00:11.779 --> 00:13.946
And um , I see around christmas time ,

00:19.296 --> 00:21.184

00:21.184 --> 00:23.407
weekend . I know it's got , uh , got to

00:23.407 --> 00:23.120
make a hit home a little bit harder

00:23.130 --> 00:25.074
whenever sometimes like this comes

00:25.074 --> 00:28.590
around . Uh , yes sir , I was back home

00:28.590 --> 00:30.757
during the christmas time and it was a

00:30.757 --> 00:32.979
nice break for us to be with the family

00:32.979 --> 00:35.090
during that time . Our time here is

00:35.100 --> 00:37.211
vastly getting toward the end . We'll

00:37.211 --> 00:39.660
be home back in Hawaii within a month

00:39.660 --> 00:42.110
or so . I'll bet you cannot

00:42.120 --> 00:44.960
wait . You have no idea .

00:45.040 --> 00:48.960
Well , you know , I know you guys have

00:48.970 --> 00:51.303
seen until you've seen your family just ,

00:51.303 --> 00:53.137
you know , once over this entire

00:53.137 --> 00:55.248
deployment and so I don't really know

00:55.248 --> 00:57.303
you that well and I'm sure you don't

00:57.303 --> 00:56.640
want to talk to me , especially when

00:56.640 --> 00:58.696
your family's right here . Someone ,

00:58.696 --> 01:00.862
let you guys talk for a little bit . I

01:00.862 --> 01:00.440
might ask you a question or two

01:00.440 --> 01:02.662
afterwards , but uh , just let you guys

01:02.662 --> 01:04.884
kind of have the floor and sort of talk

01:04.884 --> 01:08.550
to each other . Okay . Hi honey . Hi ,

01:08.560 --> 01:11.670

01:11.670 --> 01:14.590
cello lesson today ? Tell the lesson

01:14.590 --> 01:17.420
was good . Thanks for asking . Do Hi

01:17.420 --> 01:20.190

01:21.070 --> 01:24.270
Hi daddy . Good

01:24.270 --> 01:26.520
girl . I miss you .

01:28.450 --> 01:32.090
I miss you to wait to see you

01:33.420 --> 01:37.720
way

01:37.720 --> 01:41.710
chase . Hey , I'm working

01:41.710 --> 01:43.210
on your birthday present .

01:46.930 --> 01:49.880
That's right . We told Jack that your

01:49.880 --> 01:53.050
birthday is coming up to what do you

01:53.050 --> 01:54.439
want for your birthday ?

01:54.740 --> 01:58.160
Oh , there you go .

01:58.640 --> 02:00.820
We'll make sure you come home . Okay ?

02:03.030 --> 02:06.150
I haven't with that . Well ,

02:07.410 --> 02:09.466
I'll tell you what the first thing I

02:09.466 --> 02:11.577
want after I give my family a big hug

02:11.577 --> 02:13.930
and a kiss is a L . N . L . Plate lunch

02:13.930 --> 02:16.090
with chicken cuts through extra salad

02:16.260 --> 02:18.500
and a fruit punch . I

02:18.870 --> 02:22.160
think we can arrange that .

02:23.040 --> 02:25.650
So how's everybody else has them around ?

02:27.140 --> 02:29.029
Um We're all getting a little bit

02:29.029 --> 02:31.084
anxious . Uh we're all trying to get

02:31.084 --> 02:33.196
our stuff turned in today . We had to

02:33.196 --> 02:35.362
turn in some equipment , trying to get

02:35.362 --> 02:38.870
some projects wrapped up . Uh See we

02:38.870 --> 02:41.330
turned in , we've distributed about

02:41.340 --> 02:43.880
2000 wheelchairs in the last week and I

02:43.880 --> 02:45.880
have put together about six of them

02:45.880 --> 02:49.520
yesterday . Yeah , that really makes

02:49.530 --> 02:51.641
a big difference over there , doesn't

02:51.641 --> 02:55.410
it ? Oh my goodness . Uh everything is

02:55.410 --> 02:57.410
starting to happen all at once . Uh

02:57.410 --> 02:59.577
we're trying to get all this equipment

02:59.577 --> 03:01.632
moved and and that sort of thing and

03:01.632 --> 03:03.743
trying to come up with a plan to hand

03:03.743 --> 03:05.799
off our stuff to the oncoming guys .

