WEBVTT

00:06.940 --> 00:09.730
mm hmm . Hey Colonel , Here we are

00:09.730 --> 00:12.060
again or let's get it right series of

00:12.060 --> 00:14.060
November and we're gonna be talking

00:14.060 --> 00:16.810
about thoughtful . I you know to start

00:16.810 --> 00:18.921
sir , I I can't believe it's November

00:18.921 --> 00:22.330
of 2021 I think we're on almost almost

00:22.330 --> 00:24.441
a year a little over a year doing the

00:24.441 --> 00:26.386
let's get it right series and uh I

00:26.386 --> 00:28.552
think we've talked about everything we

00:28.552 --> 00:30.810
probably could have talked about and

00:30.810 --> 00:33.000
then we got thoughtful and I think it

00:33.000 --> 00:35.222
took us for a loop a little bit because

00:35.222 --> 00:37.333
you know we we we think about all how

00:37.333 --> 00:39.389
all these tie together , you know we

00:39.389 --> 00:38.860
think of the different ones we've

00:38.860 --> 00:41.027
talked about um and how we always have

00:41.027 --> 00:43.193
a theme and we bring them back to this

00:43.193 --> 00:45.416
certain place and me and you just start

00:45.416 --> 00:47.416
talking and we get there and now we

00:47.416 --> 00:49.582
have thoughtful and uh I was trying to

00:49.582 --> 00:51.527
figure out how I was going to talk

00:51.527 --> 00:51.520
about this because you really could

00:51.520 --> 00:53.742
dive into so many different avenues and

00:53.742 --> 00:56.020
where we go with this . Uh we probably ,

00:56.020 --> 00:58.242
you know I think we always go for about

00:58.242 --> 01:00.187
10 to 15 minutes and thoughtful we

01:00.187 --> 01:02.242
might go an hour or we could go five

01:02.242 --> 01:01.950
because it's really when you start

01:01.950 --> 01:04.080
digging down to that point . Uh one

01:04.080 --> 01:06.191
thing I think about sir , you know to

01:06.191 --> 01:09.150
begin is a is thinking about the

01:09.150 --> 01:11.261
population as a whole and what are we

01:11.261 --> 01:13.206
thoughtful for , you know why am I

01:13.206 --> 01:15.428
proud to have this uniform and thinking

01:15.428 --> 01:18.160
about , you know I know some people

01:18.160 --> 01:20.493
like to complain about it and I love it .

01:20.493 --> 01:23.130
Um going to the commissary or the B . X .

01:23.130 --> 01:25.220
And seeing uh one of those veterans

01:25.220 --> 01:27.650
with their retiree hat on because they

01:27.670 --> 01:29.837
are if you if you haven't noticed they

01:29.837 --> 01:31.892
have everything head to toe . So you

01:31.892 --> 01:33.781
know it's a veteran but it's just

01:33.781 --> 01:36.003
amazing just to go up and say thank you

01:36.003 --> 01:35.800
for your service and talk to them and

01:35.810 --> 01:37.977
hear their story . You know , you'd be

01:37.977 --> 01:40.032
surprised how many silver star , you

01:40.032 --> 01:43.270
know uh huge win a medal winners are

01:43.270 --> 01:44.881
walking around our miss just

01:44.881 --> 01:47.103
unbeknownst to you , you get to talk to

01:47.103 --> 01:49.103
those people and you here man , I'm

01:49.103 --> 01:49.050
thoughtful for what they have done ,

01:49.050 --> 01:51.161
I'm really proud of what they've done

01:51.161 --> 01:53.272
for me . Um What do you think , sir ?

