Change of command 00:35.527 --> 00:37.693 ceremony is rooted in military history 00:37.693 --> 00:39.804 dating back to the 18th century reign 00:39.804 --> 00:42.082 of King Frederick The Great of Prussia . 00:42.082 --> 00:44.304 During this time , organizational flags 00:44.304 --> 00:46.471 were developed with colors and symbols 00:46.471 --> 00:48.416 unique to each military unit . The 00:48.416 --> 00:50.416 soldiers of the unit would dedicate 00:50.416 --> 00:50.270 their loyalty and trust to their 00:50.270 --> 00:52.326 commander , symbolized by his flag . 00:53.340 --> 00:55.507 When the change of command was to take 00:55.507 --> 00:57.562 place , the outgoing commander would 00:57.562 --> 00:59.340 pass the flag to the individual 00:59.340 --> 01:01.340 assuming command . This gesture was 01:01.340 --> 01:03.173 accompanied in front of the unit 01:03.173 --> 01:05.229 accomplished in front of the unit so 01:05.229 --> 01:04.680 all could witness their new leader 01:04.680 --> 01:06.680 assuming they're dutiful position . 01:06.940 --> 01:09.107 This tradition has survived throughout 01:09.107 --> 01:11.273 military history .

I've learned from 26:39.630 --> 26:42.070 two of the absolute best Command Chiefs . 26:42.100 --> 26:44.211 Chief master sergeant rob Schultz and 26:44.211 --> 26:47.240 Chief master sergeant joseph RC Chief 26:47.250 --> 26:50.050 RC and his spectacular wife , Jennifer 26:50.060 --> 26:52.550 were like a ray of sunshine when they 26:52.550 --> 26:54.690 joined this team . Uh , Chief 26:54.700 --> 26:57.270 reinvigorated the top three , the 26:57.270 --> 26:59.990 rising for the chiefs group . He's been 26:59.990 --> 27:02.260 involved in future enlisted development 27:02.260 --> 27:03.927 and certainly in agile combat 27:03.927 --> 27:06.093 employment And I'm telling you , he is 27:06.093 --> 27:07.649 an example of how we should 27:07.649 --> 27:09.649 operationalize the command chief to 27:09.649 --> 27:11.960 ensure we're focused on war fighting . 27:12.840 --> 27:14.951 I've also been surrounded by the most 27:14.951 --> 27:17.118 incredible family . I have parents who 27:17.118 --> 27:19.530 are shiny examples of service . I have 27:19.530 --> 27:22.050 a husband who is a tower of strength 27:22.640 --> 27:24.418 who has shown more patience and 27:24.418 --> 27:26.696 thoughtfulness than I thought possible . 27:27.140 --> 27:29.140 I have a gift in the most precious 27:29.140 --> 27:31.300 daughter who happens to also love 27:31.300 --> 27:34.900 airplanes .

And while certainly 27:41.299 --> 27:43.410 it's not adequate . Um , for all that 27:43.410 --> 27:45.466 you have done for me . Late nights , 27:45.466 --> 27:47.960 long weekends , td wise around the 27:47.960 --> 27:50.930 world , some diverted attention . Um , 27:50.930 --> 27:53.950 maybe a few alligator tears .
