00:04.140 --> 00:07.460
Yeah ,

00:09.440 --> 00:11.820
greetings . Shipmates . I'm chief Cody

00:11.820 --> 00:14.210
Simms , Navy Reserve Force Master Chief

00:14.210 --> 00:16.377
Hunt and I are working on an important

00:16.377 --> 00:18.432
project creating a culture of safety

00:18.432 --> 00:20.610
for our force , every one of you are

00:20.610 --> 00:22.770
precious and valued and we need to

00:22.770 --> 00:25.400
protect and further project a safety

00:25.400 --> 00:28.400
net for all of us . Shipmates , let's

00:28.400 --> 00:30.567
face it . The past two years have been

00:30.567 --> 00:33.410
tough and unprecedented in our military

00:33.420 --> 00:35.960
family and civilian lives . But we've

00:35.960 --> 00:37.793
come together and learned how to

00:37.793 --> 00:40.360
persevere and even excel in extremely

00:40.360 --> 00:42.800
difficult times while we hope to return

00:42.800 --> 00:44.856
to our pre pandemic lifestyle in the

00:44.856 --> 00:46.856
not too distant future . We are not

00:46.856 --> 00:49.078
there yet . We need to remain resilient

00:49.078 --> 00:51.189
and vigilant and continue to look out

00:51.189 --> 00:53.522
for each other even beyond the pandemic .

00:53.522 --> 00:56.500
Shipmates take care of shipmates . If

00:56.500 --> 00:58.500
you see even a small change in your

00:58.500 --> 01:00.500
shipmates behavior , trust your gut

01:00.640 --> 01:02.760
reach out , ask how they're doing and

01:02.770 --> 01:05.000
actively listen to their response . If

01:05.000 --> 01:07.167
need be connect them with the military

01:07.167 --> 01:09.333
resource such as a military chaplain ,

01:09.333 --> 01:11.350
api hop or their chain of command .

01:11.440 --> 01:13.610
Being told you're tough or you handle

01:13.610 --> 01:15.777
hard situations well . Can feel like a

01:15.777 --> 01:17.999
badge of honor or convince you that you

01:17.999 --> 01:20.221
can take on obstacles alone . However ,

01:20.221 --> 01:22.388
at some point in our lives we all need

01:22.388 --> 01:24.840
help from people around us asking for

01:24.840 --> 01:26.951
help is a sign of strength , building

01:26.951 --> 01:29.310
strong social ties and communities

01:29.400 --> 01:31.410
leads to a more happy and fulfilled

01:31.410 --> 01:34.200
life Reach out . Catch up with a

01:34.200 --> 01:36.960
shipmate friend or loved one make a

01:36.960 --> 01:39.540
phone call , send a text or just drop

01:39.540 --> 01:42.730
in on a friend . Mm hmm . Connection is

01:42.730 --> 01:45.440
essential during times of stress , add

01:45.440 --> 01:47.662
to our culture of safety by looking out

01:47.662 --> 01:49.996
for yourself for others and your family .

01:50.050 --> 01:53.530
We are stronger together . And as force
