00:00.660 --> 00:01.640
- Hey, team.

00:01.640 --> 00:02.473
Welcome.

00:02.473 --> 00:03.335
I'm glad to be talking to you

00:03.335 --> 00:07.250
on this Tactical Pause to
think about resilience.

00:07.250 --> 00:08.920
On whatever day you're watching this

00:08.920 --> 00:11.510
and whatever scenario around the AGOW.

00:11.510 --> 00:14.100
I just have two quick messages for you.

00:14.100 --> 00:16.910
The first one that I think resonates

00:16.910 --> 00:20.148
most closely with the
population we represent

00:20.148 --> 00:23.231
is that there is no shame
in going to get help

00:23.231 --> 00:25.690
for any malady you have.

00:25.690 --> 00:29.300
And oftentimes, the things
that we're talking about

00:29.300 --> 00:31.960
are items for which
there is help available.

00:31.960 --> 00:34.640
I also know there's a lot
of pride in our units,

00:34.640 --> 00:37.040
and I also know from my own experience

00:37.040 --> 00:39.600
that sometimes going out to seek that help

00:39.600 --> 00:41.930
can seem like a sign of weakness.

00:41.930 --> 00:43.810
It can seem embarrassing.

00:43.810 --> 00:45.600
It can seem like something
you don't wanna do.

00:45.600 --> 00:50.270
So please hear me, first and
foremost, help is available.

00:50.270 --> 00:51.830
We put it out on a low shelf.

00:51.830 --> 00:53.180
We want you to go get it.

00:53.180 --> 00:54.300
We will protect you.

00:54.300 --> 00:55.740
We will protect your career.

00:55.740 --> 00:57.830
We will protect your family.

00:57.830 --> 01:00.360
One thing we don't talk
about enough sometimes

01:00.360 --> 01:02.826
is all the people that are
able to keep it confidential

01:02.826 --> 01:04.800
if you go speak to them.

01:04.800 --> 01:07.880
Chaplains have an incredible
degree of confidentiality.

01:07.880 --> 01:11.560
Anything you tell them, they're
gonna keep to themselves

01:11.560 --> 01:14.570
and not share with anyone, period, dot.

01:14.570 --> 01:16.770
Medical providers, commanders,

01:16.770 --> 01:21.010
we all have a different degree
of how much we can protect

01:21.010 --> 01:22.860
what you tell us or how
much we have to turn over

01:22.860 --> 01:24.640
to investigating authorities.

01:24.640 --> 01:26.480
If you don't know, ask someone.

01:26.480 --> 01:27.650
We'll get you the help you need

01:27.650 --> 01:29.610
in a way where you can be protected.

01:29.610 --> 01:30.890
So that's the first thing.

01:30.890 --> 01:33.000
Second thing, though, and this video

01:33.000 --> 01:36.400
is gonna completely fail
if we don't emphasize this,

01:36.400 --> 01:40.906
is that this is not something
we hit with one training day

01:40.906 --> 01:43.170
or a one-time address.

01:43.170 --> 01:45.600
This is an ongoing thing.

01:45.600 --> 01:48.600
Resiliency is something that is every day,

01:48.600 --> 01:51.472
and it happens when airmen
care about each other,

01:51.472 --> 01:53.772
and they know that they
care about each other.
