WEBVTT 00:51.869 --> 00:54.419 This is unfunctional whenever you're 00:54.430 --> 00:56.263 finding a flyer . You actually . 00:58.459 --> 00:59.459 Yeah , I , 01:29.720 --> 01:30.720 I do 02:05.220 --> 02:08.110 Roc . Yeah , 02:28.279 --> 02:30.557 the door . You have a coverage , right ? 02:43.440 --> 02:44.440 Hold on . 03:11.199 --> 03:12.699 Hey , are you guys ready ? 03:15.910 --> 03:19.529 See you guys ready de la 03:21.580 --> 03:23.747 Make what you come in here some time . 03:24.990 --> 03:27.157 I wanna go on air right now . You guys 03:27.157 --> 03:29.179 good . Go on out , on out 03:33.580 --> 03:36.240 and it's Frank , go , go , go to get in 06:08.869 --> 06:11.679 Captain Brent Spilner , been a United 06:11.690 --> 06:13.746 States Navy submarine officer for 24 06:13.746 --> 06:15.912 years now . I'm the commanding officer 06:15.912 --> 06:17.690 of Mrs Land . I grew up in Cary 06:17.690 --> 06:20.023 Illinois , which is a suburb of Chicago . 06:20.023 --> 06:21.746 Um Some of the things are real 06:21.746 --> 06:23.801 highlights for me . Definitely . All 06:23.801 --> 06:25.690 the times we solved a problem for 06:25.690 --> 06:27.912 someone . I've been very impressed with 06:27.912 --> 06:27.600 the repair department uh twice this 06:27.609 --> 06:29.831 year . They've done creative repairs on 06:29.831 --> 06:31.998 us , Michigan where there were some uh 06:31.998 --> 06:33.887 you know , hydraulic repairs that 06:33.887 --> 06:35.831 needed to happen . Uh The material 06:35.831 --> 06:37.942 called for in the ship's drawings was 06:37.942 --> 06:40.109 not available . And so our welding and 06:40.109 --> 06:42.053 machine shop came up with creative 06:42.053 --> 06:43.887 solutions to fabricate basically 06:43.887 --> 06:45.942 exactly what they needed to get that 06:45.942 --> 06:48.109 ship back out to sea . And weeks ahead 06:48.109 --> 06:47.869 of what the shipyard estimates would 06:47.880 --> 06:49.936 have been so that was great . But we 06:49.936 --> 06:52.158 see that every day , you know , weapons 06:52.158 --> 06:54.102 department has been pushing hard , 06:54.102 --> 06:56.269 bringing on some new capabilities . Uh 06:56.269 --> 06:58.380 pushing to get us , you know , better 06:58.380 --> 07:00.602 able to execute our expeditionary rearm 07:00.602 --> 07:02.713 mission when we deploy next year . Uh 07:02.713 --> 07:04.880 I'm inspired by that . I'm inspired by 07:04.880 --> 07:04.760 all the things they're doing , getting 07:04.769 --> 07:06.491 ready for harpoon missiles and 07:06.491 --> 07:08.713 everything else . Um Our nuclear repair 07:08.713 --> 07:10.880 uh divisions have been working hard uh 07:10.880 --> 07:12.991 developing what we call expanded core 07:12.991 --> 07:12.920 capabilities . They're doing 07:12.929 --> 07:15.151 certifications this week to do a pretty 07:15.151 --> 07:17.207 intense valve repair with free seals 07:17.207 --> 07:19.429 kind of thing . You'd normally only see 07:19.429 --> 07:21.540 in a shipyard and we're bringing that 07:21.540 --> 07:21.339 capability out to the Western Pacific 07:21.350 --> 07:23.572 tenders haven't done that for decades . 07:23.572 --> 07:25.628 And so that's inspiring to me and uh 07:25.628 --> 07:27.850 probably the biggest highlight though . 07:27.850 --> 07:30.128 It's not really a highlight , you know , 07:30.128 --> 07:32.350 typhoon May war striking the island was 07:32.350 --> 07:34.406 a tough time for everyone reinforced 07:34.406 --> 07:36.294 how fragile we are out here , the 07:36.294 --> 07:38.294 westernmost territory in the United 07:38.294 --> 07:38.279 States . But I was very proud to be 07:38.290 --> 07:40.401 part of team tender and see what they 07:40.401 --> 07:42.401 were doing in terms of restoring in 07:42.401 --> 07:44.512 hours or days , critical services and 07:44.512 --> 07:46.623 capabilities that would take weeks or 07:46.623 --> 07:48.846 months if you had to rely on off island 07:48.846 --> 07:50.679 contractors . So that was really 07:50.679 --> 07:52.846 inspiring to see the whole team tender 07:52.846 --> 07:55.068 family come together , working with our 07:55.068 --> 07:57.179 partners in the CBS , the performance 07:57.179 --> 07:56.709 monitoring team , et cetera , but doing 07:56.720 --> 07:58.540 a lot of good things for dod 07:58.549 --> 08:00.438 installations across Guam and the 08:00.438 --> 08:02.493 people of this beautiful island . So 08:02.493 --> 08:04.605 that was , uh you know , not the most 08:04.605 --> 08:06.605 enjoyable part of the summer and my 08:06.605 --> 08:08.771 command to her so far , but definitely 08:08.771 --> 08:10.771 uh inspiring and reminded me of why 08:10.771 --> 08:12.493 we're out here and why it's so 08:12.493 --> 08:14.660 important that we do what we do , like 08:14.660 --> 08:14.380 everybody , I think video games , 08:14.390 --> 08:16.399 skateboarding . Um I played on the 08:16.410 --> 08:18.521 tennis team when I was in high school 08:18.521 --> 08:20.799 and not quite as quick as I used to be , 08:20.799 --> 08:22.910 but that's what I enjoyed back then . 