Audience members. Hooah! The President. Well, listen, it is great to be here, at the home of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force—– Audience members. Hooah! The President.——and one of our Nation's oldest and most decorated military units, the legendary 1st Marine Division. Audience members. Hooah! The President. And I think I see some proud Navy folks here too. Audience members. Hooah! Let me thank General Nicholson for the introduction and for his outstanding leadership of our Marines in Iraq, in Afghanistan. And that includes your command of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade out of Camp Lejeune, which we recognized last year with the Presidential Unit Citation. Thank you, General Nicholson. I want to thank all of your commanders for welcoming me today, including General Coglianese and General Busby. And I want to recognize your incredible staff, noncommissioned officers, including Sergeant Majors Ronald Green, Scott Helms, and David Jobe. I want to salute Debbie Nicholson and all the spouses and military families who are here, because we understand they're the force behind the force. Just like Michelle is the force behind me. I want everyone to give a big round of applause to the amazing families who serve along with you. And I want to acknowledge Members of Congress who are here, including Susan Davis, Darrell Issa, and Dana Rohrabacher. Now, I've got to tell you the truth, I've been looking forward to this visit because—and this is a little tricky to say this—but my family and I, we've got a special place in our hearts for the Marine Corps.

Does that make Air Force One public transportation? Emily: Paid for by the public- Nick: Fair enough. Emily: So, it's public transportation. Nick: It's just not public access. Emily: Just not public access. Matt: Yeah, so publicly subsidized but not publicly enjoyed. Nick: Today on AirSpace, we're going to talk about presidential flight, specifically the people who fly and fly with the President of the United States. We assure you no presidents were interviewed in the making of this episode. Emily: We'll talk about the luxuries and familiarities of one of the most romanticized aircraft in the world with a member of the White House press corps. Scott Horsley: No one ever says, "Oh, have you been in the Oval Office," or "Have you gotten to meet the President?" The first question they always ask me is, "Have you flown on Air Force One?" Matt: And we'll talk with a former Marine One pilot about the seriousness of the responsibilities that come along with the job to fly the President of the United States on good days and bad.

    The Presence of Performance and the Stakes of Serial Drama: Accrual, Transience, Companionship Elliott Logan MPhil (University of Queensland, 2013) BA, Hons (University of Queensland, 2009) BA (University of Queensland, 2007) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Communication and Arts Abstract This thesis shows how performance is a critically neglected but crucial aspect of serial television drama as an art form. One of serial drama’s obvious storytelling attractions is its ability to involve viewers in relationships between characters over long periods of time. Such involvement takes place through a recurring structure of episodes and seasons, whose unfolding reflects the extensive, ongoing history through which interpersonal bonds form and develop, deepen and decay. The characters we watch onscreen are embodied and performed by actors. Television studies, however, has persistently overlooked screen performance, hampering appreciation of serial drama’s affinity with long-term relationships as a resource for aesthetic significance. Redressing such neglect, this thesis directs new critical attention to expressive stylistic relationships between serial form, screen performance, and the subject of companionship in some recent US serial dramas. The focus of that attention is a particular aesthetic quality: the provisional, which emerges through serial drama’s distinctive tension between permanence and transience. In the first chapter, I argue that the provisional is central to an affinity between screen performance, seriality in television drama, and companionship as an aspect of human life. Chapters Two and Three then show how the art of the provisional in particular series has been underappreciated due to television studies’ neglect of performance and expressiveness as dimensions of serial form in television fiction.
