00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,551
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen , 

2
00:00:05,551 --> 00:00:07,773
welcome to the grand opening and ribbon 

3
00:00:07,773 --> 00:00:09,773
cutting ceremony for the Robins Air 

4
00:00:09,773 --> 00:00:11,773
Force Base Intelligence . So we are 

5
00:00:11,773 --> 00:00:13,884
here today to see uh an exciting idea 

6
00:00:13,884 --> 00:00:17,770
manifests into pilot implementation 

7
00:00:17,770 --> 00:00:19,992
over here at Robins Air Force Base , an 

8
00:00:19,992 --> 00:00:21,659
idea that came out of a young 

9
00:00:21,659 --> 00:00:23,603
chairman's mind that had come to a 

10
00:00:23,603 --> 00:00:26,930
conception and fruition . So it takes a 

11
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:29,700
lot of work behind the scenes and to 

12
00:00:29,710 --> 00:00:33,430
echo General Brown's sentiments on 

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,580
creative minds and supportive 

14
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:38,130
organization . That's what it took from 

15
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:40,307
providing the funding at the I M . S . 

16
00:00:40,307 --> 00:00:43,300
C level to getting the teams together , 

17
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:46,510
assembling a team of key stakeholders . 

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,070
I senior airman ricardo Morales pitch 

19
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:51,792
the innovative idea of placing 

20
00:00:51,792 --> 00:00:53,737
intelligent lockers at the dorms , 

21
00:00:53,737 --> 00:00:55,681
which would accelerate delivery of 

22
00:00:55,681 --> 00:00:57,903
packages by 2 to 5 days , bypassing the 

23
00:00:57,903 --> 00:01:00,014
traditional post office procedures at 

24
00:01:00,014 --> 00:01:02,237
the third annual Air Force installation 

25
00:01:02,237 --> 00:01:05,130
and Mission Support Center rodeo as the 

26
00:01:05,130 --> 00:01:07,570
number one winner of the 2021 af I . 

27
00:01:07,570 --> 00:01:10,590
MSC Innovation rodeo . Robins Air Force 

28
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:14,490
Base was awarded $270,000 for the 

29
00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:16,490
installation and maintenance of the 

30
00:01:16,490 --> 00:01:18,546
intelligent lockers . I came up with 

31
00:01:18,546 --> 00:01:20,750
the idea because the airmen all 

32
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:22,806
experiencing the same problem at all 

33
00:01:22,806 --> 00:01:25,028
the bases and that's getting their mail 

34
00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:27,830
and a very manual process and it really 

35
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:30,108
adds to the time of getting their mail . 

36
00:01:30,108 --> 00:01:33,360
The just the thought of all the hard 

37
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,304
work and all the blood , sweat and 

38
00:01:35,304 --> 00:01:37,304
tears all the long nights that went 

39
00:01:37,304 --> 00:01:39,471
into this idea . Um , it's really here 

40
00:01:39,471 --> 00:01:41,249
in person right now . So it's a 

41
00:01:41,249 --> 00:01:43,360
testament to , you know what , what's 

42
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,510
possible in the air force .
