I know that whatever i say, it is not going to change your mi mind. But ive been serving San Francisco for the last more than 10 years. Ive been taking people to hospitals, ive been taking people to, you know, your family, your family members, to whatever they want to go. Proudly serving the San Francisco for more than 10 years. But in return, what ive been waiting the waiting list more than eight years. In return what i got is nothing. We offer mta more than the company what the company offered. I dont know why why mta doesnt want to take the offer. I mean why is mta really against cab drivers who is always serving every day the san franciscans. I mean the voters have to finally decide this. Chairman nolan thank you. David pilpel. David pilpel. Regarding the 37 line, there is a complicated history on that. I would encourage you to ask the director ris kin to put that in a memo to the board explaining whats happened and what is proposed to change there. Ive commented before on the new
World. The results are true, that the training and the spirit of our sailors was superb. And we had absolutely firstclass leadership in the navy. You will hear later today from admiral gary some examples of just how impressive that leadership is. The operational readiness of the fleet was a result, first of all, of having bases all around the world. But secondly because the Strong Program of exercise we conducted. The exercises were not only conducted on military scenarios, but we had an extensive set of exercises involved in humanitarian response. During the time i was secretary, we had a Disaster Response very similar to the one theyre doing here in San Francisco today. We bought naval forces from the United States, from russia and japan all to honolulu where we had simulated a tsunami disaster. And these three great nations brought their fleets to honolulu exercising how to respond and alleviate that disaster. Well, that was then. How about now . Last year the United States released
And captain napalitano good morning, everyone, im pleased to be here today to tell you about an exercise we conducted this past summer in hawaii as part of rim of pacific exercise which involved 22 participating nations and this offered us a venue to be able to conduct a humanitarian and Disaster Relief exercise with all the different partners that we had together and collaborating with this exercise, this offered a perfect opportunity for us to introduce the military capabilities and interaction in exchange with our Civil Military partners as well. The exercise was located on oh oahu we had used that island as a fictitious island of chianti where we wanted to do a humanitarian response but it also provided us an avenue for the statewide partners, the civil hawaiian partners, to be able to exercise their exercise as well. This exercise also allowed us the opportunity to intro daus a lot of technology to help with the interoperatability of the Civil Military exercise. One of the main go
Perspective, incredibly frustrating to understand where they are going and what they need to be doing and what is right and what is wrong. So in closing if someone were to ask me from 2010 to where were at now, is there hope i would say, yes, there is. As we stand down our combat forces and shift to an advisory and a training role i think were going to be able to take our lessons lerbed learned and ensure that we can continue to build on what weve done. There were some Great Success stories. One of the things we worked on a lot was trying to bring women into the policing, something that was unheard of only a few years ago. Nina talked about the teachers but there was women who wanted to be Police Officers, there was women who had Death Threats against them from their own families and were actually serving as Police Officers in hiding because they wanted to do something that was important. So that was, to me that was a huge success story. But i think what we need to do is reset our vett
Response here. This is our urban search and rescue event that was part of the overall exercise. We had a lot of different partners that responded to this rubble pile. We had urban search and rescue, u. S. Coast guard, and this provided an opportunity for our military to work with the federal and state partners there in learning how to interact with their agencies and also being able to learn some of the different capabilities that they have in using their equipment. We also had some medical partners there where they were able to locate and evacuate the medical patients and that also showed a great partnership. This is the Health Care Association for hawaii and this is the part of the agency that helped us coordinate the medical response part of this. They were able to conduct a 50bed Disaster Medical Assistance Team hospital on the island of oahu and this allowed the state of hawaii to be able to exercise their statewide disaster drill. One of the things that hawaii has never been able
