00:00:04,203 --> 00:00:06,830
- [Narrator] The Public Affairs
X6 Consolidation Workshop

3
00:00:06,830 --> 00:00:09,250
was hosted at McGhee Tyson
International Guard Base

4
00:00:09,250 --> 00:00:13,460
in Tennessee February 3rd
through the 14th of 2020.

5
00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:16,170
During this course, airmen
received hands-on training

6
00:00:16,170 --> 00:00:18,470
in broadcasting or photojournalism

7
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:20,880
to teach them camera basics, production,

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,740
writing, editing, and archiving.

9
00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:25,610
- So this workshop was created

10
00:00:25,610 --> 00:00:28,000
in order to help Guard and Reserve members

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,180
complete the module training

12
00:00:29,180 --> 00:00:30,910
that leads them up to the capstone.

13
00:00:30,910 --> 00:00:32,780
We are well aware that one weekend a month

14
00:00:32,780 --> 00:00:35,210
is not enough time to do these modules

15
00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:37,760
and that's why we developed this course.

16
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,820
So the goal here is to
move you from module one

17
00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:42,020
to module 13 within a week's time.

18
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:44,230
That's more than a
year's worth of training

19
00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:45,960
all pushed into a week.

20
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,650
The benefits here are staggering.

21
00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:48,970
The cost is low.

22
00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:50,740
The trainers are ready to train you.

23
00:00:50,740 --> 00:00:53,030
They want to be here,
they volunteer to be here,

24
00:00:53,030 --> 00:00:54,070
and they're excited to be here

25
00:00:54,070 --> 00:00:56,490
to help you get through these modules.

26
00:00:56,490 --> 00:00:59,630
- This course helped me
accomplish my training

27
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:05,400
by exposing me to all of
the modules that I needed

28
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,140
in order to get signed on

29
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:09,410
as far as consolidation is concerned.

30
00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:14,030
And everything I have learned
I've learned in an environment

31
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:17,872
where was it was positive and helpful

32
00:01:17,872 --> 00:01:21,890
and definitely applicable
to my career field.

33
00:01:21,890 --> 00:01:24,360
- If we want to be taken
seriously as a career field,

34
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,460
we have to take ourselves seriously first.

35
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:29,080
And that all starts with
completing this consolidation.

36
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,270
This training is going
to give you what you need

37
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:32,940
in order to accomplish the job,

38
00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:34,340
no matter what comes at you.

39
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:36,810
It's going to make you
more flexible, smarter,

40
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:40,040
and able to handle anything
that comes your way.

41
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,050
- [Narrator] If you are having problems

42
00:01:41,050 --> 00:01:42,410
completing your modules

43
00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:45,230
and want hands on training
with an instructor,

44
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:46,800
there's another workshop here

45
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,780
March 9th through the 13th of 2020.

46
00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:53,595
Talk to your supervisor and
career field manager to sign up.

47
00:01:53,595 --> 00:01:57,528

00:01:57,528 --> 00:01:59,881
