WEBVTT 00:00.040 --> 00:02.670 Okay , what questions do you have ? I 00:02.670 --> 00:05.500 like always to leave the vast majority 00:05.500 --> 00:08.030 of time to your questions . I know what 00:08.030 --> 00:10.197 interests me , but I don't always know 00:10.197 --> 00:12.419 what interests you . So who's the brave 00:12.419 --> 00:15.060 soul that's going to start this off the 00:15.060 --> 00:17.282 area is ? I knew it would be a marine . 00:19.640 --> 00:22.260 Yeah , You would , you do me a favor . 00:22.260 --> 00:24.316 It not for me because I have perfect 00:24.316 --> 00:26.427 hearing . Although I'm 59 years old , 00:26.427 --> 00:28.316 I'm a tanker and actually I could 00:28.316 --> 00:30.482 probably stand right next to you and I 00:30.482 --> 00:32.704 wouldn't hear you . So how about that ? 00:33.440 --> 00:36.530 So regarding the situations in Iran and 00:36.530 --> 00:38.680 Syria , how are we going to approach 00:38.680 --> 00:42.150 that Now that our ability to fight two 00:42.150 --> 00:46.110 wars is , well , Let's start off 00:46.110 --> 00:47.999 with an easy one . Why don't we ? 00:50.440 --> 00:52.662 Did you , did you play baseball in high 00:52.662 --> 00:54.884 school ? No , sir . Yeah . Well there's 00:54.884 --> 00:56.884 no softball's or curveball . That's 00:56.884 --> 00:59.560 what american high heart . Let me , let 00:59.560 --> 01:01.616 me say this . First of all , we have 01:01.616 --> 01:03.838 not , I promise you , we have not given 01:03.838 --> 01:06.360 up our ability to fight two wars at the 01:06.360 --> 01:08.700 same time . Let me elaborate on that . 01:08.700 --> 01:10.756 And I'm going to dance my way around 01:10.756 --> 01:13.260 the other part of your question . We 01:13.260 --> 01:15.149 had this thing called the two war 01:15.149 --> 01:17.530 construct for probably two decades 01:17.600 --> 01:20.200 since the Cold War fell , since the 01:20.200 --> 01:23.700 Cold War fell or since the wall fell in 01:23.700 --> 01:26.033 the Cold War ended . You know , we said , 01:26.033 --> 01:28.256 oh , you don't have the soviet union to 01:28.256 --> 01:30.478 balance ourselves off against anymore . 01:30.478 --> 01:32.589 We need a new construct . And then it 01:32.589 --> 01:34.478 became the to war construct . And 01:34.478 --> 01:36.589 initially , as you know , it was kind 01:36.589 --> 01:38.811 of Iraq and it was north Korea and then 01:38.811 --> 01:41.033 over time that migrated , but there was 01:41.033 --> 01:42.867 a certain tyranny to the to work 01:42.867 --> 01:45.033 construct . And what I mean by tyranny 01:45.033 --> 01:47.970 is that if you started to assume a 01:47.970 --> 01:51.580 prolonged conflict against two , let's 01:51.580 --> 01:54.590 call them near peer competitors , then 01:54.590 --> 01:57.330 what you did is you began , you set 01:57.330 --> 01:59.330 yourself on a path to start talking 01:59.330 --> 02:01.350 about things like days of supply of 02:01.350 --> 02:03.239 artillery . I'm using army things 02:03.239 --> 02:05.461 because I'm more familiar with . But it 02:05.461 --> 02:07.517 applies in all the services and once 02:07.517 --> 02:09.517 you knew how many days of supply of 02:09.517 --> 02:11.572 artillery you needed , then you knew 02:11.572 --> 02:13.794 how many trucks you needed to carry and 02:13.794 --> 02:15.794 then you needed how many people you 02:15.794 --> 02:17.906 needed to drive those trucks . But it 02:17.906 --> 02:20.128 became frankly , I was involved in it . 02:20.128 --> 02:21.850 It became kind of a mechanical 02:21.850 --> 02:24.680 construct and you ended up frankly , we 02:24.680 --> 02:27.060 ended up in the army with really more 02:27.060 --> 02:29.490 trucks than we really they might say . 02:29.490 --> 02:31.546 What's the big deal ? You know , you 02:31.546 --> 02:33.601 can always find something to do with 02:33.601 --> 02:35.823 the truck . The big deal is that it all 02:35.823 --> 02:37.768 comes out to be very expensive and 02:37.768 --> 02:39.879 lifecycle costs and things that would 02:39.879 --> 02:42.101 hurt your head even more . So , the two 02:42.101 --> 02:43.879 war construct became a bit of a 02:43.879 --> 02:45.768 impediment in my view to creative 02:45.768 --> 02:47.879 thinking , what we say now in our new 02:47.879 --> 02:50.046 strategy and I really believe it . I'm 02:50.046 --> 02:52.212 not just Bs and myself for you is that 02:52.212 --> 02:54.410 we got to be able to do , not only do 02:54.410 --> 02:56.577 we have to be able to do more than one 02:56.577 --> 02:58.799 thing at a time . My view is we have to 02:58.799 --> 03:00.966 be able to do at least three things at 03:00.966 --> 03:04.270 a time , At least three . Here's why if 03:04.270 --> 03:06.480 there is some kind of conflict in the 03:06.490 --> 03:08.657 pacific north Korea , if there is some 03:08.657 --> 03:10.823 kind of conflict in the gulf , We know 03:10.823 --> 03:12.990 for a fact that in the 21st century it 03:12.990 --> 03:15.790 will bleed over asymmetrically , 03:15.790 --> 03:19.380 probably into the homeland . It will 03:19.500 --> 03:21.667 the homeland is no longer a place that 03:21.667 --> 03:23.800 doesn't have to be defended during 03:23.800 --> 03:26.800 times of conflict abroad . And so not 03:26.800 --> 03:29.260 only was the two war construct limiting , 03:29.740 --> 03:32.510 it was also impeding in my view , our 03:32.510 --> 03:34.732 ability to think broadly about the fact 03:34.732 --> 03:36.621 that we have to do at least three 03:36.621 --> 03:38.566 things we have to be able to do at 03:38.566 --> 03:40.520 least three and probably more and 03:40.520 --> 03:43.910 moreover , We have not yet really 03:43.910 --> 03:46.077 grasped about how to integrate the new 03:46.077 --> 03:48.243 capabilities that have come to us over 03:48.243 --> 03:50.710 the last 10 years is our you know , how 03:50.710 --> 03:54.260 old are you ? 22 , okay , 10 years ago , 03:54.640 --> 03:56.930 think about 10 years ago . So you came 03:56.930 --> 03:59.160 in right after the After 9 , 11 , 03:59.160 --> 04:01.382 probably that came in . You were Yeah , 04:01.382 --> 04:03.438 you came in right after 9 11 , think 04:03.438 --> 04:05.438 about how different You're 22 , you 04:05.438 --> 04:08.090 were 12 , Holy Mac . That just hit me . 04:08.100 --> 04:11.600 Holy crazy . This is even gonna help me 04:11.600 --> 04:14.830 make my point more So think about the 04:14.830 --> 04:16.997 world of 10 years ago . Think about it 04:16.997 --> 04:18.997 now . The capabilities we have with 04:18.997 --> 04:21.400 this are special operating forces and 04:21.400 --> 04:25.080 site those That conversation we 04:25.080 --> 04:27.024 couldn't have had when you were 12 04:27.024 --> 04:29.191 years old . We can have it today . And 04:29.191 --> 04:31.302 the question now force becomes how do 04:31.302 --> 04:33.524 we integrate those kind of new emerging 04:33.524 --> 04:35.136 capabilities with a dominant 04:35.136 --> 04:37.240 conventional force to make ourselves 04:37.250 --> 04:40.710 better but also make ourselves more 04:40.710 --> 04:42.654 capable to deal with more than one 04:42.654 --> 04:44.877 thing at a time . And I'm promising you 04:44.877 --> 04:47.210 were going to be able to do this . Okay , 04:47.210 --> 04:50.610 Break Iran is a on a 04:50.610 --> 04:53.580 path , a stated path to develop nuclear 04:53.580 --> 04:56.840 technology . They also we think have an 04:56.840 --> 04:58.618 aspiration to turn that nuclear 04:58.618 --> 05:00.673 technology into a weapon . And we've 05:00.673 --> 05:02.840 said categorically that we will we are 05:02.840 --> 05:05.030 determined to prevent Iran from 05:05.030 --> 05:07.900 acquiring nuclear weapons . And we are 05:07.900 --> 05:10.122 working in economic and diplomatic path 05:10.122 --> 05:12.270 right now supported by military 05:12.270 --> 05:15.030 preparedness and that's what we do . We 05:15.030 --> 05:17.550 stay prepared . We allow economics and 05:17.550 --> 05:19.890 diplomacy to carry the day if at some 05:19.890 --> 05:21.723 point the president asked me for 05:21.723 --> 05:23.834 options , I'll be prepared to provide 05:24.840 --> 05:27.250 how they do . Thank you very much . 05:27.640 --> 05:30.250 It's not all right , please . 05:34.140 --> 05:36.196 It's a cryptologic technician work . 05:36.196 --> 05:38.950 Second blast question for you . Given 05:38.960 --> 05:42.580 the ongoing asymmetric quality of the 05:42.590 --> 05:44.757 threats that we have to face . It's no 05:44.757 --> 05:46.646 longer predominantly conventional 05:46.646 --> 05:48.812 forces facing off against conventional 05:48.812 --> 05:51.400 forces . Our the tentative around the 05:51.400 --> 05:53.400 world of training indigenous forces 05:53.400 --> 05:55.289 like in Tibet and all these other 05:55.289 --> 05:57.456 corners that we don't normally talk so 05:57.456 --> 05:59.678 that their indigenous forces could sort 05:59.678 --> 06:01.900 of help us out . So we don't have to be 06:01.900 --> 06:04.122 the global policemen . Are there any as 06:04.122 --> 06:03.770 far as you can tell , any new 06:03.770 --> 06:05.826 strategies emerging with in terms of 06:05.826 --> 06:07.992 how we could more adequately do that ? 