Thank 00:14.897 --> 00:16.952 you for being with us this morning . 00:18.310 --> 00:22.030 Welcome . Now I know that you basically 00:22.030 --> 00:24.490 run what people are doing there the day 00:24.490 --> 00:26.490 to day operations . Tell me exactly 00:26.490 --> 00:28.400 what you're doing heeled 00:28.410 --> 00:31.860 basically . My day entails . 00:31.870 --> 00:35.840 Uh I'm also I'm the company very 00:35.840 --> 00:38.020 garden , which entails ensuring that 00:38.020 --> 00:39.964 all the taskers and the day to day 00:39.964 --> 00:42.076 operations within the company and the 00:42.076 --> 00:44.320 marines um get completed . I get task 00:44.320 --> 00:46.431 from my company commander , the first 00:46.431 --> 00:48.487 garden um to ensure that the marines 00:48.487 --> 00:50.620 are doing their job and following 00:50.630 --> 00:52.852 through on their mission and their task 00:52.852 --> 00:55.019 is that they're supposed to do as well 00:55.019 --> 00:57.074 as the training that we conduct over 00:57.074 --> 00:59.241 here . I'm also the staff and so I see 00:59.241 --> 01:01.130 over the training section and the 01:01.130 --> 01:03.352 operations , so ensure that the marines 01:03.352 --> 01:05.519 or whatever classes we might have that 01:05.519 --> 01:07.463 are going on for training that the 01:07.463 --> 01:07.290 lobsters are there . The training is 01:07.300 --> 01:09.244 set up and then just basically the 01:09.244 --> 01:11.411 functioning of what happens on the day 01:11.411 --> 01:13.633 to day with the rest of the marines and 01:13.633 --> 01:16.460 the company . I was training , do you 01:16.460 --> 01:20.270 see a lot of uh disheartened soldiers 01:20.270 --> 01:22.920 are we're out pretty good over there 01:23.790 --> 01:25.901 where I was actually pretty good . Um 01:25.901 --> 01:28.123 We have a lot of amenities you probably 01:28.123 --> 01:30.234 wouldn't assume that we did . So it's 01:30.234 --> 01:32.280 it's really fairly well 01:34.680 --> 01:36.680 and I understand that you have your 01:36.680 --> 01:39.120 gold wings being a parachute rigger . 01:39.130 --> 01:42.950 I'm a little bit about that . I 01:42.960 --> 01:45.760 do um a parachute rigger . And 01:45.760 --> 01:47.982 basically I've done the airborne school 01:47.982 --> 01:50.730 um in my that's my primary mls being a 01:50.730 --> 01:52.952 company general garden and ability that 01:52.952 --> 01:55.500 you hold once you become not every gun 01:55.500 --> 01:57.556 restarting gifted it to build within 01:57.556 --> 01:59.667 the company . But my primary mos is a 01:59.667 --> 02:01.889 parachute Riggers . We packed personnel 02:01.889 --> 02:03.889 parachute . We also do um we packed 02:03.889 --> 02:07.020 cargo shoots for airdrops . Um out of 02:07.030 --> 02:08.808 aircraft , either a fixing or a 02:08.808 --> 02:11.870 helicopter . And uh we jump as rigors . 02:11.880 --> 02:14.650 We parachute either some some parachute 02:14.650 --> 02:16.706 Riggers are what we call static line 02:16.706 --> 02:18.706 parachutes and other some parachute 02:18.706 --> 02:21.300 Riggers are also free call qualified . 02:21.310 --> 02:23.520 So they do free called uh parachuting 02:23.520 --> 02:27.220 as well . You are one of 02:27.230 --> 02:29.110 you female marines have that 02:29.110 --> 02:31.277 certification and in fact your one and 02:31.277 --> 02:33.443 only a few of the few female marines . 02:33.443 --> 02:35.770 How is your experience in any different 02:35.780 --> 02:37.224 than a different marine ? 02:37.224 --> 02:41.190 Um On some 02:41.190 --> 02:43.412 respect , it's harder for us at times . 02:43.412 --> 02:46.190 My mos per se is a pretty small mos 02:46.200 --> 02:48.400 where there's only a approximately 180 02:48.400 --> 02:51.820 marines in my Mos . And of that 8100 02:51.820 --> 02:54.980 and 80 there's about 12 females . I'm 02:54.980 --> 02:57.202 currently the senior female and I . M . 