WEBVTT 00:01.250 --> 00:03.380 Oh , I'm Chief Akande , the senior 00:03.730 --> 00:06.630 advisor for DC MA . So before I came 00:06.639 --> 00:08.829 here to DC MA , I really didn't know 00:08.840 --> 00:11.520 what DC MA was all about . But I 00:11.529 --> 00:13.659 remember my times uh being in the 00:13.670 --> 00:16.299 military almost 27 years now and 00:16.309 --> 00:18.365 remember my first three years in the 00:18.365 --> 00:20.379 military , all the products as an 00:20.389 --> 00:22.333 aircraft maintainer , dealing with 00:22.333 --> 00:24.500 aircraft , dealing with products . And 00:24.500 --> 00:27.030 I remembered how we always , you know , 00:27.040 --> 00:30.069 work hard and how we fix the aircraft 00:30.079 --> 00:31.968 and sometimes , you know , we get 00:31.968 --> 00:34.630 deficient products . And now circle 00:34.639 --> 00:36.583 back some few years later now as a 00:36.583 --> 00:39.709 member of the DC MA DC MA employee 00:39.720 --> 00:43.060 agency , I now notice how important DC 00:43.069 --> 00:46.459 MA is because I can see all the aspects 00:46.470 --> 00:48.303 of what the C MA does , which is 00:48.303 --> 00:50.470 quality products and ensuring that the 00:50.470 --> 00:52.581 war fighters , which is us when I was 00:52.581 --> 00:54.581 on the field that would get quality 00:54.581 --> 00:56.779 products to sustain the mission . And 00:56.830 --> 00:59.052 I'm very grateful to have the employees 00:59.052 --> 01:01.219 here in DC MA . And what DC MA does as 01:01.219 --> 01:03.441 a mission for the war fighters . And my 01:03.444 --> 01:05.500 previous experience , which was back 01:05.500 --> 01:07.055 about four years ago on the 01:07.055 --> 01:09.135 understanding , loading the bombs on 01:09.144 --> 01:11.665 the aircraft , uh doing the strategic 01:11.675 --> 01:13.885 missions over there in the Middle East 01:13.894 --> 01:16.514 and how successful it was . I commend 01:16.525 --> 01:18.692 that to all what DC MA has to do as an 01:18.692 --> 01:21.125 agency and I appreciate what you all do 01:21.135 --> 01:22.404 to support the world fighters .
