00:00.000 --> 00:02.141
- The opportunity to come
back and retire at the Wing,

00:02.141 --> 00:06.246
instead of retire out of the
Pentagon, was truly a gift.

00:06.246 --> 00:08.058
To come back and work with the airmen

00:08.058 --> 00:09.766
and be at the wing level and unit level,

00:09.766 --> 00:11.225
where the mission is,

00:11.225 --> 00:14.225
and that is rewarding, in of itself.

00:15.550 --> 00:20.550
My proudest moment was the
effort that everyone put forth

00:20.664 --> 00:22.733
for the hurricane relief.

00:22.733 --> 00:27.009
We had people working 18 hour
days, nobody was complaining,

00:27.009 --> 00:28.693
everybody was leaning forward.

00:28.693 --> 00:31.073
They knew it mattered,
they knew we had a mission,

00:31.073 --> 00:33.748
they knew that people were in distress,

00:33.748 --> 00:36.504
and people just stepped up.

00:36.504 --> 00:37.677
And so it's going to be an adjustment.

00:37.677 --> 00:41.084
I'm definitely going to fly more

00:41.084 --> 00:44.001
because I've always bid my schedule

00:45.121 --> 00:48.995
based on my Air Force
requirements and now,

00:48.995 --> 00:51.608
I will bid my schedule
around personal events.

00:51.608 --> 00:54.222
So some spare time, maybe pick up a hobby.

00:54.222 --> 00:57.183
Maybe my golf game will
get better, maybe it won't.

00:57.183 --> 01:00.766
Hopefully sail a little
bit, but right now,

01:01.702 --> 01:03.378
I'm just going to have to
see how it all plays out.

01:03.378 --> 01:07.172
Because I've been a
reservist, just a reservist,

01:07.172 --> 01:10.115
for 22 years and that was after
eight years of active duty.

01:10.115 --> 01:14.698
So I don't know anything
other than two jobs right now.

01:15.843 --> 01:19.417
Keep doing what you're doing,
mentor your young airmen,

01:19.417 --> 01:23.424
and get out of your comfort zone and grow.

01:23.424 --> 01:27.516
If you're comfortable,
then you're stagnant.

01:27.516 --> 01:29.962
And so stay uncomfortable

01:29.962 --> 01:31.832
and just keep doing the
job you guys are doing.

01:31.832 --> 01:34.617
It's been amazing serving with you guys.
