1 00:00:01,759 --> 00:00:04,059 Today , we continue the lineage of the 2 00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:06,380 Air Force Warrant Officer and I find it 3 00:00:06,389 --> 00:00:08,619 altogether fitting and proper that we 4 00:00:08,630 --> 00:00:12,630 do it here at Maxwell in 1947 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,909 we inherited the warrant officers from 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,590 the US Army Air Corps at that time , 7 00:00:17,729 --> 00:00:20,479 but we did not actually have a formal 8 00:00:20,489 --> 00:00:22,729 Warrant officer training school . All 9 00:00:22,739 --> 00:00:24,961 of these people came from their various 10 00:00:24,961 --> 00:00:27,017 warrant officer specialties and were 11 00:00:27,017 --> 00:00:29,128 just grandfathered into the Air Force 12 00:00:29,128 --> 00:00:31,128 structure . But then in the late 19 13 00:00:31,128 --> 00:00:33,128 fifties , we got rid of the warrant 14 00:00:33,128 --> 00:00:35,310 officers because we had what they felt 15 00:00:35,423 --> 00:00:37,423 was an overlapping responsibilities 16 00:00:37,423 --> 00:00:39,701 with our senior NC Os and our officers . 17 00:00:39,701 --> 00:00:42,583 An officer is leadership focused . So 18 00:00:42,632 --> 00:00:44,854 they are ultimately responsible for the 19 00:00:44,854 --> 00:00:46,965 entirety of their mission responsible 20 00:00:46,965 --> 00:00:48,965 for taking all the risk and leading 21 00:00:48,965 --> 00:00:51,188 their people and they are generalists . 22 00:00:51,188 --> 00:00:53,299 They have a generalized understanding 23 00:00:53,299 --> 00:00:53,222 of their unit in the mission set that 24 00:00:53,233 --> 00:00:55,011 they're part of . Then you have 25 00:00:55,011 --> 00:00:57,066 enlisted , they're more functionally 26 00:00:57,066 --> 00:00:59,233 focused and I like to think of them as 27 00:00:59,233 --> 00:01:01,455 like a Swiss army knife , put a list of 28 00:01:01,455 --> 00:01:03,622 member into a position or a job and we 29 00:01:03,625 --> 00:01:05,685 have to adapt and overcome and be 30 00:01:05,695 --> 00:01:07,695 symbiotic with that relationship of 31 00:01:07,695 --> 00:01:09,862 which we're , we're working with . But 32 00:01:09,862 --> 00:01:11,584 then the war officer , they're 33 00:01:11,584 --> 00:01:13,695 technically focused . So they are the 34 00:01:13,695 --> 00:01:15,751 subject matter expert in their craft 35 00:01:15,751 --> 00:01:15,636 and what's unique about them is that's 36 00:01:15,646 --> 00:01:17,646 their sole focus . They're going to 37 00:01:17,646 --> 00:01:19,706 have the best posturing to really 38 00:01:19,716 --> 00:01:21,772 advise their commanders to get after 39 00:01:21,772 --> 00:01:23,660 whatever they're part of for that 40 00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:25,883 vision . Our warrant officers are going 41 00:01:25,883 --> 00:01:28,049 to specialize in their career fields . 42 00:01:28,049 --> 00:01:30,049 And you can see that with the first 43 00:01:30,049 --> 00:01:32,216 career field that they have decided to 44 00:01:32,216 --> 00:01:34,383 utilize warrant officers . And that is 45 00:01:34,383 --> 00:01:36,605 in cyber , that is a very narrow set of 46 00:01:36,605 --> 00:01:39,250 specialized skills . So I think that 47 00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:41,371 really helps us distinguish ourselves 48 00:01:41,371 --> 00:01:43,538 from some of the other warrant officer 49 00:01:43,538 --> 00:01:46,879 ranks in our sister services . We are 50 00:01:46,985 --> 00:01:48,818 just developing warrant officers 51 00:01:48,818 --> 00:01:50,707 