,060 --> 01:06:59,803
Light on, light off.
1414
01:07:01,476 --> 01:07:03,105
- [Trainee Commander] Release.
1415
01:07:03,105 --> 01:07:03,938
- [Trainee Deputy] Key released.
1416
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:09,393
16 accomplished, sir?
1417
01:07:14,777 --> 01:07:17,377
- [Trainee Commander] Okay, launch switch code used.
1418
01:07:20,589 --> 01:07:21,658
- [Trainee Deputy] Okay.
1419
01:07:21,658 --> 01:07:24,158
(bell rings)
1420
01:07:25,965 --> 01:07:28,290
- Okay, you are receiving, now, launch indications.
1421
01:07:28,290 --> 01:07:30,370
That was a little rough but it wasn't bad
1422
01:07:30,370 --> 01:07:31,800
for the first time.
1423
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,387
Now, I want you to come on up here for a minute.
1424
01:07:35,594 --> 01:07:36,730
What we're gonna look at is what happens
1425
01:07:36,730 --> 01:07:40,712
when you key turn or you issue one launch vote.
1426
01:07:40,712 --> 01:07:41,838
- [Trainee Deputy] Okay.
1427
01:07:41,838 --> 01:07:46,060
- One crew key turns, which you guys just did,
1428
01:07:46,060 --> 01:07:50,450
nothing will launch because you need a follow-on
1429
01:07:50,450 --> 01:07:52,529
vote from another LCC.
1430
01:07:52,529 --> 01:07:55,274
So what we're looking at here, right now
1431
01:07:55,274 --> 01:07:58,683
is the proper indications from one Launch Control Center
1432
01:07:58,683 --> 01:08:01,800
to the squadron sorties.
1433
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,250
The sorties will enter the launch-commanded mode.
1434
01:08:07,470 --> 01:08:10,750
What do we need to launch this sortie?
1435
01:08:10,750 --> 01:08:13,383
We need another vote from another LCC, right?
1436
01:08:14,269 --> 01:08:16,981
Now, to kind of get back to what we were
1437
01:08:16,981 --> 01:08:19,439
talking about before, this sortie's not gonna launch,
1438
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:20,960
this sortie's not gonna launch.
1439
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,596
That's the importance of knowing what's gonna launch
1440
01:08:23,596 --> 01:08:24,460
and what won't launch.
1441
01:08:24,460 --> 01:08:26,370
This sortie, when we put in the other vote,
1442
01:08:26,370 --> 01:08:28,950
will launch when it turns to Strategic Alert.
1443
01:08:28,950 --> 01:08:30,902
It's in Stand-By now.
1444
01:08:30,902 --> 01:08:32,870
When it comes out of Stand-By, it'll go
1445
01:08:32,870 --> 01:08:34,529
to Strategic Alert and when that happens
1446
01:08:34,529 --> 01:08:35,723
the sortie will launch.
1447
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:37,752
Okay, I just want you to watch what happens
1448
01:08:37,752 --> 01:08:39,000
when the sortie launches.
1449
01:08:40,689 --> 01:08:42,330
Put in the vote number two, please.
1450
01:08:45,450 --> 01:08:46,890
That sortie's not executed.
1451
01:08:46,890 --> 01:08:48,441
(bell ringing)
1452
01:08:48,441 --> 01:08:51,578
Okay, we have got launch indications.
1453
01:08:51,578 --> 01:08:53,383
You have a launch in process here on this sortie.
1454
01:08:54,529 --> 01:08:56,580
That means that someone else has key-turned
1455
01:08:56,580 --> 01:08:58,952
on this sortie, okay, along with you.
1456
01:09:01,750 --> 01:09:04,440
It's not launch-commanded, this one's Launch in Process.
1457
01:09:04,440 --> 01:09:05,899
This one should go Launch in Process
1458
01:09:05,899 --> 01:09:08,138
all the way across the board.
1459
01:09:08,138 --> 01:09:11,490
The next indication you'll get is Missile Away.
1460
01:09:11,490 --> 01:09:14,190
The thing you want to do is get your key turn in
1461
01:09:14,190 --> 01:09:15,740
when you're supposed to.
1462
01:09:15,740 --> 01:09:19,160
And to do that, it needs to be very rudimentized,
1463
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,140
very structured, you don't want to let anything bother ya,
1464
01:09:22,140 --> 01:09:25,332
just get the task done, and leave it at that.
1465
01:09:26,392 --> 01:09:27,819
Get a successful launch.
1466
01:09:27,819 --> 01:09:30,473
And take care of any other problems that happen afterwards.
1467
01:09:55,054 --> 01:09:56,350
- The only time you're gonna be sending PLCAs
1468
01:09:56,350 --> 01:09:57,450
is when you go to war.
1469
01:09:58,298 --> 01:09:59,360
- [Trainee] I was gonna say, in reality, it's not really
1470
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,147
gonna be done that much.
1471
01:10:01,147 --> 01:10:04,640
- No, just put in the day-to-day PLCA and we leave them.
1472
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,660
Sortie goes down for maintenance,
1473
01:10:06,660 --> 01:10:08,630
comes back up and we have to reconfigure it,
1474
01:10:08,630 --> 01:10:10,750
we run a PLCB to it.
1475
01:10:10,750 --> 01:10:13,410
Would a PLCA do the same thing?
1476
01:10:13,410 --> 01:10:16,000
The day-to-day PLCA would do the same thing.
1477
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,849
- [Trainee] Because that's where you want it.
1478
01:10:17,849 --> 01:10:20,074
- Yeah, but we run a PLCB cause it's only one sortie.
1479
01:10:20,074 --> 01:10:23,286
So we only run a PLCB for one sortie only.
1480
01:10:23,286 --> 01:10:24,119
All right?
1481
01:10:25,100 --> 01:10:25,970
- [Trainee] So, when we go to war, we're gonna be actually
1482
01:10:25,970 --> 01:10:27,836
sending a lot of these.
1483
01:10:27,836 --> 01:10:29,600
- Yeah, you'll be sending a PLCA out and,
1484
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,270
like this, PLCA 76.
1485
01:10:31,270 --> 01:10:35,009
It tells Alpha 6 to launch against target one
1486
01:10:35,009 --> 01:10:35,842
with a three minute delay time.
1487
01:10:35,842 --> 01:10:40,842
But it tells Alpha 5, go to target one, or two, or whatever,
1488
01:10:41,276 --> 01:10:43,340
with an infinite delay time,
1489
01:10:43,340 --> 01:10:45,730
so Alpha 5 will sit on the ground.
1490
01:10:45,730 --> 01:10:50,323
Now, we can launch it later, maybe using PLCA 82.
1491
01:10:51,390 --> 01:10:55,343
And that tells Alpha 5, all right, go to target one
1492
01:10:55,343 --> 01:10:57,725
with a zero-zero delay, all in accordance
1493
01:10:57,725 --> 01:10:59,033
with Single Integrated Operational Plans, SIOP.
1494
01:11:00,053 --> 01:11:01,464
- [Trainee] Got it, I think I understand.
1495
01:11:01,464 --> 01:11:03,890
- Okay, do you care what these numbers are?
1496
01:11:03,890 --> 01:11:04,971
- [Trainee] No, not really.
1497
01:11:04,971 --> 01:11:06,120
- No, do you care what's in here?
1498
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:06,952
- [Trainee] No.
1499
01:11:06,952 --> 01:11:09,354
- No, the planners care.
1500
01:11:09,354 --> 01:11:13,580
That came up with PLCA 76 means this for Alpha 6,
1501
01:11:13,580 --> 01:11:17,260
this for Alpha 5, this for Alpha 4, on down.
1502
01:11:17,260 --> 01:11:18,093
They care.
1503
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,793
But all we do is, they tell us to send this, we send it.
1504
01:11:23,910 --> 01:11:25,059
What happens?
1505
01:11:25,059 --> 01:11:27,640
They'll either launch when we key turn on them
1506
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:28,690
or they won't launch.
1507
01:11:30,103 --> 01:11:30,936
One or the other.
1508
01:11:32,890 --> 01:11:37,890
We have no determination on what kind of war we'll fight.
1509
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,855
It's all based upon what they tell us
1510
01:11:40,855 --> 01:11:42,033
and how we respond to it.
1511
01:11:43,095 --> 01:11:46,523
All right, okay.
1512
01:11:47,380 --> 01:11:48,213
Good enough.
1513
01:11:51,030 --> 01:11:52,908
Be doing that homework.
1514
01:11:52,908 --> 01:11:55,193
If you got something, just give me a call, okay?
1515
01:11:56,655 --> 01:11:57,980
- [Trainee] I gotta go get grilled by DIS
1516
01:11:57,980 --> 01:11:59,968
about my sordid past.
1517
01:11:59,968 --> 01:12:02,301
(laughing)
1518
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:05,180
- Did you guys see this?
1519
01:12:05,180 --> 01:12:07,253
- Not today.
1520
01:12:09,180 --> 01:12:11,740
Rifle and bayonet, obviously, three helmets.
