1
00:00:00,311 --> 00:00:03,061
(dramatic music)

2
00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:10,480
- [Narrator] Where is home?

3
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:13,240
Where is home, airman?

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,023
When you move every three years.

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,330
We call this a permanent change of station

6
00:00:18,330 --> 00:00:21,460
even though you already
know this isn't permanent.

7
00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:24,503
But your time here will
forever be a part of you.

8
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,200
You may look back at these months or years

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,810
as the defining moments,

10
00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:31,640
not just of your service,

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,603
but of your life.

12
00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:36,250
Every airman who's worn the uniform,

13
00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:38,670
every civilian who's taken that oath

14
00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:41,283
knows that each assignment
is what you make of it.

15
00:00:42,290 --> 00:00:44,740
You will change this space.

16
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:47,370
In small ways or large,
you will leave your mark

17
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:49,600
for generations to come.

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,430
It's our hope that the
legacy you helped to grow

19
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:56,190
will be as meaningful as the
experiences you take with you.

20
00:00:56,190 --> 00:00:58,100
Whether this is your first base

21
00:00:58,100 --> 00:00:59,830
or it feels like your 50th,

22
00:00:59,830 --> 00:01:01,203
this is new.

23
00:01:02,110 --> 00:01:04,200
It's been said that the
Air Force is your home

24
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,690
no matter where you go.

25
00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:07,970
But it's more like finding family,

26
00:01:07,970 --> 00:01:10,440
enjoying a world class team.

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,720
We are accepting, but you
need to prove yourself.

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,760
We are supportive, but you
need to pull your weight.

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,950
Will you fit in?

30
00:01:17,950 --> 00:01:19,570
Will you measure up?

31
00:01:19,570 --> 00:01:22,540
Everyone here from your
sponsor to your commander,

32
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:24,470
wants to see you succeed.

33
00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:26,030
You will stumble along the way,

34
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:27,620
but you are surrounded by others

35
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:29,520
who have been right where you are.

36
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,810
You will not be carried

37
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:33,130
but we are here to lift you up.

38
00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:34,023
This is family.

39
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,410
Excellence is not perfection

40
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:39,340
but it is our standard,

41
00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:41,553
whether you're active duty or civilian.

42
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:44,750
And if you're knee-deep in CDCs

43
00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:48,031
or figuring out the whys and
why nots of government service,

44
00:01:48,031 --> 00:01:50,620
or getting your kids used to a new school.

45
00:01:50,620 --> 00:01:52,783
Again, we've all been there.

46
00:01:53,933 --> 00:01:56,680
Asking for guidance is
not a sign of weakness.

47
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,680
It's a sign of devotion to mission

48
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,640
and we will fulfill our mission together.

49
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,680
When you work with nuclear-capable assets

50
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,500
like the Stratofortress and Minuteman III,

51
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:09,930
it's impossible not to feel
the weight of the world.

52
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:14,040
We are part of an elite team
serving on the edge of history.

53
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,660
And on such a global stage,

54
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:18,160
you might start to see yourself as small.

55
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,100
You are no small thing.

56
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:23,620
You are part of something
much bigger than all of us.

57
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:26,070
It may feel like you're
in the middle of nowhere

58
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:27,170
but you are not alone.

59
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,100
You are part of our family now.

60
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:33,143
Never forget that only
the best come North.

61
00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:38,433
Welcome to Team Minot.

62
00:02:38,433 --> 00:02:40,150
(dramatic music)

63
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:41,053
Aim high, airman.
