Were you 25:42.300 --> 25:44.356 ever screaming eagle ? Have you ever 25:44.356 --> 25:46.522 served in the center of the universe ? 25:46.740 --> 25:48.920 Have you ever climbed the glory If you 25:48.920 --> 25:51.220 have the chances are that one of the 25:51.220 --> 25:53.442 senior noncommissioned officers in your 25:53.442 --> 25:55.776 formation is a product of SAR Major tag . 25:57.040 --> 25:58.984 The Acorns don't fall far from the 25:58.984 --> 26:02.360 Mighty Oak .

Sar major 26:11.462 --> 26:13.629 tag may be highly decorated , but he's 26:13.629 --> 26:15.796 always humble when private tag entered 26:15.796 --> 26:18.570 the service a long time ago . American 26:18.570 --> 26:20.626 culture was a little bit different . 26:20.840 --> 26:22.840 Mike . Tyson had just won his first 26:22.840 --> 26:24.618 professional heavyweight boxing 26:24.618 --> 26:27.610 champion championship . Okay , that's 26:27.610 --> 26:29.610 the guy who's in those movies now . 26:29.610 --> 26:31.499 Right . But at one point he was a 26:31.499 --> 26:33.610 formidable fighter . Cell phones were 26:33.610 --> 26:37.250 the size of cinder blocks . The 26:37.260 --> 26:39.482 Chicago Bears have just crushed the New 26:39.482 --> 26:41.482 England Patriots at Super Bowl 20 . 26:42.040 --> 26:44.262 That was six Super Bowl Championships . 26:44.262 --> 26:46.990 A ghost . As you've often heard me say , 26:46.990 --> 26:49.212 they get paid a king's ransom to play a 26:49.212 --> 26:51.323 child's game . That's our major tag . 26:51.323 --> 26:53.920 You've led and served in the ultimate 26:53.920 --> 26:56.190 contact profession . He'd go on to 26:56.190 --> 26:58.523 serve his division core and sub unified , 26:58.523 --> 27:00.357 commence our major for his great 27:00.357 --> 27:02.468 success are major tag became known as 27:02.468 --> 27:04.634 the manny , Pacquiao ceo of the army . 27:05.040 --> 27:07.096 Not bad for a young man from a small 27:07.096 --> 27:09.500 town , the Philippines . So our major 27:09.500 --> 27:11.556 tag is an inspiration to many across 27:11.556 --> 27:14.120 our ranks . We can learn from his 27:14.120 --> 27:16.120 career that if you take the time to 27:16.120 --> 27:18.287 dedicate yourself to the profession of 27:18.287 --> 27:20.950 arms to learn and grow , then you will 27:20.950 --> 27:24.240 be successful in your job , do that and 27:24.240 --> 27:26.573 you will help make your team successful . 27:27.240 --> 27:29.460 These are major tag . Now let's decide 27:29.460 --> 27:31.627 what he's gonna do for the rest of his 27:31.627 --> 27:33.580 life . You have more time to watch 27:33.580 --> 27:36.280 football . He's a longtime broncos fan , 27:36.450 --> 27:38.561 at least he's headed , good luck with 27:38.561 --> 27:40.728 that . At least he's headed to florida 27:40.728 --> 27:42.950 where they do have pretty good football 27:42.950 --> 27:46.040 teams or so I'm told if football 27:46.040 --> 27:48.096 doesn't work out then at least we'll 27:48.096 --> 27:51.200 have plenty of time for golf . I've 27:51.200 --> 27:53.200 often heard SAr Major attacks speak 27:53.200 --> 27:55.311 fondly and with deep gratitude of his 27:55.311 --> 27:57.370 family , his wife Carolyn , His 27:57.370 --> 27:59.450 daughters Melanie and Stephanie 27:59.450 --> 28:01.506 Grandson Carter , his mother Dee and 28:01.506 --> 28:03.672 his Father Rick who served 27 years in 28:03.672 --> 28:05.728 the military .

General George Patton once 28:21.910 --> 28:24.132 said it's better to fight for something 28:24.132 --> 28:28.090 than to live for nothing . It's our 28:28.090 --> 28:30.257 major tag .

I think of how the UN's first 34:31.973 --> 34:33.973 collective security mission and the 34:33.973 --> 34:35.918 oldest of three commands . I think 34:35.918 --> 34:37.973 about how U . N . C . Support of the 34:37.973 --> 34:40.029 Comprehensive military agreement has 34:40.029 --> 34:42.307 encompassed so much no failed projects , 34:42.307 --> 34:44.300 all of which we're a historical 34:44.300 --> 34:46.670 importance projects that included the 34:46.670 --> 34:49.000 demilitarization of the J .

