For 40 CAP cadets, the world looked different from the inside of a KC-135 Stratotanker. Witnessing a live aerial refueling wasn't just a highlight; it was a masterclass in skill and teamwork. These are the moments that build futures.

Thank you to the Team at Scott Air Force Base for making this a sucess.

Stacey, Chief and I had an amazing time engaging with our outstanding Airmen, civilians, and their families from the 62nd Airlift Wing and 627th Air Base Group at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. As always, deeply impressed by the dedication and professionalism I witnessed.

JBLM's strategic importance is undeniable. The 62d Airlift Wing's unique nuclear airlift mission and Operation DEEP FREEZE support highlights their critical role. The 627th Air Base Group, supporting a massive community across hundreds of thousands of acres, provides crucial support to our team.

Thank you to the entire JBLM team for your continued excellence and dedication.

Last week I had a great time visiting the 375th Air Mobility Wing at Scott Air Force Base. From learning about their critical role in global air mobility, to meeting the dedicated airmen and women who make it all happen, I'm truly impressed.

Chief, Stacey and I had an opportunity to witness firsthand the unwavering commitment to providing global mobility operations anytime, anywhere.

Big thanks to the team at Scott AFB for hosting me and my team, and providing such valuable insights.