06:07.992 --> 06:10.214 So we don't necessarily have to be , as 06:10.214 --> 06:12.492 you said In 3 , 456 places at one time , 06:12.492 --> 06:14.548 even though we are preparing for the 06:14.548 --> 06:16.770 Yeah , that's a good question . And you 06:16.770 --> 06:18.826 can hear it kind of you can hear the 06:18.826 --> 06:20.992 echo of it in the new strategy which I 06:20.992 --> 06:23.270 hope you hope you've read three things . 06:23.270 --> 06:25.492 Read the new strategy . It's not I made 06:25.492 --> 06:27.548 sure it wasn't long . I'm a fan . If 06:27.548 --> 06:29.714 you can't say it , You can't say about 06:29.714 --> 06:31.937 12 pages , you don't need to say um you 06:31.937 --> 06:34.160 know why I say that by the think about 06:34.160 --> 06:36.382 this . If you're anybody here ever read 06:36.382 --> 06:38.493 anything by Shakespeare , please tell 06:38.493 --> 06:41.320 me you have Oh my God , like 10% . Okay 06:41.320 --> 06:42.987 for the rest of your homework 06:42.987 --> 06:45.680 assignment for today is to go home and 06:45.680 --> 06:48.920 read a Shakespearean sonnet , 14 lines , 06:49.270 --> 06:51.300 Iambic pentameter with a rhymed 06:51.310 --> 06:53.960 couplets . And in those 14 lines , 06:53.960 --> 06:56.860 Shakespeare can define love . Now if he 06:56.860 --> 06:59.720 can define love in 14 lines of Iambic 06:59.720 --> 07:01.831 pentameter and a rhymed couplets , we 07:01.831 --> 07:03.998 ought to be able to have a strategy in 07:03.998 --> 07:06.220 12 pages . That's my theory . The other 07:06.220 --> 07:08.053 thing I published recently or we 07:08.053 --> 07:09.998 published was a white paper on the 07:09.998 --> 07:11.776 profession of arms . And then I 07:11.776 --> 07:13.553 published a pamphlet called the 07:13.553 --> 07:15.553 Chairman Strategic Direction to the 07:15.553 --> 07:17.609 force . And if you read all three of 07:17.609 --> 07:19.609 those things , I think it begins to 07:19.609 --> 07:22.360 help us all understand how we get from 07:22.360 --> 07:25.510 here to there . Now . In terms of 07:25.520 --> 07:28.130 building capabilities among our 07:28.130 --> 07:30.640 partners , I would suggest two things . 07:30.990 --> 07:33.268 And then I want to mention if I forget , 07:33.268 --> 07:35.046 I want to mention the word full 07:35.046 --> 07:37.268 spectrum . Okay , you ready ? I'll tell 07:37.268 --> 07:40.470 you why . So building partners , we 07:40.470 --> 07:42.637 have the traditional allies that we've 07:42.637 --> 07:44.770 had for , you know , in some cases 07:44.770 --> 07:46.714 hundreds of years , they're always 07:46.714 --> 07:48.860 going to be our foundation , whether 07:48.860 --> 07:51.027 we're shifting our emphasis around the 07:51.027 --> 07:53.520 globe , we just have we have cultural 07:53.520 --> 07:55.450 affinity and we have longstanding 07:55.840 --> 07:57.951 commitments to each other . And so we 07:57.951 --> 08:00.040 will always be building on the 08:00.040 --> 08:03.430 capabilities and really relying upon 08:03.430 --> 08:05.652 the shared capabilities of our european 08:05.652 --> 08:07.590 allies . But we also have the 08:07.590 --> 08:10.360 opportunity to find new partnerships in 08:10.360 --> 08:12.820 the gulf and the pacific and we are 08:12.830 --> 08:15.150 eagerly pursuing those . I would I 08:15.150 --> 08:17.150 would suggest to you that we're not 08:17.150 --> 08:19.372 anywhere near where we want to be yet , 08:19.372 --> 08:21.483 But for the first time in the last 10 08:21.483 --> 08:23.706 years because we've been so consumed by 08:23.706 --> 08:25.817 conflict , we're actually now working 08:25.817 --> 08:27.872 on that line of effort and I think I 08:27.872 --> 08:30.140 think it will make us better partners , 08:30.150 --> 08:33.260 more global more networked and 08:33.260 --> 08:37.220 therefore I think more cake . Where 08:37.220 --> 08:40.860 is it ? Yeah , full spectrum here's why 08:40.860 --> 08:43.710 I wanted to mention that you know , we 08:43.710 --> 08:45.690 will never become a we're a global 08:45.690 --> 08:48.040 power and I don't think anybody in this 08:48.040 --> 08:50.040 room would stand up and say I don't 08:50.040 --> 08:52.207 want to be a global power . You know , 08:52.207 --> 08:54.262 I mean we America does a lot of good 08:54.262 --> 08:56.484 around the world and provides stability 08:56.484 --> 08:59.060 for economic development , access and 08:59.070 --> 09:01.237 free market and all the things that we 09:01.237 --> 09:04.750 stand for . That's our values . So we 09:04.750 --> 09:07.550 have to remain a global power sometimes 09:07.550 --> 09:09.661 reluctantly , but we have to remain a 09:09.661 --> 09:12.280 global power to do that . We can't 09:12.290 --> 09:14.740 become a niche capable force . So it 09:14.740 --> 09:17.180 can't be all about I notice you're 09:17.180 --> 09:19.347 gonna hurt something . It can't be all 09:19.347 --> 09:21.569 about air power . It can't be all about 09:21.569 --> 09:23.736 naval power . It can't be all about it 09:23.736 --> 09:26.020 can't be all about anything . We have 09:26.020 --> 09:28.131 to balance ourselves but make sure we 09:28.131 --> 09:30.076 keep the capability to do whatever 09:30.076 --> 09:32.131 whatever the world presents us . And 09:32.131 --> 09:34.076 sometimes it's going to present us 09:34.076 --> 09:35.742 messy conflicts on land among 09:35.742 --> 09:38.500 populations . It just is . And other 09:38.500 --> 09:40.667 times there will be issues that we can 09:40.667 --> 09:42.980 resolve with higher technology . We got 09:42.980 --> 09:44.702 to be able to do both . And my 09:44.702 --> 09:46.813 commitment to you all is that we will 09:46.813 --> 09:50.650 remain capable of full spectrum from 09:50.660 --> 09:53.420 peacekeeping up to nuclear deterrence 09:53.940 --> 09:56.340 and we won't let that erode we can't 09:56.350 --> 09:59.680 we're a global power . Thanks . You 09:59.680 --> 10:03.570 gotta see on your memory . I'll give 10:03.570 --> 10:04.737 you another chance . 10:10.440 --> 10:13.360 Yeah . Come from economic , sir . Um 10:13.740 --> 10:15.940 there's a lot of unemployment and with 10:15.940 --> 10:18.162 the drawdown , I'm sure a lot of people 10:18.162 --> 10:20.218 are also wondering the same thing on 10:20.218 --> 10:22.440 how it is difficult for the military to 10:22.440 --> 10:24.440 find jobs when they get out and the 10:24.440 --> 10:26.662 president is working on a plan two help 10:26.662 --> 10:29.120 military members achieve that goal with 10:29.120 --> 10:31.342 the downsizing that's going to increase 10:31.342 --> 10:34.360 the unemployment . What are some other 10:34.360 --> 10:37.430 things that are being provided or work 10:37.430 --> 10:39.541 to upon to help military members when 10:39.541 --> 10:41.486 they get out to achieve employment 10:41.486 --> 10:44.600 success ? Oh yeah . Well first I want 10:44.600 --> 10:46.711 to tell you , you're the first marine 10:46.711 --> 10:48.878 that's ever used the word economics in 10:48.878 --> 10:50.822 a sentence that I know of . That's 10:50.822 --> 10:52.989 correct . Anybody else ever heard that 10:52.989 --> 10:55.260 before ? Kind of remarkable . Really . 10:57.340 --> 10:59.673 All right . I'll put that one in . Okay , 10:59.673 --> 11:02.320 please . No , I'm kidding . It's really 11:02.320 --> 11:04.840 a great question . I tell people that 11:04.850 --> 11:08.140 on my watch as the chairman , which 11:08.140 --> 11:10.307 could be two years or four some days , 11:10.307 --> 11:12.362 I hope it's to sometimes I hope it's 11:12.362 --> 11:15.630 for um what I tell folks is I'll manage 11:15.630 --> 11:18.360 three transitions for our military . 11:18.840 --> 11:21.510 First is the transition from being more 11:21.510 --> 11:23.732 or less constantly deployed in conflict 11:24.140 --> 11:27.260 two , a military that is still 11:27.940 --> 11:31.790 fighting at some level but is also now 11:31.800 --> 11:34.940 garrison training and all those things 11:34.940 --> 11:37.020 that allow you to achieve the word 11:37.030 --> 11:39.890 prepare . Don't underestimate how hard 11:39.890 --> 11:42.280 that's going to be by the Because the 11:42.280 --> 11:44.502 young men and women if you come back to 11:44.502 --> 11:46.724 the marine , a 22 year old marine . All 11:46.724 --> 11:48.669 you've where'd you go ? All you've 11:48.669 --> 11:50.780 known in your career is the claimants 11:50.780 --> 11:53.002 period . You don't really know Garrison 11:53.002 --> 11:55.002 life when you go back to garrison , 11:55.002 --> 11:54.430 you'll find that there's some things 11:54.430 --> 11:58.400 that are really , you know , exciting 11:58.400 --> 12:00.511 about it . Some things that are allow 12:00.511 --> 12:02.511 you to reconnect with your family , 12:02.511 --> 12:04.800 spend more time with your kids catch up 12:04.800 --> 12:06.911 on your education . That's all good . 