02:57.202 --> 02:59.369 O . S . So it was , it was pretty much 02:59.369 --> 03:01.591 going into a man's world . I mean green 03:01.591 --> 03:03.313 priority is as a man royalty . 03:03.313 --> 03:05.536 Sometimes you have to work a little bit 03:05.536 --> 03:07.758 harder . But as long as you proved your 03:07.758 --> 03:07.720 job and prove that you are capable of 03:07.720 --> 03:10.110 doing the job . Um , once that was 03:10.110 --> 03:12.054 accomplished , pretty much , we're 03:12.054 --> 03:14.221 right in there with everyone else . So 03:14.221 --> 03:16.332 it's just depending on where you were 03:16.332 --> 03:16.240 going . Sometimes it's harder and you 03:16.240 --> 03:18.407 just have to step up to the great more 03:18.407 --> 03:21.620 you find that you have to be more hard 03:21.620 --> 03:23.509 nosed to get the respect that you 03:23.509 --> 03:26.920 deserve at times . 03:26.930 --> 03:30.830 Um , being the company dunny . Um , you 03:30.830 --> 03:33.052 have to be pretty aggressive or sort of 03:33.052 --> 03:35.220 in your job and tasking because not 03:35.220 --> 03:38.620 everybody likes to support what you 03:38.620 --> 03:40.842 have to do and in order to get your job 03:40.842 --> 03:42.953 accomplishing your job mission , your 03:42.953 --> 03:45.064 mission accomplished that you've been 03:45.064 --> 03:47.176 passed from those are above you . You 03:47.176 --> 03:49.287 kind of have to be certain in the way 03:49.287 --> 03:51.398 you handle certain things and get the 03:51.398 --> 03:53.398 job done because that's the overall 03:53.398 --> 03:55.620 goal is to accomplish the mission . And 03:55.620 --> 03:57.676 sometimes that takes assertiveness . 03:57.676 --> 03:59.898 You know , I think any woman in a power 03:59.900 --> 04:01.844 position of power understands that 04:01.844 --> 04:03.990 feeling and here's a little bit . So 04:03.990 --> 04:06.157 you're involved with the Iraqi Women's 04:06.157 --> 04:08.212 Engagement . Explain to us what that 04:08.212 --> 04:11.710 program is . Your Iraqi Women's 04:11.710 --> 04:15.040 engagement is a program that we work in 04:15.040 --> 04:18.630 conjunction with the Iraqi Police and 04:18.640 --> 04:20.418 the local security forces , the 04:20.418 --> 04:23.070 coalition forces to go out to Iraqi 04:23.070 --> 04:25.181 villages . If we first get permission 04:25.181 --> 04:27.403 to go there from the leadership in that 04:27.403 --> 04:29.310 village through the Iraqis and we 04:29.310 --> 04:32.690 provide a medical service to the Iraqi 04:32.690 --> 04:34.746 village . Sometimes we bring our own 04:34.746 --> 04:36.912 medical personnel but other times they 04:36.912 --> 04:39.023 have their own medical personnel , we 04:39.023 --> 04:42.330 just compliment whatever um whatever uh 04:42.340 --> 04:44.562 medical providing that they're going to 04:44.562 --> 04:46.618 be doing . So we just help assist in 04:46.618 --> 04:48.896 the flow of the women and the Children . 04:48.896 --> 04:51.062 Because obviously in this culture they 04:51.062 --> 04:53.007 take the women and Children in the 04:53.007 --> 04:55.173 different areas and they do the men so 04:55.173 --> 04:55.160 they want women there to help 04:55.170 --> 04:57.114 facilitate and doing that with the 04:57.114 --> 04:59.170 women doctors and the women nurses . 