1521
01:12:11,740 --> 01:12:16,448
Gas mask case, and, mess kit that they had over there.
1522
01:12:16,448 --> 01:12:17,281
- You dug this stuff up?
1523
01:12:17,281 --> 01:12:18,641
- Uh huh.
1524
01:12:18,641 --> 01:12:20,050
These all came from Bastogne.
1525
01:12:20,050 --> 01:12:21,290
This is a restored one.
1526
01:12:21,290 --> 01:12:23,423
Actually, it's that one right there,
1527
01:12:23,423 --> 01:12:26,306
after taking the rust off of it and cleaning it up.
1528
01:12:26,306 --> 01:12:27,616
- You brought these home or you put them
1529
01:12:27,616 --> 01:12:28,623
in a museum over there?
1530
01:12:28,623 --> 01:12:29,456
- Some are in a museum.
1531
01:12:29,456 --> 01:12:30,730
Some of these I brought home.
1532
01:12:30,730 --> 01:12:32,680
- What are those little bombs?
1533
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:33,770
- That one's on a colonel's desk somewhere.
1534
01:12:33,770 --> 01:12:34,900
- What are those little things?
1535
01:12:34,900 --> 01:12:37,290
- That's a mortar, that's a sixty millimeter mortar.
1536
01:12:37,290 --> 01:12:39,270
- It's not, good, is it?
1537
01:12:39,270 --> 01:12:40,303
- We de-armed this.
1538
01:12:41,176 --> 01:12:42,551
(laughing)
1539
01:12:42,551 --> 01:12:43,702
- Oh, that's good, that's a good thing.
1540
01:12:43,702 --> 01:12:44,890
- Potato masher.
1541
01:12:44,890 --> 01:12:45,723
- Oh, yeah, yeah, just like in the movies.
1542
01:12:46,867 --> 01:12:47,872
- Another gas mask case.
1543
01:12:47,872 --> 01:12:50,289
Some American hand grenades.
1544
01:12:51,692 --> 01:12:52,940
I found that guy's helmet, that's why I'm there.
1545
01:12:52,940 --> 01:12:54,013
His name was in it.
1546
01:12:55,457 --> 01:12:56,309
- [Matt] You went and looked for his grave?
1547
01:12:56,309 --> 01:12:57,727
- [Eddie] Yeah.
1548
01:12:57,727 --> 01:12:58,721
- [Matt] Is that the one that had
1549
01:12:58,721 --> 01:12:59,726
four bullet holes in it?
1550
01:12:59,726 --> 01:13:01,142
- [Shawn] As a matter of fact, yes.
1551
01:13:01,142 --> 01:13:02,244
- [Eddie] Oh, wow, how coincidental.
1552
01:13:02,244 --> 01:13:03,530
Let me see this.
1553
01:13:03,530 --> 01:13:06,179
- [Shawn] I've got another helmet with another picture.
1554
01:13:06,179 --> 01:13:07,900
I found another guy's grave,
1555
01:13:07,900 --> 01:13:09,600
they were both buried in Bastogne.
1556
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,100
- [Matt] Where'd you find their helmets?
1557
01:13:12,100 --> 01:13:13,050
- Out in the woods.
1558
01:13:14,210 --> 01:13:16,905
As a matter of fact, I've got detailed maps,
1559
01:13:16,905 --> 01:13:20,059
like archaeologist's notes about where all this stuff is.
1560
01:13:20,059 --> 01:13:21,360
- [Eddie] Which guy is it?
1561
01:13:22,224 --> 01:13:23,349
This guy, Wallingford?
1562
01:13:23,349 --> 01:13:25,849
- [Shawn] Yeah, uh, no, it's Emil Blome.
1563
01:13:25,849 --> 01:13:26,945
- [Matt] Why is there three names on this stone?
1564
01:13:26,945 --> 01:13:28,370
- [Shawn] There's six people to a grave.
1565
01:13:28,370 --> 01:13:30,950
Three on one side, three on the other.
1566
01:13:30,950 --> 01:13:31,943
- [Matt] They're stacked up?
1567
01:13:31,943 --> 01:13:32,947
- Mm hm.
1568
01:13:32,947 --> 01:13:33,954
- [Matt] I didn't know that.
1569
01:13:33,954 --> 01:13:34,787
Let me see that.
1570
01:13:34,787 --> 01:13:35,740
- [Shawn] Sure.
1571
01:13:35,740 --> 01:13:39,030
- [Matt] How long did it take to find the guy's gravestone?
1572
01:13:39,030 --> 01:13:40,140
- [Shawn] Not too long, because they have
1573
01:13:40,140 --> 01:13:41,730
a guest registration book, you know,
1574
01:13:41,730 --> 01:13:44,520
in the front there with all the names of the people.
1575
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:45,690
So that's where I went and looked.
1576
01:13:45,690 --> 01:13:48,160
Since I found it in the woods and they had 9,000 people
1577
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,760
buried about two miles away from there,
1578
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,031
I figured the chances were.
1579
01:13:52,031 --> 01:13:53,530
- [Matt] This graveyard's two miles
1580
01:13:53,530 --> 01:13:54,380
from where you found the helmet?
1581
01:13:54,380 --> 01:13:55,213
- [Shawn] Yeah.
1582
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:57,460
- [Matt] Well, that makes sense.
1583
01:13:57,460 --> 01:13:59,100
- [Shawn] All the Americans, though.
1584
01:13:59,100 --> 01:14:00,270
If you find anything with Americans,
1585
01:14:00,270 --> 01:14:02,800
they've all been moved either to Luxembourg
1586
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,250
which is about a sixty mile trip.
1587
01:14:04,250 --> 01:14:05,962
- [Matt] Oh, there you go.
1588
01:14:05,962 --> 01:14:06,969
- Yeah, there you go.
1589
01:14:06,969 --> 01:14:07,802
So, we're out in the foxholes there.
1590
01:14:07,802 --> 01:14:08,663
The baby went out.
1591
01:14:10,243 --> 01:14:12,023
- Oh, my, doesn't look like she had a lot to say about that.
1592
01:14:12,023 --> 01:14:13,967
- [Shawn] That thing on my head
1593
01:14:13,967 --> 01:14:15,990
is a helmet I found out there.
1594
01:14:15,990 --> 01:14:17,220
Still had the camouflage cover on it,
1595
01:14:17,220 --> 01:14:18,620
a German paratrooper helmet.
1596
01:14:19,770 --> 01:14:20,780
Here's something else too.
1597
01:14:20,780 --> 01:14:23,206
Now, if you can get the size.
1598
01:14:23,206 --> 01:14:24,338
That's an anthill.
1599
01:14:24,338 --> 01:14:26,030
Lots of anthills around in there.
1600
01:14:26,030 --> 01:14:27,290
- [Matt] I wouldn't be digging around in that.
1601
01:14:27,290 --> 01:14:28,123
- No, we didn't.
1602
01:14:29,090 --> 01:14:31,920
Well, I mean, I think, the battlefields should be,
1603
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,250
some of them should be considered memorials but they don't.
1604
01:14:34,250 --> 01:14:37,680
You'll find that a lot of people come down and they dig up
1605
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,620
and they don't even put the dirt back in the holes
1606
01:14:40,620 --> 01:14:42,170
after they've dug something up.
1607
01:14:43,147 --> 01:14:45,926
- So, you weren't the first ones doing this
1608
01:14:45,926 --> 01:14:46,920
in a lot of those areas?
1609
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:47,971
- Oh, no.
1610
01:14:47,971 --> 01:14:49,610
I mean, mine detectors, right?
1611
01:14:49,610 --> 01:14:51,470
Bought a surplus mine detector,
1612
01:14:51,470 --> 01:14:54,430
somebody'd been doing that for forty years.
1613
01:14:54,430 --> 01:14:56,930
The key is, everything close to the road
1614
01:14:56,930 --> 01:14:58,473
has kind of been dug up.
1615
01:14:59,603 --> 01:15:02,039
You're gonna have to go real deep into the woods.
1616
01:15:02,039 --> 01:15:04,023
And I'm talking real deep.
1617
01:15:04,023 --> 01:15:07,860
In '49, they cleared out 112,000 mines alone
1618
01:15:07,860 --> 01:15:11,381
and 5,000 tons of ammunition
1619
01:15:11,381 --> 01:15:14,520
but 29 of the American engineers were killed doing it.
1620
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,845
So, it's dangerous.
1621
01:15:17,845 --> 01:15:22,630
Just before I left, an individual Belgian found a 105
1622
01:15:22,630 --> 01:15:25,590
millimeter shell, took it to his garage
1623
01:15:25,590 --> 01:15:29,400
where he had his Mercedes stored, began to cut on it
1624
01:15:30,272 --> 01:15:31,480
with an acetylene torch.
1625
01:15:31,480 --> 01:15:33,730
Blew up the garage, the Mercedes,
1626
01:15:33,730 --> 01:15:35,950
his house, and, of course, him.