12:06.911 --> 12:08.633 But you won't have kind of the 12:08.633 --> 12:10.689 inspiration of continuing to go back 12:10.689 --> 12:12.744 and fight your nation's wars , build 12:12.744 --> 12:14.800 that band of brothers and sisters in 12:14.800 --> 12:16.967 conflict . Don't under If you're a non 12:16.967 --> 12:18.911 commissioned officer in this crowd 12:18.911 --> 12:20.967 today , don't underestimate how hard 12:20.967 --> 12:20.130 that's going to be to make that 12:20.140 --> 12:22.920 transition . I've done it twice and we 12:22.920 --> 12:24.698 can do it . But you got to take 12:24.698 --> 12:26.753 ownership of it . You've got to make 12:26.753 --> 12:28.642 sure that the young men and women 12:28.642 --> 12:30.587 formally who have done nothing but 12:30.587 --> 12:32.809 deploy , understand how important it is 12:32.809 --> 12:35.080 to be a profession to live to a set of 12:35.080 --> 12:37.750 values on duty off duty in virtual , in 12:37.750 --> 12:39.861 the virtual world you can do it . I'm 12:39.861 --> 12:41.917 just telling you don't underestimate 12:41.917 --> 12:43.861 second transition bigger budget to 12:43.861 --> 12:45.750 smaller budget . I don't know how 12:45.750 --> 12:47.972 bigger or smaller , but I know it ain't 12:47.972 --> 12:50.139 going in the other direction . Anybody 12:50.139 --> 12:52.472 here have a mutual fund raise your hand . 12:52.472 --> 12:54.639 If you have a mutual fund , raise your 12:54.639 --> 12:54.470 hand , come on , admit it . Okay , 12:54.480 --> 12:57.000 leave your hand up . If it's , if it's 12:57.000 --> 13:00.640 going down , put your hand down . I 13:00.640 --> 13:02.696 want to know where you're invested . 13:03.140 --> 13:05.362 Yours is going down to you just haven't 13:05.362 --> 13:08.490 realized now you get my point . I mean , 13:08.490 --> 13:10.323 as I said , there's a new fiscal 13:10.323 --> 13:12.490 reality , it's probably gonna last for 13:12.490 --> 13:14.601 some years . We can figure it out And 13:14.601 --> 13:16.712 we have to figure it out . But that's 13:16.712 --> 13:18.823 the other transition , bigger budgets 13:18.823 --> 13:21.046 to smaller budgets . And then the third 13:21.046 --> 13:23.101 one is exactly what you said . We'll 13:23.101 --> 13:26.040 probably have 100 Maybe 125 young men 13:26.040 --> 13:28.020 and women who have served who will 13:28.020 --> 13:30.640 leave the service , probably most of 13:30.640 --> 13:32.584 them will do that willingly and by 13:32.584 --> 13:34.751 attrition . But there will be some who 13:34.751 --> 13:37.520 will undoubtedly be asked to leave . We 13:37.520 --> 13:39.742 got to do that right to do that right . 13:39.742 --> 13:41.853 We've got to make a better connection 13:41.853 --> 13:43.964 with the Veterans Administration . So 13:43.964 --> 13:46.570 that transition isn't isn't light 13:46.570 --> 13:48.737 switch on and off . It's a continuum . 13:48.740 --> 13:50.629 We've got to start thinking about 13:50.629 --> 13:52.820 helping , you know , I'll use you an 13:52.820 --> 13:54.542 example , you know , how do we 13:54.542 --> 13:56.764 translate your military experiences and 13:56.764 --> 13:59.220 your to educational credit to job 13:59.220 --> 14:01.220 opportunities ? We have an enormous 14:01.220 --> 14:03.053 effort right now to network with 14:03.053 --> 14:05.610 industry . I bet you that I don't go to 14:05.620 --> 14:07.620 I say this all the time when I meet 14:07.620 --> 14:09.731 with industry , I said you gotta hire 14:09.731 --> 14:11.509 vets And every time I do that , 14:11.509 --> 14:13.342 somebody will walk up and make a 14:13.342 --> 14:15.398 commitment to hire 100 here or 200 . 14:15.398 --> 14:17.231 There are some cases even bigger 14:17.231 --> 14:19.342 numbers and then we put them in touch 14:19.342 --> 14:21.453 with an office in the pentagon and we 14:21.453 --> 14:23.398 track it . Um , you know , I'm not 14:23.398 --> 14:25.620 suggesting to you that we've figured it 14:25.620 --> 14:27.731 all out yet , but I can tell you that 14:27.731 --> 14:29.953 it is one of my three major focus areas 14:29.953 --> 14:32.740 is how do we make sure that we help 14:32.740 --> 14:35.680 this transition so that we don't end up 14:35.690 --> 14:39.120 with , with unemployed veterans at 14:39.120 --> 14:40.953 least not more than the national 14:40.953 --> 14:43.176 average . And right now we're above the 14:43.176 --> 14:45.509 national average . So thanks for asking . 14:45.509 --> 14:48.600 And you keep banging the drum please . 14:49.040 --> 14:51.170 Mhm . Okay . The marines are leading 14:51.170 --> 14:53.281 the league . It's like 321 now . So , 14:54.240 --> 14:56.240 good morning sir . My name is gonna 14:56.240 --> 14:58.540 start booth . The way the court system 14:58.550 --> 15:01.050 is , this has to do with parental 15:01.050 --> 15:03.480 rights . Okay , the way the court 15:03.480 --> 15:05.591 system is set up , there's no nothing 15:05.591 --> 15:07.480 in place to protect the rights of 15:07.480 --> 15:09.536 military members . Uh , the parental 15:09.536 --> 15:11.424 rights during a child custody and 15:11.424 --> 15:13.590 divorce cases . Um , the soldiers and 15:13.590 --> 15:15.646 sailors act doesn't really help with 15:15.646 --> 15:17.868 that because the court system see us as 15:17.868 --> 15:20.090 unstable parents because we move around 15:20.090 --> 15:22.090 too much or that we have no support 15:22.090 --> 15:24.090 system because we do move around so 15:24.090 --> 15:26.201 much . So we can develop that support 15:26.201 --> 15:28.423 system and many of us have lost custody 15:28.423 --> 15:30.646 of our Children while deployed or right 15:30.646 --> 15:32.590 after deployment . We come back to 15:32.590 --> 15:34.646 nothing because they left with child 15:34.646 --> 15:37.800 and everything and it's just kinda hard 15:37.800 --> 15:40.022 when on one hand , they tell the courts 15:40.022 --> 15:41.967 tell us , hey , you're an unstable 15:41.967 --> 15:44.189 parent , you're not good enough to take 15:44.189 --> 15:43.990 care of this kid . But on the other 15:43.990 --> 15:45.890 hand , they tell us we're heroes 15:45.890 --> 15:48.060 protecting America's rights and 15:48.060 --> 15:50.220 freedoms , but who's protecting our 15:50.220 --> 15:52.442 rights and freedoms When we come back ? 15:53.440 --> 15:55.551 I'll tell you what ? You just floored 15:55.551 --> 15:57.773 me . Didn't we just come up ? Didn't we 15:57.773 --> 15:59.940 have a similar case up in Maxwell ? So 15:59.940 --> 16:02.050 two , twice now in two days this I , 16:02.440 --> 16:05.370 this has been manifested itself . I 16:05.370 --> 16:07.570 wish I had an answer . I'll tell you , 16:07.580 --> 16:09.413 I can tell you that now you have 16:09.413 --> 16:11.580 someone who's gonna interested in more 16:11.580 --> 16:14.390 than I was , but I don't know where we 16:14.390 --> 16:16.557 are . I don't know who wakes up in the 16:16.557 --> 16:18.168 morning believing it's their 16:18.168 --> 16:20.223 responsibility to fight through that 16:20.223 --> 16:22.279 with you . But I'm going to get your 16:22.279 --> 16:24.446 name and we'll be back in touch with . 16:24.446 --> 16:26.690 And I also have a facebook page and 16:26.690 --> 16:29.300 I'll , I'll put this on this facebook 16:29.300 --> 16:31.560 page to see it . By the way , it's not 16:31.560 --> 16:33.671 my personal facebook page . You ain't 16:33.671 --> 16:36.960 getting anywhere incursion . Um , but 16:36.960 --> 16:39.100 I'll put this on there . And because 16:39.100 --> 16:41.156 what I'll do is I'll say who else is 16:41.156 --> 16:43.670 having this problem And , and then 16:43.680 --> 16:45.990 we'll , we'll see how big it is and 16:45.990 --> 16:47.990 that will help me kind of scope . I 16:47.990 --> 16:50.212 will tell you there's some things going 16:50.212 --> 16:52.323 on that are positive . I'm not trying 16:52.323 --> 16:52.190 to talk you out of that one . I don't 16:52.190 --> 16:54.246 have an answer for that one . But we 16:54.246 --> 16:56.246 grew up in a military Dean and I've 16:56.246 --> 16:58.246 been married for 35 years and she's 16:58.246 --> 17:00.190 moved with me 25 times high school 17:00.190 --> 17:02.270 sweetheart . I told her every five 17:02.270 --> 17:04.492 years I was getting out of the military 17:04.492 --> 17:07.070 and here don't tell your spouse is well 17:07.070 --> 17:08.848 you probably doing the same gun 17:08.848 --> 17:11.560 lighting . But 17:13.240 --> 17:15.140 but you know , we used to have a 17:15.140 --> 17:17.570 problem . We still have a problem with , 17:17.570 --> 17:19.792 let's say you were a credential teacher 17:19.792 --> 17:21.848 or a nurse practitioner and you move 17:21.848 --> 17:23.737 from one state to the next . Your 17:23.737 --> 17:26.030 credentials are not portable . They're 17:26.030 --> 17:28.550 not transferrable . So we just got the 17:29.840 --> 17:31.840 first lady of the United States and 17:31.840 --> 17:33.840 Vice President biden's wife dr Jill 17:33.840 --> 17:35.620 biden with this joining forces 17:35.620 --> 17:37.620 initiative to kind of go out on the 17:37.620 --> 17:41.380 prowl encourage states to sign up to 17:41.380 --> 17:43.870 allow those credentials to be portable 17:43.880 --> 17:46.047 from one state to the next . So if you 17:46.047 --> 17:48.158 get your teacher's certificate in new 17:48.158 --> 17:50.158 york and we move you to texas , you 17:50.158 --> 17:52.269 ought to be able to use your teachers 17:52.269 --> 17:54.269 or at least to start teaching as an 17:54.269 --> 17:56.436 interim step until you get credentials 17:56.436 --> 17:58.658 in that particular state . We got eight 17:58.658 --> 18:00.936 states . I think it's slow Eight or 18 . 