Show TIMES 3 HILLTOP TIMES GENERAL continued from page 1 A) I think the wing structure is functioning very well and perhaps not for reasons one would expect. I think our people like being in wings, groups and squadrons particularly our AF civilians. They like the comradeship and esprit-de-corps of being in a military organization and I think that shows in their work: It has also reduced the span of control and consolidated like functions. We are now able to standardize across like functions, that makes us more efficient and that will benefit our warfighting customer. Q) )'ou have often commented about the outstanding support the surrounding communities have provided to the men and women of Team Hill. Whv is this a good relationship? A) Utah tends to be a very patriotic part of our country and because of that, the people in our neighborhoods tend to understand the sacrifices we make and the contributions we bring to this nation. Because they understand the commitment we make on their behalf, they tend to welcome us into their communities with open arms. We also maintain good relationships because our people bring a lot to the local community. Our people not only bring diversity but they volunteer as scout leaders, coaches, tutors and in many June 14, 2007 other ways, contribute to the communities in which they live. In short, we bring quality people to the community, who enhance the neighborhoods in which they live. Q) The Air Force is celebrating its 60 year history in 2007. Team Hill organizations help Airmen around the world push the limits of technology every dav. What is vour vision for Hill AFB in the next five to ten years to continue to excel in supporting our Nation? A) In the next couple of years, I'd like to see Hill AFB to continue to embrace LEAN techniques that are more efficient, effective and provide better service for the warfighters we support. I would like to see more public/ private partnerships because that is the way of the future for air logistic centers. I would also like to see newer airframes and newer technologies like that of the F-22 and ultimately the F-35. I would like to continue to be good community partners as well because that's important for all of us. Closing Remarks: I would like to thank the men and women of Team Hill for their great work and for all they've done to make this a rewarding assignment for my wife and me. I encourage all of our people to give the same support to Brigadier Gen. Kathie Close and her husband, Mike, who will be great Team Hill leaders. •to bv Isl Q.i'?z Clay Murray Good times and fast cars The 309th Maintenance Wing held a car show Friday at Centennial Park.
