WEBVTT 00:08.350 --> 00:10.461 Hello , Red sails . We're a couple of 00:10.461 --> 00:12.517 weeks into this pandemic and working 00:12.517 --> 00:14.739 towards what will be our new normal for 00:14.739 --> 00:16.850 the foreseeable future . I'm proud of 00:16.850 --> 00:18.794 our airmen have responded to these 00:18.794 --> 00:20.961 changes and stay flexible and agile to 00:20.961 --> 00:23.183 get our mission done while keeping each 00:23.183 --> 00:25.072 other safe . These changes to our 00:25.072 --> 00:27.294 normal routines are necessary , even if 00:27.294 --> 00:29.406 it means I send you this message from 00:29.406 --> 00:31.628 my home instead of my office and family 00:31.628 --> 00:33.683 feel . But now you've probably heard 00:33.683 --> 00:35.739 that Danley Field is going to follow 00:35.739 --> 00:37.572 duty guidance on the use of face 00:37.572 --> 00:39.683 coverings while on the installation . 00:39.683 --> 00:41.683 This guy is basically says that all 00:41.683 --> 00:43.517 individuals will wear cloth face 00:43.517 --> 00:45.739 coverings when they cannot maintain six 00:45.739 --> 00:47.940 feet of physical distancing in public 00:47.940 --> 00:49.900 areas . Work centers on all the OD 00:49.900 --> 00:52.090 installations . I can't imagine 00:52.090 --> 00:54.201 anyone's too excited about this , but 00:54.201 --> 00:56.146 it will help us better protect our 00:56.146 --> 00:58.201 force and ensure we're mission ready 00:58.201 --> 01:00.257 while dealing with Kobe . 19 . Check 01:00.257 --> 01:02.368 our website or Facebook page for more 01:02.368 --> 01:04.368 details of mass requirements . I've 01:04.368 --> 01:06.201 already seen some pretty awesome 01:06.201 --> 01:08.390 efforts in our wing on mask ideas and 01:08.400 --> 01:11.660 production switching gears . I also 01:11.660 --> 01:13.882 wanted to talk to you today about steps 01:13.882 --> 01:16.104 you can take to stay sharp and mentally 01:16.104 --> 01:18.271 ready in this time of crisis , drawing 01:18.271 --> 01:20.438 inspiration from a recent message . My 01:20.438 --> 01:22.327 pastor giving my church . But the 01:22.327 --> 01:24.493 lessons or secular ? I have five steps 01:24.493 --> 01:26.327 you could take that could make a 01:26.327 --> 01:28.493 positive difference . Number one is to 01:28.493 --> 01:30.716 communicate clearly , intentionally and 01:30.716 --> 01:33.230 often . This goes for leaders and 01:33.230 --> 01:35.230 supervisors going down the chain to 01:35.230 --> 01:37.341 those you supervise as well as airman 01:37.341 --> 01:39.452 at every level , communicating up the 01:39.452 --> 01:41.880 chain is necessary . Simple , clear 01:41.880 --> 01:43.991 communication can help stop confusion 01:43.991 --> 01:46.150 and rumors . If you have a question , 01:46.320 --> 01:48.810 ask your supervisor . Supervisors . 01:48.810 --> 01:51.032 Check on your airman and their families 01:51.032 --> 01:53.290 often be positive , yet honest and 01:53.290 --> 01:56.040 direct about what's going on . Number 01:56.040 --> 01:58.840 two is to create new structures and 01:58.840 --> 02:01.400 routines . If you're teleworking , make 02:01.400 --> 02:03.067 a daily schedule of things to 02:03.067 --> 02:05.233 accomplish and stick to it . I'm a big 02:05.233 --> 02:08.070 list guy , and I find it helpful . Do 3 02:08.070 --> 02:11.290 to 5 things every day . Put them on my 02:11.290 --> 02:13.512 list and make sure I get them done . By 02:13.512 --> 02:15.568 the end of the day , many of us have 02:15.568 --> 02:17.568 more time to accomplish things that 02:17.568 --> 02:19.512 we've never had before . If you've 02:19.512 --> 02:21.623 always wanted to get something done , 02:21.623 --> 02:24.410 now is the time Number three guard your 02:24.410 --> 02:26.830 mind , especially now when we can be 02:26.830 --> 02:29.140 constantly bombarded by bad news . 02:29.180 --> 02:31.458 Guard what you're watching and reading . 02:31.458 --> 02:33.569 It probably shouldn't be the news all 02:33.569 --> 02:35.902 day long because it will bring you down . 02:35.902 --> 02:38.013 Take this time to feed your mind with 02:38.013 --> 02:40.013 positive , healthy content that can 02:40.013 --> 02:42.291 help you be more upbeat and productive . 02:42.540 --> 02:45.310 Number four . Focus on what you could 02:45.310 --> 02:48.180 control , not on what you can't right 02:48.180 --> 02:50.347 now . We can make a real difference by 02:50.347 --> 02:52.236 following the CDC and D . O . D . 02:52.236 --> 02:54.013 Guidelines that were constantly 02:54.013 --> 02:55.902 reminded of Stay home unless it's 02:55.902 --> 02:58.124 necessary and your supervisor needs you 02:58.124 --> 03:00.236 to come to work and follow the latest 03:00.236 --> 03:02.236 guidelines from the CDC . And while 03:02.236 --> 03:04.236 we're maintaining physical distance 03:04.236 --> 03:06.347 from one another , make sure you stay 03:06.347 --> 03:08.458 socially connected . Finally , Number 03:08.458 --> 03:10.624 five is to remember the bigger picture 03:10.640 --> 03:13.110 This pandemic will end . It's going to 03:13.120 --> 03:15.231 be a long road , and we may take some 03:15.231 --> 03:17.342 bumps along the way , but we're going 03:17.342 --> 03:19.509 to come out on the other side stronger 03:19.509 --> 03:21.509 for it . The red tails have already 03:21.509 --> 03:23.620 shown our resilience and adaptability 03:23.620 --> 03:25.620 and get it done . Attitude . You're 03:25.620 --> 03:27.690 amazing . Stay positive and keep 03:27.690 --> 03:29.912 checking with your leadership and our 1 03:29.912 --> 03:32.134 97th fighter way Public websites Corona 03:32.134 --> 03:34.246 Virus Page for the latest updates and 03:34.246 --> 03:36.246 guidance . And remember , every day 03:36.246 --> 03:38.460 that goes by brings us one day closer 03:38.460 --> 03:41.870 to this all being behind us . Red sails 03:41.880 --> 03:47.760 way .
