00:00.650 --> 00:02.920
- Hi. I'm Chief Mike Douglas.

00:02.920 --> 00:05.563
Command Chief of the
126th Air Refueling Wing.

00:06.830 --> 00:08.220
Just wanted to check-in with people,

00:08.220 --> 00:12.230
we're about six weeks into
the Covid-19 situation

00:12.230 --> 00:15.960
and everything seems
to be going well for us

00:15.960 --> 00:18.160
here at the 126th.

00:18.160 --> 00:20.790
Just wanna make sure
that all of our teammates

00:20.790 --> 00:22.720
are taking care of themselves

00:22.720 --> 00:25.910
and practicing their resiliency skills

00:25.910 --> 00:28.380
that we've all come accustomed to

00:28.380 --> 00:29.640
through our deployments

00:29.640 --> 00:33.462
and just through the regular
course of our learning

00:33.462 --> 00:34.545
and training.

00:35.841 --> 00:40.031
As you know, resiliency focuses
on our physical wellbeing,

00:40.031 --> 00:43.438
our mental wellbeing, our social wellbeing

00:43.438 --> 00:45.840
and our spiritual wellbeing.

00:45.840 --> 00:47.759
As members of the military,

00:47.759 --> 00:52.759
we come to train for that type
of situation all the time.

00:53.027 --> 00:55.213
This is a situation with the Covid-19,

00:55.213 --> 00:57.941
where people in our extended families

00:57.941 --> 01:01.660
and our families are not use
to this type of situation

01:01.660 --> 01:03.590
or environment and

01:04.850 --> 01:07.350
this is a key time when you can help

01:07.350 --> 01:09.040
take care of them as well.

01:09.040 --> 01:13.783
So just remain focused on
what our mission is and

01:15.780 --> 01:18.790
how you can utilize your resiliency skills

01:18.790 --> 01:21.740
to make it through this situation,

01:21.740 --> 01:23.630
even though you're not deployed,

01:23.630 --> 01:25.510
you're in a unique situation that

01:27.040 --> 01:29.400
these skills can be used in.

01:29.400 --> 01:31.500
So just make sure that you're
taking care of yourself

01:31.500 --> 01:34.210
physically by being physically active

01:34.210 --> 01:38.460
doing things that help take
care of you physically.

01:38.460 --> 01:40.310
Make sure that you're doing things that

01:40.310 --> 01:42.490
take care of yourself mentally

01:43.967 --> 01:45.520
and socially.

01:45.520 --> 01:48.710
Be involved with your friends

01:48.710 --> 01:52.370
and family through
different social networks,

01:52.370 --> 01:56.620
even though that you're in a
social distancing environment.

01:56.620 --> 02:01.620
Take advantage of utilizing
the various social medias.

02:01.670 --> 02:05.750
Whether it's Zoom or Teams
or whatever to facetime

02:05.750 --> 02:08.670
just to check-in on your relatives, family

02:08.670 --> 02:10.653
and your fellow wingmen.

02:11.610 --> 02:14.540
And maintain a positive outlook.

02:14.540 --> 02:17.140
We've made it through
six weeks of this so far

02:18.114 --> 02:20.270
and have done well.

02:20.270 --> 02:22.490
We don't wanna end up

02:23.350 --> 02:26.200
falling short of our mission goal

02:26.200 --> 02:29.120
and that's to make it through
this and come back to work

02:29.120 --> 02:32.320
and be back to our regular environment.

02:32.320 --> 02:36.010
So stay focused, stay strong
and take care of your airmen

02:36.010 --> 02:38.690
and we'll make it through this

02:38.690 --> 02:40.650
and be back to our regular

02:41.960 --> 02:43.119
mission shortly.

02:43.119 --> 02:43.953
Thank you.
