1
00:00:01,850 --> 00:00:02,770
- I smile a lot.

2
00:00:02,770 --> 00:00:06,210
I'm very approachable and I
like to have a really good time,

3
00:00:06,210 --> 00:00:08,940
but I do take my job very seriously.

4
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:11,090
My name is Master
Sergeant Teresa Lapcheske

5
00:00:11,090 --> 00:00:12,420
and I'm the new first sergeant here

6
00:00:12,420 --> 00:00:14,183
with the 413th Flight Test Group.

7
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,269
So I decided that I wanted
to become a first sergeant

8
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:21,940
and to do that I had to give up a stripe,

9
00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:23,510
which I did, that was okay.

10
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:25,000
I really wanted to have the opportunity

11
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,987
to learn how to develop the airmen

12
00:00:26,987 --> 00:00:30,046
and to mentor the enlisted members.

13
00:00:30,046 --> 00:00:34,100
I really wanna get to know
all the members of the 413th

14
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:36,780
including those that are out at the GSUs.

15
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:39,820
We're all one team and we
need to function as a team.

16
00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:42,040
I know that communication
can be very difficult

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,930
because we're so separated.

18
00:00:43,930 --> 00:00:47,470
So I tend to share as much
information as I possibly can

19
00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:49,683
to help us to work a
little closer together.

20
00:00:51,770 --> 00:00:54,410
This is a great new
challenge for my career

21
00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:56,663
and I'm excited to be a part of it.
