00:01.910 --> 00:04.580
I'm Staff Sergeant Jimmy Stample . I

00:04.590 --> 00:06.534
worked at the second Communication

00:06.534 --> 00:08.646
Squadron when we first found out that

00:08.646 --> 00:11.390
my wife , head coach , it was a wave of

00:11.400 --> 00:13.400
just complex emotions . Now that we

00:13.400 --> 00:15.622
know what's going on , we can tackle it

00:15.622 --> 00:15.590
together .

00:25.240 --> 00:27.351
My wife , Leah , her having cove it .

00:27.351 --> 00:29.462
It's there's a helplessness associate

00:29.462 --> 00:31.518
with its When you have the disease ,

00:31.518 --> 00:33.684
there's not a cure . There's not , you

00:33.684 --> 00:35.851
know , a pill that you take and it you

00:35.851 --> 00:37.740
don't have it anymore . After the

00:37.740 --> 00:39.962
symptoms gotten worse , dealing with it

00:39.962 --> 00:43.370
was a little bit stressful . Let's say

00:43.910 --> 00:46.132
the Sun Communication Squadron was very

00:46.132 --> 00:48.299
supportive . And where was there every

00:48.299 --> 00:50.521
step of the way ? I definitely I wanted

00:50.521 --> 00:52.688
to give back because they , you know ,

00:52.688 --> 00:55.150
to calm is my family . I got I got sick

00:55.740 --> 00:57.740
certain sample and I had similar

00:57.740 --> 00:59.730
symptoms . Nothing like her wife ,

00:59.740 --> 01:01.907
though her wife had it really , really

01:01.907 --> 01:03.573
bad . Like she said , she was

01:03.573 --> 01:05.573
struggling to breathe , and we both

01:05.573 --> 01:07.740
just went through the rt , turning the

01:07.740 --> 01:09.573
resiliency training , um , to be

01:09.573 --> 01:13.260
volunteers and the training is very

01:13.260 --> 01:15.280
specific , very rigid , so I just

01:15.280 --> 01:17.002
wanted something that could be

01:17.002 --> 01:19.480
relatable . Sample is very relatable

01:19.480 --> 01:21.313
person , and she gets along with

01:21.313 --> 01:23.860
everyone , and , uh and so I kind of

01:24.030 --> 01:26.220
ran the idea past her

01:27.660 --> 01:29.910
and said , You know , what do you think

01:29.910 --> 01:32.077
about like making a newsletter ? Would

01:32.077 --> 01:33.854
you be into that ? She's like ,

01:33.854 --> 01:35.854
Absolutely . The newsletter started

01:35.854 --> 01:39.550
with just the two calms Quarter way

01:40.070 --> 01:42.403
originally , just wanted to send it out ,

01:42.403 --> 01:44.514
sort of like a bi weekly or every few

01:44.514 --> 01:48.460
weeks just to kind of reinforce

01:48.460 --> 01:51.670
resiliency , but also deliver it in a

01:51.680 --> 01:53.736
little bit of a different way of the

01:53.736 --> 01:56.013
newsletter itself is called The R Word .

01:56.070 --> 01:58.014
It's almost like the rebranding of

01:58.014 --> 02:00.200
resiliency so we can use what we

02:00.200 --> 02:01.978
already been taught , which was

02:01.978 --> 02:04.200
resiliency kind of reform in and use it

02:04.200 --> 02:05.922
as an outlet to talk about the

02:05.922 --> 02:08.070
different coping mechanisms . The

02:08.150 --> 02:11.730
biggest thing that I want someone and

02:11.730 --> 02:13.841
that storm mixing would agree to me .

02:13.841 --> 02:16.100
But we both kind of want this happen is

02:16.290 --> 02:18.457
they're not alone , you know , they're

02:18.457 --> 02:20.457
not alone in all this , and there's

02:20.457 --> 02:24.120
ways to deal with any traumatic

02:24.120 --> 02:27.810
event , even if it's Cove it , um , and

02:27.810 --> 02:29.250
that they don't need to suffer
