00:04.540 --> 00:06.762
Hi I'm Sergeant Major of the Army , Ray

00:06.762 --> 00:08.929
Chandler and I'd like to take a moment

00:08.929 --> 00:10.984
to speak to you about a subject near

00:10.984 --> 00:13.220
and dear to my heart when many of us

00:13.220 --> 00:15.440
here the word resilience , we think

00:15.440 --> 00:17.329
about the ability to rebound from

00:17.329 --> 00:19.051
life's challenges and overcome

00:19.051 --> 00:22.220
adversity . But resilience also means

00:22.230 --> 00:24.390
recognizing the character values in

00:24.390 --> 00:27.000
ourselves and others and learning how

00:27.000 --> 00:29.390
to cope with new and changing emotions .

00:30.340 --> 00:32.680
Has soldiers We face the rigors of

00:32.680 --> 00:34.791
training and deployments while trying

00:34.791 --> 00:36.847
to maintain harmony and stability at

00:36.847 --> 00:40.240
home . As leaders , we build teamwork

00:40.270 --> 00:42.492
and still resolved through physical and

00:42.492 --> 00:44.214
mental toughness and create an

00:44.214 --> 00:45.992
environment that yields optimal

00:45.992 --> 00:49.160
performance . As family members . We

00:49.160 --> 00:51.850
manage the stresses of army life while

00:51.850 --> 00:53.906
supporting our loved ones in uniform

00:53.906 --> 00:56.017
regardless of their current mission .

00:56.640 --> 00:58.930
Our army civilians face similar

00:58.930 --> 01:01.510
challenges while supporting the army

01:01.520 --> 01:04.010
community , but none of this is without

01:04.010 --> 01:06.370
consequence . For the past decade , the

01:06.370 --> 01:08.580
Marne division in Fort Stewart Hunter

01:08.590 --> 01:11.550
Army airfield has been engaged in war .

01:12.140 --> 01:13.870
Our soldiers have repeatedly

01:13.870 --> 01:15.940
experienced the dangers of combat

01:15.950 --> 01:18.360
through multiple deployments and the

01:18.360 --> 01:20.840
challenges facing the fort Stewart and

01:20.840 --> 01:22.840
harder . Army airfield community is

01:22.840 --> 01:25.210
significant but with the right training

01:25.220 --> 01:28.630
not insurmountable . I encourage all of

01:28.630 --> 01:31.010
you within the margin division , all

01:31.010 --> 01:33.280
the dog face , soldiers , the leaders ,

01:33.290 --> 01:36.090
army civilians and family members to

01:36.090 --> 01:38.340
provide a loving and supportive family

01:38.340 --> 01:41.440
environment , to develop strong social

01:41.440 --> 01:43.273
connections that build trust and

01:43.273 --> 01:45.980
promote communication to demonstrate

01:45.980 --> 01:48.380
self control in your words and actions

01:48.840 --> 01:50.790
approaching life's challenges with

01:50.800 --> 01:53.680
optimism to maintain physical fitness

01:53.680 --> 01:55.236
through robust training and

01:55.236 --> 01:57.458
conditioning and to remain steadfast in

01:57.458 --> 01:59.402
your personal values and beliefs .

02:00.040 --> 02:02.680
Leaders talk to your master resilience

02:02.680 --> 02:05.350
trainers and give them the means to

02:05.350 --> 02:08.350
conduct quarterly training . The pieces

02:08.350 --> 02:10.406
are there . We just need to use them

02:10.406 --> 02:13.470
properly . Let's face these challenges

02:13.470 --> 02:16.230
together , let's empower our soldiers

02:16.230 --> 02:18.452
and civilians with the tools to sustain

02:18.452 --> 02:20.890
resilience and make our army stronger ,

02:20.900 --> 02:23.140
more confident and in turn more

02:23.140 --> 02:25.320
resilient Rock of the Marne and

02:25.320 --> 02:27.360
Sergeant take charge .