03:05.799 --> 03:07.521
And so there's a little bit of

03:07.521 --> 03:09.632
confusion . A little bit of angst , a

03:09.632 --> 03:11.688
little bit of making sure we get all

03:11.688 --> 03:13.854
our stuff put away and seeing what can

03:13.854 --> 03:15.854
go into what box and what has to go

03:15.854 --> 03:15.490
into what bag and that sort of thing

03:15.490 --> 03:18.570
and you know , counting the days , uh

03:18.580 --> 03:22.020
it's about 27 days maybe depending on

03:22.030 --> 03:26.000
which calendar use aside

03:26.010 --> 03:27.954
from uh saying from obviously your

03:27.954 --> 03:30.121
family and what are some of the things

03:30.121 --> 03:32.177
you miss most that you know , you're

03:32.177 --> 03:34.121
looking forward to getting back to

03:34.121 --> 03:36.177
normal . Looking forward to seeing ,

03:36.177 --> 03:35.320
you know , kind of come back in your

03:35.320 --> 03:39.250
life the most , the color green ,

03:39.260 --> 03:41.260
it's pretty brown around here . And

03:41.260 --> 03:43.260
then if you live in Hawaii , you're

03:43.260 --> 03:45.260
used to seeing the palm trees , the

03:45.260 --> 03:47.427
beautiful mountains , the blue skies ,

03:47.427 --> 03:49.980
blue ocean . It's outside of the lakes

03:49.980 --> 03:52.410
that we have near camp slayer . Uh it's

03:52.410 --> 03:55.300
pretty brown and uh pretty pastel

03:55.300 --> 03:57.522
colors and get a little tired of it . I

03:57.522 --> 04:00.290
want to see some green . You will have

04:00.290 --> 04:02.457
a lot of that to come home to . We did

04:02.457 --> 04:04.623
actually have one of the wettest March

04:04.623 --> 04:06.679
is on record for a lot of place . So

04:06.679 --> 04:06.120
you're gonna have a lot of that to come

04:06.120 --> 04:09.820
home to . Oh wow ! Well I was thinking

04:09.820 --> 04:11.820
about that . Then when somebody was

04:11.820 --> 04:13.820
saying that they were having sewage

04:13.820 --> 04:16.050
dumps and rain and dam bursts and I

04:16.050 --> 04:19.360
said a bad day in paradise beats a good

04:19.360 --> 04:21.590
day in Iraq any day

04:22.920 --> 04:26.290
you guys have any questions you wanna

04:26.290 --> 04:28.457
ask your daddy or anything you want to

04:28.457 --> 04:28.200
tell them ,

04:32.740 --> 04:36.250
you love him .

04:36.640 --> 04:38.696
Like is this the first time you guys

04:38.696 --> 04:40.751
have , even though it's on tv is the

04:40.751 --> 04:42.973
first time the guy has been able to see

04:42.973 --> 04:44.807
him though in a while . You look

04:44.807 --> 04:46.973
different at all the caller , anything

04:46.973 --> 04:45.110
like

04:45.110 --> 04:51.700
that .

04:52.300 --> 04:55.320
That is actually how is the cuisine

04:55.320 --> 04:57.153
over there ? How does it rank in

04:57.153 --> 05:00.460
comparison to to our island food ? Well

05:00.460 --> 05:02.680
there isn't no comparison . Uh , we

05:02.680 --> 05:05.030
have to eat in the uh Kellogg brown and

05:05.030 --> 05:07.630
root dining facilities and uh when you

05:07.630 --> 05:09.519
first get here , it's pretty good

05:09.519 --> 05:11.574
compared to what it was like at fort

05:11.574 --> 05:13.519
Bragg . But uh , you can only have

05:13.519 --> 05:15.519
chicken so many ways before you get

05:15.519 --> 05:16.741
kind of tired of it .

05:19.580 --> 05:21.691
You guys have , you guys have any big

05:21.691 --> 05:23.858
plans when when he comes back anything

05:23.858 --> 05:25.913
you guys want to do you want to talk

05:25.913 --> 05:28.080
about her . Like I was telling you I'm

05:28.080 --> 05:30.480
a sailing instructor and we're gonna

05:30.490 --> 05:32.601
have a big old party with all the wet

05:32.601 --> 05:35.070
hands and they're a great group of

05:35.070 --> 05:37.181
girls who have supported both of us a

05:37.181 --> 05:39.970
lot on this deployment but we're gonna

05:39.980 --> 05:42.202
have a big old party when he comes home

05:42.202 --> 05:43.924
and celebrate his birthday and

05:43.924 --> 05:46.091
celebrate our anniversary and the kids

05:46.091 --> 05:47.813
birthdays and it'll be great .