04:59.170 --> 05:01.281 And it's really a cooperative medical 05:01.281 --> 05:04.480 um engagement that we do with the Iraqi 05:04.480 --> 05:06.591 police . We are not in charge of it , 05:06.591 --> 05:08.702 it's totally set up by them . We just 05:08.702 --> 05:10.702 compliment them an assistant and in 05:10.702 --> 05:13.960 everything that they do with . Now in 05:13.960 --> 05:16.071 your bio , speaking about culture and 05:16.071 --> 05:18.016 your bio , you said outside of our 05:18.016 --> 05:19.849 culture language into geographic 05:19.849 --> 05:22.280 location more alike than we are 05:22.280 --> 05:24.100 different now where some of the 05:24.110 --> 05:27.080 similarities that you're talking about 05:27.090 --> 05:30.680 um just in our 05:30.680 --> 05:32.791 interaction and how we've done , just 05:32.791 --> 05:34.791 like I said , this is my third time 05:34.791 --> 05:37.013 here and each time I've had a different 05:37.013 --> 05:39.013 level of interaction with the Iraqi 05:39.013 --> 05:41.124 people . Um the last time it was more 05:41.124 --> 05:43.069 on the military level , I was very 05:43.069 --> 05:44.902 involved with the Iraqi military 05:44.902 --> 05:47.013 portion of the leadership they lifted 05:47.013 --> 05:49.124 and so forth . Whereas this time I've 05:49.124 --> 05:51.069 had more of an engagement with the 05:51.069 --> 05:53.124 civilian population and you watch um 05:53.124 --> 05:55.236 being a being a mom and understanding 05:55.236 --> 05:57.236 how we interact with our Children , 05:57.236 --> 05:59.291 watching the women and Children here 05:59.291 --> 06:01.513 and how they interact with each other . 06:01.513 --> 06:03.680 It's really no different . I mean they 06:03.680 --> 06:05.847 correct in the same way they love them 06:05.847 --> 06:08.610 the same way they fondle them or they 06:08.620 --> 06:10.787 show affection and love to them in the 06:10.787 --> 06:13.740 same way . Um , just in any way that 06:13.740 --> 06:15.962 you can think of being a parent or even 06:15.962 --> 06:18.073 the way we interact with each other , 06:18.073 --> 06:20.184 it's really no different . Especially 06:20.184 --> 06:22.240 there was times when you would see a 06:22.240 --> 06:24.462 mother holding a child and you would go 06:24.462 --> 06:26.684 to , um , touch the child and the child 06:26.684 --> 06:28.740 would bury their head in their mom's 06:28.740 --> 06:30.907 neck or Children kind of turn away and 06:30.907 --> 06:33.129 shy away , which is really no different 06:33.129 --> 06:35.184 than what mike Mike Tyson did when I 06:35.184 --> 06:37.296 was holding them when he was a baby . 06:37.296 --> 06:37.280 So I guess that's what I mean by us 06:37.290 --> 06:39.568 being more alike than we are different . 06:39.568 --> 06:41.846 We want the same things for our family . 06:41.846 --> 06:44.068 We want security and we want , um , the 06:44.068 --> 06:46.370 freedom to live and raise our Children 06:46.370 --> 06:48.592 and , and have all the freedoms that we 06:48.592 --> 06:50.926 all know that they just don't know . So , 06:50.926 --> 06:52.870 I mean they want the same types of 06:52.870 --> 06:54.870 freedoms and securities that we all 06:54.870 --> 06:57.560 want back in the states now working 06:57.560 --> 07:00.050 with the civilians , you find sometimes 07:00.060 --> 07:02.420 they're asking you saying , hey , we do 07:02.420 --> 07:04.420 want these freedoms , thank you for 07:04.420 --> 07:07.770 being here all the time . It was 07:07.780 --> 07:09.780 unbelievable . Um , the interaction 07:09.780 --> 07:11.836 that I've had , even in the last two 07:11.836 --> 07:13.891 departments and I was here . um they 07:13.891 --> 07:16.120 would say all the time , thank you for 07:16.120 --> 07:18.670 being here and thank you for giving us 07:18.680 --> 07:21.510 the a second chance . Um I heard them 07:21.510 --> 07:24.940 say that they've had a rebirth or a new 07:24.950 --> 07:27.120 birthday for themselves as far as the 07:27.130 --> 07:30.980 freedom of their country . Um They 07:30.990 --> 07:33.212 asked for different things that I can't 07:33.212 --> 07:35.323 provide to them outside of you know , 07:35.323 --> 07:37.379 just being there , but they are very 