^- The mission of our school is we take Marines out

72
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:14,449
^of the basic school, student naval aviators,

73
00:04:14,449 --> 00:04:17,352
and we train them in the basics of primary flight.

74
00:04:17,352 --> 00:04:21,185
It starts from as simple as systems, avionics.

75
00:04:22,010 --> 00:04:23,994
We teach them basic things about weather.

76
00:04:23,994 --> 00:04:25,345
From there, we'll put them in the aircraft

77
00:04:25,345 --> 00:04:27,221
and its rudimentary basics.

78
00:04:27,221 --> 00:04:29,354
How to maintain altitude, airspeed, heading.

79
00:04:29,354 --> 00:04:31,231
Then we get more and more advanced as we go,

80
00:04:31,231 --> 00:04:34,552
so i.e. instrument flight, formation flying.

81
00:04:34,552 --> 00:04:38,635
Then from here, they select one of four pipelines

82
00:04:39,133 --> 00:04:41,667
to go onto the advanced phase of flight training.

83
00:04:41,667 --> 00:04:44,246
So innovative methods that we use to train the pilots.

84
00:04:44,246 --> 00:04:46,447
It's a combination of both computer-based training,

85
00:04:46,447 --> 00:04:50,523
simulator training, hands-on training in the aircraft.

86
00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:53,196
A lot of time spent in the books,

87
00:04:53,196 --> 00:04:55,464
learning about aircraft systems, emergency procedures,

88
00:04:55,464 --> 00:04:57,297
things of that nature.

89
00:04:57,922 --> 00:05:00,649
The Marine Corps has pilots for the simple fact

90
00:05:00,649 --> 00:05:03,416
of the Marine Air Ground Task Force.

91
00:05:03,416 --> 00:05:04,982
We are a combined unit.

92
00:05:04,982 --> 00:05:07,603
We train together, we deploy together.

93
00:05:07,603 --> 00:05:10,085
In fact, my infantry brethren, I've gone

94
00:05:10,085 --> 00:05:11,827
to the basic school with a lot of those guys.

95
00:05:11,827 --> 00:05:14,514
You develop relationships early on in the training.

96
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:17,646
We speak a common language, we understand each other.

97
00:05:17,646 --> 00:05:20,130
There's definitely something to when you hear a voice

98
00:05:20,130 --> 00:05:21,818
on a radio and you recognize it, and it's like,

99
00:05:21,818 --> 00:05:23,222
"Hey that was my roommate at the basics school.

100
00:05:23,222 --> 00:05:25,071
"I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get this guy

101
00:05:25,071 --> 00:05:27,404
"whatever support possible."

102
00:05:27,974 --> 00:05:29,723
^- Mission of our school is to train

103
00:05:29,723 --> 00:05:32,518
^the best helicopter pilots to go forth

104
00:05:32,518 --> 00:05:35,704
into the fleet and become combat aviators.

105
00:05:35,704 --> 00:05:38,998
The importance of this school is kind of multifaceted.

106
00:05:38,998 --> 00:05:42,602
We are the only naval helicopter training facility

107
00:05:42,602 --> 00:05:43,852
in the country.

108
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,727
We build the bedrock, the foundation of all the skills,

109
00:05:49,893 --> 00:05:53,795
officership, and responsibility in our new aviators

110
00:05:53,795 --> 00:05:56,873
before they go forth and become fleet helicopter pilots.

111
00:05:56,873 --> 00:05:59,316
Marines check in with us following graduation

112
00:05:59,316 --> 00:06:01,018
from primary flight training.

113
00:06:01,018 --> 00:06:03,124
They come to us, they go through several weeks

114
00:06:03,124 --> 00:06:05,624
of rigorous academic training.

115
00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:08,470
We get them into procedural simulators,

116
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:09,833
and then we take them out and we start flying them

117
00:06:09,833 --> 00:06:10,954
in the aircraft.

118
00:06:10,954 --> 00:06:12,628
Coming out of our school, they go

119
00:06:12,628 --> 00:06:14,424
to the fleet replacement squadrons

120
00:06:14,424 --> 00:06:16,367
to learn their specific platform

121
00:06:16,367 --> 00:06:20,534
and become basic qualified combat helicopter pilots.

122
00:06:20,647 --> 00:06:24,814
In Marine aviation, all of our platforms are ground-centric.

123
00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:27,668
We've got a saying in the skid community.

124
00:06:27,668 --> 00:06:28,977
It's all about line aid.

125
00:06:28,977 --> 00:06:29,949
It's all about the friendlies.