18:06.940 --> 18:09.960 Yeah . Okay . Come on . Um , there are 18:09.960 --> 18:12.220 three states so far that have kind of 18:12.220 --> 18:15.520 sign with , you know , variations of 18:15.530 --> 18:17.810 programs to help with it . Um , The 18:17.820 --> 18:19.709 first lady's meeting with all the 18:19.709 --> 18:21.931 governors this week to try to push this 18:21.931 --> 18:24.098 paper that they've done , they had the 18:24.098 --> 18:26.660 Department of Treasury diode all of us 18:26.660 --> 18:29.090 kind of on track with it . And so 18:29.100 --> 18:31.530 that's been a huge one because it's not 18:31.530 --> 18:34.160 only the delay in getting the paperwork . 18:34.160 --> 18:36.104 You know , maybe you don't have an 18:36.104 --> 18:38.049 address yet . You know , if you're 18:38.049 --> 18:40.104 waiting for quarters , you can't get 18:40.104 --> 18:39.580 your transcripts in anywhere because 18:39.580 --> 18:41.636 you don't have an address . It's the 18:41.636 --> 18:44.310 cost of the license each time you move 18:44.320 --> 18:46.431 and you know , so now you're not only 18:46.431 --> 18:48.598 not working and bringing that and come 18:48.598 --> 18:50.764 into a family that may be really needs 18:50.764 --> 18:52.987 it , but you're also paying more out of 18:52.987 --> 18:55.042 pocket to get that license . So it's 18:55.042 --> 18:57.153 been a huge deal . And everywhere the 18:57.153 --> 18:59.376 first lady has traveled as do we , that 18:59.376 --> 19:01.542 becomes a huge issue for spouses every 19:01.542 --> 19:03.487 and so they are that but it is the 19:03.487 --> 19:05.660 second time this week that child 19:05.660 --> 19:07.771 custody thing came up and it was news 19:07.771 --> 19:09.840 to us . Yeah . I mean this might be 19:09.840 --> 19:11.673 when we take into that forum the 19:11.673 --> 19:13.896 joining forces for um see if we can get 19:13.896 --> 19:15.951 some thanks for bringing it up . And 19:15.951 --> 19:18.118 I'm sorry you're going through if it's 19:18.118 --> 19:17.460 you . I'm sorry You're going through . 19:18.740 --> 19:21.760 Oh , what happened in the interim ? Yes 19:21.760 --> 19:23.871 ma'am . You look like you're so ready 19:23.871 --> 19:26.093 to ask the question . I'm afraid to say 19:26.093 --> 19:29.460 no . Good . 19:31.440 --> 19:34.490 one of the first things that I when I 19:34.500 --> 19:36.611 was informed that we would be meeting 19:36.611 --> 19:38.722 with you here was things that affects 19:38.722 --> 19:40.556 the military families here . And 19:40.556 --> 19:42.889 obviously we've brought up unemployment . 19:42.889 --> 19:45.056 It's not only for the military members 19:45.056 --> 19:44.840 when they get out , but it's for the 19:44.840 --> 19:47.030 spouses , we do move a lot . We do go 19:47.030 --> 19:49.290 from here there and credentials don't 19:49.290 --> 19:51.790 transfer . one of the things that 19:51.790 --> 19:54.690 affects that is child care here on base . 19:54.690 --> 19:56.746 Childcare is considered the military 19:56.746 --> 20:00.520 members income plus the spouses in at B . 20:00.520 --> 20:02.880 H . That even though you live on base 20:02.890 --> 20:05.170 you don't see it's still considered . 20:05.840 --> 20:08.580 Is there anything in the works to help 20:08.580 --> 20:10.730 may be reduced that cost for the 20:10.730 --> 20:12.990 families . Because many military 20:12.990 --> 20:15.520 spouses can't get jobs that make it 20:15.520 --> 20:19.110 worth it to page for the Children to be 20:19.110 --> 20:21.280 in daycare and bring extra income into 20:21.280 --> 20:23.540 the family . And with the economics we 20:23.540 --> 20:25.670 need as much income as we can get . 20:26.340 --> 20:28.451 Yeah . I don't know . I mean normally 20:28.451 --> 20:30.562 when asked a question like that , the 20:30.562 --> 20:32.618 first thing I try to find out is are 20:32.618 --> 20:34.673 all the services dealing with it the 20:34.673 --> 20:36.729 same way . And normally I find out . 20:36.729 --> 20:38.729 Normally I find out not show . So I 20:38.729 --> 20:40.673 need to find out that anybody here 20:40.673 --> 20:42.451 wanna help with this particular 20:42.451 --> 20:44.562 location . But where's the garrison ? 20:44.562 --> 20:47.520 Come quit hiding stand up . No , I'm 20:47.520 --> 20:49.820 kidding . He does a great job . Any can 20:49.820 --> 20:51.876 you help me out with that question ? 20:54.840 --> 20:57.860 Yeah . Talk life . 21:00.240 --> 21:03.450 Okay . You said child . 21:04.440 --> 21:06.107 So I think all those issues . 21:08.340 --> 21:10.507 Okay , what you've got is a commitment 21:10.507 --> 21:12.618 now somehow by the way we need to get 21:13.540 --> 21:16.800 folks who have ask the question so we 21:16.800 --> 21:18.856 can get you some feedback . But what 21:18.856 --> 21:21.022 you have is a commitment to look at it 21:21.022 --> 21:23.133 here locally and then what I'll do is 21:23.133 --> 21:25.356 try to , as I go back and meet with the 21:25.356 --> 21:27.689 service chiefs would make that mike hot . 21:28.640 --> 21:29.640 Okay . 21:33.840 --> 21:36.440 I don't know who that is . I'm gonna 21:36.440 --> 21:38.440 blame you if they just went off the 21:38.440 --> 21:40.273 military members rank instead of 21:40.273 --> 21:42.496 including the spousal income that would 21:42.496 --> 21:44.710 help out each family . So , I mean , 21:44.710 --> 21:46.654 that's an idea that they can use . 21:48.640 --> 21:52.330 Yeah . It's just that I did not realize 21:52.330 --> 21:54.441 what's going on here and I don't know 21:54.441 --> 21:56.497 that it's going on with all services 21:56.497 --> 21:58.719 because of privatization . They are now 21:59.140 --> 22:02.170 including the BH as part of your income , 22:02.170 --> 22:04.503 even though you never see that . And so , 22:04.503 --> 22:06.559 yeah . And so that just came up this 22:06.559 --> 22:08.726 morning to us and I don't know if that 22:08.726 --> 22:11.430 is across the services to or if that's 22:11.500 --> 22:14.680 here or if it's navy or So we need to 22:14.680 --> 22:16.902 look at that with privatization because 22:16.902 --> 22:19.180 if it's not income that they're seeing , 22:19.180 --> 22:21.180 it shouldn't be factored in to what 22:21.180 --> 22:23.180 they're making for their rates with 22:23.180 --> 22:25.291 childcare . So we just , it just came 22:25.291 --> 22:27.347 up this morning and we've taken that 22:27.347 --> 22:29.236 back look at that because we were 22:29.236 --> 22:31.402 informed when we called here for N . S 22:31.402 --> 22:33.513 child care services that are BH would 22:33.513 --> 22:36.020 be included live on base housing . So I 22:36.020 --> 22:38.076 mean , that is something that's here 22:38.076 --> 22:40.187 and my husband was trained as a CFS . 22:40.187 --> 22:42.131 So according to that , they're not 22:42.131 --> 22:44.464 supposed to , but they are including it . 22:44.464 --> 22:46.464 So I mean if that's sure now it's a 22:46.464 --> 22:48.464 fair by the way , any question is a 22:48.464 --> 22:50.520 fair question . And we'll try to get 22:50.520 --> 22:53.640 you a thoughtful answer . Try to do it 22:53.640 --> 22:55.973 as quickly as we can . Thanks very much . 22:55.973 --> 22:58.029 By the way , I'll go to the pentagon 22:58.029 --> 22:59.973 and help you get this budget thing 22:59.973 --> 23:02.084 straightened out any day . Yeah , you 23:02.084 --> 23:05.460 got a long way for that . Thanks . 23:05.840 --> 23:08.060 Somebody on this side . Who ? 23:09.440 --> 23:12.320 Yeah , got you . Right , yep . You 23:12.330 --> 23:16.320 thanks . Born sir . And Sam 23:16.320 --> 23:18.990 Adams . Uhh the Air Force has done 23:18.990 --> 23:21.157 great things with These and automatons 23:21.157 --> 23:23.180 in the past 10 years . The Navy has 23:23.180 --> 23:25.330 begun extensive research Using this 23:25.330 --> 23:27.219 unmanned flight . I was wondering 23:27.219 --> 23:30.250 you've used the 24 deadline . But just 23:30.250 --> 23:33.800 to check budget , where does research 23:33.800 --> 23:37.030 for all branches um What directions are 23:37.030 --> 23:39.030 going to go for the next 10 years ? 