1
00:00:02,070 --> 00:00:06,310
- The PAS program is one component

2
00:00:06,310 --> 00:00:10,460
of SAF/IA's International
Affairs Strategist program,

3
00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:15,460
and the main ascension
route for PAS officers

4
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:17,970
is through air command at Staff College.

5
00:00:17,970 --> 00:00:20,380
- And sometime between when we leave here

6
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:24,020
and our 20 year point,
we'll give a assignment

7
00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:27,010
to the political affairs
strategist career field.

8
00:00:27,010 --> 00:00:30,760
There's opportunities
to work on joint staffs

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,110
in the PAS program, at
headquarters, NATCOMs.

10
00:00:34,110 --> 00:00:37,550
And it's really an opportunity
to expand your horizons

11
00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:41,460
and potentially influence
on a bigger scale

12
00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:42,900
than you would otherwise.

13
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:45,750
You get to fill a role that is working

14
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:48,160
with international officers

15
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,640
or you're providing a
perspective to leadership,

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,790
and you're pulling from what
you learned here at ACSC.

17
00:00:55,790 --> 00:00:57,010
- [Rebecca] There's not gonna be a time

18
00:00:57,010 --> 00:01:01,273
that we're not gonna be in
a coalition of some sort,

19
00:01:01,273 --> 00:01:06,030
or working with partner nations
to strengthen their defenses

20
00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:09,123
so, that we're strengthening
our security situation as well.