07:37.379 --> 07:39.434 appreciative and they appreciate the 07:39.434 --> 07:41.601 fact that we are here . When I went on 07:41.601 --> 07:43.546 the Iraqi Women's engagement , the 07:43.546 --> 07:45.601 medical engagement . Um most of them 07:45.601 --> 07:47.768 said that they hadn't had water before 07:47.768 --> 07:49.990 running water and now they were getting 07:49.990 --> 07:52.046 it . It wasn't completely to what we 07:52.046 --> 07:51.790 know , but it was something more than 07:51.790 --> 07:54.180 what they had before . They felt uh 07:54.190 --> 07:56.190 secure because they're Iraqi police 07:56.190 --> 07:58.730 were there in their village , they felt 07:58.730 --> 08:00.730 very secure when they would see the 08:00.730 --> 08:02.730 marine patrols or something of that 08:02.730 --> 08:04.730 nature . So they all have always my 08:04.730 --> 08:06.841 interaction that all of them has been 08:06.841 --> 08:09.710 very positive across the board . What 08:09.720 --> 08:11.720 what a blessing to the people . You 08:11.720 --> 08:15.240 ever find any of the opposite are upset 08:15.250 --> 08:19.110 that you're there . I'm sure 08:19.110 --> 08:21.332 they're there but personally for myself 08:21.332 --> 08:22.999 I haven't seen it . I haven't 08:22.999 --> 08:25.110 experienced it . Um obviously there's 08:25.110 --> 08:27.110 some people that don't want to hear 08:27.110 --> 08:29.332 because they would be fighting us , but 08:29.332 --> 08:31.277 for me personally and the everyday 08:31.277 --> 08:33.277 average ordinary person that is out 08:33.277 --> 08:35.110 there doing just living a normal 08:35.110 --> 08:37.990 everyday life . Um I didn't experience 08:37.990 --> 08:40.212 anything really negative . The kids are 08:40.212 --> 08:42.720 adorable , they want to talk to you , 08:42.720 --> 08:44.887 they want to play with you , they want 08:44.887 --> 08:47.109 to touch you , they want you to talk to 08:47.109 --> 08:49.331 them , talk to me , I speak english , A 08:49.331 --> 08:51.680 lot of them will say to me what a neat 08:51.680 --> 08:53.680 experience how often in your bio it 08:53.680 --> 08:55.680 says that you are very dedicated to 08:55.680 --> 08:57.770 your hey you try to be an example of 08:57.780 --> 08:59.780 christian values that are sometimes 08:59.780 --> 09:01.780 overlooked in the military . Do you 09:01.780 --> 09:04.210 have an example you can share with the 09:04.220 --> 09:07.700 christian ? Um 09:07.710 --> 09:11.480 you know I just every day I 09:11.480 --> 09:15.420 try to make sure that I'm getting 09:15.430 --> 09:17.780 obviously the lord is a big part of my 09:17.780 --> 09:20.002 life and being a christian is very very 09:20.002 --> 09:22.240 important to me . So a lot of what I do 09:22.240 --> 09:24.462 as a leader and a lot of what I do as a 09:24.462 --> 09:26.620 marine is doing it to the best of my 09:26.620 --> 09:30.150 ability and the way that I I um look 09:30.150 --> 09:33.170 at examples in the , in the scripture 09:33.170 --> 09:35.281 Nehemiah was an awesome leader , he's 09:35.281 --> 09:37.226 like one of my heroes and I try to 09:37.226 --> 09:39.500 implement that and uh improvise that in 09:39.500 --> 09:41.670 my my life as far as being a leader to 09:41.670 --> 09:45.390 the marines and just um using it 09:45.390 --> 09:47.612 whenever I can to guide them or if they 09:47.612 --> 09:50.100 have a question if it comes up and 09:50.100 --> 09:52.920 using it as a daily example to them , 09:53.360 --> 09:56.530 I'm sure your example to your your son 09:56.530 --> 09:59.020 as well as you serve over there in Iraq , 09:59.070 --> 10:01.420 What is a personal goal that you have 10:01.430 --> 10:03.041 this time while you're there 10:03.041 --> 10:06.890 um 10:06.900 --> 10:10.890 a personal goal to make more of 10:10.890 --> 10:12.779 a