WEBVTT 00:00.359 --> 00:08.592 [music] 00:08.592 --> 00:09.627 Hi, I'm Stephen Hickok, 00:09.627 --> 00:11.924 and welcome to this month’s DCMA Roundup. 00:11.924 --> 00:13.775 A lot has happened in October, 00:13.775 --> 00:17.653 so here are a few highlights of stories featured on the DCMA homepage. 00:18.074 --> 00:20.080 How did 40-year-old drawings potentially prevent 00:20.080 --> 00:23.034 146 million dollars-worth of damage? 00:23.034 --> 00:25.406 James Vaughn, a quality assurance engineer out of 00:25.406 --> 00:28.563 DCMA Indianapolis, examined engineering and assembly 00:28.563 --> 00:32.297 drawings printed in 1973 for the M88 Hercules 00:32.297 --> 00:35.154 recovery vehicle. Vaughn's interpretation of the drawings 00:35.154 --> 00:37.561 prevented a potential incorrect installation of an 00:37.561 --> 00:39.534 oil pump housing in the vehicle. 00:39.534 --> 00:43.032 Drones have become critical tools depended on by our warfighters. 00:43.032 --> 00:45.651 DCMA Baltimore’s program support has helped make 00:45.651 --> 00:49.645 the drones' reliability a reality. The RQ7B 00:49.645 --> 00:52.792 Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System drone, known as the Shadow, 00:52.792 --> 00:56.033 just passed one million flight hours. A milestone achieved 00:56.033 --> 00:59.801 in part by the production and repair oversight by the Baltimore team. 00:59.801 --> 01:02.934 In leadership news, Army Colonel Anthony Wizner assumed command 01:02.934 --> 01:04.366 of DCMA Central Region. 01:04.366 --> 01:07.827 You probably also noticed that your boss was out of the office recently 01:07.827 --> 01:10.852 as the agency headquarters hosted the Commander’s Conference in 01:10.852 --> 01:12.975 Northern Virginia. Here’s what our director had to say 01:12.975 --> 01:14.230 about the conference. 01:14.230 --> 01:17.027 When your commanders and deputies come home, 01:17.027 --> 01:21.055 you make sure that they spend time with you updating you on the 01:21.055 --> 01:24.419 latest things going on at DCMA. They owe it to you. 01:24.419 --> 01:27.406 Hold them accountable for it. I’m going to hold them accountable 01:27.406 --> 01:28.518 the same way. 01:28.518 --> 01:31.045 For more photos and videos of the events, be sure to check out our 01:31.045 --> 01:34.704 Facebook page. October was a busy month for events and campaigns. 01:34.704 --> 01:37.505 We celebrated Red Ribbon week, Energy Action Month, 01:37.505 --> 01:39.993 National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and 01:39.993 --> 01:43.203 National Hispanic Heritage Month. And, the 2016 Combined 01:43.203 --> 01:45.787 Federal Campaign has officially kicked off. Check with your 01:45.787 --> 01:49.628 supervisor or office CFC coordinator to see how you can participate. 01:50.146 --> 01:52.572 Read these stories and more at dcma.mil 01:52.572 --> 01:54.442 and be sure to visit our Facebook page 01:54.442 --> 01:56.811 to learn more about what’s going on at DCMA. 01:56.811 --> 01:59.051 Thanks for watching.
