1- George discusses his background and transition with emphasis on:- having a plan (the day will come and his came earlier than expected)- the power of networking - willingness to tackle problems not in your lane (similar to taking on additional duties)- Leveraging your soft skills- Importance of talking/story telling/bragging, listening, and asking questions

2- Skills required for FM roles:- Communication (both verbal and in his case, computer networks)- Connecting the tactical to strategy (what is necessary and at what cost to keep operations running)- Learning (the macro first- clean and redundant power, cooling, "products" flow; then the micro- humility to learn from the SMEs)- Team Building- Personnel Management 

3- Other advice- Things are done the way you know in the civilian world (their is no "the way" and many ways can work, be adaptable and willing to learn)- Be willing to ask questions- Read "Extreme Ownership" and "Start with Why"