difference . I'm in a different 10:12.779 --> 10:14.779 leadership capacity than I was last 10:14.779 --> 10:17.200 time . Um and I have the opportunity to 10:17.200 --> 10:19.590 touch a whole lot of different marines 10:19.590 --> 10:21.701 that not necessarily within my direct 10:21.701 --> 10:23.812 charge and to make an impact in their 10:23.812 --> 10:26.220 life um and walk away from here that 10:26.220 --> 10:29.270 they see being out here is a vital 10:29.270 --> 10:32.540 asset to what we do with marines and to 10:32.540 --> 10:35.060 bring something back to the states so 10:35.060 --> 10:36.949 that people see that there's good 10:36.949 --> 10:39.004 things going on here and not all the 10:39.004 --> 10:41.060 bad stuff that you hear about on the 10:41.060 --> 10:43.116 news or the media and that the small 10:43.116 --> 10:45.282 things that matter out here . Um maybe 10:45.282 --> 10:47.227 if they just see that for once and 10:47.227 --> 10:49.393 it'll make somebody changed their mind 10:49.393 --> 10:51.560 about , you know that we're not making 10:51.560 --> 10:53.616 a difference out there and we really 10:53.616 --> 10:56.120 are you mentioned the news with it 10:56.120 --> 10:58.009 being an election year , a lot of 10:58.009 --> 10:59.898 people are talking about the next 10:59.898 --> 11:02.120 president will be and what with the war 11:02.120 --> 11:04.287 in Iraq soldier , what do you hope the 11:04.490 --> 11:05.220 president ? 11:07.230 --> 11:09.930 Um 11:10.950 --> 11:14.300 wow , that's a pretty deep question I 11:14.310 --> 11:17.910 spoke . They do what's right for where 11:17.910 --> 11:19.910 the military is going and that they 11:19.910 --> 11:22.470 take the steps that are gonna make the 11:22.470 --> 11:25.900 military or positive influence in their 11:25.900 --> 11:29.690 presidency . Now 11:29.690 --> 11:32.250 what's the hardest part appointments 11:34.780 --> 11:37.900 being away from my family by far 11:37.910 --> 11:41.170 uh the amenities and uh my car , 11:41.170 --> 11:43.226 anything that we can think of this , 11:43.226 --> 11:45.170 The interaction with my friend was 11:45.170 --> 11:47.226 talking to my son on the phone or my 11:47.226 --> 11:49.448 husband and being away from some of the 11:49.448 --> 11:51.448 things that he does it for school . 11:51.448 --> 11:53.337 He's 10 years old . So he's going 11:53.337 --> 11:55.559 through a lot of changes and he's going 11:55.559 --> 11:57.781 to be a big sixth grader next year . So 11:57.781 --> 11:57.230 just getting ready for that . That's 11:57.230 --> 11:59.960 probably the hardest is just being away 12:00.040 --> 12:02.860 from my my son even go home . 12:02.870 --> 12:06.100 Uh Hopefully in a few months . I'm not 12:06.100 --> 12:08.160 exactly sure . 12:08.170 --> 12:12.000 Uh why did you choose this 12:12.010 --> 12:14.600 career knowing that you would be away 12:14.600 --> 12:18.050 from your family part of the time ? Uh 12:18.060 --> 12:21.050 a lot of people ask him that . Um 12:21.060 --> 12:24.890 uh It because I wanted to be in the 12:24.890 --> 12:27.370 military and the Marine corps was the 12:27.370 --> 12:29.650 top of the line . I I if I couldn't be 12:29.650 --> 12:31.817 in the Marine corps , I didn't want to 12:31.817 --> 12:34.220 be in anything else . I just it's kind 12:34.220 --> 12:36.387 of hard to explain . I guess it's just 12:36.387 --> 12:38.553 there . It's part of who you are . You 12:38.553 --> 12:41.090 haven't um you have a desire for it . 12:41.090 --> 12:43.257 But once you get there , you know that 12:43.257 --> 12:45.479 that's exactly where you're supposed to 12:45.479 --> 12:47.812 be and all the stuff that comes with it . 12:47.812 --> 12:47.770 You just accept it because it's part of 12:47.770 --> 12:49.900 what we do and I wouldn't change it . 