1
00:00:01,170 --> 00:00:03,080
- Hi everybody, I'm Colonel Sean Tyler

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,940
Commander of the 633rd Air Base Wing

3
00:00:04,940 --> 00:00:06,740
here at Joint Base, Langley-Eustis.

4
00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:08,730
- And I'm Chief Mast Sargent Shane Wagner.

5
00:00:08,730 --> 00:00:10,210
We wanted to sit down with you today

6
00:00:10,210 --> 00:00:12,820
and give you an update
on the new base housing.

7
00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:15,370
- A month ago we asked our
Langley family housing residents

8
00:00:15,370 --> 00:00:18,080
to fill out surveys on housing conditions.

9
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:19,980
We heard your concerns, and we are taking

10
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:22,120
intentional steps towards improvement.

11
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,570
Which is what we'd like
to share with you today.

12
00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:26,480
As many of you know we began conducting

13
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,840
thorough inspections across base housing.

14
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,090
Gathering valuable
information on any issues

15
00:00:31,090 --> 00:00:33,310
that need to be repaired and resolved.

16
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:34,880
In addition to these inspections,

17
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,640
senior leaders from congress,

18
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,050
and Headquarters Air
Force visited Langley,

19
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:42,020
met with residents and
listened to your concerns.

20
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:44,430
That listening has paid
off, just this week

21
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:46,810
Hunt housing began a two
month project to update

22
00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:48,410
the mechanical infrastructure,

23
00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:50,730
and a portion of the
homes at Bethel Manor.

24
00:00:50,730 --> 00:00:52,790
We've also partnered with
Hunt Leadership to form the

25
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:55,120
Langley Family Housing
Partnering initiative.

26
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,730
An effort aimed at improving
communication between you,

27
00:00:57,730 --> 00:01:00,780
your leadership and Hunt moving forward.

28
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:02,200
- We've made a lot of progress

29
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,730
but there's still work to be done.

30
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,800
Our priority is you and your families

31
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,280
and there are things you
can do to help us, help you.

32
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,650
As this process continues,

33
00:01:09,650 --> 00:01:11,840
don't forget to use your chain of command.

34
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,230
Reach out to your First Sargent's,

35
00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:14,920
your Chiefs, reach out to me.

36
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,460
And make sure you're
continuing to fill out

37
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:18,010
the work orders as they are critical

38
00:01:18,010 --> 00:01:20,560
for housing partners
to address the issues.

39
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,040
- We'll continue working with Hunt,

40
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,280
and our mission partners
to get this right.

41
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,940
And we'll provide you with more updates

42
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:27,400
as they become available.

43
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,600
This is about taking care of our people.

44
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,110
And while there's still
progress that needs to be made,

45
00:01:32,110 --> 00:01:33,880
we will be with you every step of the way

46
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,823
to see it through.
