00:00.000 --> 00:03.740
- Today, so I was thinking
we're all freaking muddy

00:03.740 --> 00:08.100
and we want to get clean,
and here's an example

00:08.100 --> 00:09.690
of something to kinda
put through your head.

00:09.690 --> 00:13.260
Take a bucket of water, right,

00:13.260 --> 00:14.313
bucket of water,

00:15.570 --> 00:17.047
You stick your hand in
this bucket of water

00:17.047 --> 00:20.750
and you can splash it around.

00:20.750 --> 00:23.250
Take your hand out of that
bucket of water though,

00:25.210 --> 00:27.773
the bucket is exactly the same,

00:29.310 --> 00:31.140
it's exactly the same.

00:31.140 --> 00:32.980
Now, you're like, hey
what the hell's he talking

00:32.980 --> 00:34.359
about this bucket for?

00:34.359 --> 00:37.030
(crowd laughs)

00:37.030 --> 00:41.233
Think about it from a
leadership perspective,

00:43.310 --> 00:47.423
how you lead your marines
and sailors every single day,

00:48.450 --> 00:50.850
You can get marines and
sailors to do a lot of stuff,

00:50.850 --> 00:53.453
and you can get compliance,

00:54.710 --> 00:55.663
and that's great,

00:57.547 --> 00:58.843
but we want commitment,

01:00.460 --> 01:02.380
we want commitment.

01:02.380 --> 01:05.690
You want when you lead your
section, every single day,

01:05.690 --> 01:10.690
every single week, your tour,
your completion of that duty,

01:11.050 --> 01:12.400
you want to leave it better

01:13.741 --> 01:15.541
than what it was when you got there.

01:16.700 --> 01:19.250
That's what leadership's about.

01:19.250 --> 01:22.010
That's what being a United States marine,

01:22.010 --> 01:23.708
United States sailor, officer,

01:23.708 --> 01:26.593
serving your country, is all about.

01:27.820 --> 01:31.930
It's commitment, compliance
is easy, building commitment.

01:31.930 --> 01:36.190
And I always talk about, it's
inspiring young marines',

01:36.190 --> 01:40.003
sailors' hearts, that's
how you get commitment,

01:40.003 --> 01:42.063
when you talk to them about their hearts.

01:44.920 --> 01:48.133
It's never forgetting how
freaking smart they are,

01:50.090 --> 01:53.350
their minds, and showing them the way.

01:53.350 --> 01:58.090
You do that, heart, head, little
bit of vision guides them,

01:58.090 --> 02:01.263
do whatever you ask them to
and accomplish the mission.

02:02.280 --> 02:04.430
So hey, damn proud to be a
part of this organization,

02:04.430 --> 02:05.780
appreciate what you all do.

02:06.640 --> 02:07.732
Semper Fi.

02:07.732 --> 02:08.787
(crowd roars)

02:08.787 --> 02:11.073
(crowd claps)