1627
01:15:35,950 --> 01:15:37,580
- [Trainee] Did it kill him?
1628
01:15:37,580 --> 01:15:40,000
- Oh, yeah, yeah, just blew him away.
1629
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:41,920
- [Matt] What year was this that they were pulling out
1630
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:43,600
all these mines?
1631
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:47,543
- They pulled out 112,000 mines in 1949.
1632
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,260
Because, like I say, little kids go over there,
1633
01:15:51,260 --> 01:15:54,567
and pick up these things, and still get hurt with them.
1634
01:15:54,567 --> 01:15:57,020
Like German hand grenades when they rust leave little things
1635
01:15:57,020 --> 01:15:59,490
that look like Easter eggs and so kids,
1636
01:15:59,490 --> 01:16:00,740
you know, pick these things up,
1637
01:16:00,740 --> 01:16:03,690
and they're really volatile, and just boom.
1638
01:16:03,690 --> 01:16:04,523
And that's it.
1639
01:16:05,381 --> 01:16:06,384
- [Eddie] And that still happens?
1640
01:16:06,384 --> 01:16:07,301
- Oh, yeah.
1641
01:16:08,718 --> 01:16:12,748
(talking over each other)
1642
01:16:12,748 --> 01:16:16,040
They still find an average of five people a year
1643
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,280
from the wars over there who've been killed.
1644
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,420
Because you know, people get killed
1645
01:16:20,420 --> 01:16:22,970
and they crawl up into overhangs or rugged terrain.
1646
01:16:24,214 --> 01:16:25,430
- [Matt] So what, do they turn in their dogtags and?
1647
01:16:25,430 --> 01:16:27,035
- If they find them.
1648
01:16:27,035 --> 01:16:29,780
While I was there, a guy found a German soldier
1649
01:16:30,624 --> 01:16:32,621
but he didn't have any identification.
1650
01:16:32,621 --> 01:16:34,220
- [Eddie] Is that the guy that his foot was missing?
1651
01:16:34,220 --> 01:16:35,730
- No, that's an American.
1652
01:16:35,730 --> 01:16:38,393
That's something I did.
1653
01:16:39,381 --> 01:16:43,530
Like I say, the whole area is just a munitions dump and, uh.
1654
01:16:45,628 --> 01:16:46,461
I think it'd be well worth it, you know,
1655
01:16:46,461 --> 01:16:49,440
for the Americans to form an organization,
1656
01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:52,360
some universities, to go over there and start dealing
1657
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,213
with it and, you know, because by going out there
1658
01:16:55,213 --> 01:16:57,633
and digging you can tell what they ate,
1659
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:00,818
when they ate, where they stored it,
1660
01:17:00,818 --> 01:17:03,970
learn from fighting positions and stuff.
1661
01:17:03,970 --> 01:17:06,252
We would go out there and look at their
1662
01:17:06,252 --> 01:17:09,040
fighting positions to see how they were made
1663
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:10,710
to give us an idea of.
1664
01:17:10,710 --> 01:17:11,590
- [Eddie] Military history.
1665
01:17:11,590 --> 01:17:13,760
- Sure, sure.
1666
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:15,955
- Shoot, you could do a masters on that
1667
01:17:15,955 --> 01:17:17,606
and be in charge of all it, Shawn.
1668
01:17:17,606 --> 01:17:18,821
- [Shawn] That's what I want to do.
1669
01:17:18,821 --> 01:17:20,002
- Is that what you want to do your masters on?
1670
01:17:20,002 --> 01:17:21,032
- I'd really like to.
1671
01:17:21,032 --> 01:17:22,357
- I think he's gonna start.
1672
01:17:22,357 --> 01:17:23,985
- Yeah, I'd really like to do that, as a matter of fact,
1673
01:17:23,985 --> 01:17:25,485
those patches I have in there.
1674
01:17:27,862 --> 01:17:32,290
- The inhibit switch generates the Inhibit Launch Command.
1675
01:17:32,290 --> 01:17:34,373
ILC, the Inhibit Launch Command.
1676
01:17:36,820 --> 01:17:41,780
If somehow, some way, somebody were able to enable
1677
01:17:41,780 --> 01:17:46,780
our missiles, not authorized, we need some way to stop it.
1678
01:17:48,900 --> 01:17:51,820
That's what the Inhibit Launch Command is for.
1679
01:17:51,820 --> 01:17:56,763
An inhibit code is stored in that third MCU,
1680
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:02,683
third MCU right back here in your launch control panel.
1681
01:18:03,870 --> 01:18:06,354
If you were to turn your launch control panel over
1682
01:18:06,354 --> 01:18:07,840
and it'd match up exactly where the inhibit switch
1683
01:18:09,210 --> 01:18:10,043
is on the front.
1684
01:18:10,043 --> 01:18:12,723
So, the third MCU has the inhibit code.
1685
01:18:15,559 --> 01:18:17,660
Coded up, again, back at the Codes Vault.
1686
01:18:17,660 --> 01:18:19,500
All the code components will be coded
1687
01:18:19,500 --> 01:18:22,303
at the Codes Vault, DO9.
1688
01:18:26,010 --> 01:18:28,614
So the inhibit code is the third MCU,
1689
01:18:28,614 --> 01:18:32,341
it is transmitted All Call just by flipping the switch,
1690
01:18:32,341 --> 01:18:33,980
just like the launch code.
1691
01:18:33,980 --> 01:18:38,980
Turn the switch, it goes out to all LFs in the squadron.
1692
01:18:41,112 --> 01:18:42,580
The inhibit code is transmitted any time
1693
01:18:42,580 --> 01:18:47,580
the crew detects an unauthorized enable or launch attempt.
1694
01:18:48,056 --> 01:18:49,333
Any time.
1695
01:19:29,175 --> 01:19:30,565
- Basically, from what you've told me,
1696
01:19:30,565 --> 01:19:31,460
I can tailor this lesson plan now
1697
01:19:31,460 --> 01:19:34,187
to what I think you might need or be useful to you.
1698
01:19:35,250 --> 01:19:37,000
And, the first thing I want to tell you
1699
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,805
is how we write our tests.
1700
01:19:40,805 --> 01:19:45,680
We try real hard to follow the instructional systems
1701
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,610
approach at education here and what that means to you
1702
01:19:49,610 --> 01:19:53,220
basically is unlike in college where you might have
1703
01:19:53,220 --> 01:19:55,256
a professor come in and say,
1704
01:19:55,256 --> 01:19:56,693
well, read chapters five and six
1705
01:19:56,693 --> 01:19:58,370
and tomorrow be prepared for a quiz,
1706
01:19:58,370 --> 01:20:01,460
where there might be anywhere from 100 to 200 concepts
1707
01:20:01,460 --> 01:20:04,090
in those two chapters and you'd have to know them all
1708
01:20:04,090 --> 01:20:07,135
in order to chance guess which 20
1709
01:20:07,135 --> 01:20:08,900
he was gonna give you on the test, we don't do that.
1710
01:20:08,900 --> 01:20:10,920
We tell you right up front,
1711
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,420
we want you to know this material, we spell it out
1712
01:20:13,420 --> 01:20:16,150
in the objectives, and then when we write our tests,
1713
01:20:16,150 --> 01:20:19,730
we write them so they mirror those objectives exactly.
1714
01:20:19,730 --> 01:20:23,370
So, with that bit of information, you should know,
1715
01:20:23,370 --> 01:20:26,760
you have in your possession, in your training guide,
1716
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,680
exactly what we're gonna test you on each day.
1717
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:31,543
In your objectives, okay?
1718
01:20:32,739 --> 01:20:34,534
There's one other area I want to get into.
1719
01:20:34,534 --> 01:20:38,370
And that is, this is a last ditch effort,
1720
01:20:38,370 --> 01:20:40,610
when everything else fails,
1721
01:20:40,610 --> 01:20:42,559
I'm gonna show you some techniques
1722
01:20:42,559 --> 01:20:44,780
that you can look for in testing.
1723
01:20:44,780 --> 01:20:46,910
I'm gonna hand you out a multiple choice question.
1724
01:20:46,910 --> 01:20:49,070
These are not on any missile topic,
1725
01:20:49,070 --> 01:20:52,663
they're just general topic questions.
1726
01:20:53,787 --> 01:20:58,650
And I want you to read those aloud for me.
1727
01:20:58,650 --> 01:21:00,675
And what I'm gonna show you here
1728
01:21:00,675 --> 01:21:03,053
are just some simple testmanship techniques.
1729
01:21:03,053 --> 01:21:06,163
I just came back from Alabama and there was a fellow there
1730
01:21:06,163 --> 01:21:09,550
who's an expert in writing tests and how tests are written.
1731
01:21:09,550 --> 01:21:11,630
He claims that he can any test, any topic,
1732
01:21:11,630 --> 01:21:15,450
and do at least 70% just because he knows what to look for
1733
01:21:15,450 --> 01:21:19,911
in how tests are constructed and so what I'm gonna do
1734
01:21:19,911 --> 01:21:21,396
is give you some tips here.
