Good . 03:23.040 --> 03:26.690 Mhm . Can you change the 03:26.690 --> 03:28.912 sequence a little bit . Lance come up ? 03:30.240 --> 03:33.720 Uh huh . So facebook 03:33.730 --> 03:36.720 messenger land there is reports that we 03:36.720 --> 03:38.700 may have john Francis visiting out 03:38.710 --> 03:41.550 there on facebook plan and there's a 03:41.940 --> 03:44.162 Former Warriors six that may or may not 03:44.162 --> 03:48.160 be . Uh but 03:48.160 --> 03:51.670 most importantly we got the calvert and 03:51.680 --> 03:55.310 callahan families , lisa's family 03:55.320 --> 03:58.650 attending virtually from the East Coast . 03:59.040 --> 04:01.710 So welcome to them . And thanks thanks 04:01.710 --> 04:03.880 for the responses as well as everybody 04:03.880 --> 04:06.560 else for coming here today and allowing 04:06.560 --> 04:08.990 me to participate in Colonel . 04:08.990 --> 04:11.360 Promotable calvins promotion of 04:11.360 --> 04:13.980 religion . It's a pretty neat day that 04:13.980 --> 04:16.280 he could do this year . Having served 04:16.280 --> 04:18.336 as a deputy commanding officer for a 04:18.336 --> 04:20.280 year and now getting ready to be a 04:20.280 --> 04:22.336 deputy commanding general familiar . 04:22.336 --> 04:24.336 But also a place where he certainly 04:24.336 --> 04:26.336 community mediation . But so here's 04:26.336 --> 04:27.960 what's unique . Um 04:28.540 --> 04:32.350 1993 when 04:32.360 --> 04:33.990 soon to be General pavel was 04:33.990 --> 04:36.780 commissioned . Remember his year group 04:36.780 --> 04:39.570 was assessed as cadets or their pre 04:39.570 --> 04:42.790 commissioning in 1989 , 1989 . Before 04:42.790 --> 04:45.670 the wall came down . Oh , it's before 04:45.670 --> 04:48.260 desert storm . It's before we read the 04:48.270 --> 04:51.650 piece . So in his year group 04:52.040 --> 04:54.950 There were probably about 6000 or so 04:55.440 --> 04:58.160 Second Lieutenants Assessment 04:58.170 --> 05:00.281 Commission . And I know for your star 05:00.281 --> 05:02.448 majors in the crowd , like your 6002nd 05:02.448 --> 05:06.170 attendance and you start twitching . It 05:06.170 --> 05:09.620 is a lot smaller . So that's 05:09.620 --> 05:12.830 6000 or so . Second tenants that came 05:12.830 --> 05:14.941 into our army or almost came into our 05:15.340 --> 05:18.760 1993 for laces , your group , 05:19.140 --> 05:22.150 give or take a few . There's maybe 30 05:22.150 --> 05:26.050 or 35 regular generals That came 05:26.050 --> 05:29.550 out of those £6 And that's like a 05:29.600 --> 05:32.360 53 uh , 05:32.840 --> 05:36.520 selection . So that says a 05:36.520 --> 05:40.240 lot about him and about what he's 05:40.240 --> 05:43.490 done , what he's accomplished of . But 05:43.490 --> 05:45.657 there's somebody else that we probably 05:45.657 --> 05:47.879 also going to talk about two and that's 05:47.879 --> 05:49.657 lisa and there's another unique 05:49.657 --> 05:52.550 percentage associated with lisa . So 05:52.550 --> 05:55.270 for those of , you do not know , it all 05:55.270 --> 05:59.010 started one day in Plymouth North high 05:59.010 --> 06:00.880 School in physics class . 06:00.890 --> 06:04.800 Uh , remember how they used to 06:04.810 --> 06:07.143 do it right in high school alphabetical , 06:07.143 --> 06:09.720 right ? So you got Callahan and Calvin 06:09.730 --> 06:12.990 sitting right next to each other . Now , 06:13.000 --> 06:15.660 I'll let you draw your own conclusions . 06:15.670 --> 06:18.710 Uh , but lisa was actually a year 06:18.720 --> 06:21.060 younger in the same physics classic . I 06:21.070 --> 06:25.020 think we 06:25.020 --> 06:27.076 sort of know how that sort of that . 