05:48.230 --> 05:51.840
Absolutely . This is I

05:51.840 --> 05:54.118
understand your first appointment . Um ,

05:54.118 --> 05:56.229
you know , just that curiosity , this

05:56.229 --> 05:58.451
is the first time you've been away from

05:58.451 --> 05:58.330
home for such a long time . I'm sure at

05:58.330 --> 06:00.497
least away from family or loved ones .

06:00.740 --> 06:04.400
How's that been ? Oh yeah , it's

06:04.410 --> 06:06.930
uh it's been much more difficult than I

06:06.930 --> 06:08.986
could ever possibly imagine . And it

06:08.986 --> 06:11.208
wasn't even close to being as difficult

06:11.208 --> 06:13.319
for me as it has been for most of the

06:13.319 --> 06:15.263
other troops that have been here ,

06:15.263 --> 06:17.374
especially the 29th infantry from the

06:17.374 --> 06:19.486
Hawaii Army National Guard . Uh we've

06:19.486 --> 06:21.597
got it pretty easily compared to what

06:21.597 --> 06:23.763
they had , but for me it was extremely

06:23.763 --> 06:26.030
difficult just being away from the

06:26.030 --> 06:29.990
family being gone this long . And uh

06:30.000 --> 06:32.111
when you had all together it was just

06:32.111 --> 06:34.510
very very hard . But uh we did a good

06:34.510 --> 06:36.566
job . We worked really hard , we got

06:36.566 --> 06:39.770
through it . We had our soldiers from

06:39.770 --> 06:41.437
back home and our friends and

06:41.437 --> 06:43.760
associates and we got through it okay .

06:43.840 --> 06:47.550
You know actually that that leads to a

06:47.550 --> 06:49.606
question . You know , you know I see

06:49.606 --> 06:51.772
and I watch um news a lot and you only

06:51.772 --> 06:53.994
see a lot of the bad things to come out

06:53.994 --> 06:56.217
of Iraq . And a lot of times you hear a

06:56.217 --> 06:58.217
lot of people who come back and say

06:58.217 --> 06:57.880
well nobody really reports on some of

06:57.880 --> 07:00.102
the good things . So just tell us about

07:00.102 --> 07:02.158
that . Tell us , you know , here's a

07:02.158 --> 07:02.080
here's a chance for you to do that .

07:02.080 --> 07:05.020
Tell us about that . Well let me give

07:05.020 --> 07:06.798
you an example . I have a young

07:06.798 --> 07:08.798
lieutenant that works for us in our

07:08.798 --> 07:11.020
office . She's a nurse corps officer as

07:11.020 --> 07:14.090
myself and she works in a clinic that's

07:14.090 --> 07:17.040
near here and a uh an Iraqi mother

07:17.040 --> 07:19.262
brought her child over , I don't know a

07:19.262 --> 07:22.660
couple of years old . And the child was

07:22.660 --> 07:24.716
extremely ill . Very , very ill . It

07:24.716 --> 07:26.882
would have gone into an intensive care

07:26.882 --> 07:28.882
unit if it was any place else . But

07:28.882 --> 07:31.049
there was no place for her to take the

07:31.049 --> 07:33.104
child . She brought the child to the

07:33.104 --> 07:35.104
clinic . Our nurse Carolyn Hamilton

07:35.104 --> 07:37.271
recognized it and she took care of the

07:37.271 --> 07:39.271
child . Got an I . V . On the child

07:39.271 --> 07:41.327
that nobody else could have gotten .

07:41.327 --> 07:43.549
And that sort of the child to the point

07:43.549 --> 07:43.150
where she could be taken to an Iraqi

07:43.150 --> 07:45.550
medical facility . So she saved the

07:45.550 --> 07:47.661
child's life . And that's the kind of

07:47.661 --> 07:49.850
work that we're doing here right now .

