1
00:00:00,779 --> 00:00:03,001
Here at Air University , we like to say 

2
00:00:03,001 --> 00:00:04,890
we're the nation's only Air Power 

3
00:00:04,890 --> 00:00:07,112
school . We talk about what it means to 

4
00:00:07,112 --> 00:00:06,960
fight and win in the Air Domain because 

5
00:00:06,969 --> 00:00:10,020
no one else can think about the 

6
00:00:10,029 --> 00:00:11,807
difference between training and 

7
00:00:11,807 --> 00:00:13,973
education training helps me understand 

8
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:16,241
the checklist . I can , I can do XZ I 

9
00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:18,194
can do one day . And it's , it's a 

10
00:00:18,194 --> 00:00:20,417
known education really prepares you for 

11
00:00:20,417 --> 00:00:22,583
the unknown , being in a classroom and 

12
00:00:22,583 --> 00:00:24,694
being educated makes us to think more 

13
00:00:24,694 --> 00:00:27,319
critically about a particular topic , 

14
00:00:27,329 --> 00:00:29,385
which really helps us to make better 

15
00:00:29,385 --> 00:00:32,020
informed decisions . And also help us 

16
00:00:32,029 --> 00:00:34,196
to put those things that we learn into 

17
00:00:34,196 --> 00:00:38,080
practice leaders or learners and 

18
00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:40,312
the higher you progress in positions of 

19
00:00:40,312 --> 00:00:42,534
responsibility , you have to learn from 

20
00:00:42,534 --> 00:00:44,701
others because you can't just do trial 

21
00:00:44,701 --> 00:00:46,812
by fire or trial by error because the 

22
00:00:46,812 --> 00:00:48,979
costs are way too high . We gotta make 

23
00:00:48,979 --> 00:00:48,720
sure that we're committed to learning 

24
00:00:48,889 --> 00:00:51,056
and , and a lot of that I think starts 

25
00:00:51,056 --> 00:00:53,278
with the individual too versus just big 

26
00:00:53,278 --> 00:00:55,445
Air Force . So the institution telling 

27
00:00:55,445 --> 00:00:57,445
you you must know this education is 

28
00:00:57,445 --> 00:00:57,279
important to the foundation of 

29
00:00:57,290 --> 00:00:59,979
everything we do because it gets people 

30
00:00:59,990 --> 00:01:02,323
to be able to think and act differently . 

31
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:04,451
It allows them to understand guidance 

32
00:01:04,451 --> 00:01:06,562
and intent , how to carry out mission 

33
00:01:06,562 --> 00:01:08,284
type orders . And when they're 

34
00:01:08,284 --> 00:01:10,396
presented with challenges , they have 

35
00:01:10,396 --> 00:01:12,396
the educational background to think 

36
00:01:12,396 --> 00:01:14,284
through the problem and then find 

37
00:01:14,284 --> 00:01:16,396
creative solutions to win in whatever 

38
00:01:16,396 --> 00:01:16,120
it is that we're doing . I think the 

39
00:01:16,129 --> 00:01:18,319
habits of being a learner prepare you 

40
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:20,552
really as a war fighter in anything you 

41
00:01:20,552 --> 00:01:20,199
do .
