1
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:04,960
I think that being an Airman 

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,640
in the world's greatest Air Force , 

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,200
it's definitely one of the 

4
00:00:10,210 --> 00:00:13,560
most unique opportunities 

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,000
and there's , there's nothing else like 

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,460
it . I'm just proud . 

7
00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:24,400
I came up with the Air Force's 75th 

8
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:27,630
anniversary theme , which is innovate , 

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,260
accelerate , thrive . The Air Force's 

10
00:00:30,260 --> 00:00:33,930
75 When you look at the air force for 

11
00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:37,550
the past 75 years and where we are as a 

12
00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:40,470
service , everyone that is in the Air 

13
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:43,230
Force and that will join the Air Force 

14
00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:46,580
in the future has to be willing to be 

15
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:49,500
innovative . They have to be willing to 

16
00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:52,480
accelerate through the change and 

17
00:00:52,490 --> 00:00:56,330
thrive in the conditions that we 

18
00:00:56,330 --> 00:00:59,460
have . I think to me , the word 

19
00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:01,660
accelerate . It means that we never 

20
00:01:01,660 --> 00:01:05,200
want to let off the gas . We 

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,320
constantly want to be moving in the 

22
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,690
direction of change and we can't let 

23
00:01:11,690 --> 00:01:15,370
up along the 

24
00:01:15,370 --> 00:01:17,870
way as you're accelerating . We need 

25
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:20,460
innovation and we need to develop new 

26
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:22,680
processes , new ways of doing things 

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,460
better . And in the midst of it all , 

28
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:26,460
we have to thrive
