i went on from that squadron. we had probably 1,500 hours more than any of our contemporaries because the abundance of flying that we had in those days. and the only way you really get good in tactical aviation is to fly a lot. you have to love it. it isn't airline flying. it's combat flying. and you have to set your mind to it. that's my background. i went on from there. dr. larry knows we have had some time together. he knows a good bit of it. he wants to ask some questions and then to questions from the audience. >> as you can see, we have a stack here probably more than i need. we'll see how it goes. i do actually want to back up a little bit. is there anything in your background that led you to join the navy in the first place? is it something you always wanted to do? or was it something you just kind of -- >> you know, when that lieutenant sat me in the back of the airplane the first time, after four or five times -- you have to remember in those days, there weren't airliners. there wasn't anything fancy. it

consider howot many operational squadrons and cyber squadrons might be needed for the future. we focus more on aircraft inventory. the air force took a broader look at their future force. feasibility, i am happy to address the potential cause of the. -- of that. informs debates on ,ow resources are apportioned not just within the dod, but dod to build a future joint force. >> two points i would make. fairly significant shift in the strategy. a tremendous change from where we were with the new strategy. -- thisthe first time is a strategy driven analysis. not a resource constrained, what can you do in a certain budget line? they wanted to know what it took. we did that for the first time without being resource constrained. that was what was asked of us. fairly significant change. >> hi, i am steve from the aviation defense. we talked about building tomorrow's air force. you do not talk about the airmen. the human capital opportunity for improving the way we do business. a quick story, one of the other service secretaries mentioned he was struggling with why ed cost so much to m

he was given the worst job in the squadron for a long time. he was this guy that was taking offce around, cleaning soot of the airplanes, anything to be accepted as a pilot. beginnings. he crashed a bunch of planes. sometimes crashed very funny because this child among men never opened his mouth, didn't have an excellent results. it was becoming alarming. we can't allow this new fight to demolish the squadron planes. he is a real bundle of nerves. the most brutal but most disposed towards him. came to me and said you don't know me but if you did, you know i would love to do the things right. french paraphrasing. the guy on the right, big guy. picard conceded and said you can fly but if you don't fly in two weeks you will be washed out because your scratch -- crashing all the planes. so finally he put his mind to it and really mastered the craft. he became a master step pilot. he is talking about this notion of nerves. this is how i mastered my nerves. shote mastered the brush, 500 rounds at me. it was necessary. getting shot at on purpose. my

can you say how conclusions or determination's related to the air force of 386 squadrons and for the overall panel, if this is an attempt to replicate what the navy did in 2016-17 with force structure analysis, seems to report joining that for 382, that didn't work out so well for the navy even though it got picked up by a campaign it hasn't led to any firm plan to get to that. where do you think this is going to go? is there a feasible path beyond what we have today? >> regarding the relationship between the reuters report in the air force we need our effort, completely independent of that, that announcement came in the middle of when we were doing our study. we began with an end oh pacific type of challenge. we modeled it at varying levels of intensity going up to an intensity in excess of anything that would actually occur. the thing we do is see what requirements for aircraft, payload would fall out of that so we weren't focused as much on identifying the numbers of squadrons or those types of things so the net result is the force we recommend is approximately the same. there are

there is word that a british naval squadron is approaching north carolina and if the squadron could meet these 1500 loyalists, maybe they could subdue north carolina. well, on february 27, 1776, another battle is fought. this one is called the battle of wars creek bridge. february 27, 1776. this is moore's creek bridge. it is a little bridge over a deep, swampy stream called moore's creek and what the americans did is they took the planking off the bridge and creased them. the americans were on this side of the bridge with guns and there were 1500 loyalists on the other sides in kilts, with bagpipes and carrying broad swords. crying out king george, with broad swords, they try to walk across the runners of the bridges under fire. bad, that is an understatement. they got slaughtered. the americans lay the planking down, counterattack, and within a couple days about 40 of these people have been killed and 800 have been captured and north carolina is now secure for the patriot cause. virginia has been secured at great bridge. north carolina is secured at moore's creek bridge. okay, the patr

there were commanders that years after they left their squadron position were subjected to adverse action and letters of reprimand and promotion, withheld for the manner in which they dealt with the sexual assault atmosphere within squadrons. perhaps collateral relief was granted. this is not unknown within the air force. it definitely has an impact on the way commanders will be whether they should take the case forward. it is much easier to whether an acquittal is a commander in the scrutiny of not referring a case. >> the experiences spoken all day is different. i don't want to speak for the prosecutors. we seem to be trying to provide, a detailed analysis giving a convening authority the support that they might feel they need, if they decide to not refer a case. we still take cases to court and get lots of acquittals. we are just a little bit more successful. finding the authority to go to the prosecution. the full report invested. >> to follow up, and on article 120 cases, the frontline trumpet antlers you have been chiefs of justice. you have been asked to eighth go through article 3

whoever the commander of that squadron is he is going to be held accountable. and so will the air force and the secretary of the air force and mike esper has to explain why is this money going for the president's pocket. >> let's see if any will be. lloyd doing et, congressman doing et one other piece. from the politico story, the another thing from the panel the military cement $11 million the at the prevent wick airport the closest to trump turnberry since 2017 fuel cheaper if purchased at a u.s. military base. i'm old enough to remember when there was a scandal about the price of ma'amers and nails the pentagon was purchasing and toilet seats that were extra expensive because of who they were buying them from. this is now an additional spending of u.s. taxpayer dollars at a time we are told we don't have enough money to get tooth brushes for the people housed in military detention. is there going to be some accountability particularly if the military isn't talking in. >> there must be, joy. and you know,s in a remarkable with bit of reporting by politico. we

my dad was in that first group in the 99th fighter pursuit squadron that went overseas and fought inld war ii. david: when your father came back after world war ii, what did he do? john: well, he showed up at the university of chicago law school. he wanted to go to the best law school, and he thought the university of chicago was the best. at first, they did not accept him, because he had not taken all of the appropriate tests. and there were not many african-american students at the law school at the time. but he asked them if he could take a test. they allowed him to take the test. he showed up in his captain's uniform, and i think those two things together, showing what a patriot he was and how good he did, what a great result he had on the tests, he was able to talk his way into the law school. david: ok. and your mother? john: he met my mother the first day. david: she was the first female african american at the university of chicago law school? john: she was. she graduated in 1946 and my dad in 1948. david: ok, so he built a law practice, and she built a law practice? john: th

as the first woman to fly an aircraft engaged in combat and also the first woman to lead us a squadron in combat you know first-hand what is required of our airmen. i'm grateful for your confidence and your friendship. this committee profoundly understands the threats great power competition's present to our national interest as properly prioritized in the national defense strategy. china and russia continually challenge free and open international order, imposed their authoritarian model beyond their borders and attempt to undermine long-standing alliances. a recent independent bipartisan strategy commission appointed by congress concluded the air force will be at the forefront of any future conflicts. we cannot afford to lose our competitive edge. if confirmed i would work with congress and the administration to build upon our manpower resources to meet our national defense needs. the air force must not only retain its technical edge over potential adversaries that we -- but we must expand it. if confirmed continued i will continue investments in modernization and advanced capabiliti