01:53.272 --> 01:55.161
Yeah I thought it was interesting

01:55.161 --> 01:57.161
especially in the month of november

01:57.161 --> 01:59.510
thanksgiving right and what folks are

01:59.510 --> 02:02.890
thankful for . But for me thoughtful is

02:02.890 --> 02:05.057
embedded and probably everything we've

02:05.057 --> 02:07.168
talked about so far right ? It's part

02:07.168 --> 02:09.112
of the just part of the underlying

02:09.112 --> 02:11.560
threat of every conversation . Uh It's

02:11.560 --> 02:13.671
what you expect every leader to be is

02:13.671 --> 02:15.893
thoughtful because when you think about

02:15.893 --> 02:17.616
thoughtful , you think about a

02:17.616 --> 02:19.838
deliberate approach . Um you often hear

02:19.838 --> 02:22.060
me say responds , don't react because I

02:22.060 --> 02:23.949
want you to pause . I want you to

02:23.949 --> 02:25.949
breathe , I want you to think about

02:25.949 --> 02:28.171
what's going on . We talk about it when

02:28.171 --> 02:30.338
we talk about things like our lines of

02:30.338 --> 02:32.060
effort uh in our wing strategy

02:32.060 --> 02:34.227
strengthen and care for the team , you

02:34.227 --> 02:36.449
want to be thoughtful and deliberate uh

02:36.449 --> 02:38.616
in your caring right ? How do you take

02:38.616 --> 02:40.560
care of the team ? How do you look

02:40.560 --> 02:42.727
after people ? Um There's nothing that

02:42.727 --> 02:44.790
gives me greater joy whenever I can

02:44.790 --> 02:46.957
serve somebody else . Right ? And when

02:46.957 --> 02:48.901
we think about thoughtful we think

02:48.901 --> 02:51.130
about service , we think about service

02:51.130 --> 02:53.297
to each other , we think about service

02:53.297 --> 02:55.241
to the community . Uh We were just

02:55.241 --> 02:57.352
talking a few minutes ago about honor

02:57.352 --> 02:59.408
flight . Uh You had some experiences

02:59.408 --> 03:01.519
with Honor flight . I know I had some

03:01.519 --> 03:03.630
experiences with honor flight . I had

03:03.630 --> 03:05.852
the privilege at Macdill whenever I was

03:05.852 --> 03:07.852
the mission support group commander

03:07.852 --> 03:09.741
there to tie into the local honor

03:09.741 --> 03:09.630
flight folks . And we did something

03:09.630 --> 03:12.740
called Honor Flight at home where we

03:12.740 --> 03:14.629
went to those folks that couldn't

03:14.629 --> 03:16.851
travel to D . C . And C . The memorials

03:16.851 --> 03:19.018
and do all that stuff . And we brought

03:19.018 --> 03:21.184
the experience to them a slide deck in

03:21.184 --> 03:23.351
the memorials and I had an opportunity

03:23.351 --> 03:25.407
to thank them for their service . Um

03:25.407 --> 03:27.573
But it was that thoughtful approach to

03:27.573 --> 03:29.573
saying thank you uh that thoughtful

03:29.573 --> 03:31.684
approach just to show caring for your

03:31.684 --> 03:33.796
service and what you've done . Uh And

03:33.796 --> 03:36.160
and to see the joy um quite frankly to

03:36.160 --> 03:39.040
see the tears uh of gratitude for

03:39.040 --> 03:41.262
somebody recognizing them for what they

03:41.262 --> 03:43.360
were doing . Um That brings me joy

03:43.840 --> 03:46.110
alright , that lights my fire . Uh And

03:46.110 --> 03:48.221
that's what happens when you approach

03:48.221 --> 03:50.221
life through thoughtfulness through

03:50.221 --> 03:52.390
deliberate caring through deliberate

03:52.390 --> 03:55.100
acts out there is you re ignite your

03:55.100 --> 03:57.750
fire every single day by doing

03:57.750 --> 04:00.210
something for somebody else uh whenever

04:00.210 --> 04:03.890
you invest in somebody uh and maybe

04:03.890 --> 04:05.960
it's mentoring , uh maybe it's

04:05.960 --> 04:08.040
professional development , uh maybe

04:08.040 --> 04:10.096
it's getting the team together to go

04:10.096 --> 04:11.984
out and volunteer and it could be

04:11.984 --> 04:13.873
something as simple as a roadside

04:13.873 --> 04:15.929
pickup or go into a veterans home or

04:15.929 --> 04:18.730
the V . A . Or go into any number of

04:18.740 --> 04:20.907
activities and embedding yourself into

04:20.907 --> 04:23.540
the community and giving back . Uh and

04:23.540 --> 04:25.429
the team comes together , they're

04:25.429 --> 04:27.740
sharing experiences , they're having

04:27.740 --> 04:30.430
some fun . Uh And and again you just

04:30.430 --> 04:33.800
see that fire inside them reignite the

04:33.810 --> 04:35.754
passion for giving the passion for

04:35.754 --> 04:38.300
caring and that thoughtfulness that

04:38.300 --> 04:40.450
they have for somebody else that in

04:40.450 --> 04:43.570
turn reinvesting themselves . Yes sir .