07:50.050 --> 07:51.939
And those types of those types of

07:51.939 --> 07:53.994
stories . I mean that what makes the

07:53.994 --> 07:56.106
sacrifice is that at least what makes

07:56.106 --> 07:59.490
it easier ? It gives you a feeling that

07:59.490 --> 08:01.546
you've accomplished something at the

08:01.546 --> 08:03.712
end of the day . Like I said earlier ,

08:03.712 --> 08:05.657
we moved somewhere on the order of

08:05.657 --> 08:07.601
about 4000 wheelchairs total since

08:07.601 --> 08:09.823
we've been here . And when you take one

08:09.823 --> 08:11.934
of these wheelchairs and handed to an

08:11.934 --> 08:13.990
Iraqi that lost both his legs during

08:13.990 --> 08:15.879
the war , then you know , you did

08:15.879 --> 08:18.101
something . You tell me about that real

08:18.101 --> 08:20.101
fast too . I know that there's some

08:20.101 --> 08:22.323
funding behind this program . Just tell

08:22.323 --> 08:21.640
me about the program . You guys are

08:21.640 --> 08:24.340
working on . I understand you take you

08:24.340 --> 08:26.229
take unconventional items to make

08:26.229 --> 08:28.284
wheelchairs out of them . And that's

08:28.284 --> 08:30.451
sort of what you guys are working on .

08:30.451 --> 08:32.562
You know , kind of like that down for

08:32.562 --> 08:34.673
me . Okay , sir , the wheelchairs are

08:34.673 --> 08:36.784
donated by an organization called the

08:36.784 --> 08:38.896
free wheelchair mission . Dr don show

08:38.896 --> 08:40.960
in Darfur is the , uh , the uh ,

08:41.040 --> 08:43.262
creator of the wheelchair . He designed

08:43.262 --> 08:45.207
it . It's basically a plastic lawn

08:45.207 --> 08:47.330
chair that he designed to be a

08:47.330 --> 08:49.740
wheelchair that uses mountain bike type

08:49.740 --> 08:53.320
wheels . Uh , it costs about $45 or

08:53.320 --> 08:55.980
$50 for each one to be built in ship .

08:55.990 --> 08:58.930
So we get , we just got a container of

08:58.930 --> 09:02.150
about 1600 of them just this last to my

09:02.160 --> 09:06.020
r two weeks ago . So we break them down

09:06.020 --> 09:08.242
into lots and we ship them all over the

09:08.242 --> 09:10.242
country . We've sent them up to the

09:10.242 --> 09:12.353
north to Erbil , to the west , to the

09:12.353 --> 09:14.242
Al Anbar province , down south to

09:14.242 --> 09:17.130
Patagonia and uh , the soldiers , the

09:17.140 --> 09:19.307
marines , the civil affairs soldiers ,

09:19.307 --> 09:21.418
they , you know , they distribute and

09:21.418 --> 09:23.529
put them together and get them out to

09:23.529 --> 09:25.751
those folks . So it's a very successful

09:25.751 --> 09:27.973
mission . That's just one of one things

09:27.973 --> 09:30.084
that we do get the function scheme at

09:30.084 --> 09:33.230
the 3 to 2 civil affairs begay . And I

09:33.230 --> 09:35.008
know , um , you know , it's the

09:35.008 --> 09:37.174
holidays and as I was saying earlier ,

09:37.174 --> 09:36.770
I'm sure the holidays , you gotta

09:36.770 --> 09:38.492
remind you of family . There's

09:38.492 --> 09:40.659
something that , you know , you'd love

09:40.659 --> 09:39.830
to say to your family and then you've

09:39.830 --> 09:41.830
got them right here on this holiday

09:41.830 --> 09:45.040
weekend on the holiday . Well , I tell

09:45.040 --> 09:47.207
you what , honey , I'm gonna be coming

09:47.207 --> 09:50.740
home real soon and just be patient when

09:50.740 --> 09:52.796
we get there . There's going to be a

09:52.796 --> 09:55.018
bunch of things we have to do before we

09:55.018 --> 09:57.240
can actually get released . But uh this

09:57.240 --> 09:59.296
a little adventure will be over real

09:59.296 --> 10:03.000
soon , definitely . I can't wait . How

10:03.000 --> 10:06.480
has it been for you ? You said you know

10:06.480 --> 10:08.647
likened it to an adventure I guess how

10:08.647 --> 10:10.758
the adventure been for you . I mean ,

10:10.758 --> 10:12.813
has that helped you guys grow closer

10:12.813 --> 10:15.147
together even though you're so far away ?