1735
01:21:21,396 --> 01:21:23,360
I want to emphasize, this is after everything else
1736
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,120
has failed, these are tips that'll just improve your odds
1737
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,130
of guessing, okay?
1738
01:21:28,130 --> 01:21:30,210
Can't overemphasize the importance
1739
01:21:30,210 --> 01:21:32,360
of good preparation and testmanship.
1740
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:35,157
If everything else fails, try these techniques.
1741
01:21:35,157 --> 01:21:37,280
Okay? Read the first one there.
1742
01:21:41,166 --> 01:21:44,278
- A comedy is, A a sad play, B a long book,
1743
01:21:44,278 --> 01:21:47,870
C a work, especially a play, in which the characters
1744
01:21:47,870 --> 01:21:50,807
undergo amusing distress and the action turns out well
1745
01:21:50,807 --> 01:21:51,878
for the chief characters, D an epic.
1746
01:21:51,878 --> 01:21:52,883
- [Trainer] Okay, do you know the answer
1747
01:21:52,883 --> 01:21:53,874
right off the top of your head?
1748
01:21:53,874 --> 01:21:54,946
- C.
1749
01:21:54,946 --> 01:21:56,555
- [Trainer] Okay, did you know that
1750
01:21:56,555 --> 01:21:57,636
before you took this test?
1751
01:21:57,636 --> 01:21:58,469
- Yes, sir.
1752
01:21:58,469 --> 01:22:01,480
- Okay, C is the right answer and the concept
1753
01:22:01,480 --> 01:22:03,530
that I'm trying to get at here is that it's
1754
01:22:03,530 --> 01:22:04,543
the longest answer.
1755
01:22:05,656 --> 01:22:07,040
For some reason, psychologically,
1756
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:08,920
test writers make an error sometimes
1757
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:13,393
and they'll save the best answer for the longest answer.
1758
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,750
So, if you've got four choices and you just don't know,
1759
01:22:16,750 --> 01:22:19,300
generally, the longer answer is the correct answer.
1760
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:21,260
Okay, now, number two.
1761
01:22:22,910 --> 01:22:25,266
- The mature human being has how many teeth?
1762
01:22:25,266 --> 01:22:29,089
A 15, B 32, C 54, D 7.
1763
01:22:29,089 --> 01:22:30,093
- [Trainer] Now, do you know the answer?
1764
01:22:30,093 --> 01:22:30,925
- 32.
1765
01:22:30,925 --> 01:22:32,092
- [Trainer] Did you know that?
1766
01:22:32,092 --> 01:22:33,096
- Yes, sir.
1767
01:22:33,096 --> 01:22:34,596
- [Trainer] Okay, in this one we're talking
1768
01:22:34,596 --> 01:22:35,958
about extremes of values.
1769
01:22:35,958 --> 01:22:37,700
When you have values and you have value extremes,
1770
01:22:37,700 --> 01:22:39,640
the extremes are usually wrong.
1771
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,750
Okay, so in this case, you can eliminate what?
1772
01:22:41,750 --> 01:22:43,230
- 54 and 7.
1773
01:22:43,230 --> 01:22:45,270
- [Trainer] C and D, and that cuts your odds in guessing
1774
01:22:45,270 --> 01:22:48,820
down to one in two instead of one in four.
1775
01:22:48,820 --> 01:22:50,593
Okay, number three.
1776
01:22:53,746 --> 01:22:56,510
- The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was ratified
1777
01:22:56,510 --> 01:22:57,473
by Moscow because.
1778
01:22:58,450 --> 01:23:00,862
- [Trainer] You can just read that alternate silently.
1779
01:23:00,862 --> 01:23:01,866
- Sir?
1780
01:23:01,866 --> 01:23:03,200
- [Trainer] You can just read the choices silently.
1781
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:04,032
- Okay.
1782
01:23:11,942 --> 01:23:13,480
- I have the student information package
1783
01:23:13,480 --> 01:23:17,040
being processed over to branch.
1784
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:20,950
What happened was that we had the ASRP when we came back
1785
01:23:20,950 --> 01:23:24,410
from SAC on that Thursday, the next day, we asked PRP
1786
01:23:24,410 --> 01:23:28,170
what they wanted, was some additional training rides,
1787
01:23:28,170 --> 01:23:30,240
some one-on-one training for academics.
1788
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,163
The deficiency was inside the MPT.
1789
01:23:33,220 --> 01:23:36,080
I gave him Ride 16, he got a three on the ride,
1790
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:38,380
one significant error, however, that is the average
1791
01:23:38,380 --> 01:23:41,559
for that ride, with the level of difficulty it is the max
1792
01:23:41,559 --> 01:23:44,134
you usually get is two significant errors,
1793
01:23:44,134 --> 01:23:46,172
so there was some optimism that we could
1794
01:23:46,172 --> 01:23:47,559
get a direct (mumbles).
1795
01:23:47,559 --> 01:23:50,993
However what happened was, he had an additional MPT session
1796
01:23:50,993 --> 01:23:53,483
on Saturday, he followed the next week with Rides 17,
1797
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,559
18, and 19, straight ones.
1798
01:23:56,559 --> 01:23:58,680
For an example, on Ride 18, the average is like
1799
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,287
three significant errors and he was receiving nine.
1800
01:24:01,287 --> 01:24:04,280
And then on Ride 19, our practice eval,
1801
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:06,250
he received another one.
1802
01:24:06,250 --> 01:24:09,830
And so the criterion was to receive a satisfactory on
1803
01:24:09,830 --> 01:24:13,150
three out of five graded MPT sessions during that period
1804
01:24:13,150 --> 01:24:16,830
of time and, as of Friday, he had already
1805
01:24:16,830 --> 01:24:19,790
exceeded that average.
1806
01:24:19,790 --> 01:24:24,452
He, as of Ride 19, he had only passed 42%
1807
01:24:24,452 --> 01:24:29,337
of graded MPT sessions up and including Ride 19, 42%.
1808
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,160
So if you'd like to talk more about.
1809
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:35,573
- Okay, now, you say you did have
1810
01:24:35,573 --> 01:24:37,140
a Student Progress Review Panel on him?
1811
01:24:37,140 --> 01:24:38,499
- [Officer] Yes, sir, yes, sir.
1812
01:24:38,499 --> 01:24:39,393
That was on the Thursday of the week I got back from SAC.
1813
01:24:41,977 --> 01:24:43,632
- Okay, so you basically are recommending him
1814
01:24:43,632 --> 01:24:44,742
for elimination.
1815
01:24:44,742 --> 01:24:45,736
- Yes, sir, I am, and I talked with Major Crook
1816
01:24:45,736 --> 01:24:46,910
and Major Delp on Friday on this and we reviewed
1817
01:24:46,910 --> 01:24:49,123
his performance record just to get a feel as to,
1818
01:24:49,123 --> 01:24:53,260
you know, he's a very enjoyable person to be around
1819
01:24:53,260 --> 01:24:56,900
but he's, he is satisfied he is trying his best
1820
01:24:56,900 --> 01:24:59,477
and I'm satisfied with what the instructors
1821
01:24:59,477 --> 01:25:00,309
have done for him.
1822
01:25:00,309 --> 01:25:03,190
We've put in 107 hours of individualized training,
1823
01:25:03,190 --> 01:25:06,220
of which about 51 have been individualized one-on-one.
1824
01:25:06,220 --> 01:25:07,053
- [Officer] Wow.
1825
01:25:07,053 --> 01:25:10,450
- And so he has failed 10 out of 17 graded MPT sessions.
1826
01:25:10,450 --> 01:25:12,720
- Yeah, yell, that's one of those things.
1827
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:14,927
He's a fine troop, but in this business,
1828
01:25:14,927 --> 01:25:18,975
you know, we gotta have, folks who can do this
1829
01:25:18,975 --> 01:25:21,890
very tough job and it's not fair to the crew force
1830
01:25:21,890 --> 01:25:24,740
to put somebody out there that can't hack it, that's all.
1831
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,553
(crowd cheering)
1832
01:25:52,576 --> 01:25:55,576
(crowd chattering)
1833
01:26:10,207 --> 01:26:13,040
(crowd cheering)
1834
01:26:41,193 --> 01:26:42,860
- There it is again.
1835
01:26:44,848 --> 01:26:47,848
(crowd chattering)
1836
01:26:53,387 --> 01:26:54,637
- Come on, Bev.
1837
01:26:58,656 --> 01:27:01,239
- [Man Holding Baby] You tired?
1838
01:27:02,746 --> 01:27:05,496
(crowd cheering)
1839
01:27:08,820 --> 01:27:11,737
(crowd chattering)
1840
01:27:26,714 --> 01:27:29,214
(bland music)
1841
01:27:30,233 --> 01:27:32,014
(beeping)
1842
01:27:32,014 --> 01:27:33,856
- [Voice On Phone] Command post, Captain Morgan speaking.