04:43.570 --> 04:46.050
You know you have to give back right

04:46.140 --> 04:48.029
and it's those little things that

04:48.029 --> 04:50.251
matter , you know pulling the thread at

04:50.251 --> 04:52.473
that honor flight , you know when I did

04:52.473 --> 04:51.380
it indeed , I got to do it at the

04:51.380 --> 04:53.547
pentagon . So we uh we were in D . C .

04:53.547 --> 04:56.250
Reagan Airport and uh it was amazing to

04:56.250 --> 04:58.306
me , you know like we have this full

04:58.306 --> 05:00.528
line , you know in the terminal of when

05:00.528 --> 05:02.417
they're coming through the little

05:02.417 --> 05:04.583
tarmac or they're coming off the plane

05:04.583 --> 05:04.510
and you see everybody coming through

05:04.510 --> 05:06.566
and they all have their hats and you

05:06.566 --> 05:08.621
know they're all talking and they're

05:08.621 --> 05:08.320
just proud , they're like shaking every

05:08.320 --> 05:10.376
one of our hands , they're just like

05:10.376 --> 05:12.598
they're smiling ear to ear and you know

05:12.598 --> 05:12.050
you're there at first and you're just

05:12.050 --> 05:13.828
like oh man , another volunteer

05:13.828 --> 05:15.994
opportunity , what am I getting out of

05:15.994 --> 05:18.161
this ? What am I getting out of this ?

05:18.161 --> 05:20.383
I'm not getting anything out of it when

05:20.383 --> 05:22.494
I saw their faces all of oh my gosh ,

05:22.494 --> 05:22.330
the pride they had that we were

05:22.330 --> 05:24.386
standing there in uniform for them ,

05:24.386 --> 05:26.552
that was all I needed . I was like man

05:26.552 --> 05:28.830
why am I complaining ? This is amazing .

05:28.830 --> 05:28.530
And then I felt bad like I'm gonna do

05:28.530 --> 05:30.697
it again , it's awesome . And then you

05:30.697 --> 05:32.808
know everybody comes through that can

05:32.808 --> 05:35.030
walk and you're like oh we're done . No

05:35.030 --> 05:37.086
no no . Then you have all the people

05:37.086 --> 05:35.970
that have to come through on a

05:35.970 --> 05:38.137
wheelchair and you have all the people

05:38.137 --> 05:40.137
pushing people in wheelchairs , the

05:40.137 --> 05:39.930
ones that can't walk , The ones that

05:39.930 --> 05:42.152
are just that wanted this flight , it's

05:42.152 --> 05:44.374
probably the last flight they will ever

05:44.374 --> 05:46.486
take in their life to come to D . C .

05:46.486 --> 05:48.708
To go around and see the memorials that

05:48.708 --> 05:50.708
they served in . And you know , one

05:50.708 --> 05:49.990
thing that's crazy sir , when you think

05:49.990 --> 05:52.320
of our veterans , They're not 2030

05:52.320 --> 05:54.431
years service members . Some of these

05:54.431 --> 05:56.940
guys were two years , four years , six

05:56.940 --> 05:59.270
years and the only thing they think of

05:59.270 --> 06:01.540
the rest of their life was those 246

06:01.540 --> 06:03.960
years they served . Why is that how

06:03.960 --> 06:06.238
thoughtful was that part of their life ?

06:06.238 --> 06:08.360
How how much did that part of service

06:08.360 --> 06:10.693
mean to them and they miss it every day ?