10:15.147 --> 10:17.313
Yeah , it's made a big difference . We

10:17.320 --> 10:19.376
say a lot of things now that we just

10:19.400 --> 10:22.130
haven't said before , we've just taken

10:22.140 --> 10:24.960
for granted just day by day . So you

10:25.080 --> 10:28.600
grow more as a couple definitely . But

10:28.610 --> 10:31.100
it's there are trying situations where

10:31.100 --> 10:33.322
you just wish there here and you know ,

10:33.322 --> 10:35.544
as much support as you have from family

10:35.544 --> 10:37.656
and friends . You know , you you need

10:37.656 --> 10:39.880
yourself for certain things and yeah ,

10:39.890 --> 10:42.230
so it I mean that that that part's

10:42.230 --> 10:45.300
really hard that it's good knowing that

10:45.300 --> 10:47.480
he's safe and that he's in a pretty

10:47.480 --> 10:49.702
safe place and and that he'll be coming

10:49.702 --> 10:53.310
home who and you know , thoughts on

10:53.310 --> 10:55.310
that , you know , she was saying is

10:55.310 --> 10:57.477
giving you guys a chance to grow a lot

10:57.477 --> 11:00.880
closer together thoughts on that . Well ,

11:00.890 --> 11:03.250
you know what they say that the absence

11:03.250 --> 11:05.860
makes the heart grow fonder . Perhaps

11:05.860 --> 11:08.310
that's true . Perhaps that's not uh

11:08.320 --> 11:11.080
separation sometimes requires a lot of

11:11.090 --> 11:12.868
effort on both parts . It's not

11:12.868 --> 11:15.090
something where you can sit back and uh

11:15.090 --> 11:17.312
and just let it go . You have to really

11:17.312 --> 11:19.220
work at it . And my wife lisa has

11:19.220 --> 11:23.040
worked very very hard and I

11:23.040 --> 11:26.150
miss it .

11:26.840 --> 11:30.710
No , she too , you'll be home

11:30.710 --> 11:32.450
soon . Mhm .

11:37.660 --> 11:39.827
I won't say anything else to , I don't

11:39.827 --> 11:41.938
want to I don't want to know what you

11:41.938 --> 11:41.730
got to be clear and I don't want to end

11:41.730 --> 11:45.390
on it down or I mean , come on ,

11:45.400 --> 11:48.000
I know that you guys ,

11:48.010 --> 11:51.280
I know that you guys get to , you guys

11:51.290 --> 11:53.360
get to talk frequently . Um I

11:53.360 --> 11:55.360
understand that and that's that has

11:55.360 --> 11:57.082
been , you know , I'm sure the

11:57.082 --> 11:59.027
telephone or whatever way you guys

11:59.027 --> 12:01.249
converse has got to be just a godsend .

12:01.249 --> 12:04.920
Well , uh you spend a lot of time on

12:04.920 --> 12:08.850
the phone of eventually the , so sorry ,

12:08.860 --> 12:11.027
the army and the government has really

12:11.027 --> 12:13.193
helped us out there . I mean they make

12:13.193 --> 12:13.140
it so that you can contact your family

12:13.140 --> 12:14.980
relatively easily . You can use

12:14.980 --> 12:18.150
telephones , the internet . Uh there's

12:18.150 --> 12:20.372
no , there's no reason in the world why

12:20.372 --> 12:22.594
most folks can't keep contact . Some of

12:22.594 --> 12:24.706
the soldiers out in the more isolated

12:24.706 --> 12:26.872
areas , It's a little more problematic

12:26.872 --> 12:29.094
for them and you have to feel for him .

