They say the military has more musicians than the State Department has diplomats. Well, not all military musicians play old American classics - one group even has a new rock video out this week.

"I am an American airman. I am a warrior. I have answered my nation's call," a deep voice narrates toward the end of the video "Send Me," produced and performed by the bank Max Impact, made up of Air Force non-commissioned officers. "I will never leave an airman behind. I will never falter. And I will not fail."

The video integrates footage from the Air Force's "premier rock band" Max Impact and their travels with members of the Air Force Special Operations Command.

"'Send Me' began as a request from within the special tactics community when an AFSOC airman saw one of Max Impact's high-energy performances," the Air Force said in a press release about the video. "Drawing inspiration from the Special Tactics motto 'First there ... that others may live,' the exciting original song and video tell the story of these highly-trained Air Force professionals and highlights their commitment and sacrifices.

Major Sergeant Shani Prewitt, the Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge (NCOIC) of Max Impact, talked about the year-long effort to make the "Send Me" music video with the special operations forces in a promotional video also on YouTube.

"It means a lot that we can have our music, follow them wherever they go, and support their mission and tell their story and what they do," she said.

The song was written by Master Sergeant Matt Ascione and Master Seargeant Ryan Carson.

"I want this song to pump you up. I want this song to encourage you. I want this song to give you energy to get you through your workday," Carson said. "So get excited, YEAH!"
