00:00.225 --> 00:02.301
- Pretty excited about seeing how

00:02.301 --> 00:05.431
Brooke Army Medical Center operationalizes

00:05.431 --> 00:09.181
the new regulation coming out of MedCom 40-50

00:10.386 --> 00:11.689
that gets after how we're gonna

00:11.689 --> 00:14.272
train our enlisted technicians.

00:15.394 --> 00:17.186
- That's gonna be interesting to see, sir.

00:17.186 --> 00:18.654
I think it's gonna create some

00:18.654 --> 00:20.398
culture change to say the least.

00:20.398 --> 00:23.686
- Well we need that, because I'm concerned

00:23.686 --> 00:27.519
that when we send our medics to go down range,

00:27.588 --> 00:31.327
they're not ready to do their full scope of practice.

00:31.327 --> 00:33.276
They have been relegated to do

00:33.276 --> 00:36.043
less than their full scope while they're here,

00:36.043 --> 00:39.817
and that's something we gotta make sure that we get across,

00:39.817 --> 00:41.768
because at the end of the day

00:41.768 --> 00:43.762
it's about making sure that we're ready.

00:43.762 --> 00:47.345
So major, why aren't you over here with me?

00:48.726 --> 00:51.008
- Well sir, we say we want me to be ready to do

00:51.008 --> 00:54.177
my wartime mission, but how am I gonna achieve readiness

00:54.177 --> 00:57.423
if I'm not allowed to practice my full scope of practice?

00:57.423 --> 01:00.395
- That's imperative, we have to do that.

01:00.395 --> 01:03.134
If we are having you do something different here

01:03.134 --> 01:06.791
than what you're doing when we expect you to deploy,

01:06.791 --> 01:09.477
that's not gonna be a successful way forward.

01:09.477 --> 01:12.282
We need you to be on the playing field,

01:12.282 --> 01:14.782
not standing on the sidelines.

01:14.804 --> 01:18.913
Making sure that we have you executing here in garrison

01:18.913 --> 01:22.451
the same way that you are as if you were deployed.

01:22.451 --> 01:24.847
That includes all the way down to our 68 whiskeys,

01:24.847 --> 01:28.382
and every other enlisted MOS that's out there.

01:28.382 --> 01:31.307
- Right, sir. In order for me to do my job of war,

01:31.307 --> 01:33.950
I have to be able to train to the full scope of my practice,

01:33.950 --> 01:35.662
and we have to get after that.

01:35.662 --> 01:39.728
- I don't think I can have you on the sideline anymore,

01:39.728 --> 01:42.947
I have to have you on the playing field.

01:42.947 --> 01:46.114
Using your skills, using your talents,

01:46.163 --> 01:49.169
those talents we know that our enlisted members have;

01:49.169 --> 01:52.019
in order to be able to move this organization forward.

01:52.019 --> 01:55.434
Not only for readiness, but also to accomplish

01:55.434 --> 01:58.558
the mission that we have here in front of us today.

01:58.558 --> 01:59.903
- Agreed, sir. We need to rally

01:59.903 --> 02:02.100
the troops and get everybody involved,

02:02.100 --> 02:04.419
cause this is gonna be a major culture change.

02:04.419 --> 02:08.039
- I want you to be able to join me in everything that I do.

02:08.039 --> 02:11.975
- Acknowledged, sir. I wanna get on the playing field.

02:11.975 --> 02:15.475
(triumphant string music)