1843
01:27:33,856 --> 01:27:35,333
- Yes, Captain Morgan, this is Lieutenant Manuel
1844
01:27:35,333 --> 01:27:36,630
at Echo Capsule.
1845
01:27:36,630 --> 01:27:37,930
Could you patch me through
1846
01:27:38,791 --> 01:27:39,633
to Information Systems Job Control?
1847
01:27:40,571 --> 01:27:43,567
- [Voice On Phone] Stand by, please.
1848
01:27:43,567 --> 01:27:44,400
(beeping)
1849
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:45,830
- [Voice On Phone] Information Systems Job Control,
1850
01:27:45,830 --> 01:27:46,766
Sergeant Corwin.
1851
01:27:46,766 --> 01:27:48,294
- Sergeant Corwin, this is Lieutenant Manuel
1852
01:27:48,294 --> 01:27:49,308
at Echo Capsule.
1853
01:27:49,308 --> 01:27:51,730
I have Command Post on the line.
1854
01:27:51,730 --> 01:27:53,640
I'd like to report to you that we had a fire
1855
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,450
in our FSAG Com group.
1856
01:27:55,450 --> 01:27:57,600
We electrically isolated the fire.
1857
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,610
There's light smoke damage to the equipment.
1858
01:27:59,610 --> 01:28:02,290
We have lost our SATCOM capability.
1859
01:28:02,290 --> 01:28:03,493
Are there any write-ups?
1860
01:28:04,410 --> 01:28:06,606
- [Voice On Phone] Ah, let's see.
1861
01:28:06,606 --> 01:28:08,175
We'll get back to you with write-ups
1862
01:28:08,175 --> 01:28:09,742
when we've researched it.
1863
01:28:09,742 --> 01:28:11,025
- Okay, any other information?
1864
01:28:11,025 --> 01:28:11,974
- [Voice On Phone] No, sir, thank you.
1865
01:28:11,974 --> 01:28:12,945
- Okay, did you copy that, Command Post?
1866
01:28:12,945 --> 01:28:14,875
- [Voice On Phone] Command Post copies, thank you.
1867
01:28:14,875 --> 01:28:15,854
- Initial.
1868
01:28:15,854 --> 01:28:17,394
- [Voice On Phone] It's Alpha Charlie here at
1869
01:28:17,394 --> 01:28:19,506
Information Systems and Tango Y Command Post.
1870
01:28:19,506 --> 01:28:20,339
- Thank you.
1871
01:28:20,339 --> 01:28:22,589
(beeping)
1872
01:28:30,790 --> 01:28:32,090
- Weapon System Safety Rules, or you'll hear me
1873
01:28:32,090 --> 01:28:35,053
refer to them as WSSRs, W-S-S-R,
1874
01:28:36,220 --> 01:28:39,010
are of the utmost importance to us because,
1875
01:28:39,010 --> 01:28:41,580
as you've heard me say before, violation
1876
01:28:41,580 --> 01:28:44,780
of Weapon System Safety Rules is a biggie.
1877
01:28:44,780 --> 01:28:47,090
This is one of those ones when the old career dissipation
1878
01:28:47,090 --> 01:28:49,350
light comes on, okay?
1879
01:28:49,350 --> 01:28:51,389
So, this is one of those times when you're
1880
01:28:51,389 --> 01:28:53,190
really gonna be worried about what's going on.
1881
01:28:53,190 --> 01:28:54,980
Now, if you've done everything right,
1882
01:28:54,980 --> 01:28:58,240
in accordance with your technical order and something
1883
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:00,850
happens that violates Weapon System Safety Rules
1884
01:29:00,850 --> 01:29:02,700
and you've done everything right
1885
01:29:02,700 --> 01:29:05,510
and you make all the proper reports, you're not in trouble.
1886
01:29:05,510 --> 01:29:06,870
You're not in trouble.
1887
01:29:06,870 --> 01:29:08,809
Violating Weapon System Safety Rules
1888
01:29:08,809 --> 01:29:13,809
intentionally or negligently will get you into trouble.
1889
01:29:13,825 --> 01:29:15,093
A lot of trouble.
1890
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,490
Because we are dealing with these nuclear weapons.
1891
01:29:18,490 --> 01:29:21,160
Now, the overall goals and standards
1892
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:24,250
that are associated with Weapon System Safety Rules.
1893
01:29:24,250 --> 01:29:26,140
First of all, the whole big thing about
1894
01:29:26,140 --> 01:29:30,368
Weapon System Safety Rules is to prevent a nuclear weapon
1895
01:29:30,368 --> 01:29:34,035
that's involved in an accident or an incident or a
1896
01:29:34,035 --> 01:29:35,700
deficiency or anything like that
1897
01:29:35,700 --> 01:29:38,030
from generating a nuclear yield.
1898
01:29:38,030 --> 01:29:41,559
The design of the weapon, the way we handle the weapons,
1899
01:29:41,559 --> 01:29:44,340
the whole thing, remember when we had that trajectory
1900
01:29:44,340 --> 01:29:45,733
we showed back on day one?
1901
01:29:46,811 --> 01:29:48,061
When did the warhead arm?
1902
01:29:49,009 --> 01:29:50,377
Do you remember?
1903
01:29:50,377 --> 01:29:51,382
- [Trainee] Right before the end.
1904
01:29:51,382 --> 01:29:52,215
- Just before it gets there.
1905
01:29:52,215 --> 01:29:54,620
All of that is designed so that we don't have
1906
01:29:54,620 --> 01:29:58,420
a nuclear weapon detonate in an accident.
1907
01:29:58,420 --> 01:30:01,980
We can have a fire on a plane carrying nuclear weapons
1908
01:30:01,980 --> 01:30:04,660
and it's not gonna detonate the weapon.
1909
01:30:04,660 --> 01:30:07,490
This is all concerned with Weapon System Safety Rules.
1910
01:30:07,490 --> 01:30:10,886
They apply to all phases of operation
1911
01:30:10,886 --> 01:30:13,070
for the Minuteman weapon system
1912
01:30:13,070 --> 01:30:17,309
throughout the stockpile to target sequence.
1913
01:30:17,309 --> 01:30:20,720
That's a key phrase, stockpile to target.
1914
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:23,730
The whole time we've got them, they apply.
1915
01:30:23,730 --> 01:30:26,120
There is no point in a nuclear weapon's
1916
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:28,032
life when they do not apply.
1917
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:43,673
- Now, I've got a bit of bad news.
1918
01:30:43,673 --> 01:30:47,630
I got this letter from Sergeant Manzanarez
1919
01:30:47,630 --> 01:30:52,440
over in RY Maintenance and, basically,
1920
01:30:52,440 --> 01:30:54,920
our instructors are not taking care of the MPTs
1921
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:58,570
and they, Maintenance asked me to just put out an edict
1922
01:30:58,570 --> 01:31:01,030
that there be no more eating, drinking, or smoking
1923
01:31:01,030 --> 01:31:03,430
in the cabs of the MPTs and, you know,
1924
01:31:03,430 --> 01:31:05,853
this, to me, just seems unnecessary.
1925
01:31:07,030 --> 01:31:08,840
Let me give you some specifics.
1926
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:13,020
RY015 CDB, moldering cigarette left on equipment counters,
1927
01:31:13,020 --> 01:31:15,790
Marlboros and Kents, he even knows what brand they are.
1928
01:31:15,790 --> 01:31:19,010
Okay, RY014 CDB and ILCS, footprints
1929
01:31:19,010 --> 01:31:21,339
on equipment racks, doors and walls.
1930
01:31:21,339 --> 01:31:22,172
And some pop cans around.
1931
01:31:22,172 --> 01:31:27,172
All right, okay, okay, RY011 MOD, half-eaten Twinkie
1932
01:31:27,390 --> 01:31:28,693
left between the racks.
1933
01:31:30,666 --> 01:31:32,680
Okay, RY010 MOD, grease pencil smeared on floors.
1934
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:37,090
RY005 CDB and ILCS, there are some coffee spills.
1935
01:31:37,090 --> 01:31:40,240
Okay, several MPTs felt-tip pens are allowed to be used
1936
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:43,260
on Plexiglass, almost impossible to wipe clean.
1937
01:31:43,260 --> 01:31:45,520
Okay, now, what I want to do on this.
1938
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,280
I'm going to ask the maintenance people,
1939
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:51,916
and apparently they've come to me because efforts,
1940
01:31:51,916 --> 01:31:56,138
you know, working it at their level haven't helped so,
1941
01:31:56,138 --> 01:31:58,460
this kinda is the last.
1942
01:31:58,460 --> 01:32:00,960
And, you know, I don't like this kind of unpleasantness.
1943
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:03,559
We've got professionals there that are just getting
1944
01:32:04,558 --> 01:32:06,410
a little bit careless, so I expect your attention
1945
01:32:06,410 --> 01:32:08,910
to this and give it one more try.
1946
01:32:08,910 --> 01:32:11,460
And I'm gonna ask maintenance branch
1947
01:32:11,460 --> 01:32:14,620
to let me know how well this goes come next week.
