WEBVTT 00:07.640 --> 00:09.940 Pacific Warriors . Welcome in 00:09.940 --> 00:13.410 preparation for this April virtual UTA . 00:13.420 --> 00:15.642 The first time we're gonna try this , I 00:15.642 --> 00:17.809 had a couple comments that I wanted to 00:17.809 --> 00:20.031 share with you . Uh , first I wanted to 00:20.031 --> 00:22.031 talk to you about is just something 00:22.031 --> 00:24.031 that's near and dear to me . I know 00:24.031 --> 00:25.920 that Ah , lot of us right now are 00:25.920 --> 00:28.031 experiencing a lot of uncertainty , A 00:28.031 --> 00:30.690 lot of stress . This'd is a different 00:30.980 --> 00:32.990 operating environment , a different 00:32.990 --> 00:35.212 living environment that a lot of us are 00:35.212 --> 00:37.323 used to . And that's to be expected . 00:37.323 --> 00:39.323 I'm spending a lot of time and face 00:39.323 --> 00:41.890 time with my family and friends that 00:41.900 --> 00:44.670 I'm disconnected from . I know that my 00:44.670 --> 00:46.781 sister is still going to work because 00:46.781 --> 00:49.003 she's worried about losing her job is a 00:49.003 --> 00:50.960 vet tech . So I know that there's 00:50.960 --> 00:53.160 different stressors out there , and I 00:53.170 --> 00:55.170 empathize . And I want to make sure 00:55.210 --> 00:57.470 that we talk about this kind of thing 00:57.630 --> 01:00.070 openly , and our stress is openly so 01:00.070 --> 01:01.848 that we can help deal with them 01:01.848 --> 01:04.210 together to start with our priorities . 01:04.310 --> 01:06.532 I wantto reiterate the things that I've 01:06.532 --> 01:09.100 been saying the last couple Fridays as 01:09.100 --> 01:11.100 I've been speaking to you , as this 01:11.530 --> 01:13.960 situation has evolved , our priority 01:13.960 --> 01:15.738 number one really contain zippy 01:15.738 --> 01:17.830 protecting Americans . You is our 01:17.830 --> 01:20.300 airman and our families . We continue 01:20.300 --> 01:23.240 to do that in this virtual UTA . Us . 01:23.240 --> 01:26.320 Being separated is one way that we can 01:26.320 --> 01:28.300 continue to keep everyone safe as 01:28.310 --> 01:30.870 possible . The second is to maintain 01:30.870 --> 01:33.490 our mission readiness . Now there are 01:33.490 --> 01:35.420 limitations in terms of things , 01:35.550 --> 01:37.860 especially pre RCP that we're going to 01:37.860 --> 01:40.027 be able to do . But there are a lot of 01:40.027 --> 01:42.440 things that we can continue to d'oh a 01:42.440 --> 01:44.551 lot of the CB tease . Ah , lot of the 01:44.551 --> 01:47.230 other training PJ's using virtual 01:47.230 --> 01:49.286 medicine . We're moving towards that 01:49.286 --> 01:52.030 this UTA and will get even better in 01:52.040 --> 01:55.220 May UT . So we can continue to affect 01:55.460 --> 01:58.210 ah proper mission readiness as we go 01:58.210 --> 02:00.770 forward and be safe and then supporting 02:00.770 --> 02:02.992 the whole of government effort . I know 02:02.992 --> 02:05.120 a lot of our medical folks or medical 02:05.130 --> 02:07.870 on the outside as well , and our hats 02:07.870 --> 02:10.690 off to you . I know that you're under a 02:10.690 --> 02:12.801 certain level of stress that the rest 02:12.801 --> 02:15.023 of us aren't experiencing right now and 02:15.023 --> 02:16.968 thank you for what you're doing to 02:16.968 --> 02:19.190 protect your community and for the rest 02:19.190 --> 02:21.357 of us . There's a lot of us in Mission 02:21.357 --> 02:23.412 of Central positions , whether it be 02:23.412 --> 02:25.790 grocery or anything else . That's 02:25.790 --> 02:27.734 really keeping our community going 02:27.734 --> 02:29.910 during this time . Eso thank you . 02:30.270 --> 02:31.992 Let's continue support a whole 02:31.992 --> 02:34.214 government and our active duty partners 02:34.214 --> 02:36.480 as we're able to . So as we move into 02:36.480 --> 02:39.310 this virtual UTA this weekend , here's 02:39.310 --> 02:41.477 one thing I want you to consider . And 02:41.477 --> 02:43.532 it's something that General Goldfein 02:43.532 --> 02:45.532 and General Scobie continued a foot 02:45.532 --> 02:47.643 stomp in the last month . We've heard 02:47.643 --> 02:49.810 the terminology of social distancing , 02:49.810 --> 02:52.032 and that's important in the community . 