My name is Captain Rochelle thomas . I

00:05.907 --> 00:07.962
am an intelligence officer with area

00:07.962 --> 00:09.684
support group kuwait . What is

00:09.684 --> 00:11.740
happening here today is the kindness

00:11.740 --> 00:13.851
matters resiliency event where we are

00:13.851 --> 00:13.840
highlighting resiliency within our

00:13.840 --> 00:15.951
ranks and within the military here on

00:15.951 --> 00:18.150
campus . With john A lot went into

00:18.150 --> 00:20.317
planning this event . As you can see ,

00:20.317 --> 00:22.372
we've partnered with the USO , we've

00:22.372 --> 00:24.539
partnered with our chaplain's office ,

00:24.539 --> 00:26.650
we have partnered with our behavioral

00:26.650 --> 00:28.539
health team and the army wellness

00:28.539 --> 00:30.761
Clinic . So a lot of teamwork went into

00:30.761 --> 00:32.817
this . The bench unveiling signifies

00:32.817 --> 00:35.094
finding the beauty in our surroundings .

00:35.094 --> 00:36.817
And so what we wanted to do is

00:36.817 --> 00:39.039
highlight the beauty and looking on the

00:39.039 --> 00:41.094
bright side with the yellow and then

00:41.094 --> 00:43.510
with the new bench for soldiers to sit

00:43.510 --> 00:45.840
down and take in what they see around

00:45.840 --> 00:48.130
them . Our behavioral health team with

00:48.130 --> 00:50.297
the Army wellness Center will be doing

00:50.297 --> 00:52.352
some team building exercises . So we

00:52.352 --> 00:54.297
have cup stacking which highlights

00:54.297 --> 00:56.519
cohesion amongst team members . We have

00:56.519 --> 00:58.630
blindfolded Django , which highlights

00:58.630 --> 01:00.852
trust and communication . And so all of

01:00.852 --> 01:02.910
these things build and understanding

01:02.910 --> 01:04.966
how to talk with each other , how to

01:04.966 --> 01:06.966
talk through your problems , how to

01:06.966 --> 01:08.799
communicate that what we want to

01:08.799 --> 01:10.799
accomplish today is for soldiers to

01:10.799 --> 01:12.966
know that there are different forms of

01:12.966 --> 01:14.854
resiliency . We want to highlight

01:14.854 --> 01:17.021
resiliency as a concept . Um , so that

01:17.021 --> 01:18.966
soldiers know that it's not just a

01:18.966 --> 01:21.130
basic definition , but rather a work

01:21.140 --> 01:24.380
around , work up to work with working

01:24.380 --> 01:26.380
through the adversity that they may

01:26.380 --> 01:27.560
face as soldiers
