00:00.119 --> 00:02.286
Worst case scenario , if you mess up ,

00:02.286 --> 00:04.397
it can lead to an aircraft mishap and

00:04.397 --> 00:06.800
or lives lost as well . I am Staff

00:06.800 --> 00:08.800
Sergeant Cameron Crink , and I am a

00:08.800 --> 00:10.522
tower watch supervisor here at

00:10.522 --> 00:12.356
Spengalen Air Base . Air traffic

00:12.356 --> 00:14.411
controllers here at Spenalen provide

00:14.411 --> 00:16.411
safety services to both our fighter

00:16.411 --> 00:18.189
wing and host nation aircraft ,

00:18.189 --> 00:20.411
allowing them to conduct the operations

00:20.411 --> 00:22.522
they need to do for both training and

00:22.522 --> 00:24.522
real world operations . Air traffic

00:24.522 --> 00:26.411
controllers here at Smal directly

00:26.411 --> 00:28.356
support the 50-second fighter wing

00:28.356 --> 00:30.578
mission by providing safety services to

00:30.578 --> 00:32.800
our F-16s and safe environment for them

00:32.800 --> 00:35.680
to operate their aircraft in . So air

00:35.680 --> 00:37.791
traffic control is not just the tower

00:37.791 --> 00:40.013
here it's Bengala we have of course the

00:40.013 --> 00:42.180
control tower , but this also includes

00:42.180 --> 00:44.180
the ground control radar , and they

00:44.180 --> 00:46.069
provide the en route services for

00:46.069 --> 00:48.124
aircraft coming to the tower and our

00:48.124 --> 00:50.779
airspace . My name is Tech Sergeant

00:50.779 --> 00:52.946
Malcolm Ford . I'm the assistant chief

00:52.946 --> 00:54.779
Controller at Svengallen Tower .

00:54.779 --> 00:56.946
Although we have 4 different positions

00:56.946 --> 00:59.001
that we can be working at one time ,

00:59.001 --> 01:01.223
we're all working together to make sure

01:01.223 --> 01:00.729
everyone's continuing to do the right

01:00.729 --> 01:02.896
thing to keep the pilots and ourselves

01:02.896 --> 01:05.769
safe at the same time . I'm proud to do

01:05.769 --> 01:08.050
this job because with the career filled

01:08.050 --> 01:10.730
with such high stakes we're almost a no

01:10.730 --> 01:13.970
fail mission so to be close to perfect

01:13.970 --> 01:15.859
every single day without making a

01:15.859 --> 01:18.081
mistake it's really a lot of pride that

01:18.081 --> 01:17.569
you have to put into that .
