1
00:00:00,556 --> 00:00:03,750
(bright, steady music)

2
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:07,120
- Morning, my name is Jeff Telling.

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,160
I'm the air field manager
here at Kaneohe Bay.

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,690
My job is to plan, to coordinate,

5
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:17,260
and to execute

6
00:00:17,260 --> 00:00:21,260
all the different aviation
groups here's missions

7
00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:24,110
when it comes to air field availability

8
00:00:24,110 --> 00:00:27,260
and trying to plan those

9
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:29,670
with decreased impact

10
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:32,050
to our neighbors.

11
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:36,750
I really enjoy the different
folks that we get to work with.

12
00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:39,030
The Marines that come through,

13
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:41,830
each and every one's a little different,

14
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:44,963
like my Master Sergeant and
my Gunnies that work for me,

15
00:00:46,550 --> 00:00:49,500
and they always bring
something special with 'em.

16
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:54,500
They always have something
that they learned along the way

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,840
that maybe we hadn't
thought about or looked at,

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,750
and we get a different
perspective so that I guess, just,

19
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:06,370
renewed energy every two to three years

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,850
really helps promote our programs here.

21
00:01:10,780 --> 00:01:13,210
What I find about Hawaii is

22
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:15,720
very different than the mainland.

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,763
I find the people to be very genuine.

24
00:01:22,350 --> 00:01:24,950
That's what I tell folks
around here all the time,

25
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:28,360
and I kinda stole it, so
it's not an original thought,

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,600
but it's "Mission first, people always."

27
00:01:33,690 --> 00:01:36,660
I push that constantly.

28
00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:39,370
There's a mission that
has to be done here,

29
00:01:39,370 --> 00:01:42,388
and we take care of that,
but we also have people

30
00:01:42,388 --> 00:01:44,620
that we have to take care of, as well.

31
00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:47,013
It's important to do both.

32
00:01:48,117 --> 00:01:51,013
"Mission first, people
always," that's who we are.