23:39.030 --> 23:40.752 More towards research in these 23:40.752 --> 23:42.863 technologies preserving money through 23:42.863 --> 23:44.974 traditional pilot is great question . 23:44.974 --> 23:46.974 And for those of you that trying to 23:46.974 --> 23:49.030 sucker me into saying we've seen the 23:49.030 --> 23:51.141 end of manned flight , I am not going 23:51.141 --> 23:53.086 anywhere near , especially in this 23:53.086 --> 23:56.180 crowd . Um I do think 2020 , you'll see 23:56.180 --> 23:58.790 a difference proportionality of manned 23:58.790 --> 24:00.623 and remotely by the way it's not 24:00.623 --> 24:02.790 unmanned as you know , it takes a huge 24:02.790 --> 24:05.012 ground component and head and all kinds 24:05.012 --> 24:06.957 of things to support . But I think 24:06.957 --> 24:09.640 you'll see the percentages change we in 24:09.640 --> 24:12.770 the budget ah protected research and 24:12.770 --> 24:14.826 development science technology . The 24:14.826 --> 24:16.826 distinction being R and D . Kind of 24:16.826 --> 24:18.826 closer in S . And T . Kind of , you 24:18.826 --> 24:20.992 know , the mad scientist kind of stuff 24:20.992 --> 24:23.170 further out because we do think that 24:23.540 --> 24:25.270 artificial intelligence or non 24:25.270 --> 24:27.140 biological intelligence as it is 24:27.140 --> 24:29.890 sometimes described is exponentially 24:29.890 --> 24:32.112 changing . Not just I mean , you know , 24:32.112 --> 24:34.334 you probably saw Watson the computer on 24:34.334 --> 24:36.446 jeopardy . So you get to a point when 24:36.446 --> 24:38.557 when artificial intelligence can make 24:38.557 --> 24:40.779 those kind of decisions in that kind of 24:40.779 --> 24:43.210 cycle , we got to explore it because if 24:43.210 --> 24:44.821 we're not exploring that our 24:44.821 --> 24:47.043 adversaries are , I'll give you another 24:47.043 --> 24:49.377 example in business algorithmic trading . 24:49.377 --> 24:51.432 I don't know if you're familiar with 24:51.432 --> 24:53.654 that but you know , you have this image 24:53.654 --> 24:53.460 that when they ring the bell on Wall 24:53.460 --> 24:55.682 Street that it's all done by these guys 24:55.682 --> 24:57.571 running around madly on the floor 24:57.571 --> 24:59.627 looking up at screens and holding up 24:59.627 --> 25:01.793 cards and actually most of the trading 25:01.793 --> 25:03.960 are most but a good bit of it has done 25:03.960 --> 25:06.400 algorithmic lee which is to say there's 25:06.400 --> 25:09.050 algorithms and when it's triggered , 25:09.840 --> 25:12.410 the market is moved in one direction . 25:12.410 --> 25:14.521 In other in other words , the sale or 25:14.521 --> 25:16.632 the procurement of the purchases made 25:16.632 --> 25:18.743 and that's all done algorithmic lee . 25:18.743 --> 25:20.966 So you know , there is a change of foot 25:20.966 --> 25:23.410 and how decision making is made and 25:23.410 --> 25:25.466 we're trying to stay abreast of it . 25:25.466 --> 25:27.632 And actually as the military has often 25:27.632 --> 25:30.420 been evidence or trying to get ahead of 25:30.420 --> 25:32.476 it actually . And I think I think we 25:32.476 --> 25:34.142 are and we have preserved our 25:34.142 --> 25:36.364 investment . That's the important point 25:36.364 --> 25:38.309 in both science and technology and 25:38.309 --> 25:40.531 research and development in this budget 25:40.540 --> 25:42.429 and we have to back to this whole 25:42.429 --> 25:44.484 balanced thing . You know , we can't 25:44.484 --> 25:46.970 you can't put as the phrase off and 25:46.970 --> 25:49.081 goes , you can't put all your eggs in 25:49.081 --> 25:51.081 one basket because the future never 25:51.081 --> 25:53.192 cooperates . Good question . And keep 25:53.192 --> 25:55.800 pushing us on . Thanks . Way in the 25:55.800 --> 25:56.560 back left 26:06.340 --> 26:08.340 after Brown from Seattle unit Corey 26:08.340 --> 26:10.007 Station . Uh , there's been a 26:10.007 --> 26:12.062 possibility we're talking about that 26:12.340 --> 26:14.340 Active duty members will be able to 26:14.340 --> 26:17.170 retire at 15 years if and when will 26:17.170 --> 26:19.670 that take place ? You're interesting . 26:20.440 --> 26:23.450 Yes . Um , 26:24.340 --> 26:26.370 Every service will deal with the 26:26.380 --> 26:28.491 drawdown differently because it's all 26:28.491 --> 26:30.602 everybody has different numbers . The 26:30.602 --> 26:32.769 Marine Corps has . I think it's 12,000 26:32.769 --> 26:35.630 I army roughly 80 . And you know , so 26:35.630 --> 26:37.780 every service has has a different 26:37.790 --> 26:39.890 challenge . And what they'll do with 26:39.890 --> 26:42.060 that challenges , they will try to 26:42.070 --> 26:44.500 build a package of benefits 26:45.740 --> 26:49.280 so that this reduction is done with 26:49.290 --> 26:51.560 dignity frankly and doesn't put you in 26:51.940 --> 26:54.760 economic harms way . Every time we've 26:54.760 --> 26:56.850 done in the past , we have gone to a 26:57.240 --> 27:00.240 System of 5th and we've offered 15 year 27:00.240 --> 27:02.670 retirements . I can't predict for you 27:02.670 --> 27:05.270 yet . That's what , where we will end 27:05.270 --> 27:08.660 up . But I I can't predict that's where 27:08.660 --> 27:12.660 we end up deposit or supposed it 27:12.660 --> 27:14.890 was one of the instruments are one of 27:14.890 --> 27:17.001 the tools in the toolbox . We used to 27:17.001 --> 27:19.590 reshape the force . But I haven't , I 27:19.590 --> 27:21.701 haven't , we're not there yet because 27:21.701 --> 27:23.923 we really don't start this draw down in 27:23.923 --> 27:26.090 earnest for a couple of years now . By 27:26.090 --> 27:27.979 the way the navy is already doing 27:27.979 --> 27:30.090 already doing some reductions and has 27:30.090 --> 27:32.257 over the last four or five years . And 27:32.257 --> 27:34.479 I think that 15 year retirement was one 27:34.479 --> 27:36.534 of the one of the instruments in the 27:36.534 --> 27:38.860 toolbox that allowed . So that question 27:38.860 --> 27:42.830 probably is best adds answered by the 27:42.840 --> 27:45.640 folks up here with me . We'll all 27:45.640 --> 27:49.240 capture your feedback . Thanks . Yeah , 27:49.250 --> 27:50.694 right there in the corner 27:53.240 --> 27:56.480 and served . So the question goes back 27:56.480 --> 27:58.960 to the question asked by instant Adams , 27:59.340 --> 28:01.870 guards , considerations of using drones 28:01.870 --> 28:04.760 in addition to traditional back , how 28:04.760 --> 28:08.470 do you balance mm , the issue 28:08.470 --> 28:11.460 of electronic vehicle ? Uh , there's no 28:12.440 --> 28:14.770 beating heart and it intervening some 28:15.740 --> 28:17.796 with traditional questions of some , 28:17.940 --> 28:21.040 it's yeah , I got to ask that question 28:21.050 --> 28:23.880 by Fareed Zakaria actually about , he 28:23.880 --> 28:26.102 said he phrase that , are you concerned 28:26.102 --> 28:29.560 about the ethics unmanned armed 28:29.570 --> 28:31.960 aircraft and what I told him was that 28:32.660 --> 28:34.827 and the same thing . I'll tell you , I 28:35.540 --> 28:38.360 any time we employ that that capability . 28:38.940 --> 28:42.340 We do so only after a very 28:42.340 --> 28:45.600 significant Yeah . Series of 28:45.600 --> 28:47.322 discussions about the legality 28:47.322 --> 28:50.200 authorized use of military force . And 28:50.200 --> 28:52.430 secondly , we do confront the ethical 28:52.440 --> 28:56.180 basis for our actions that is to say is 28:56.180 --> 28:58.650 there a clear threat to the homeland ? 28:59.040 --> 29:01.151 I don't need to walk you through it . 29:01.151 --> 29:03.096 But I will tell you this is not as 29:03.096 --> 29:05.262 sometimes the media would portray it . 29:05.262 --> 29:07.400 It's not a bunch of kind Nintendo 29:07.400 --> 29:10.340 generation kids sit in some place , you 29:10.340 --> 29:13.270 know , with a little joystick making 29:13.270 --> 29:15.870 autonomous or semi autonomous decisions . 29:15.880 --> 29:17.713 These decisions are taken at the 29:17.713 --> 29:19.824 highest levels and I'm very confident 29:19.824 --> 29:22.047 as I stand here today that we have both 29:22.047 --> 29:24.158 the legal basis and the ethical basis 29:24.158 --> 29:26.324 on which to make those decisions . Now 29:26.324 --> 29:29.060 that set whoever asked me the question 29:29.060 --> 29:31.200 about , you know , as we watch 29:31.200 --> 29:33.190 nonbiological intelligence and 29:33.190 --> 29:35.510 artificial intelligence , cyber 29:35.510 --> 29:37.240 activities as we watch those 29:37.240 --> 29:40.550 technologies increase . I think we have 29:40.550 --> 29:43.350 to be alert for not only legalities , 29:43.740 --> 29:46.260 ethics and I can promise you we are we 29:46.260 --> 29:48.420 do that . But for standing here right 29:48.420 --> 29:50.930 now , I can tell you , I'm confident 29:50.940 --> 29:54.220 we're we have a process in place that 29:54.220 --> 29:56.164 allows us to look ourselves in the 29:56.164 --> 29:58.164 mirror and say we've got both legal 29:58.164 --> 30:00.331 basis and ethical basis . But it bears 30:00.331 --> 30:03.820 constant reflection and screw . And I 30:03.820 --> 30:05.820 think it's a great question and one 30:05.820 --> 30:07.987 that how old are you ? That's a pretty 30:07.987 --> 30:10.098 profound question for a 22 year old . 