06:27.080 --> 06:29.340 But here's what's interesting . We'll 06:29.350 --> 06:31.239 talk percentages . Another unique 06:31.239 --> 06:34.370 percentage is lisa and Lance together 06:34.840 --> 06:36.896 the whole four years while he was in 06:36.896 --> 06:39.118 the military . And I don't know whether 06:39.118 --> 06:41.229 it's true or not , but there's a myth 06:41.229 --> 06:44.020 And they say it's the 2% club , There's 06:44.020 --> 06:47.330 2% of those that come in with a 06:47.340 --> 06:49.451 boyfriend or girlfriend started their 06:49.451 --> 06:51.340 four years of military cabin that 06:51.340 --> 06:53.960 actually make it through all that . And 06:53.970 --> 06:57.860 so they did and shortly after he was 06:57.860 --> 07:00.027 commissioned and they got married . So 07:00.027 --> 07:02.670 lisa has been on the army journey now 07:02.680 --> 07:06.390 for 28 Plus four . Right ? I mean 07:06.390 --> 07:08.501 that's that's 32 . That's pretty good 07:08.501 --> 07:11.280 numbers . So for the Callahan family 07:11.280 --> 07:13.430 that's out there watching , I'm sure 07:13.430 --> 07:16.450 you had questions back there . 07:17.280 --> 07:19.960 Started in physics class . 07:21.070 --> 07:24.660 Okay . Thanks for hello . I'm lisa 07:25.340 --> 07:27.650 to stay with plants and help guide him 07:28.040 --> 07:30.151 And participate and help our soldiers 07:30.151 --> 07:32.260 and their families over the 28 year 07:32.270 --> 07:34.492 journey . So thankfully so for all that 07:34.492 --> 07:36.800 you've done to support and sustain this 07:36.800 --> 07:38.189 for soldiers . Nothing . 07:38.270 --> 07:46.210 So 07:46.220 --> 07:48.276 we'll get on with the promotion here 07:48.276 --> 07:50.498 very shortly . But I'm not gonna go for 07:50.498 --> 07:52.720 every single one lances assignments but 07:52.720 --> 07:54.887 I have to just we can have one water . 07:55.640 --> 07:59.510 Oh he was actually an aviation to me 07:59.590 --> 08:02.450 when I was a company awesome and I'm 08:02.450 --> 08:05.080 not sure that he was the guy . But 08:05.090 --> 08:07.312 there was a platoon that dropped me and 08:07.312 --> 08:09.550 my company off Middle Serbia . It snow 08:09.550 --> 08:11.810 storm and we could not be recovered for 08:11.820 --> 08:14.420 seven days . And we stayed up there and 08:14.420 --> 08:18.330 we struggled . You did 08:18.330 --> 08:20.550 you have anything to do with financial 08:20.550 --> 08:22.990 loss of property ? About 2.75 inch 08:22.990 --> 08:23.990 rockets fired . 08:24.460 --> 08:28.360 Okay . Now that we've got that straight . 08:28.370 --> 08:31.960 So third I'd First Infantry Division , 08:32.310 --> 08:35.430 10th Mountain Division Of course many 08:35.430 --> 08:37.319 of you know , 2nd judicial combat 08:37.319 --> 08:39.430 aviation brigade also had a couple of 08:39.430 --> 08:41.374 great other assignments in there , 08:41.374 --> 08:43.597 which I think talked a little bit about 08:43.597 --> 08:45.652 his ability to move back and forth . 08:45.652 --> 08:47.874 You know , he was a physics and shelter 08:47.874 --> 08:50.260 was and his master's degree is in 08:50.270 --> 08:53.720 physics of optics . So for the 08:53.730 --> 08:56.660 instrument in the crowd that means the 08:56.660 --> 08:58.980 study of the behavior and patterns of 08:58.990 --> 09:01.890 light . The 09:01.900 --> 09:04.860 blazers 09:05.440 --> 09:09.330 mostly have a degree in 09:09.340 --> 09:13.280 forestry or so lasers . And then 09:13.280 --> 09:15.502 he also had an assignment in our office 09:15.502 --> 09:18.430 of chief legislative liaison , which is 09:18.430 --> 09:20.430 really a tremendous opportunity for 09:20.430 --> 09:22.263 carl will understand Sydney your 09:22.263 --> 09:24.650 relationships there in the national 09:24.660 --> 09:26.940 capital . So it shows a lot about his 09:26.940 --> 09:29.000 ability to move back and forth from 09:29.010 --> 09:31.460 tactical to strategic assignments and 09:31.460 --> 09:33.682 that's exactly what we're looking for . 09:33.682 --> 09:35.571 General officers is not one trick 09:35.571 --> 09:37.682 ponies , people that have the ability 09:37.682 --> 09:39.700 to move back and forth . So very 09:39.700 --> 09:43.270 shortly I'll ask a 09:43.270 --> 09:47.150 narrator . Two publisher workers mass 09:47.150 --> 09:49.317 that you always seen and then we'll do 09:49.317 --> 09:50.940 the oath . But what's pretty 09:50.940 --> 09:53.162 interesting we sort of take someone for 09:53.162 --> 09:55.440 granted when you hear the orders , it's 09:55.440 --> 09:57.330 going to say something like has 09:57.330 --> 09:59.052 proposed special trust and the 09:59.052 --> 10:02.470 patriotism , valor fidelity and 10:02.470 --> 10:05.880 abilities of place called . And 10:05.880 --> 10:09.850 so I've got a copy of the 10:09.860 --> 10:13.790 1950s armed forces officer guy and 10:13.790 --> 10:17.260 I was not in the army then . I wondered . 