1948
01:32:14,620 --> 01:32:19,610
I certainly don't wanna take away the privilege
1949
01:32:19,610 --> 01:32:23,160
of taking snacks into the cabs because that's tough.
1950
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:24,960
That means they gotta come out of there every time
1951
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:26,300
they want to have a snack and, you know,
1952
01:32:26,300 --> 01:32:28,525
with a six hour trainer ride, that's tough.
1953
01:32:28,525 --> 01:32:31,057
Okay, any questions?
1954
01:32:41,532 --> 01:32:44,200

1955
01:32:45,927 --> 01:32:47,340

(bell ringing)
2021
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:31,963
Hands on keys, three, two, one, mark.

- [Trainee Deputy] Got my print.
2023

(bell ringing)
2024
01:36:37,989 --> 01:36:39,723
- Got the alarms, okay.
2025
01:36:39,723 --> 01:36:41,067

Okay, I've got fault lighting, fault outer security,

2031

Okay, missile away on eight, nine, 10, four, five and three.

01:37:00,581 --> 01:37:01,960
They're all gone.
2035
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,130
(bell ringing)
2036
01:37:04,130 --> 01:37:06,455
Okay, they're all gone, deputy.
2037
01:37:06,455 --> 01:37:08,853
That's it, that's all she wrote.
2038
01:37:08,853 --> 01:37:09,686
(alarm buzzing)
2039
01:37:09,686 --> 01:37:12,186
(bland music)
2040
01:37:16,121 --> 01:37:17,353
- [Man] Do you have you got all your classified put away?
2041
01:37:22,340 --> 01:37:24,410
- Okay, commander and deputy.
2042
01:37:24,410 --> 01:37:29,109
First thing we'd like to do is inform you
2043
01:37:29,109 --> 01:37:30,693
that your evaluation resulted
2044
01:37:30,693 --> 01:37:32,621
in a Highly Qualified rating, 5-0, no errors.
2045
01:37:32,621 --> 01:37:34,115
(crew sighs)
2046
01:37:34,115 --> 01:37:35,041
And we'd like to.
2047
01:37:35,041 --> 01:37:36,496
- All right!
2048
01:37:36,496 --> 01:37:37,329
- [Officer\} Be the first to welcome you
2049
01:37:37,329 --> 01:37:39,058
to the Minuteman crew force.
2050
01:37:39,058 --> 01:37:40,054
- Thank you.
2051
01:37:40,054 --> 01:37:40,887
- Thank you.
2052
01:37:40,887 --> 01:37:41,980
- [Officer] Okay, congratulations.
2053
01:37:41,980 --> 01:37:42,974
- [Officer] Congratulations.
2054
01:37:42,974 --> 01:37:43,894
- Thank you.
2055
01:37:43,894 --> 01:37:45,993
- Do you wanna have a seat, we'll go over a few things
2056
01:37:45,993 --> 01:37:46,826
we'd like to discuss with you.
2057
01:37:46,826 --> 01:37:48,360
As mentioned, we have no, uh, no errors.
2058
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:51,139
I'd like to point out, too, that we, felt that your
2059
01:37:51,139 --> 01:37:55,670
performance was a very outstanding one
2060
01:37:55,670 --> 01:37:59,513
and we awarded you an Outstanding Performance on the report.
2061
01:38:00,544 --> 01:38:01,823
Do you have any comments?
2062
01:38:01,823 --> 01:38:02,656
- Just to technique.
2063
01:38:04,190 --> 01:38:06,710
When you're reading printouts, multiple printouts
2064
01:38:06,710 --> 01:38:09,630
like the Inhibit test, one of the techniques to use
2065
01:38:09,630 --> 01:38:11,059
is you can use the versa switches
2066
01:38:11,059 --> 01:38:12,907
instead of writing it down.
2067
01:38:12,907 --> 01:38:13,900
Sometimes it's just easier just to pop those up
2068
01:38:13,900 --> 01:38:15,057
and then you can see which ones are there
2069
01:38:15,057 --> 01:38:16,818
and which ones aren't.
2070
01:38:16,818 --> 01:38:18,129
That's just technique-wise.
2071
01:38:18,129 --> 01:38:19,940
- [Trainee] You're talking about on the inhibit switch
2072
01:38:19,940 --> 01:38:21,353
when she told me what we needed to check?
2073
01:38:21,353 --> 01:38:22,904
- On the inhibits or any multiple printouts like that,
2074
01:38:22,904 --> 01:38:23,737
that you're checking for, that's technique.
2075
01:38:23,737 --> 01:38:26,156
The other overall comment I thought your crew coordination
2076
01:38:26,156 --> 01:38:28,889
throughout the evaluation was outstanding.
2077
01:38:28,889 --> 01:38:30,940
Checklist discipline especially.
2078
01:38:30,940 --> 01:38:34,457
And that was evident in your Emergency War Order
2079
01:38:34,457 --> 01:38:35,520
procedures once you got there.
2080
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:38,210
You can tell that you trained very hard
2081
01:38:38,210 --> 01:38:40,920
to get to this state of readiness.
2082
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:41,813
- [Both Women] Thank you.
2083
01:38:42,699 --> 01:38:43,710
- [Kathleen] We put in a few hours.
2084
01:38:43,710 --> 01:38:46,460
- To piggyback off of that is your checklist discipline,
2085
01:38:46,460 --> 01:38:49,370
I feel, was well beyond the IQT level
2086
01:38:49,370 --> 01:38:51,405
and I think that may be attributable
2087
01:38:51,405 --> 01:38:53,620
to your prior experience in Titan.
2088
01:38:53,620 --> 01:38:55,469
- We also had a good instructor.
2089
01:38:55,469 --> 01:38:56,512
- This is true.
2090
01:38:56,512 --> 01:38:59,719
- Continue, continue with that and, pass that on
2091
01:38:59,719 --> 01:39:02,870
to the people that you'll be dealing with.
2092
01:39:02,870 --> 01:39:05,170
Now, you are gonna be under what I consider,
2093
01:39:05,170 --> 01:39:07,190
maybe it isn't, but somewhat of a disadvantage
2094
01:39:07,190 --> 01:39:08,920
is that when you all go on alert,
2095
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,380
you're not gonna have the advantage of being out there
2096
01:39:11,380 --> 01:39:13,200
with somebody who's been pulling alerts
2097
01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:16,059
in the Minuteman system, so it's gonna be real incumbent
2098
01:39:16,059 --> 01:39:18,487
upon you to ask a lot of questions,
2099
01:39:18,487 --> 01:39:21,150
utilize those instructors and evaluators,
2100
01:39:21,150 --> 01:39:24,820
especially when the instructor takes you out to the field
2101
01:39:24,820 --> 01:39:28,380
to learn all those ins and outs and ropes and things,
2102
01:39:28,380 --> 01:39:30,520
because what's coming up in the next six months
2103
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,559
is gonna be that first recurring evaluation
2104
01:39:33,559 --> 01:39:37,996
which will entail the field portion of the check.
2105
01:39:37,996 --> 01:39:39,540
- I don't think I can reduplicate the stress factor
2106
01:39:39,540 --> 01:39:41,463
of this one, I just can't do it again.
2107
01:39:42,693 --> 01:39:43,700
- I'm sure you can.
2108
01:39:43,700 --> 01:39:46,427
But all I'm trying to get to here is the unit's
2109
01:39:46,427 --> 01:39:47,940
gonna be looking at you real hard for that first evaluation.
2110
01:39:47,940 --> 01:39:50,130
They look at everybody hard that way
2111
01:39:50,130 --> 01:39:54,080
and it's gonna be real important that you all utilize
2112
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:56,800
your instructors and evaluators at the wing
2113
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,153
in preparation for that first recurring check.
2114
01:40:00,790 --> 01:40:04,641
You know from your Titan experience probably that,
2115
01:40:04,641 --> 01:40:07,070
you've learned all the contingencies
2116
01:40:07,070 --> 01:40:09,534
and you've seen all the things that can go wrong,
2117
01:40:09,534 --> 01:40:10,367
but you're gonna go out there and find
2118
01:40:10,367 --> 01:40:13,550
it's a very reliable system and it doesn't break very often
2119
01:40:13,550 --> 01:40:15,050
and there's gonna be a tendency
2120
01:40:15,050 --> 01:40:19,916
to not have anything to do so you might tend to not study.
2121
01:40:19,916 --> 01:40:21,568
- [Kathleen] Forget the checklist is there, right?
2122
01:40:21,568 --> 01:40:23,293
- So, let's stay on the tech data
2123
01:40:23,293 --> 01:40:24,660
and utilize your instructors and evaluators.
2124
01:40:24,660 --> 01:40:27,760
- Yeah, I think we realize that we're really gonna have to
2125
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:29,330
do that because we don't have a, you know,
2126
01:40:29,330 --> 01:40:31,784
we're not going on crew with somebody who's been
2127
01:40:31,784 --> 01:40:33,510
in the system for a year or two, so.