30:10.098 --> 30:12.260 I'm proud . Yeah , 30:19.240 --> 30:21.950 sir . Senior Chief myself . The center 30:22.440 --> 30:24.540 nation dominance . I have another 30:24.540 --> 30:27.050 economic question for you reason . Oh , 30:27.440 --> 30:30.800 as our allies experience there economic 30:30.810 --> 30:33.640 issues , draw down their defense 30:33.640 --> 30:36.850 budgets . Do you first see 30:37.240 --> 30:40.360 there require defence requirement 30:40.370 --> 30:43.320 becoming our defenses therefore 30:43.320 --> 30:47.270 increasing are requirements for the 30:47.270 --> 30:49.660 Falklands say , or the Spratly Islands 30:49.670 --> 30:52.660 defending national resources . Well , 30:53.240 --> 30:54.684 right to the heart of the 30:56.040 --> 30:59.840 uh , it's a fair question and one that 30:59.850 --> 31:03.330 we are engaged with our especially our 31:03.330 --> 31:05.890 closest european allies with frequently 31:05.890 --> 31:08.770 I meet about every About three times a 31:08.770 --> 31:11.410 year . We have NATO Chiefs of Defence . 31:11.940 --> 31:14.162 I'm considered the Chief of Defence for 31:14.162 --> 31:16.107 America . We have a NATO Chiefs of 31:16.107 --> 31:18.218 Defence counterpart conference and we 31:18.218 --> 31:20.380 talk about what they're investing in 31:20.380 --> 31:22.380 what not only the dollar figure but 31:22.380 --> 31:24.920 capabilities and how we can ensure that 31:24.920 --> 31:27.460 those capabilities are complementary 31:27.840 --> 31:30.062 and are harmonized with ours so that we 31:30.062 --> 31:32.118 don't become , you know , so that we 31:32.118 --> 31:34.229 don't bear the entire burden . One of 31:34.229 --> 31:36.396 the things you need to know about NATO 31:36.396 --> 31:38.880 though , 28 countries , so 27 others 31:38.880 --> 31:41.560 plus us , Their budget in the aggregate 31:41.560 --> 31:43.727 is about $300 billion dollars a year . 31:43.727 --> 31:45.838 So although they don't invest as much 31:45.838 --> 31:48.250 as we think they should , It's not an 31:48.260 --> 31:50.316 insignificant investment . They make 31:50.316 --> 31:53.350 $300 billion 27 countries . The 31:53.350 --> 31:55.700 question becomes , can we come to some 31:55.700 --> 31:57.811 agreement about capability . So , for 31:57.811 --> 32:00.033 example , in Libya NATO did a great job 32:00.033 --> 32:02.256 but we really have to provide virtually 32:02.256 --> 32:06.140 all of is our for example , so we 32:06.140 --> 32:09.710 are encouraging with a program 32:09.710 --> 32:12.100 called eggs allied ground system , 32:12.100 --> 32:15.860 we're encouraging them to invest S . R . 32:16.240 --> 32:18.730 So that we don't bear the entire burden 32:18.730 --> 32:20.841 of ice Or should NATO take a decision 32:20.841 --> 32:23.800 to act some place outside the borders 32:23.800 --> 32:25.911 of europe or for that matter inside . 32:25.911 --> 32:27.967 So I guess how I would leave it with 32:27.967 --> 32:30.750 you . Is that about three times a year 32:30.750 --> 32:32.960 with our european allies and probably 32:32.970 --> 32:35.680 twice a year with others . We have 32:35.680 --> 32:37.960 exactly that conversation so that we 32:37.960 --> 32:40.180 don't so that we believe that our 32:40.180 --> 32:42.280 allies are actually have skin in the 32:42.280 --> 32:45.560 game and at this point I think 32:46.140 --> 32:48.251 probably a little less satisfied that 32:48.540 --> 32:50.651 everybody's doing as much as we think 32:50.651 --> 32:54.070 they should . But it's a , it's a , 32:54.080 --> 32:56.370 it's a collaborative effort to get them 32:56.370 --> 32:58.203 where we think be and you know , 32:58.203 --> 33:00.259 they're balancing their own national 33:00.259 --> 33:02.314 interests as we are . Great question 33:02.314 --> 33:05.030 and one that bears , you know the 33:05.040 --> 33:08.050 drumbeat About every 90 , days . 33:08.840 --> 33:10.440 Thanks Yeah . 33:17.440 --> 33:19.610 Morning General Dempsey Amy to Brown 33:19.620 --> 33:21.676 here at that center . Um , one of my 33:21.676 --> 33:24.260 questions is as an instructor were 33:24.260 --> 33:27.690 slated to prepare future sailors and 33:27.690 --> 33:31.210 marines for the fleet , so to speak and 33:31.210 --> 33:33.321 with technological advancements being 33:33.321 --> 33:35.770 made every day in the fleet that 33:35.780 --> 33:39.460 somewhat are a lot further ahead than 33:39.470 --> 33:42.370 what we teach . How do you propose with 33:42.380 --> 33:45.640 budgets to bridge that gap for 33:45.650 --> 33:48.860 instructors to better prepare 33:49.240 --> 33:51.760 military personnel ? Yeah , really , 33:51.760 --> 33:53.871 another great question . And one that 33:53.871 --> 33:55.816 we talked about on the flight line 33:55.816 --> 33:58.093 actually before it came . First of all , 33:58.093 --> 34:00.371 if you're how many of your instructors ? 34:00.371 --> 34:02.482 Hey , that's great . Thanks for doing 34:02.482 --> 34:04.482 it . When I was a commander of army 34:04.482 --> 34:06.371 training , I had a heck of a time 34:06.740 --> 34:10.160 dragging the right guys and gals out of 34:10.740 --> 34:12.796 current conflict and put them in the 34:12.796 --> 34:14.851 classroom to share their experiences 34:14.851 --> 34:17.510 and to raise the collective bar on 34:17.510 --> 34:19.677 education training in our service , so 34:19.840 --> 34:22.170 I'm glad to see you're here secondly , 34:22.540 --> 34:25.510 Yeah , I think that in terms of 34:25.510 --> 34:28.980 bridging what the fielded force has in 34:28.980 --> 34:31.091 your case the fleet has and what's in 34:31.091 --> 34:34.400 the schoolhouse , I suspect you and I 34:34.410 --> 34:36.410 would probably conclude we're never 34:36.410 --> 34:38.243 going to entirely close that gap 34:38.243 --> 34:40.650 because the truth is as we procure new 34:40.650 --> 34:43.860 technologies , I've had this debate and 34:44.440 --> 34:46.162 you know , if we procure a new 34:46.162 --> 34:48.273 technology , even something as simple 34:48.273 --> 34:50.218 as an m wrap mine resistant ambush 34:50.218 --> 34:53.100 protected vehicle when I was a trade , 34:53.100 --> 34:55.322 I could say , okay , I need X number of 34:55.322 --> 34:57.489 em raps in the schoolhouse so that the 34:57.489 --> 34:59.322 soldiers that were going through 34:59.322 --> 35:01.820 training would have what the experience 35:01.820 --> 35:03.764 of being in an emerald before they 35:03.764 --> 35:05.987 deploy the guy in the field said , what 35:05.987 --> 35:08.209 are you nuts ? You're gonna keep one at 35:08.209 --> 35:10.376 fort Knox Kentucky and I don't have it 35:10.376 --> 35:12.530 and in Kandahar and some poor kid's 35:12.530 --> 35:14.752 gonna get blown up while you're feeling 35:14.752 --> 35:16.808 better about the training bases . So 35:16.808 --> 35:18.863 there'll always be that kind of pull 35:18.863 --> 35:21.690 and tug about new technologies , I 35:21.690 --> 35:25.250 think that the way we Bridget is by you , 35:25.260 --> 35:27.860 so we take people out of the 35:28.440 --> 35:30.870 operational force , we bring them into 35:30.870 --> 35:32.648 the schoolhouse , they have the 35:32.648 --> 35:35.560 experience , the credibility relevance 35:35.570 --> 35:37.792 to impart that knowledge , even if it's 35:37.792 --> 35:39.626 not this meaning and even if the 35:39.626 --> 35:41.737 equipment is not there , secondly , I 35:41.737 --> 35:43.792 do think back to the questions about 35:43.792 --> 35:45.760 technology , I do think there are 35:45.770 --> 35:48.370 opportunities in the creation of 35:48.380 --> 35:50.436 virtual environments , for example , 35:50.436 --> 35:53.390 that can be done at fairly low cost um 35:53.400 --> 35:56.510 to replicate that , which I'm a fan of 35:56.510 --> 35:58.732 simulations . In fact , the Admiral , I 35:58.732 --> 36:00.788 had a conversation about simulations 36:00.788 --> 36:02.630 because I think simulations and 36:02.630 --> 36:05.550 technology are becoming so realistic 36:06.130 --> 36:08.890 that we can replicate environments in 36:08.890 --> 36:11.240 the training base that we couldn't 36:11.240 --> 36:13.940 possibly pay for it . So let's say roll 36:13.950 --> 36:16.380 people playing role model , you know , 36:16.380 --> 36:18.491 so you want to have the experience of 36:18.491 --> 36:20.602 being an Iraqi village and what we've 36:20.602 --> 36:22.769 done heretofore is we've kind of hired 36:22.769 --> 36:24.991 a bunch of Iraqi americans told them to 36:24.991 --> 36:27.158 wander around a bunch of mill vans and 36:27.158 --> 36:29.491 concrete facilities and act like Iraqis . 