12:49.910 --> 12:53.050 Um My husband's marine as well . And 12:53.060 --> 12:55.300 yeah we're apart and were separated but 12:55.310 --> 12:57.421 I wouldn't ask him to change anything 12:57.421 --> 13:00.190 either . Um It's just a goal in a 13:00.200 --> 13:02.144 career that you can't even explain 13:02.144 --> 13:05.250 unless you're there as those . Uh I 13:05.260 --> 13:07.538 don't blame you . I can't wait to that . 13:07.538 --> 13:09.704 You have to follow your passion line . 13:09.704 --> 13:11.704 What's made it easier for you to be 13:11.704 --> 13:15.450 there ? Um You have to 13:15.450 --> 13:17.620 talk to my family . I can almost call 13:17.620 --> 13:19.620 home every day if I so choose . And 13:19.620 --> 13:22.760 also being able to use email . We also 13:22.760 --> 13:25.740 have had the opportunity to use the uh 13:25.750 --> 13:28.420 video teleconferencing which I've done 13:28.420 --> 13:30.640 that with my son and my my parents and 13:30.640 --> 13:33.030 my husband . And that was incredible . 13:33.030 --> 13:35.197 I didn't do it the last time because I 13:35.197 --> 13:37.363 was here and I think my son really got 13:37.363 --> 13:39.419 a kick out of it because you like to 13:39.419 --> 13:41.474 see me on a big screen T . V . And I 13:41.474 --> 13:43.474 could see him and it almost made it 13:43.474 --> 13:45.530 life like so that's been a huge plus 13:45.530 --> 13:47.419 and then being able to talk to my 13:47.419 --> 13:49.530 husband um and call him and just talk 13:49.530 --> 13:51.363 about our day to day stuff and I 13:51.363 --> 13:53.530 usually get to call home at night . So 13:53.530 --> 13:53.480 I get to talk to my son before he goes 13:53.490 --> 13:55.490 to bed . So I get to talk about the 13:55.490 --> 13:57.657 things that he's done at school and um 13:57.657 --> 13:59.879 what's the next day is going to be like 13:59.879 --> 14:02.046 almost as if I'm there outside of just 14:02.046 --> 14:04.212 not being able to give him a hug and a 14:04.212 --> 14:06.268 kiss . Goodnight . I'm still able to 14:06.268 --> 14:08.379 basically put him to sleep at night . 14:08.379 --> 14:08.150 So that's kind of that's been a really 14:08.160 --> 14:11.290 great blessing . Um well that's 14:11.290 --> 14:14.000 wonderful technology . Do you have any 14:14.010 --> 14:16.230 like share with our viewers before we 14:16.230 --> 14:16.790 end ? 14:16.800 --> 14:21.680 Um 14:21.690 --> 14:24.100 you know , I know that the words big 14:24.100 --> 14:25.989 controversy but there are so many 14:25.989 --> 14:28.100 awesome and great things here and the 14:28.100 --> 14:31.870 Iraqi people have tongue to offer and 14:31.880 --> 14:35.540 if they could just see that and know 14:35.540 --> 14:37.762 that we're here making a difference and 14:37.762 --> 14:39.984 it is really truly and I'm not it's not 14:39.984 --> 14:42.710 just um it's not just tight , it's 14:42.710 --> 14:45.420 really all of us feel the same way . So 14:45.430 --> 14:47.597 if I could tell anybody out there that 14:47.597 --> 14:49.541 if they ever wonder if it's really 14:49.541 --> 14:51.652 making a difference or were impacting 14:51.652 --> 14:53.874 the people here or we want to be here , 14:53.874 --> 14:56.097 we want to be here and we are impacting 14:56.097 --> 14:57.874 them and it is worth it and the 14:57.874 --> 14:59.930 differences are small . But you know 14:59.930 --> 15:01.930 what ? There are 10 times more than 15:01.930 --> 15:03.763 they ever were five years ago or 15:03.763 --> 15:03.665 whatever these people had ever even 15:03.665 --> 15:06.335 hoped that they could have come to . So 15:06.345 --> 15:09.345 it's , I'd say if I was single , I 15:09.345 --> 15:11.456 probably heard all the time , but I'm 15:11.456 --> 15:15.155 not so well thank you so much for 15:15.155 --> 15:17.155 talking with tammy belleville .