10:17.640 --> 10:19.418 But I think I found this pretty 10:19.418 --> 10:21.529 interesting when we talk patriotism , 10:21.529 --> 10:24.090 valor fidelity and abilities . And this 10:24.090 --> 10:27.860 is what it says 1950 he was signed by 10:28.940 --> 10:32.310 wait . So his legal consequences . So 10:32.310 --> 10:34.560 this is what they said . It says , uh , 10:34.570 --> 10:36.792 we talked about this one word , answers 10:36.792 --> 10:39.060 patriots and our fidelity abilities 10:39.120 --> 10:42.060 says . As for patriotism , either a man 10:42.060 --> 10:44.227 loves his country or else he would not 10:44.227 --> 10:46.960 seek his commission . Headstands unless 10:46.960 --> 10:49.140 he's completely the rascal or 10:49.140 --> 10:51.362 pretending to serve in order to destroy 10:51.540 --> 10:54.210 Valerie , on the other hand , cannot be 10:54.210 --> 10:56.640 fully vouchsafe . Since it's not given 10:56.640 --> 10:59.100 to any man to know the nature and death 10:59.100 --> 11:01.850 of his personal courage and abilities 11:02.340 --> 11:05.590 vary from man to man partly what red 11:05.590 --> 11:08.750 tree and environment . If nature had 11:08.750 --> 11:11.940 not imposed ceiling . We are striving 11:12.260 --> 11:14.640 to make every managing this . But 11:14.650 --> 11:18.140 fidelity is the driven of a personal 11:18.140 --> 11:21.740 decision . It is the jewel within reach 11:21.740 --> 11:25.150 of every man who has possession great 11:25.160 --> 11:28.920 faith , rightness of mind influence 11:28.920 --> 11:31.690 over other men . Finally , personal 11:31.690 --> 11:34.160 success and satisfaction come of 11:34.160 --> 11:36.710 service throughout the lobster . So 11:36.710 --> 11:38.321 when we talk about fertility 11:39.140 --> 11:41.930 faithfulness , commitment and the 11:41.930 --> 11:44.290 ability to stick with something as well , 11:44.290 --> 11:46.700 we'll see your plans . He's had all the 11:46.700 --> 11:48.940 hard jobs from tactical to strategic 11:48.950 --> 11:51.510 legacy . Some people shy away from some 11:51.510 --> 11:53.621 of those things . He also had time in 11:53.621 --> 11:55.843 army special operations of the issues . 11:55.843 --> 11:57.843 That reaction went from the meeting 11:57.843 --> 12:01.450 planner to actually which is also so 12:01.450 --> 12:03.760 his faithfulness , his commitment to 12:03.760 --> 12:06.360 our profession of arms . His fidelity , 12:07.040 --> 12:09.960 in addition to his patriotism is 12:09.960 --> 12:11.793 demonstrated value over multiple 12:11.793 --> 12:13.950 deployments and his exceptional 12:13.950 --> 12:16.860 abilities or what's going over the top 12:17.240 --> 12:19.462 for selection of commercial privilege . 12:19.740 --> 12:22.350 So that being said , I think it's not 12:23.120 --> 12:25.176 lisa would you want to come to us up 12:25.176 --> 12:28.250 here ? Okay . Mhm . 12:32.040 --> 12:33.984 Ladies and gentlemen please remain 12:33.984 --> 12:35.984 seated in the publishing of yours . 12:39.440 --> 12:42.250 Yeah . Yeah . Mhm . 12:43.640 --> 12:45.696 Essentially works . Headquarters are 12:45.696 --> 12:47.710 only on Washington D . C . The 12:47.720 --> 12:49.887 president of the United States has one 12:49.887 --> 12:51.998 of those special trust and confidence 12:51.998 --> 12:53.720 in the churches . Um About the 12:53.720 --> 12:55.442 definition in the buildings of 12:55.442 --> 12:57.609 landscape , immunities qualities . And 12:57.609 --> 12:59.387 this demonstrated potential for 12:59.387 --> 13:01.609 increased responsibilities is therefore 13:01.609 --> 13:03.609 authorized and directed to wear the 13:03.609 --> 13:05.664 uniform .