06:10.693 --> 06:12.749
They've never found it again and all

06:12.749 --> 06:14.749
they think about is the people they

06:14.749 --> 06:14.390
serve with to the left and right . And

06:14.390 --> 06:16.501
I think something we take for granted

06:16.501 --> 06:18.612
in services , how how , how important

06:18.612 --> 06:20.668
services but how important our teams

06:20.668 --> 06:22.779
are . And you said it perfectly , you

06:22.779 --> 06:24.612
know , when we got to find those

06:24.612 --> 06:26.779
opportunities , not as an organization

06:26.779 --> 06:28.834
to do mission to do stuff that's not

06:28.834 --> 06:28.670
about mission that builds relationships

06:28.670 --> 06:30.892
that help mission . You know , there is

06:30.892 --> 06:32.670
nothing . I love it when people

06:32.670 --> 06:34.837
complain about a car wash man , that's

06:34.837 --> 06:34.710
some of the most fun I've ever had with

06:34.710 --> 06:36.877
my team . Every time the kernel walked

06:36.877 --> 06:39.099
by were like spraying them , you know ,

06:39.099 --> 06:41.210
are spraying , you know like , I mean

06:41.210 --> 06:43.488
those are things that bring , you know ,

06:43.488 --> 06:45.543
there are small actions that bring ,

06:45.543 --> 06:47.877
brings kind of togetherness to the team ,

06:47.877 --> 06:50.099
Bring openness to the team . They bring

06:50.099 --> 06:49.470
people willing to talk to each other

06:49.480 --> 06:51.647
because you're seeing and then you see

06:51.647 --> 06:53.702
families more . We gotta get back to

06:53.702 --> 06:53.630
that . Sir . I think something with

06:53.630 --> 06:55.686
covid this last year because I don't

06:55.686 --> 06:57.908
know if we've done as much volunteering

06:57.908 --> 06:59.908
as we could . I don't know if we've

06:59.908 --> 06:59.630
thought of ways to get out there and do

06:59.630 --> 07:01.741
those small bake sales cookie , say ,

07:01.741 --> 07:04.510
uh , carwashes , volunteer at the

07:04.510 --> 07:06.677
veterans home , you know , give back ,

07:06.677 --> 07:08.732
you know , think about veterans home

07:08.732 --> 07:10.788
runs over the last year . You know ,

07:10.788 --> 07:13.121
have they seen enough of us ? Have they ,

07:13.121 --> 07:12.480
what are they going through ? And this

07:12.480 --> 07:14.647
is the end of their lives , You know ,

07:14.647 --> 07:16.813
those last couple of years or what are

07:16.813 --> 07:19.036
they gonna remember about service ? But

07:19.036 --> 07:19.030
more importantly , what are they going

07:19.030 --> 07:21.252
to remember about the people that serve

07:21.252 --> 07:23.030
now ? And I think we have to be

07:23.030 --> 07:22.950
thoughtful to that and we have to think

07:22.950 --> 07:25.117
about that because that's important as

07:25.117 --> 07:27.228
we go forward , sir . Yeah , I mean ,

07:27.228 --> 07:29.394
thoughtful drives actions , right ? Uh

07:29.394 --> 07:31.600
We've talked a little bit about um

07:31.610 --> 07:33.832
being thoughtful towards others , being

07:33.832 --> 07:35.999
deliberate and caring towards others ,

07:35.999 --> 07:38.490
making deliberate decisions to invest

07:38.490 --> 07:41.330
in the lives of others . Um , but

07:41.340 --> 07:45.320
thoughtful about yourself is important

07:45.320 --> 07:48.680
too . Um it's amazing how powerful

07:48.680 --> 07:51.560
thoughts are uh to impact your state of

07:51.560 --> 07:54.540
mind . Uh think about how many times

07:54.540 --> 07:57.350
throughout your life um you've had

07:57.350 --> 07:59.517
those thoughts and we've all had these

07:59.517 --> 08:02.990
thoughts of , I can't do this . Um I'm

08:02.990 --> 08:06.150
overweight , I don't have the drive ,

08:06.160 --> 08:08.570
I'm not smart enough , I don't have the

08:08.570 --> 08:11.270
time to do this . And you , you know ,

08:11.270 --> 08:13.400
once or twice is one thing , but

08:13.400 --> 08:15.770
whenever it becomes repetitive , that

08:15.770 --> 08:17.714
becomes a habit and that becomes a

08:17.714 --> 08:19.659
belief and that drives the way you

08:19.659 --> 08:21.603
approach things right ? And on the

08:21.603 --> 08:24.360
other side , you have folks that , hey ,

08:24.370 --> 08:27.060
I'm all on this , I'm in , I'm gonna be

08:27.060 --> 08:29.340
the best that I can be . Uh and and

08:29.340 --> 08:32.650
those thoughts power them to greatness .

