00:01.200 --> 00:04.800
I'm a ranked CW4 Jeffrey Hebert , and

00:04.800 --> 00:06.800
I'm a pilot here at Pine Valley . A

00:06.800 --> 00:08.880
specialist Chase Hebert , and I am a

00:09.079 --> 00:11.135
mechanic crew chief at Pine Valley .

00:13.689 --> 00:17.509
Chases my son . This is my father .

00:19.690 --> 00:21.579
I'm filling in as the maintenance

00:21.579 --> 00:23.912
officer on this deployment with the LUH .

00:23.912 --> 00:26.079
First time I joined , I went to active

00:26.079 --> 00:28.134
duty from high school . Um , I did 3

00:28.134 --> 00:30.809
years in Germany . I became a pilot in

00:30.809 --> 00:32.976
the Army National Guard , and the rest

00:32.976 --> 00:35.309
of my career has been in the Army Guard .

00:35.750 --> 00:37.972
I've been in the army for 4 years . I'm

00:37.972 --> 00:40.380
an aircraft mechanic and currently a

00:40.380 --> 00:44.169
crew chief on the UH 72 Dakota . I

00:44.169 --> 00:46.391
didn't want to go into being a pilot as

00:46.391 --> 00:48.502
soon as I joined the army . I decided

00:48.502 --> 00:50.502
the best route would be to become a

00:50.502 --> 00:52.613
mechanic . Eventually , throughout my

00:52.613 --> 00:54.836
career , I got an offer to come on this

00:54.836 --> 00:57.058
deployment . I think it's great . I get

00:57.058 --> 00:59.225
to work on the aircraft that keeps him

00:59.225 --> 01:01.336
in the air , keeps him in the skies .

01:01.336 --> 01:03.447
I'm very proud of that . Him choosing

01:03.447 --> 01:05.558
aviation , I was really happy that he

01:05.558 --> 01:07.669
went that route . I feel like , hey ,

01:07.669 --> 01:09.558
he looked up to me a little bit ,

01:09.558 --> 01:11.558
trying to do the same thing I did ,

01:11.558 --> 01:13.891
he's doing really good at it , you know ,

01:13.891 --> 01:16.113
of course , I'm a little skewed because

01:16.113 --> 01:15.830
he's my son , but , you know , he's

01:15.830 --> 01:17.997
doing the right thing . He's already a

01:17.997 --> 01:19.941
crew chief , he applied for flight

01:19.941 --> 01:22.449
school . Aviation is the best route in

01:22.449 --> 01:25.809
the army as far as I'm concerned . I'm

01:25.809 --> 01:27.865
enjoying . It's good to see how he's

01:27.865 --> 01:30.019
progressing through his career . I'm

01:30.019 --> 01:32.130
sure he has added pressures cause his

01:32.130 --> 01:36.019
dad's here with him . Overall , I

01:36.019 --> 01:38.186
think it's a good experience to to see

01:38.186 --> 01:40.330
him actually go through his training

01:40.330 --> 01:43.239
and actually go apply his training . We

01:43.239 --> 01:45.239
get to fly together and actually do

01:45.239 --> 01:47.239
missions together . And it's , it's

01:47.239 --> 01:49.461
kind of nice , and for me it's a finish

01:49.461 --> 01:51.572
of my career . So , for me , it's the

01:51.572 --> 01:53.199
best way to do my last deployment .