12:29.094 --> 12:31.317
But uh you get mail , you get stuff , I

12:31.317 --> 12:33.539
can't even begin to tell you the amount

12:33.539 --> 12:35.539
of stuff that we have received from

12:35.539 --> 12:37.483
quotes from hawaii from all of the

12:37.483 --> 12:39.706
United States , we get care packages of

12:39.706 --> 12:41.928
candy and crack seed and Malachi crunch

12:41.928 --> 12:43.928
and all kinds of stuff almost every

12:43.928 --> 12:47.270
week so it's coming out of our ears

12:47.280 --> 12:51.060
but we love it , thanks very much

12:52.280 --> 12:54.336
and I know too that you gotta make ,

12:54.336 --> 12:56.502
even though you're , where you are not

12:56.502 --> 12:58.613
home , but it's home for now . That's

12:58.613 --> 13:00.613
not just the little touches of what

13:00.613 --> 13:02.669
really home is about to you , that's

13:02.669 --> 13:05.002
going to make it a little bit easier to ,

13:05.002 --> 13:08.360
I'm sure . Yeah , you know , um , you

13:08.360 --> 13:10.582
have to personalize your space somewhat

13:10.582 --> 13:12.693
with photographs or whatever it makes

13:12.693 --> 13:14.860
you feel comfortable . We've got quite

13:14.860 --> 13:17.082
a few folks here from Hawaii so they've

13:17.082 --> 13:19.304
established a sort of a Hawaiian club ,

13:19.304 --> 13:21.471
they do solo shows on the camp victory

13:21.471 --> 13:23.220
complex here near the Baghdad

13:23.220 --> 13:26.340
International Airport . We had luau uh

13:26.350 --> 13:29.400
several months ago . It was kind of

13:29.400 --> 13:31.400
funny the , we have a third country

13:31.400 --> 13:33.178
nationals working in our dining

13:33.178 --> 13:35.289
facility and english is obviously not

13:35.289 --> 13:37.510
their mother language and so we uh ,

13:37.520 --> 13:39.742
they have made some Kalbe ribs but they

13:39.742 --> 13:41.853
spelled it tallulah be ribs and so we

13:41.853 --> 13:42.853
had a big one

13:42.853 --> 13:46.460
with ,

13:47.640 --> 13:49.780
how are the county registrar because

13:49.790 --> 13:52.070
that sounds kind of good right now .

13:52.080 --> 13:54.950
Yeah

13:55.340 --> 13:58.180
um anything you guys want to add or

13:58.180 --> 14:00.236
anything , I mean I don't know , how

14:00.236 --> 14:02.291
long are you allowed to talk for ? I

14:02.291 --> 14:01.920
mean if you want to keep talking we can

14:01.920 --> 14:03.864
keep talking , I don't want to get

14:03.864 --> 14:06.950
anybody in trouble but you get the

14:06.950 --> 14:10.550
computer fixed here .

14:11.140 --> 14:14.550
You're funny . Well she told me

14:14.550 --> 14:16.400
the screen was broken

14:16.660 --> 14:20.610
yes , I don't think we should

14:20.620 --> 14:23.380
talk about right now . Yeah , we'll

14:23.380 --> 14:24.380
talk

14:24.380 --> 14:27.460
offline .

14:28.140 --> 14:29.320
You're

14:29.330 --> 14:32.160

15:04.260 --> 15:06.038
while . No , I'm just kidding .

15:06.038 --> 15:09.710
Um , if you want to let the

15:09.710 --> 15:11.932
folks know back home that the 3-2 Civil

15:11.932 --> 15:13.932
Affairs Brigade has worked really ,

15:13.932 --> 15:16.770
really hard here in Iraq , all over the

15:16.770 --> 15:19.280
place and they should all be very ,

15:19.280 --> 15:21.280
very proud of every single soldier

15:21.290 --> 15:24.160
that's in this unit . Their outstanding

15:24.160 --> 15:25.960
people . Yeah .

15:28.840 --> 15:31.800
All right . You guys want to say it's a

15:31.800 --> 15:34.022
buy or something like that . It gives a

15:34.022 --> 15:37.560
tv a hug or something . Hi honey ,

15:37.940 --> 15:40.300
By you can't see us , but we can see

15:40.300 --> 15:43.260
you okay . Love you . I

15:43.980 --> 15:47.650
love you . Daddy .

15:47.820 --> 15:50.270
I want to ask one fast real question .

15:50.270 --> 15:52.650
I saw you the shaka sign when that

15:52.660 --> 15:54.660
whole thing went down with somebody

15:54.660 --> 15:56.938
gets in trouble for giving the shotgun .

15:56.938 --> 15:58.882
You guys still give each other the

15:58.882 --> 16:00.827
shock . I hope so . I hope so . At

16:00.827 --> 16:03.049
least you know that . Yeah . Well , you

16:03.049 --> 16:05.271
know that whole thing was blown way out

16:05.271 --> 16:07.493
of proportion . It was much to do about

16:07.493 --> 16:11.080
nothing . Um , it was more of a

16:11.090 --> 16:13.201
misunderstanding than anything else .

16:13.201 --> 16:15.534
So we all shock each other all the time .

16:15.534 --> 16:17.646
We just can't shock a general officer

16:17.740 --> 16:21.550
and that's just a from Hawaii .

16:22.040 --> 16:24.570
Are there any spot ? You know , I know

16:24.570 --> 16:26.514

16:26.514 --> 16:28.737

16:28.737 --> 16:28.300