08:32.660 --> 08:36.150
Uh and thoughts can impact your health ,

08:36.150 --> 08:38.206
thoughts can impact your mental well

08:38.206 --> 08:40.261
being , thoughts impact your actions

08:40.261 --> 08:42.510
each and every day . And so we need to

08:42.510 --> 08:45.350
be deliberate in our thoughtfulness in

08:45.350 --> 08:48.190
our mindset and the way we take care of

08:48.190 --> 08:51.390
ourselves and the way we , the story we

08:51.390 --> 08:54.230
tell ourselves because that's gonna

08:54.230 --> 08:57.900
impact how we respond . Uh that's going

08:57.900 --> 08:59.900
to impact our actions in day to day

08:59.900 --> 09:03.780
life . Uh So where does that

09:03.780 --> 09:06.002
kind of take you ? What , what have you

09:06.002 --> 09:08.280
seen ? What have you rumbled with that ?

09:08.280 --> 09:10.502
So that's great . You know , I just got

09:10.502 --> 09:10.260
done reading the book . Stillness is

09:10.260 --> 09:12.427
the stillness is the key . And I think

09:12.427 --> 09:14.649
you all , you had recommended that book

09:14.649 --> 09:16.538
and you know , there's some great

09:16.538 --> 09:16.140
experts in that book , you know ,

09:16.140 --> 09:18.473
talking about john f Kennedy , you know ,

09:18.473 --> 09:20.473
when you're going through the Cuban

09:20.473 --> 09:22.584
missile crisis and uh , you know , um

09:22.584 --> 09:24.751
um ann frank , you know , when she was

09:24.751 --> 09:26.918
going through the whole , she was in a

09:26.918 --> 09:28.973
roof or an addict for two years with

09:28.973 --> 09:31.251
her family during the whole , you know ,

09:31.251 --> 09:33.029
World War Two and the nazis and

09:33.029 --> 09:35.084
everything and you know , as a jew ,

09:35.084 --> 09:34.570
you know , what could she do ? You know ,

09:34.570 --> 09:36.792
they couldn't go anywhere and you think

09:36.792 --> 09:39.014
about like their minds and how they got

09:39.014 --> 09:41.070
through that and the and the thought

09:41.070 --> 09:43.126
process of , you know , slowing down

09:43.126 --> 09:45.292
and kind of and and and being still in

09:45.292 --> 09:47.514
your thoughts and not letting your mind

09:47.514 --> 09:49.514
rumble with what is not going on or

09:49.514 --> 09:51.514
rumble with what could be bad And I

09:51.514 --> 09:51.470
think something , we don't do good as a

09:51.470 --> 09:53.960
team and leadership is a , I'm not ,

09:53.970 --> 09:56.026
I'm not , I'm not getting to the why

09:56.026 --> 09:58.192
part of thought . Like we need to give

09:58.192 --> 10:00.192
the why it's more like just to slow

10:00.192 --> 10:02.359
things down sometimes , you know , not

10:02.359 --> 10:04.470
to make everything the most important

10:04.470 --> 10:04.160
thing ever . Like every day we come in ,

10:04.540 --> 10:06.707
Hey , we gotta get this done . This is

10:06.707 --> 10:08.818
the most important thing of the day .