2128
01:40:33,510 --> 01:40:36,410
- I understand your CPO's are much shorter
2129
01:40:36,410 --> 01:40:40,434
than what we're used to, we'd have to keep in practice
2130
01:40:40,434 --> 01:40:41,268
to be able to meet them.
2131
01:40:41,268 --> 01:40:43,730
- Congratulations, welcome to the Minuteman crew force.
2132
01:40:43,730 --> 01:40:45,055
- Thanks.
2133
01:40:45,055 --> 01:40:46,059
- Oh, we appreciate it, very much.
2134
01:40:46,059 --> 01:40:48,465
- Good luck, to you, drive careful, too.
2135
01:40:48,465 --> 01:40:49,420
- Thank you, will do.
2136
01:40:49,420 --> 01:40:50,253
- Thank you
2137
01:40:52,500 --> 01:40:53,957
- Whooo!
2138
01:40:53,957 --> 01:40:55,556
- [Officer] Good job.
2139
01:40:55,556 --> 01:40:56,562
- [Kathleen] Thank you.
2140
01:40:56,562 --> 01:40:58,103
- Thank you.
2141
01:40:58,103 --> 01:40:59,103
- Good job.
2142
01:41:00,056 --> 01:41:01,139
- Oh, thanks.
2143
01:41:02,478 --> 01:41:04,562
- Let's go do something!
2144
01:41:05,457 --> 01:41:08,365
- Oh, boy! Whew, boy, that's a.
2145
01:41:08,365 --> 01:41:10,263
- Make my day.
2146
01:41:11,978 --> 01:41:13,478
- Congratulations.
2147
01:41:14,402 --> 01:41:15,235
- Thank you.
2148
01:41:15,235 --> 01:41:17,370
- [Officer] You forgot to put the score on that.
2149
01:41:17,370 --> 01:41:19,357
Put those on there, the score on the.
2150
01:41:20,409 --> 01:41:23,909
(both trainees cheering)
2151
01:41:48,835 --> 01:41:50,389
- It was a week ago when our President
2152
01:41:50,389 --> 01:41:52,750
addressed us as a nation.
2153
01:41:52,750 --> 01:41:54,969
In that address, he quoted from a poem
2154
01:41:54,969 --> 01:41:58,653
that's familiar to many of us who wear the blue suit.
2155
01:41:59,639 --> 01:42:04,183
It was a poem by John Magee, written many, many years ago.
2156
01:42:05,070 --> 01:42:08,207
The last few lines of that poem read,
2157
01:42:08,207 --> 01:42:12,634
"And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
2158
01:42:12,634 --> 01:42:16,857
"The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
2159
01:42:16,857 --> 01:42:20,957
"Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."
2160
01:42:22,809 --> 01:42:27,130
It seems like those words are able to transcend
2161
01:42:27,130 --> 01:42:29,620
the time and the place in which they were written
2162
01:42:31,219 --> 01:42:33,853
and speak to each of us in our moment of need.
2163
01:42:35,590 --> 01:42:39,330
The first recipient of those words was a father
2164
01:42:39,330 --> 01:42:44,330
who had sent his son off to go to war a long time ago,
2165
01:42:44,700 --> 01:42:48,410
World War I, his son was an aviator
2166
01:42:48,410 --> 01:42:51,883
who flew biplanes in open cockpits.
2167
01:42:53,870 --> 01:42:57,780
He received this poem shortly after
2168
01:42:57,780 --> 01:43:01,370
he had received the notification of his son's death.
2169
01:43:01,370 --> 01:43:03,452
And the first public reading of it
2170
01:43:03,452 --> 01:43:05,353
was at the funeral of his son.
2171
01:43:07,389 --> 01:43:09,760
It seems to me that these words are able
2172
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:14,150
to transcend the time of open cockpits
2173
01:43:15,660 --> 01:43:17,780
and move right into the time when I need
2174
01:43:17,780 --> 01:43:19,313
to hear words of comfort,
2175
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:26,160
of time when I need to hear of space, of flight,
2176
01:43:27,010 --> 01:43:29,803
in conjunction with the witness of my God.
2177
01:43:31,300 --> 01:43:36,300
They seem to transcend that limited timeliness
2178
01:43:36,700 --> 01:43:38,543
and speak to me forever.
2179
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:44,100
They ignore the technology of one moment
2180
01:43:44,100 --> 01:43:45,643
and move beyond that.
2181
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:48,293
Let us pray together.
2182
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:56,530
Oh God, who gave us birth, you are ever more ready
2183
01:43:56,530 --> 01:43:58,223
to hear than we are to pray.
2184
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:00,889
You know our needs before we ask.
2185
01:44:02,936 --> 01:44:05,719
You know where our souls and spirits have been wounded.
2186
01:44:05,719 --> 01:44:07,580
You know where the hopes and promises
2187
01:44:08,914 --> 01:44:11,109
of the future have been crushed within us.
2188
01:44:11,109 --> 01:44:12,490
You know the pain and the anger,
2189
01:44:12,490 --> 01:44:15,600
frustration and loss we felt on Tuesday
2190
01:44:16,440 --> 01:44:18,112
and continue to feel this day.
2191
01:44:19,440 --> 01:44:21,300
Help us, Oh God.
2192
01:44:21,300 --> 01:44:24,340
Give to us now your grace that as we shrink
2193
01:44:24,340 --> 01:44:26,520
before the mystery of death,
2194
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:28,313
we may see the light of eternity.
2195
01:44:29,480 --> 01:44:32,280
Speak to us once more your solemn message of life
2196
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:33,112
and of death.
2197
01:44:34,130 --> 01:44:37,170
Help us to live as those who have faced death
2198
01:44:37,170 --> 01:44:39,543
and who are prepared both to live and to die.
2199
01:44:40,662 --> 01:44:44,139
Eternal God, we give you thanks for the lives
2200
01:44:44,139 --> 01:44:47,085
of the astronauts who this day we mourn.
2201
01:44:47,085 --> 01:44:50,850
We praise you for their spirit that leads us
2202
01:44:50,850 --> 01:44:53,670
into the frontiers of space.
2203
01:44:53,670 --> 01:44:56,277
We thank you that they were willing to risk their lives
2204
01:44:56,277 --> 01:44:58,903
in order that we might gain a better life.
2205
01:45:00,230 --> 01:45:02,680
Oh God, we pray for one another in need.
2206
01:45:02,680 --> 01:45:05,770
Oh God, may the grief of us all be lessened
2207
01:45:05,770 --> 01:45:07,503
through your ever-present love.
2208
01:45:08,450 --> 01:45:11,650
For those who are weak, give strength.
2209
01:45:11,650 --> 01:45:15,030
For those with doubt, give light.
2210
01:45:15,030 --> 01:45:17,561
And for all who sorrow in every place
2211
01:45:17,561 --> 01:45:20,623
and at all times, bestow upon them your peace.

("Taps")
2218
01:46:47,547 --> 01:46:50,790
- I finish forty years of service to our country this year.
2219
01:46:50,790 --> 01:46:54,710
And not only am I a parachutist as a young soldier
2220
01:46:54,710 --> 01:46:57,130
in the United States Army, early in my career,
2221
01:46:57,130 --> 01:47:01,309
I'm a gliderist, I'm a missileer, in my fact,
2222
01:47:01,309 --> 01:47:04,719
I probably have helped now in the last five years
2223
01:47:04,719 --> 01:47:07,410
launch more missiles than many other generals
2224
01:47:07,410 --> 01:47:09,180
in the Air Force today.
2225
01:47:09,180 --> 01:47:10,540
I'm a space commander.
2226
01:47:10,540 --> 01:47:13,680
I've commanded space organizations
2227
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:17,966
where we're responsible for on orbit satellites.
2228
01:47:17,966 --> 01:47:22,309
I also, this year, and I was modestly pleased
2229
01:47:22,309 --> 01:47:26,840
that my colleagues noted with me that I finished 10 years
2230
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:29,650
of alert duty in the Strategic Air Command.
2231
01:47:29,650 --> 01:47:33,930
I've been flying the Airborne Command Post now for 10 years.
2232
01:47:33,930 --> 01:47:35,300
And I'm proud of that.
2233
01:47:35,300 --> 01:47:38,779
I'm proud of it to the extent that it says
2234
01:47:38,779 --> 01:47:42,639
being on alert in the Strategic Air Command
2235
01:47:42,639 --> 01:47:47,460
is so important to our country that we all perform
2236
01:47:47,460 --> 01:47:50,780
that duty knowing that it's the most important thing
2237
01:47:50,780 --> 01:47:52,090
that we do.
2238
01:47:52,090 --> 01:47:55,110
The generals in our command pull alert
2239
01:47:55,110 --> 01:47:57,770
just like the crew members do.
2240
01:47:57,770 --> 01:48:01,540
And I just finished performing 10 years of that
2241
01:48:01,540 --> 01:48:06,450
with the prospects of doing it for some time yet to come.