When I think about 35:23.670 --> 35:25.892 combined forces command , there's a lot 35:25.892 --> 35:28.340 that comes to mind . I think about how 35:28.340 --> 35:30.920 we have strengthened our alliance to 35:30.920 --> 35:33.330 personal relationships and through 35:33.340 --> 35:35.990 mutual respect and moral courage and 35:35.990 --> 35:39.260 cultural understanding .

When I say , the only 40:04.854 --> 40:06.743 thing that service members really 40:06.743 --> 40:08.640 deserve is good leadership . 40:11.210 --> 40:14.130 Now as I retire , many are wondering 40:14.610 --> 40:17.720 what's next ? I've heard some say I 40:17.720 --> 40:19.776 can't , I can't believe he joined in 40:19.776 --> 40:23.400 1986 . Yes , I have boots 40:23.410 --> 40:25.299 older than most . 1st sergeants . 40:27.610 --> 40:30.070 I joined in the army in a different 40:30.070 --> 40:33.790 time . I came from up here that I came 40:33.790 --> 40:36.130 from a from a period in the army where 40:36.140 --> 40:38.850 if you broke a bone instead of going to 40:38.850 --> 40:42.340 the doctors , just take a knee , drink 40:42.340 --> 40:44.390 water and change your socks . 40:46.510 --> 40:48.430 Those were the old days when rock 40:48.430 --> 40:50.940 marches were uphill both ways 40:53.380 --> 40:57.130 and the army issued a half a 10 Darrell . 40:57.130 --> 40:59.130 The camera had the other half so we 40:59.130 --> 41:03.030 don't get wet at night . And 41:03.030 --> 41:05.197 we had an extra phase in ranger school 41:06.410 --> 41:08.140 back when the army was hard . 41:11.610 --> 41:13.832 That all seemed like a good time at the 41:13.832 --> 41:15.943 time . But I recently changed my mind 41:15.943 --> 41:17.332 during my V . A physical 41:20.300 --> 41:22.640 In 1986 . Ronald Reagan was president . 41:23.410 --> 41:25.750 There was no internet , no email , no 41:25.750 --> 41:28.190 iphone . That was good times back then . 41:29.310 --> 41:31.310 The average cost of a new house was 41:31.310 --> 41:35.060 $89,430 . The average 41:35.060 --> 41:38.140 price of a new car was $9,255 . 41:39.010 --> 41:41.010 And get this a gallon of gas was 89 41:41.010 --> 41:44.940 cents . Uh huh , yep . Those 41:44.940 --> 41:47.740 days are long gone . The Boston Celtics 41:47.750 --> 41:49.917 won the NBA Championship . But it took 41:49.917 --> 41:52.083 over 20 years to get it back . Haley's 41:52.083 --> 41:54.083 comet . They just visited our solar 41:54.083 --> 41:56.083 system And the next time it will be 41:56.083 --> 41:59.050 seen will be in 2061 . I'm , I hope I'm 41:59.050 --> 42:02.230 still around for that . And the reason 42:02.800 --> 42:05.022 an inspiration from my joining the army 42:06.000 --> 42:07.944 can be found from one of the great 42:07.944 --> 42:10.370 movies that year . one of the Greatest 42:10.370 --> 42:13.430 Movie of All Times . Rambo first blood . 42:16.600 --> 42:18.767 It's classic . At least at least to me 42:20.800 --> 42:22.911 on top on the subject of movies , the 42:22.911 --> 42:25.510 movie , top Gun starring tom cruise 42:25.520 --> 42:28.290 debut . And if you took your too young , 42:28.290 --> 42:30.234 don't worry , they came out with a 42:30.234 --> 42:34.180 sequel . You 42:34.180 --> 42:36.800 see my passion has always been to be 42:36.800 --> 42:39.640 around war fighters . Our service 42:39.640 --> 42:43.170 members perhaps later I'll pursue 42:43.170 --> 42:45.226 another career that will continue to 42:45.226 --> 42:47.680 support them . But first I will enjoy 42:47.680 --> 42:51.600 my family and spoil my 42:51.600 --> 42:54.610 grandson . We share the same passion 42:55.000 --> 42:57.430 just like general camera said , we 42:57.430 --> 42:59.708 share the outdoors , golfing , fishing , 42:59.708 --> 43:02.740 soccer and physical fitness . Now I 43:02.740 --> 43:05.740 couldn't retire until I mentioned a few 43:05.740 --> 43:07.900 superstars who developed me and 43:07.900 --> 43:11.040 mentored me along the way that elite 43:11.040 --> 43:13.151 group of commands are majors who were 43:13.151 --> 43:15.380 my compass , who gave me direction and 43:15.380 --> 43:18.420 motivation who molded me into who I am 43:18.420 --> 43:22.330 today .