126
00:06:29,949 --> 00:06:31,542
It's all about the people on deck.

127
00:06:31,542 --> 00:06:35,709
That's what we do, we support the Marines on the ground.

128
00:06:35,930 --> 00:06:38,907
^- Our mission here at Corry Station is to train all services

129
00:06:38,907 --> 00:06:40,754
on the various aspects on intelligence

130
00:06:40,754 --> 00:06:43,415
to include cyber and signals intelligence.

131
00:06:43,415 --> 00:06:45,912
Without this training, our infrastructure

132
00:06:45,912 --> 00:06:50,079
and defenses will be very vulnerable to outside attacks.

133
00:06:50,826 --> 00:06:53,567
The Marines could support other Marines

134
00:06:53,567 --> 00:06:54,620
that are forward deployed.

135
00:06:54,620 --> 00:06:57,036
They information they provide helps save lives

136
00:06:57,036 --> 00:06:59,467
and help the commander achieve their mission.

137
00:06:59,467 --> 00:07:00,886
Of the three schools we teach here,

138
00:07:00,886 --> 00:07:03,127
the only MOS that you can receive is completing

139
00:07:03,127 --> 00:07:07,044
the Joint Cyber Analysis Course, which is 2611.

140
00:07:07,054 --> 00:07:09,687
The return on investment the Marines have throughout

141
00:07:09,687 --> 00:07:12,981
the Marine Corps is bringing knowledgeable expertise

142
00:07:12,981 --> 00:07:17,148
in regards to signals intelligence and cyber intelligence.

143
00:07:17,544 --> 00:07:19,383
^- The mission in my school is to train

144
00:07:19,383 --> 00:07:22,716
^the Basic 1812 Marine Corps crewmembers.

145
00:07:23,892 --> 00:07:28,059
The MOS's trained here are 1812 M1A1 Tank Crewman,

2146 Main Battletank Repair Technician.

147
00:07:32,808 --> 00:07:34,306
Our graduates support the MAGTF

148
00:07:34,306 --> 00:07:38,473
by giving the Marine Corps basically the shock effect,

149
00:07:38,977 --> 00:07:42,109
Marine armored support, and also our main mission is

150
00:07:42,109 --> 00:07:44,942
basically to support the infantry.

151
00:07:45,052 --> 00:07:47,604
The innovative methods that we train at this school:

152
00:07:47,604 --> 00:07:48,994
We have classroom work.

153
00:07:48,994 --> 00:07:53,161
We also have hands-on with the tank almost everyday.

154
00:07:54,516 --> 00:07:56,947
We take them to field, they get to actually operate,

155
00:07:56,947 --> 00:07:59,444
drive, and the end of the course they get

156
00:07:59,444 --> 00:08:01,944
to actually fire the main gun.

157
00:08:02,643 --> 00:08:06,221
^- Points of our school is to train entry-level personnel

158
00:08:06,221 --> 00:08:08,570
in explosive ordinance disposal.

159
00:08:08,570 --> 00:08:11,176
We also do career progression training for individuals

160
00:08:11,176 --> 00:08:13,843
who are already EOD technicians,

161
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,494
as well as training allied foreign military

162
00:08:17,494 --> 00:08:21,301
and other government agencies, other federal agencies.

163
00:08:21,301 --> 00:08:24,183
Specifically for the Marines Corps, it's a 23-36 MOS,

164
00:08:24,183 --> 00:08:27,504
or the explosive ordinance disposal technician.

165
00:08:27,504 --> 00:08:29,395
Our commute is extremely important

166
00:08:29,395 --> 00:08:30,596
to the Marine Corps mission.

167
00:08:30,596 --> 00:08:33,296
We provide the Marine Corps force multipliers,

168
00:08:33,296 --> 00:08:34,200
small unit leaders.

169
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,630
They're intelligent, they're self-driven.

170
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:39,330
We provide the Marine Corps the ability to operate

171
00:08:39,330 --> 00:08:41,166
with special operations forces,

172
00:08:41,166 --> 00:08:44,339
the ability to operate with other government agencies,

173
00:08:44,339 --> 00:08:46,891
the ability to find any explosive hazard

174
00:08:46,891 --> 00:08:50,819
and mitigate those hazards associated with that explosive

175
00:08:50,819 --> 00:08:54,087
to render them safe, to dispose of them.

176
00:08:54,087 --> 00:08:58,254
We give the Marine Corps, the Marine Air Ground Task Force,

177
00:08:58,596 --> 00:09:02,763
the ability to operate in any type of environment.