10:08.818 --> 10:08.730
We'll wait , You said yesterday , this

10:08.730 --> 10:10.897
is the most important thing we've ever

10:10.897 --> 10:13.063
had to do . We have to be cognizant of

10:13.063 --> 10:15.063
that because that , that can really

10:15.063 --> 10:17.286
help impact people's mental state . And

10:17.286 --> 10:19.452
you know , every day they're trying to

10:19.452 --> 10:18.650
put out a fire every day . They're

10:18.650 --> 10:20.761
trying to put out a fire . You know ,

10:20.761 --> 10:22.872
if it's not like that for life site ,

10:22.872 --> 10:24.817
you know , like we gotta be really

10:24.817 --> 10:24.280
cognizant of letting people have a

10:24.280 --> 10:26.502
little bit of a moment , you know , and

10:26.502 --> 10:28.724
when we're just always on the ghosts or

10:28.724 --> 10:30.836
I really feel like sometimes the team

10:30.836 --> 10:32.836
just , they don't know what is more

10:32.836 --> 10:35.002
important and how does that hurt ? And

10:35.002 --> 10:34.700
you know , we got to be thoughtful of

10:34.700 --> 10:36.811
that . We have to think what is as an

10:36.811 --> 10:38.978
organization , we find important , you

10:38.978 --> 10:41.144
know , and we , and I would tell , you

10:41.144 --> 10:40.910
know , we've talked about this culture

10:40.910 --> 10:43.077
and climate , you know , like what are

10:43.077 --> 10:45.188
we find important if that's the thing

10:45.188 --> 10:47.354
we say is important , if innovation is

10:47.354 --> 10:47.190
the thing we said , we've got to be

10:47.190 --> 10:49.301
thoughtful of that , that if it's not

10:49.301 --> 10:51.523
dealing with that , hey , we might need

10:51.523 --> 10:53.690
to say , okay , we're gonna try to get

10:53.690 --> 10:53.330
this done and we're gonna push back on

10:53.330 --> 10:55.663
this , we're gonna do everything we can .

10:55.663 --> 10:57.663
But I think sometimes just the , we

10:57.663 --> 10:59.774
don't slow down enough , you know , I

10:59.774 --> 11:01.830
think it was a couple , a couple Fmc

11:01.830 --> 11:04.052
connects . Like I talked about the five

11:04.052 --> 11:06.108
and 25 taking that five minute break

11:06.108 --> 11:08.108
multiple times a day where you just

11:08.108 --> 11:10.108
turn everything off . Don't look at

11:10.108 --> 11:12.219
your phone even you sir , I know your

11:12.219 --> 11:11.550
phone goes off a lot more than mine ,

11:12.040 --> 11:14.262
but don't look at it for five minutes ,

11:14.262 --> 11:16.151
take a moment to think about what

11:16.151 --> 11:18.262
you're happy for , What are you proud

11:18.262 --> 11:20.540
of ? Why ? Why do you love your family ?

11:20.540 --> 11:20.030
Have you told them you loved them today ?

11:20.040 --> 11:22.040
You know , think about those things

11:22.040 --> 11:24.096
that really can help your thoughts ,

11:24.096 --> 11:23.790
like your thought process , but also

11:23.790 --> 11:25.679
make you happy for what you where

11:25.679 --> 11:27.734
you're at in life . Um , in too many

11:27.734 --> 11:29.901
times we focus on what we're not happy

11:29.901 --> 11:31.957
about . Yeah . And at the end of the

11:31.957 --> 11:34.012
day , being thoughtful , drives your

11:34.012 --> 11:36.234
story right ? And you can be the author

11:36.234 --> 11:38.568
of your story , whatever it wants to be .

11:38.568 --> 11:40.512
Uh and so the story you're telling

11:40.512 --> 11:42.734
yourself is the story you're gonna live

11:42.734 --> 11:44.623
out . And so if you tell yourself

11:44.623 --> 11:44.230
negative thoughts , you're gonna live

11:44.230 --> 11:46.420
out negative thoughts . If you tell

11:46.420 --> 11:48.420
yourself positive thoughts , you're

11:48.420 --> 11:50.587
gonna live out positive actions uh and

11:50.587 --> 11:52.476
so think through the story you're

11:52.476 --> 11:54.698
telling yourself and then be thoughtful

11:54.698 --> 11:56.920
and deliberate in the actions and those

11:56.920 --> 11:56.440
actions may be the actions with the

11:56.440 --> 11:58.107
team , right ? You want to be

11:58.107 --> 12:00.051
deliberate and thoughtful and what

12:00.051 --> 12:02.107
we're doing to take care of the team

12:02.107 --> 12:01.920
deliberate and thoughtful and the

12:01.920 --> 12:04.142
missions and how we're going to execute

12:04.142 --> 12:06.031
those missions and deliberate and

12:06.031 --> 12:08.253
thoughtful and any of those engagements

12:08.253 --> 12:10.476
that we have out there uh but recognize

12:10.476 --> 12:10.330
that you control that story , right ?