36:29.491 --> 36:31.158 And we said we've created the 36:31.158 --> 36:33.158 environment , let's go practice and 36:33.430 --> 36:35.486 well it's very expensive to do , but 36:36.130 --> 36:38.241 you know , how many of you play World 36:38.241 --> 36:40.241 of Warcraft are called to Duty ? Go 36:40.241 --> 36:42.574 ahead , admit it , if you do it on Duty , 36:42.574 --> 36:45.850 leave your hand up in good shape . 36:47.630 --> 36:49.686 I'm sure there's much more than that 36:49.686 --> 36:51.908 and if you're not playing those games , 36:51.908 --> 36:53.963 your kids are and fundamentally what 36:53.963 --> 36:53.540 that is is , you know , you're 36:53.540 --> 36:55.760 immersing yourself into what it's 36:55.760 --> 36:58.410 called , a massive online multiplayer 36:58.410 --> 37:00.680 role playing game . So it's immersive 37:00.680 --> 37:03.390 environments , collaboration in 37:03.390 --> 37:05.612 artificial or virtual environments , we 37:05.612 --> 37:07.834 can do that , you know , if they can do 37:07.834 --> 37:09.946 it and call to duty , why can't we do 37:09.946 --> 37:12.660 it at in some post camper station , 37:13.030 --> 37:15.141 thereby closing the gap , we're never 37:15.141 --> 37:17.560 going to entirely close but we can I 37:17.560 --> 37:19.727 think close it and I think that's what 37:19.727 --> 37:21.960 we've got to think that you agreed . 37:23.130 --> 37:26.970 Mhm . Then I like you . Uh 37:26.970 --> 37:29.550 huh . Have the funding . Yeah that's 37:29.560 --> 37:33.520 one way I think I think you 37:33.520 --> 37:35.900 know there's depending on top of the 37:35.900 --> 37:37.900 efforts area about digital two year 37:37.900 --> 37:41.150 which have in your experience and go 37:41.530 --> 37:44.780 okay and the army space we trained 37:44.780 --> 37:47.440 interrogators today could be an 37:47.440 --> 37:49.218 interrogator in the in the army 37:49.218 --> 37:51.250 intelligence . You have to ask 37:52.630 --> 37:56.450 18 graded interrogation . 37:57.230 --> 37:59.650 And we used to have to pay again a role 37:59.650 --> 38:01.706 player with a foreign language skill 38:01.950 --> 38:05.100 and 18 interrogation . It takes a lot 38:05.100 --> 38:07.211 of time . So you're spending a lot of 38:07.211 --> 38:09.267 money on that man to man interface . 38:09.267 --> 38:12.200 Well believe it or not . Industry 38:12.200 --> 38:14.690 helped us develop an avatar . I know 38:14.690 --> 38:17.140 I'm scaring the hell out , helped us 38:17.140 --> 38:19.190 develop an avatar that actually 38:19.190 --> 38:22.730 responds to Yeah the individual 38:22.730 --> 38:25.210 that's interacting with human that's 38:25.210 --> 38:27.280 interactive . And so now what we've 38:27.280 --> 38:29.850 decided is instead of 18 live 38:29.850 --> 38:33.090 interrogation , it's nine With the 38:33.090 --> 38:36.180 Avatar and nine live and you save you 38:36.180 --> 38:38.180 save money . The key will be if you 38:38.180 --> 38:40.291 save that money to roll it instead of 38:40.291 --> 38:42.750 taking it , it's to roll it back into 38:43.120 --> 38:45.231 figuring out how to keep doing things 38:45.231 --> 38:47.176 better . There's a there's amazing 38:47.176 --> 38:49.342 things out there that if we leverage I 38:49.342 --> 38:51.176 think we can I think we can find 38:51.176 --> 38:53.231 ourselves in a much better place but 38:53.231 --> 38:55.398 you've got to keep these things happen 38:55.398 --> 38:57.620 most often from the bottom up , not the 38:57.620 --> 38:59.676 top down where I can help you from . 38:59.676 --> 39:01.453 The top down is I can go out to 39:01.453 --> 39:03.620 industry and challenge partner with it 39:03.620 --> 39:05.564 and in some cases they'll come and 39:05.564 --> 39:07.676 spend their own money in order to try 39:07.676 --> 39:09.787 to find a better way for you to train 39:09.787 --> 39:11.898 and educate if they know we're really 39:11.898 --> 39:14.120 committed to it . The challenge up till 39:14.120 --> 39:16.009 now is we've only had a couple of 39:16.009 --> 39:18.176 zealots out there . I happen to be one 39:18.176 --> 39:20.120 of we need everybody to be a salad 39:20.120 --> 39:22.120 about this and I think we'll figure 39:22.120 --> 39:24.140 Thank you very thanks . Yeah . 39:30.320 --> 39:32.264 Good morning sir . Lieutenant Cole 39:32.264 --> 39:34.376 named Hospital Pensacola . We've seen 39:34.376 --> 39:36.431 the successful integration of walter 39:36.431 --> 39:38.320 reed with Bethesda Medical Center 39:38.320 --> 39:40.376 become a joint medical facility . Do 39:40.376 --> 39:42.598 you see more of that in the near future 39:42.598 --> 39:44.820 with the different branches . Are you a 39:44.820 --> 39:46.987 Navy medicine ? Yes , sir . Yeah . Let 39:46.987 --> 39:49.042 me tell you brother , I had cancer a 39:49.042 --> 39:51.209 year ago . I'm about a year , two or 3 39:51.209 --> 39:53.431 months post cancer treatment for throat 39:53.431 --> 39:55.098 cancer . And I was treated at 39:55.098 --> 39:57.209 Portsmouth Reports with Naval Medical 39:57.209 --> 39:59.860 Center , saved my life here . I am a 39:59.860 --> 40:02.082 year and two months later , chairman of 40:02.082 --> 40:04.193 the Joint Chiefs kind of mind numbing 40:04.193 --> 40:06.600 really . So I'm a huge fan . Joint 40:06.600 --> 40:10.040 medicine Walter Reed because the merger 40:10.040 --> 40:12.040 has been successful . It's actually 40:12.040 --> 40:14.096 been most successful at the 06 level 40:14.096 --> 40:16.520 and below we're still kind of walking 40:16.520 --> 40:18.353 around at each other at the flag 40:18.353 --> 40:20.576 officer level . But that's okay , we'll 40:20.576 --> 40:22.687 get through that . So it is a success 40:22.687 --> 40:24.742 story . We've also , we've also made 40:24.742 --> 40:26.909 some inroads and chaplains , chaplains 40:26.909 --> 40:29.020 are all training together at that . I 40:29.020 --> 40:31.242 think it's Fort Jackson South carroll . 40:31.242 --> 40:33.298 So there are opportunities for joint 40:33.298 --> 40:35.464 training and for joint education . But 40:35.464 --> 40:37.631 I do want to also tell you and I and I 40:37.631 --> 40:39.687 think we ought to pursue him . But I 40:39.687 --> 40:41.909 also want to be sure , you know , I'm a 40:41.909 --> 40:44.020 big believer in the four services . I 40:44.020 --> 40:47.540 think that the four cultures , the 40:47.550 --> 40:49.661 different cultures that we each bring 40:50.510 --> 40:52.732 when you get in one room and you have a 40:52.732 --> 40:54.910 diversity of thinking about complex 40:54.910 --> 40:57.940 problems . It's really healthy . So I'm 40:57.940 --> 40:59.996 trying to find the sweet spot if you 40:59.996 --> 41:01.996 will on , you know how much to push 41:01.996 --> 41:04.460 this . But one thing for sure is I want 41:04.460 --> 41:06.293 you all to know , I'm I'm deeply 41:06.293 --> 41:09.130 committed that we retain our service 41:09.510 --> 41:11.800 unique cultures because its diversity 41:11.800 --> 41:15.170 of think that's healthy . But I think 41:15.170 --> 41:17.680 medicine is clearly one of those places 41:18.410 --> 41:20.632 where there are more opportunities that 41:20.632 --> 41:22.354 we haven't really , you know , 41:23.510 --> 41:25.870 pharmaceutical , the procurement , it's 41:25.870 --> 41:28.740 not just services . I mean when you 41:28.740 --> 41:30.750 think about it , each service has a 41:30.750 --> 41:32.210 separate way of procuring 41:32.210 --> 41:34.377 pharmaceuticals . So does the Veterans 41:34.377 --> 41:37.180 Administration , some services have 41:37.210 --> 41:39.230 mostly electronic medical records , 41:39.710 --> 41:42.820 others require , you know , handwritten , 41:43.410 --> 41:45.632 You got to see my medical record by the 41:45.632 --> 41:47.521 way after having cancer . So some 41:47.521 --> 41:50.140 require , you know , these hideously 41:50.390 --> 41:53.940 laborious hand written documentation . 41:54.710 --> 41:57.630 Places like that just makes sense both 41:57.630 --> 41:59.590 in terms of effectiveness but also 41:59.590 --> 42:02.310 efficiency to collapse the system . But 42:02.310 --> 42:04.254 you know , look , there's a lot of 42:04.254 --> 42:06.421 antibodies that we have to fight . You 42:06.421 --> 42:08.643 just , you know , your generation might 42:08.643 --> 42:11.370 actually figure it out . Thanks . Where 42:11.370 --> 42:12.430 else ? Okay . 42:17.800 --> 42:19.740 Most are shot . Navy information 42:19.740 --> 42:21.907 operations in Pensacola florida . Uh , 42:22.200 --> 42:25.810 I remember growing up having 9 11 and 42:25.810 --> 42:27.588 the way it made me feel and how 42:27.588 --> 42:29.699 vulnerable I felt inspired me to join 42:29.699 --> 42:31.866 the military thing about it . I'm in a 42:31.866 --> 42:33.921 situation where I have a little girl 42:33.921 --> 42:37.490 and I wonder if spending cuts to 42:37.490 --> 42:40.220 military also entails spending cuts to 42:40.700 --> 42:42.756 homeland defense against terrorism . 