2242
01:48:06,450 --> 01:48:11,050
I have over 500 flights in the Airborne Command Post.
2243
01:48:11,050 --> 01:48:13,240
Some 38 hundred hours of flying time.
2244
01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:15,050
If you divide that by eight it ought to come out
2245
01:48:15,050 --> 01:48:16,900
to 500 and some.
2246
01:48:16,900 --> 01:48:18,760
But I've spent a lot of time in the air,
2247
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:22,210
like some of you have already underground
2248
01:48:22,210 --> 01:48:25,059
and like some of you will begin to do.
2249
01:48:25,059 --> 01:48:30,059
And with that interesting look at my background,
2250
01:48:30,610 --> 01:48:33,550
as I try to tie that in to tell you how vital
2251
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:38,290
the alert force is to us, let me humbly remind you now
2252
01:48:38,290 --> 01:48:42,180
that for some 40 years, over 40 years now
2253
01:48:42,180 --> 01:48:44,700
since the end of World War II,
2254
01:48:44,700 --> 01:48:47,800
we in the armed forces, following out the guidance
2255
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:50,219
and instructions of our fellow citizens
2256
01:48:50,219 --> 01:48:52,610
as we are members of an armed force
2257
01:48:52,610 --> 01:48:56,264
and do what our elected leaders tell us to do
2258
01:48:56,264 --> 01:48:59,059
have helped to keep our country free.
2259
01:48:59,059 --> 01:49:01,330
Every day we keep our country free,
2260
01:49:01,330 --> 01:49:03,530
we give men and women in other professions
2261
01:49:05,318 --> 01:49:07,362
more time to solve the problems confronting the world.
2262
01:49:08,308 --> 01:49:10,900
Every time we perform alert, we give confidence
2263
01:49:10,900 --> 01:49:13,700
to our national leaders so that they can carry on
2264
01:49:13,700 --> 01:49:17,520
their responsibilities in leading this great nation of ours.
2265
01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:19,460
But I want to submit to you today,
2266
01:49:19,460 --> 01:49:21,083
and I make this point often,
2267
01:49:22,340 --> 01:49:26,100
that as we give confidence to our national leaders
2268
01:49:26,100 --> 01:49:28,880
that we can do what our country wants us to do
2269
01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:32,105
and provide them an effective deterrent force,
2270
01:49:32,105 --> 01:49:35,780
we also by being on alert remind the leadership
2271
01:49:35,780 --> 01:49:38,639
in the Soviet Union or, frankly, any nation
2272
01:49:38,639 --> 01:49:41,620
that would seek to threaten our country
2273
01:49:41,620 --> 01:49:43,760
with the use of terrorism,
2274
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,580
let alone the use of military force,
2275
01:49:46,580 --> 01:49:50,070
that we're not a nation to be treated lightly
2276
01:49:50,070 --> 01:49:53,780
and I often remind myself that there's a Soviet general
2277
01:49:53,780 --> 01:49:57,630
somewhere who has 40 years service and he's a paratrooper
2278
01:49:57,630 --> 01:49:59,807
and he's a gliderist and a master missileer
2279
01:49:59,807 --> 01:50:02,670
and a space commander and all those things
2280
01:50:02,670 --> 01:50:06,610
that I am because that's also his profession and his job
2281
01:50:06,610 --> 01:50:09,420
every day as he leads and contributes somehow
2282
01:50:09,420 --> 01:50:11,610
to decision making in the Soviet Union
2283
01:50:11,610 --> 01:50:14,650
is to know that men and women like you and I
2284
01:50:14,650 --> 01:50:17,754
are on alert all the time with the wherewithal
2285
01:50:17,754 --> 01:50:20,750
to provide our country with a very, very strong
2286
01:50:20,750 --> 01:50:25,100
deterrent force and I need him every day to remember,
2287
01:50:25,100 --> 01:50:28,610
in the words of General Power who said his job
2288
01:50:28,610 --> 01:50:30,940
was to make sure that the Soviet leadership,
2289
01:50:30,940 --> 01:50:33,582
as they looked at the Strategic Air Command forces
2290
01:50:33,582 --> 01:50:37,050
every day, turned to the other senior leadership
2291
01:50:37,050 --> 01:50:40,410
and said to them, not today, comrades.
2292
01:50:40,410 --> 01:50:44,393
Frankly, not today, not tomorrow, not next month, not ever.
2293
01:50:45,590 --> 01:50:48,440
And you and I as people on alert have to remember
2294
01:50:48,440 --> 01:50:50,773
someplace over there, we have a counterpart
2295
01:50:50,773 --> 01:50:53,270
and our job is to make sure not only
2296
01:50:53,270 --> 01:50:55,930
are our fellow Americans confident
2297
01:50:55,930 --> 01:50:58,219
that we're providing a defense,
2298
01:50:58,219 --> 01:51:00,103
and it's vital and it's important,
2299
01:51:01,121 --> 01:51:03,870
but also our counterparts in the Soviet Union
2300
01:51:03,870 --> 01:51:06,870
absolutely never misunderstand that.
2301
01:51:06,870 --> 01:51:08,544
I'm proud of you.
2302
01:51:08,544 --> 01:51:09,460
I'm proud of what we do.
2303
01:51:09,460 --> 01:51:12,630
Don't ever forget, our country needs us
2304
01:51:12,630 --> 01:51:14,290
to do just what we're doing.
2305
01:51:14,290 --> 01:51:15,730
We need people on alert.
2306
01:51:15,730 --> 01:51:18,410
We need people on alert at the missiles and the airplanes.
2307
01:51:18,410 --> 01:51:20,410
And, frankly, if we don't need that kind
2308
01:51:20,410 --> 01:51:22,929
of a deterrent force, they don't need us.
2309
01:51:22,929 --> 01:51:26,100
And today, they need us, for the future,
2310
01:51:26,100 --> 01:51:28,040
as far as I can see until there's some
2311
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:32,050
dramatic change made in arms control and disarmament,
2312
01:51:32,050 --> 01:51:34,460
our country is still going to need us.
2313
01:51:34,460 --> 01:51:36,840
And there'll be people who will question that
2314
01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:39,030
but you have to have the personal satisfaction
2315
01:51:39,030 --> 01:51:41,270
of knowing that what you're doing is right.
2316
01:51:41,270 --> 01:51:42,170
And I do.
2317
01:51:42,170 --> 01:51:45,389
After 40 years, I still will never, ever
2318
01:51:45,389 --> 01:51:48,130
misunderstand the need for me to perform alert
2319
01:51:48,130 --> 01:51:49,780
aboard the Airborne Command Post.
2320
01:51:50,725 --> 01:51:52,900
There's great gravity associated
2321
01:51:52,900 --> 01:51:54,290
with what you're gonna be doing.
2322
01:51:54,290 --> 01:51:56,300
But when I tell others about us,
2323
01:51:56,300 --> 01:51:58,355
I tell them that we're, by and large,
2324
01:51:58,355 --> 01:52:01,639
people who are representatives of the society
2325
01:52:01,639 --> 01:52:02,889
from which we come.
2326
01:52:02,889 --> 01:52:04,200
And we are.
2327
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:05,969
If I'd asked you for a show of hands,
2328
01:52:05,969 --> 01:52:10,969
it would be like a microcosm of our great society.
2329
01:52:11,290 --> 01:52:15,420
We have people from all walks of life
2330
01:52:15,420 --> 01:52:17,430
here in our armed forces.
2331
01:52:17,430 --> 01:52:21,080
We are representatives of the society from which we come.
2332
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:23,090
I think, by and large, we're men and women
2333
01:52:23,090 --> 01:52:26,400
who are interested in our communities
2334
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:28,920
and not just the base community but a community
2335
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:33,920
that we all serve, at or near the military installations
2336
01:52:33,920 --> 01:52:35,480
where we're assigned.
2337
01:52:35,480 --> 01:52:39,180
I'm always overwhelmed by the participation
2338
01:52:39,180 --> 01:52:40,510
just in this area here.
2339
01:52:40,510 --> 01:52:43,880
I have so many friends who are on United Way boards,
2340
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:45,480
they serve with the Boy Scouts,
2341
01:52:45,480 --> 01:52:49,600
on and off base, but community involvement is a hallmark
2342
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:53,800
of us and I think we encourage that among one another.
2343
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:56,360
We're also people who I think are devoted fathers
2344
01:52:56,360 --> 01:52:59,350
and mothers, and, if you don't have children,
2345
01:52:59,350 --> 01:53:01,469
I'll tell you, that most of us will,
2346
01:53:01,469 --> 01:53:03,690
and we are concerned about our children
2347
01:53:03,690 --> 01:53:05,820
just like people are in any communities
2348
01:53:05,820 --> 01:53:09,763
and watch the schools they go to and concerned about PTAs.
2349
01:53:09,763 --> 01:53:13,317
I think, too, and I repeat this often,
2350
01:53:13,317 --> 01:53:16,793
we're people who are concerned about our God.
2351
01:53:18,130 --> 01:53:21,298
(car engines humming)