straight across the board and our 52 00:01:50,707 --> 00:01:53,044 curriculum was based upon the five 53 00:01:53,055 --> 00:01:55,425 warrant officer foundational principles , 54 00:01:55,434 --> 00:01:57,364 which is steeped into the airman 55 00:01:57,404 --> 00:02:00,044 foundational qualities coupled with 56 00:02:00,175 --> 00:02:02,904 outcomes based military education . And 57 00:02:02,915 --> 00:02:05,474 with that , we are able to extract free 58 00:02:05,485 --> 00:02:07,207 primary learning objectives of 59 00:02:07,207 --> 00:02:09,263 professional war fighter , technical 60 00:02:09,263 --> 00:02:11,374 integrator and credible advisor , our 61 00:02:11,374 --> 00:02:13,541 school house . It's in a session based 62 00:02:13,541 --> 00:02:15,763 program . And what's unique about us is 63 00:02:15,763 --> 00:02:17,929 that we have to prepare for the intent 64 00:02:17,929 --> 00:02:19,985 of bringing true street deceits into 65 00:02:19,985 --> 00:02:22,520 our program . So very similar to OTs 66 00:02:22,529 --> 00:02:24,309 but not OTs because we have an 67 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,598 indoctrination phase . 68 00:02:31,309 --> 00:02:33,420 The first thing that will come out of 69 00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:36,199 your mouth when you making sure that 70 00:02:36,210 --> 00:02:38,432 they're able to articulate what they're 71 00:02:38,432 --> 00:02:40,599 saying through communication , so they 72 00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:42,766 can advise their commanders being able 73 00:02:42,766 --> 00:02:44,988 to understand the attention to detail . 74 00:02:44,988 --> 00:02:44,970 So going back into basic military 75 00:02:44,979 --> 00:02:47,090 training , the attention to detail of 76 00:02:47,090 --> 00:02:49,201 rolling a sock and then clipping some 77 00:02:49,201 --> 00:02:51,423 strings . What's the importance of that 78 00:02:51,423 --> 00:02:53,479 next time ? With a sense of art , we 79 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:55,646 put them through these tests in a very 80 00:02:55,646 --> 00:02:57,757 safe training environment so they can 81 00:02:57,757 --> 00:02:59,979 learn the attention to detail before we 82 00:02:59,979 --> 00:03:02,146 send them out to be a maintainer on an 83 00:03:02,146 --> 00:03:04,368 aircraft . No different than what we're 84 00:03:04,368 --> 00:03:03,964 doing with a warrant officer at the war 85 00:03:03,975 --> 00:03:05,808 officer training school is we're 86 00:03:05,808 --> 00:03:07,697 bringing them back to that , that 87 00:03:07,697 --> 00:03:09,864 training environment to really instill 88 00:03:09,864 --> 00:03:12,031 the attention to detail . So when they 89 00:03:12,031 --> 00:03:13,975 come out and they're advising that 90 00:03:13,975 --> 00:03:15,975 commander , they've already thought 91 00:03:15,975 --> 00:03:18,197 about the nuances of what the commander 92 00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:18,054 is going to ask and what the 93 00:03:18,065 --> 00:03:20,176 commander's bosses , bosses , boss is 94 00:03:20,176 --> 00:03:22,232 going to ask . But aligning with the 95 00:03:22,232 --> 00:03:24,287 doctrinal and strategic principles , 96 00:03:25,279 --> 00:03:29,279 get it right each and every time . Will 97 00:03:29,289 --> 00:03:31,880 you do it ? Yes , sir , I didn't hear 98 00:03:31,889 --> 00:03:34,509 it . Will you do it ? Yes , sir . Good . 99 00:03:35,550 --> 00:03:39,000 Quickly . Get up . Need to command your 100 00:03:39,009 --> 00:03:40,620 plate louder . Do it again . 101 00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:45,979 51812 .