42:43.600 --> 42:47.290 Yes . Did you say spending ? Yes . Uh 42:47.290 --> 42:51.110 huh . Oh , spending cuts . Um , there's 42:51.110 --> 42:53.332 a couple of places already mentioned in 42:53.332 --> 42:55.443 the budget that we've protected . And 42:55.443 --> 42:57.666 actually in some cases growing research 42:57.666 --> 42:59.832 and development science , technology , 42:59.832 --> 43:01.888 special operating forces I . S . R . 43:01.888 --> 43:04.221 We're kind of flat meaning we've got it . 43:04.221 --> 43:06.332 We think we've got enough invested in 43:06.332 --> 43:08.499 it , but we're not gonna take homeland 43:08.499 --> 43:10.610 defense . Did I mention cyber cyber ? 43:10.610 --> 43:13.120 So , um , we 43:14.500 --> 43:17.460 we are not going to risk the homeland . 43:17.470 --> 43:20.330 Now that said , the truth is this is a 43:20.330 --> 43:23.090 new world for us . What I just said , 43:23.090 --> 43:25.257 we're not going to risk the homeland . 43:25.257 --> 43:27.257 I don't really know what that means 43:27.257 --> 43:29.300 seriously Because as we look at the 43:29.300 --> 43:31.467 kind of threats that have evolved over 43:31.467 --> 43:34.520 the last 10 years . They are largely 43:34.530 --> 43:36.586 asymmetric threats . Although on the 43:36.586 --> 43:38.419 other end of it , there are some 43:38.419 --> 43:40.586 technologies and missile technology in 43:40.586 --> 43:42.808 particular that are reaching a point in 43:42.808 --> 43:44.697 some nations that could reach the 43:44.697 --> 43:46.808 homeland . So you've got kind of this 43:46.808 --> 43:48.919 nuclear issue , missile technology to 43:48.919 --> 43:51.086 deliver it . That's kind of one in And 43:51.086 --> 43:53.252 then you've got cyber which I consider 43:53.252 --> 43:55.170 to grave threat to our national 43:55.170 --> 43:57.460 security right now today . And then 43:57.460 --> 43:59.620 you've got kind of the asymmetries of 44:00.190 --> 44:03.770 these groups , non state actors . 44:03.840 --> 44:05.951 That's fundamentally what Al Qaeda is 44:05.951 --> 44:08.062 is a non state terrorist actors , but 44:08.062 --> 44:10.340 they're not , they're not the only one . 44:10.340 --> 44:12.062 There's a Q and A Q affiliated 44:12.062 --> 44:14.430 movements and then some state actors 44:14.440 --> 44:17.050 have surrogates and proxies that will 44:17.050 --> 44:19.106 go unnamed in this setting . But the 44:19.106 --> 44:21.790 point is , so you've got the nuclear 44:21.790 --> 44:23.901 proliferation , missile technology is 44:23.901 --> 44:25.846 round one and cyber kind of on the 44:25.846 --> 44:27.730 other . Both of those could be 44:27.740 --> 44:30.140 catastrophic frames in the middle . 44:30.140 --> 44:32.800 You've got these non state actors and 44:33.290 --> 44:35.670 groups who , because of information 44:35.670 --> 44:37.610 technology have capabilities that 44:37.610 --> 44:40.820 frankly used to be the monopoly of 44:40.820 --> 44:43.110 nation states in the past . So we can't 44:43.920 --> 44:46.960 simply , you know , put the blinders on 44:46.960 --> 44:50.320 and assume that that the world that we 44:50.320 --> 44:52.487 knew when we were in conflict before , 44:52.487 --> 44:54.376 that the United States would be a 44:54.376 --> 44:56.376 sanctuary . It's not . And so we're 44:56.376 --> 44:58.690 trying to map out now with the Service 44:58.690 --> 45:01.490 Chiefs with the combatant , what would 45:01.500 --> 45:04.200 be the demand in the homeland if we 45:04.200 --> 45:06.530 were in a conflict someplace else . And 45:06.530 --> 45:09.060 I'd say we're close to understand . And 45:09.060 --> 45:12.550 then the reason I talked about 2020 Is 45:12.550 --> 45:14.717 we know what force we've just built in 45:14.717 --> 45:16.772 the budget we submitted . That force 45:16.772 --> 45:18.939 will be the force that's built by 17 . 45:18.939 --> 45:21.050 If I'm the chairman four years , I'll 45:21.050 --> 45:23.500 get to submit more budgets . I say that 45:23.510 --> 45:25.732 get to submit , that's like I'll get to 45:25.732 --> 45:27.899 have a root canal . It's something But 45:27.899 --> 45:30.121 I'll get to submit three more budgets . 45:30.121 --> 45:32.343 One that will cover the period 14 18 15 45:32.343 --> 45:35.650 1916 , 20 . So that's what we're trying 45:35.650 --> 45:37.872 to do . What do we need to be in 2020 ? 45:38.090 --> 45:40.880 How do we get there in four bites and 45:40.880 --> 45:42.713 how do we take these new threats 45:43.290 --> 45:45.346 incorporate them into our strategy . 45:45.346 --> 45:47.568 And I think it's a great thanks a lot . 45:47.568 --> 45:49.623 So let me tell you something about , 45:49.623 --> 45:51.790 let me give you some observations here 45:51.790 --> 45:53.623 before I part company with great 45:53.623 --> 45:55.734 questions . I mean , it ran the gamut 45:55.734 --> 45:57.846 of things that are impacting families 45:57.846 --> 46:00.420 too . National security issues . And I 46:00.420 --> 46:02.587 even had the two economic questions in 46:02.587 --> 46:04.890 between my compliments to you for 46:04.900 --> 46:08.410 thinking about the life you're leading 46:08.410 --> 46:10.688 in the United States military . I mean , 46:10.688 --> 46:13.210 I didn't and I go places and sometimes , 46:13.780 --> 46:15.947 you know , sometimes the questions are 46:15.947 --> 46:18.090 frankly a little superficial . You 46:18.090 --> 46:21.100 actually challenged a great deal today 46:21.110 --> 46:23.277 to explain to you what we're trying to 46:23.277 --> 46:25.221 do and I compliment you for that . 46:25.221 --> 46:27.332 Secondly , I want to compliment those 46:27.332 --> 46:30.730 of you in uniform for your service as I 46:30.730 --> 46:33.008 said , you know , you've got all these , 46:33.008 --> 46:35.119 you've got all these echoes of heroes 46:35.119 --> 46:38.000 of our past . So the question for you I 46:38.000 --> 46:41.370 think is are you ready to do your part 46:41.620 --> 46:45.510 and were unbelievable um in 46:45.510 --> 46:47.454 terms of what we've accomplished , 46:48.080 --> 46:50.247 we're not as good as we need to be for 46:50.247 --> 46:52.358 the future . That's the fact that I'm 46:52.358 --> 46:54.524 saying that about myself personally as 46:54.524 --> 46:56.580 well , if you're not waking up every 46:56.580 --> 46:58.802 day wondering what do I , what can I do 46:58.802 --> 47:01.540 to make myself better personally , as a 47:01.550 --> 47:04.200 team ? And importantly as a mentor , if 47:04.200 --> 47:06.256 you're a non commissioned officer in 47:06.256 --> 47:08.200 this audience or an officer , your 47:08.200 --> 47:10.680 responsibility to mentor the generation 47:10.680 --> 47:13.110 that's coming behind you has never been 47:13.110 --> 47:16.110 greater , and I just ask you , you know , 47:16.110 --> 47:18.110 I use the rucksack as the image , I 47:18.110 --> 47:20.221 need you to take that and throw it in 47:20.221 --> 47:22.110 your rucksack and never forget it 47:22.110 --> 47:24.277 because we will get through what we're 47:24.277 --> 47:26.388 going to be faced with if and only if 47:26.480 --> 47:28.536 we continue to care about each other 47:28.536 --> 47:30.702 and develop each other . I really mean 47:30.702 --> 47:32.813 that really mean , and that's kind of 47:32.813 --> 47:35.036 the message that you get in this museum 47:35.036 --> 47:36.924 isn't , or maybe in that image of 47:36.924 --> 47:39.147 Colonel carter and the last thing is if 47:39.147 --> 47:41.450 you're a family member , God bless you , 47:41.460 --> 47:43.738 thanks for sticking with it . You know , 47:43.738 --> 47:45.516 I mean , this has been about as 47:45.516 --> 47:48.010 challenging as 10 years as as I ever 47:48.010 --> 47:51.910 remember and uh huh your support , 47:52.280 --> 47:54.590 You know , it's not just cliche to say 47:55.280 --> 47:57.391 we couldn't do what we do without the 47:57.391 --> 47:59.447 support of our families . And I mean 47:59.447 --> 48:01.558 that whether it's a spouse or whether 48:01.558 --> 48:01.400 it's a child or whether it's a parent , 48:02.080 --> 48:04.247 but we just don't do what we do unless 48:04.247 --> 48:06.358 we got the support of our family . So 48:06.358 --> 48:08.358 if you're here in the audience , my 48:08.358 --> 48:10.302 personal thanks to each of if your 48:10.302 --> 48:12.302 spouse isn't here with you the next 48:12.302 --> 48:14.191 time you're skyping or texting or 48:14.191 --> 48:16.469 speaking probably in that order . Yeah . 48:16.880 --> 48:18.991 Please tell him . I said thanks . And 48:18.991 --> 48:21.213 on behalf of DNA and I and all and your 48:21.213 --> 48:23.710 service chiefs and all of those who are 48:24.280 --> 48:26.502 really proud to lead your God bless you 48:26.502 --> 48:27.502 all , thank you . 48:34.280 --> 48:34.450 Yeah .