12:10.330 --> 12:12.274
You you are the author of your own

12:12.274 --> 12:14.590
narrative uh and and the way you shape

12:14.590 --> 12:16.812
that is the thoughts that you're having

12:16.812 --> 12:19.034
and the thoughtful approach that you're

12:19.034 --> 12:21.368
taking ? We see in our character traits ,

12:21.368 --> 12:23.090
right , caring is one of those

12:23.090 --> 12:25.146
character traits we expect of the 88

12:25.146 --> 12:27.257
air base wing , and that is driven by

12:27.257 --> 12:29.201
thoughtfulness , respect , right ,

12:29.201 --> 12:30.930
collaboration . Those are all

12:30.940 --> 12:33.162
thoughtful approaches to way that way ,

12:33.162 --> 12:35.329
that way we get after things . So it's

12:35.329 --> 12:37.107
been a great conversation about

12:37.107 --> 12:39.162
thoughtfulness chief , I'll give you

12:39.162 --> 12:41.384
the parting thoughts any last words and

12:41.384 --> 12:43.607
thoughtful as we head into the month of

12:43.607 --> 12:45.773
november , we celebrate thanksgiving ,

12:45.773 --> 12:47.829
we celebrate veteran's day . My only

12:47.829 --> 12:49.940
ask of folks is think of a way to get

12:49.940 --> 12:52.820
back , right think of a way to get back

12:52.820 --> 12:54.876
and so what's your parting thought ?

12:54.876 --> 12:57.042
Alright parting thoughts circa one , I

12:57.042 --> 12:59.042
hope I didn't mess up the intro . I

12:59.042 --> 12:59.010
know you're a lot better at the intro .

12:59.010 --> 13:01.260
So I tried uh I will say this sir . You

13:01.260 --> 13:04.120
know , two things . One man , like you

13:04.120 --> 13:06.287
said , we have a lot , a lot of things

13:06.287 --> 13:08.398
we need to do as an organization just

13:08.398 --> 13:10.453
to get after to be thoughtful . What

13:10.453 --> 13:12.620
are we thoughtful for ? Have we talked

13:12.620 --> 13:12.590
to our team about what we're proud of ,

13:12.600 --> 13:14.489
What are we thoughtful for in our

13:14.489 --> 13:16.656
organization ? What do we , what do we

13:16.656 --> 13:18.711
do every day that we're proud of and

13:18.711 --> 13:18.200
maybe have those conversations that

13:18.200 --> 13:20.200
stimulate what do we thankful for ?

13:20.200 --> 13:22.422
Right ? It is thanksgiving . You know ,

13:22.422 --> 13:24.644
there's a lot of things going on and we

13:24.644 --> 13:24.060
should think about that and then , you

13:24.060 --> 13:26.060
know , december is right around the

13:26.060 --> 13:28.338
corner and then I , I guess for me sir ,

13:28.338 --> 13:30.393
I would just like to say , man , I'm

13:30.393 --> 13:32.449
just thankful for the team . We have

13:32.449 --> 13:34.560
done so much . We've , we had so many

13:34.560 --> 13:36.782
things go on over the last quarter . Um

13:36.782 --> 13:38.893
and then we're driving into this next

13:38.893 --> 13:38.730
quarter ending out the year and I

13:38.730 --> 13:40.897
couldn't be more proud of what they do

13:40.897 --> 13:43.063
every day . Could be proud of how much

13:43.063 --> 13:42.990
people take care of each other ,

13:43.010 --> 13:44.954
couldn't be proud of how much work

13:44.954 --> 13:47.121
we're getting out of people man , it's

13:47.121 --> 13:49.343
just an amazing culture that we've , we

13:49.343 --> 13:49.300
have and I think if the team kind

13:49.300 --> 13:51.411
embraces the same FMC connector talks

13:51.411 --> 13:53.633
about this . It's a great topic to talk

13:53.633 --> 13:55.744
to your teams and I'm looking forward

13:55.744 --> 13:57.800
to our next talk in december , sir .

13:57.800 --> 13:59.740
Well , awesome stuff , too . Yeah .
