Hi , my name is Master Sergeant Allison

00:04.042 --> 00:06.289
Hug , and I co-coordinated the Civilian

00:06.289 --> 00:08.699
Employer Day 2nd annual boss lift with

00:08.699 --> 00:10.260
Rob Gorsey and the ESGR .

00:14.380 --> 00:16.680
Today went absolutely amazing . We had

00:16.680 --> 00:19.510
about 17 employers that were here for

00:19.510 --> 00:22.069
the event . They all employ military

00:22.069 --> 00:24.125
service members . They were learning

00:24.125 --> 00:26.291
about law . They were able to get into

00:26.291 --> 00:28.458
a Chinook helicopter , learn about our

00:28.458 --> 00:30.125
missions from the engineering

00:30.125 --> 00:32.458
installation squadron , security forces ,

00:32.458 --> 00:34.625
or MQ-9 mission . I actually different

00:34.625 --> 00:36.847
this year that we didn't have last year

00:36.847 --> 00:39.013
was we were able to incorporate the 56

00:39.013 --> 00:41.069
Striker Brigade , army entities that

00:41.069 --> 00:40.830
are here on base , which was absolutely

00:40.830 --> 00:43.040
amazing . They were . And then of

00:43.040 --> 00:45.262
course the best part of the day was the

00:45.262 --> 00:47.151
Chinook flight . Um , that was an

00:47.151 --> 00:49.373
amazing experience . The Chinook flight

00:49.373 --> 00:51.596
was just absolutely phenomenal . We had

00:51.596 --> 00:53.818
to fly over my house , which was really

00:53.818 --> 00:53.529
cool on top of the stadiums and

00:53.529 --> 00:55.585
everything . I think a lot of people

00:55.585 --> 00:58.409
support the military as is , but , um ,

00:58.840 --> 01:00.951
to get to see what our National Guard

01:00.951 --> 01:03.200
members and reserve members do , um ,

01:03.400 --> 01:05.690
day in and day out is it's really eye

01:05.690 --> 01:08.319
opening , um , and it really gave me a

01:08.319 --> 01:10.690
new perspective of how . The highlight

01:10.690 --> 01:14.010
of my day was the Chinook ride and

01:14.010 --> 01:16.449
seeing the MQ-9 mission . That was

01:16.449 --> 01:18.393
incredible . I didn't know what to

01:18.393 --> 01:20.505
expect and what really goes into that

01:20.505 --> 01:22.449
program . The Major General made a

01:22.449 --> 01:24.338
great point too that the military

01:24.338 --> 01:26.449
personnel , their training is so much

01:26.449 --> 01:28.338
deeper than somebody just off the

01:28.338 --> 01:30.171
street . Responsibility , can do

01:30.171 --> 01:32.282
attitude , leadership skills that all

01:32.282 --> 01:34.616
benefits us as employers , but honestly ,

01:34.616 --> 01:36.727
and the other way around , it's a way

01:36.727 --> 01:38.893
to give thanks . I mean , the military

01:38.893 --> 01:41.005
staff are dedicating so much of their

01:41.005 --> 01:43.116
lives , putting their lives in a line

01:43.116 --> 01:45.282
literally for us . The least we can do

01:45.282 --> 01:47.393
is try to give them opportunities and

01:47.393 --> 01:49.560
help them develop . I would absolutely

01:49.560 --> 01:51.393
recommend this to other civilian

01:51.393 --> 01:53.171
employers just from a curiosity

01:53.171 --> 01:53.129
standpoint , it was really wonderful ,

01:53.379 --> 01:55.580
but also to actually get to learn and

01:55.580 --> 01:57.779
see what goes on and the things that

01:57.779 --> 02:01.180
they're doing to help protect us here

02:01.180 --> 02:03.260
in the country is really awesome . I

02:03.260 --> 02:04.419
hope to get to do it again .