02:52.032 --> 02:54.199 But we want to flip that upside down , 02:54.199 --> 02:56.032 and thinking of this is purely a 02:56.032 --> 02:58.088 physical distancing but not a social 02:58.088 --> 03:00.254 distancing . In fact , now is the time 03:00.254 --> 03:02.366 that we need to socially connect more 03:02.366 --> 03:04.421 than ever . We've talked a lot about 03:04.421 --> 03:06.421 resilience in the last few months , 03:06.421 --> 03:08.588 even before our resilience , technical 03:08.588 --> 03:10.477 pause . And this is the time this 03:10.477 --> 03:12.477 weekend supervisors , I need you to 03:12.477 --> 03:15.480 reach out via FaceTime via phone via 03:15.710 --> 03:17.932 different apse where you could actually 03:17.932 --> 03:20.060 see your airman and look to them is 03:20.060 --> 03:22.750 much in the eye as possible and really 03:22.750 --> 03:24.940 see how we're doing . There's a lot of 03:24.950 --> 03:28.830 people under stress , out of jobs , 03:29.300 --> 03:31.200 having people sick around them , 03:31.330 --> 03:33.620 knowing people , especially on mainland 03:33.620 --> 03:35.398 who are getting sick and may be 03:35.398 --> 03:37.620 hospitalized . Please take this time to 03:37.620 --> 03:40.160 connect commanders . I expect your 03:40.170 --> 03:42.337 airman to have your cell phone numbers 03:42.540 --> 03:45.510 to continue that open door policy that 03:45.510 --> 03:48.390 we have as we lead on regular U . T . A 03:48.390 --> 03:51.520 s . The reality is right now is a lot 03:51.520 --> 03:54.050 of people are going to get sick . A lot 03:54.050 --> 03:56.310 of folks don't are asymptomatic , so 03:56.310 --> 03:58.588 they're not demonstrating any symptoms . 03:58.588 --> 04:00.643 And the government continues to push 04:00.643 --> 04:02.810 out guidance in terms of how to keep 04:02.820 --> 04:05.410 folks safe around us a cz much as 04:05.410 --> 04:08.310 possible as we continue to go through 04:08.470 --> 04:11.310 this epidemic . So please make sure I 04:11.310 --> 04:13.421 want to make sure that you understand 04:13.421 --> 04:15.532 that you need to notify your chain of 04:15.532 --> 04:17.700 command if you're quarantined . If 04:17.700 --> 04:20.140 you're told to self isolate war . If 04:20.140 --> 04:22.900 you test positive , we want to get you 04:22.910 --> 04:24.966 the most help that we can . And that 04:24.966 --> 04:27.640 includes guidance on a CZ . Well , as 04:27.690 --> 04:30.950 someone to talk to when any of these 04:30.950 --> 04:33.580 things happen , I know that the local 04:33.820 --> 04:35.970 guidance is really changing almost 04:35.980 --> 04:38.470 daily everything from mission essential 04:38.470 --> 04:41.550 movement on Lee to Guam , putting the 04:41.560 --> 04:44.770 14 hard day quarantine in terms of 04:44.780 --> 04:47.420 everybody . That's flying in . So we're 04:47.420 --> 04:49.587 trying to push that information out to 04:49.587 --> 04:51.940 you as quickly as we can via AP connect . 04:52.230 --> 04:54.397 I'm sorry , ALF Connect as well as our 04:55.140 --> 04:57.490 Facebook pages . So in terms of 04:57.490 --> 04:59.740 resources , we have First Sergeant's 04:59.740 --> 05:03.540 coming on full time starting 05:03.880 --> 05:07.440 on Monday after UTA .

Um , also speaking to 05:34.640 --> 05:37.300 Resource is we've spoken before , and I 05:37.300 --> 05:39.522 know I mentioned a couple weeks ago the 05:39.522 --> 05:42.480 suicide risk . Um , this is one of 05:42.480 --> 05:44.550 those times that the stressors just 05:44.560 --> 05:47.150 again keep piling up , right ? Whether 05:47.150 --> 05:49.620 it be job loss or family members 05:49.620 --> 05:52.210 getting sick , this is the time to 05:52.220 --> 05:54.800 really connect with each other . Don't 05:54.800 --> 05:56.967 let anyone be an island on their own . 05:57.010 --> 05:59.720 Please ask them directly as we've been 05:59.720 --> 06:02.310 trained to use the ACE model asked 06:02.310 --> 06:04.810 people directly how they're doing . Ask 06:04.810 --> 06:06.921 them directly if they've had suicidal 06:06.921 --> 06:09.230 thoughts and make sure that you always 06:09.230 --> 06:11.880 do a warm hand off of folks that have 06:12.630 --> 06:16.460 that have suicidal ideations . I 06:16.460 --> 06:18.540 want us to think about this as a new 06:18.540 --> 06:22.210 normal post 9 11 Things changed 06:22.210 --> 06:25.330 drastically and we continue to live 06:25.330 --> 06:27.690 with those changes , whether it be TSA 06:27.690 --> 06:29.850 or how we travel , how we look at 06:29.850 --> 06:31.730 ourselves , how we look at our 06:31.740 --> 06:33.962 adversaries , how we look at the threat 06:33.962 --> 06:36.184 level around us . I have a feeling that 06:36.184 --> 06:38.351 this pandemic will be the same thing . 06:38.351 --> 06:40.900 It will require a new level of normal , 06:41.210 --> 06:43.510 but we are resilient and we are strong 06:43.560 --> 06:46.430 and just like post 9 11 when a lot of 06:46.430 --> 06:49.330 us deployed together to fight a war 06:49.480 --> 06:52.010 that was not expected but kind of 06:52.010 --> 06:54.790 thrust upon us . We've been here before . 06:54.790 --> 06:56.846 We fought battles before . It's just 06:56.846 --> 06:58.623 our enemy .
