WEBVTT

00:00.040 --> 00:02.620

00:10.250 --> 00:12.361
are you doing here ? I'm Sergeant E .

00:12.361 --> 00:14.583
Five and the human resources sergeant .

00:14.583 --> 00:16.694
I'm uh basically do all the personnel

00:16.694 --> 00:19.140
issues and uh Okay . And then where you

00:19.140 --> 00:20.862
stationed out of and where you

00:20.862 --> 00:22.807
currently um stationed out of fort

00:22.807 --> 00:24.973
Eustis Virginia . And I'm currently in

00:24.973 --> 00:27.220
fog . Um Afghanistan . Okay . Uh Well ,

00:27.220 --> 00:29.331
let's dive into this right here . But

00:29.331 --> 00:31.109
you have any tattoos ? Yes . Uh

00:31.109 --> 00:32.942
basically , uh if you don't mind

00:32.942 --> 00:34.998
sharing some of the appropriate what

00:34.998 --> 00:37.053
you have and what they need to you .

00:37.053 --> 00:39.380
Okay right now , I have four tattoos .

00:39.390 --> 00:42.000
Um One that I can share it on my left

00:42.010 --> 00:45.050
uh left arm . I have a picture of an

00:45.060 --> 00:47.410
angel praying over my kids and all my

00:47.420 --> 00:49.476
kids names under . And it just means

00:49.476 --> 00:51.531
something to me because I still work

00:51.531 --> 00:53.420
from home so much . So I got that

00:53.420 --> 00:55.420
tattoo just to symbolize how , even

00:55.420 --> 00:57.531
though I'm away , I'm always watching

00:57.531 --> 00:59.864
all my Children . Uh That's really cool .

00:59.864 --> 01:01.753
And uh how many kids you have ? I

01:01.753 --> 01:03.976
thought , all right , congratulations .

01:03.976 --> 01:06.670
Uh basically , let's see uh the army

01:06.670 --> 01:08.892
regulations . How do you feel about the

01:08.892 --> 01:12.240
army tattoo regulations ? Um I feel the

01:12.240 --> 01:14.740
tattoos a personal thing , but the way

01:14.740 --> 01:16.796
the regulations have changed how you

01:16.796 --> 01:19.073
have tattoos on your neck in your hand .

01:19.073 --> 01:21.184
I think it hinders performance in the

01:21.184 --> 01:23.240
army because you know when you start

01:23.240 --> 01:25.351
going before boards to get promoted ,

01:25.351 --> 01:27.240
those boards ? Actually give your

01:27.240 --> 01:29.351
photos . So they see those tattoos on

01:29.351 --> 01:28.980
your neck and they see those cases on

01:28.980 --> 01:30.980
your hand . And even if the tattoos

01:30.980 --> 01:33.280
that are not offensive , they kind of

01:33.280 --> 01:35.820
look at them and they label you , I

01:35.830 --> 01:37.890
just think it kind of is that do you

01:37.890 --> 01:39.946
think uh you think that you can be a

01:39.946 --> 01:42.112
professional person like because we're

01:42.112 --> 01:44.223
very professional , medical , we do a

01:44.223 --> 01:46.112
professional job . Even if you're

01:46.112 --> 01:48.223
driving hotlines where you're working

01:48.223 --> 01:50.112
in the pentagon bringing security

01:50.112 --> 01:52.223
professionals , you think that we can

01:52.223 --> 01:52.100
be considered professional ? We still

01:52.100 --> 01:55.940
have that . I think that we personally

01:55.950 --> 01:58.061
can consider ourselves professional ,

01:58.061 --> 02:01.110
but the outside looking in , if you see

02:01.110 --> 02:03.277
someone who has a lot of tattoos , you

02:03.277 --> 02:05.332
tend to think that , you know , they

02:05.332 --> 02:07.054
get , oh , not professional or

02:07.054 --> 02:09.166
something like that . So I just think

02:09.166 --> 02:11.332
that the non military personnel , they

02:11.332 --> 02:13.499
don't look at us this professional and

02:13.499 --> 02:15.666
they see the taxes on the neck and the

02:15.666 --> 02:18.460
hands and all that stuff . Uh , it's

02:18.460 --> 02:20.560
really exciting that uh , we'll be

02:20.570 --> 02:22.570
talking about already mentioned the

02:22.570 --> 02:24.514
boards , other military people and

02:24.514 --> 02:26.737
other government people looking at it .

02:26.737 --> 02:28.848
And I said whether we're professional

02:28.848 --> 02:30.959
or not based upon what we have in our

02:30.959 --> 02:30.820
bodies , but what about our public

02:30.820 --> 02:33.042
interested non service members ? How do

02:33.042 --> 02:36.480
you think that effective ? Um , I

02:36.490 --> 02:38.712
really don't know if it affects it much

02:38.712 --> 02:40.879
because I think it puts us on the same

02:40.880 --> 02:43.102
Children , like they can relate to us ,

02:43.102 --> 02:45.213
you know , because me before I joined

02:45.213 --> 02:47.269
the military , I saw the military is

02:47.269 --> 02:49.380
some powerful force that , you know ,

02:49.380 --> 02:51.436
they walked straight up . They never

02:51.436 --> 02:53.380
been they never break the rules or

02:53.380 --> 02:55.436
anything like that . I just think it

02:55.436 --> 02:55.160
puts us on the same level of civilians

02:55.170 --> 02:57.226
unless I know that we're still human

02:57.226 --> 02:59.337
beings , even though we do a job that

02:59.337 --> 03:01.559
they don't do , we're still the same as

03:01.559 --> 03:03.503
all right , very good . That fella

03:03.503 --> 03:05.559
happens . You know ? Uh , and then I

03:05.559 --> 03:05.050
just want to

03:05.060 --> 03:12.910
uh
