1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,830
- This is an exciting day
for the 325th Fighter Wing,

2
00:00:03,830 --> 00:00:06,754
as we say farewell to
Colonel Brian Swinger Laidlaw

3
00:00:06,754 --> 00:00:08,478
and his wife Samantha,

4
00:00:08,478 --> 00:00:10,330
and their children, Brandon and Taylor,

5
00:00:10,330 --> 00:00:14,100
and welcome the new commander
of 325th Fighter Wing

6
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:17,145
from Greg Chump Mosley
and his wife, Heather

7
00:00:17,145 --> 00:00:20,080
and their daughters,
Hunter, Kate and Maris.

8
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:23,020
- We've proven over and over again,

9
00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:27,940
that we don't make excuses,
we just find a way to win.

10
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:31,250
That is our job. It's our
war fighting mentality,

11
00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:32,400
it's our state of mind.

12
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:35,410
In your time, you will literally watch

13
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:37,354
the rebirth of an air force base.

14
00:00:37,354 --> 00:00:39,230
That doesn't happen to stateside

15
00:00:39,230 --> 00:00:41,540
in this new generation affair.

16
00:00:41,540 --> 00:00:43,590
Missions will change and evolve,

17
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:45,390
there will be great excitement

18
00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:47,130
and likely many opportunities

19
00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:49,850
for creative solutions along the way.

20
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:52,240
It's safe to say that no
wing commander in our time

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,593
at least has more potential
to do this than you

22
00:00:56,730 --> 00:01:01,210
Trump, Heather, welcome
back to Tindal my friends.

23
00:01:01,210 --> 00:01:04,270
I can think of no team
more fit to lead this base

24
00:01:04,270 --> 00:01:06,072
in what's next chapter only two of you.

25
00:01:06,072 --> 00:01:07,189
(applause)

26
00:01:07,189 --> 00:01:08,867
- So thank you for the opportunity.

27
00:01:08,867 --> 00:01:11,730
We know we have huge, huge shoes to fill,

28
00:01:11,730 --> 00:01:14,540
and we look forward to the challenge.

29
00:01:14,540 --> 00:01:16,590
Swinger, you set the example here.

30
00:01:16,590 --> 00:01:19,230
You set the example that
is absolutely the modal,

31
00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:22,150
he resolved and your vision
have been absolutely essential

32
00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:24,847
in navigating an extremely
complex situations.

33
00:01:24,847 --> 00:01:28,105
To the airmen of the 325th
in the coming days and weeks.

34
00:01:28,105 --> 00:01:30,450
I look forward to discussing
with you the goals,

35
00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:32,910
priorities, and strategic
vision for Tindal.

36
00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:35,940
This is an exciting and
challenging time for us all.

37
00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:38,830
And only together who we meet
the challenges to overcome

38
00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:41,253
the hurdles that we surely face ahead.