08:22.910 --> 08:25.077 Um , you know , we really , our nation 08:25.077 --> 08:27.299 could not do what we need to do without 08:27.299 --> 08:26.700 the tenders and the capabilities we 08:26.709 --> 08:28.765 bring . So it's been worth it . Your 08:28.765 --> 08:30.589 sacrifices are recognized and 08:30.600 --> 08:32.909 appreciated for some of you . I hope we 08:32.919 --> 08:35.141 get a little bit of a break this winter 08:35.141 --> 08:36.697 as we move into the midterm 08:36.697 --> 08:38.752 availability . A lot of our crew , I 08:38.752 --> 08:38.609 know we're gonna be going over to the 08:38.619 --> 08:40.452 cable and just , uh , you know , 08:40.452 --> 08:42.675 keeping up the pace with the , the lead 08:42.675 --> 08:44.897 maintenance activity . But , um , we're 08:44.897 --> 08:47.063 gonna try to make sure we take care of 08:47.063 --> 08:46.638 everybody . I hope everybody gets a 08:46.648 --> 08:48.759 chance to , to work on that work life 08:48.759 --> 08:50.870 balance . But , um , what you've been 08:50.870 --> 08:52.759 doing over the last six months is 08:52.759 --> 08:54.981 definitely paid off and we could not do 08:54.981 --> 08:54.948 that . Hey , good morning , uh 08:54.958 --> 08:56.838 Commander Mike Fasano , I'm the 08:56.848 --> 08:59.359 executive officer on the US SMRS land 08:59.479 --> 09:01.809 born uh in East Patch . Hog New York . 09:02.690 --> 09:05.549 So it's a tough question . I think I 09:05.559 --> 09:07.989 look at the pay disparity between 09:08.000 --> 09:10.222 junior enlisted as compared to the rate 09:10.222 --> 09:12.556 of inflation that the country is seeing . 09:12.556 --> 09:14.333 And while I know that there are 09:14.333 --> 09:17.580 initiatives to level that out , I think 09:17.590 --> 09:20.289 that I really want a bottom up approach 09:20.299 --> 09:22.859 to pay and allowances . Specifically , 09:22.869 --> 09:25.239 things like the cost of living 09:25.250 --> 09:27.472 allowance that sailors get when they're 09:27.479 --> 09:30.609 assigned overseas . I get that the 09:30.619 --> 09:33.309 government spending is a touchy subject 09:33.460 --> 09:35.516 and I know that there are probably a 09:35.516 --> 09:37.627 lot more smarter people than me doing 09:37.627 --> 09:39.571 this work . But I think we want to 09:39.571 --> 09:41.793 retain some of our best and brightest . 09:41.793 --> 09:43.904 We need to provide them with at least 09:43.904 --> 09:45.904 the monetary compensation that they 09:45.904 --> 09:47.960 could find elsewhere in the civilian 09:47.960 --> 09:50.127 sector . Yes . So we're in an exciting 09:50.127 --> 09:52.182 time right now on the Mrs land . I'm 09:52.182 --> 09:54.349 looking forward to transition into the 09:54.349 --> 09:56.571 midterm availability to get the ship in 09:56.571 --> 09:58.682 top material condition . So we can be 09:58.682 --> 10:00.682 ready to shift to the expeditionary 10:00.682 --> 10:02.516 deployment and go provide our uh 10:02.520 --> 10:05.630 impressive services to uh wherever the 10:05.640 --> 10:08.830 mission tasks us to . So uh looking 10:08.840 --> 10:11.210 forward to uh breaking vacuum from the 10:11.219 --> 10:14.229 pier and uh getting out to sea after uh 10:14.239 --> 10:16.570 kind of all my sea tour and stuff . My 10:16.580 --> 10:18.691 midlife crisis was I always wanted to 10:18.691 --> 10:21.869 learn how to fly . So uh I worked 10:21.880 --> 10:23.602 really hard and I earned every 10:23.602 --> 10:25.658 certification all the way up through 10:25.658 --> 10:27.713 flight instructor and I enjoy flying 10:27.713 --> 10:29.769 and teaching others about aviation . 10:30.099 --> 10:32.429 I've been doing this , not the XO gig , 10:32.440 --> 10:36.119 but the navy gig for about 32.5 years . 10:36.520 --> 10:38.630 And a lot of people ask , when is it 10:38.640 --> 10:41.539 time to hang it up ? And my answer is 10:41.929 --> 10:44.780 when I stopped having fun and 10:45.580 --> 10:47.869 being on a ship with an opportunity to 10:47.880 --> 10:51.869 lead uh men and women at sea is I think 10:51.880 --> 10:53.880 one of the greatest gifts any of us 10:53.880 --> 10:56.280 could hope for . And as long as they 10:56.289 --> 10:58.622 keep giving me opportunities to do that , 10:58.799 --> 11:01.132 I'll stay in as long as they'll have me . 11:01.739 --> 11:04.289 Uh master chief John R . I'm the master 11:04.299 --> 11:07.520 chief for us , Sm BS Land . And my 11:07.530 --> 11:10.989 hometown is to Texas uh with the navy's 11:11.000 --> 11:13.760 recent decision to change to Tom Ray 11:13.770 --> 11:16.039 Base or E four advancement . I think 11:16.049 --> 11:19.250 that it benefits the sailor as they are 11:19.559 --> 11:21.615 coming to the decision points in the 11:21.615 --> 11:23.670 Navy of what they say and get out uh 11:23.670 --> 11:25.837 that everybody is at least need for by 11:25.837 --> 11:27.781 the time they get to that point uh 11:27.781 --> 11:30.179 allows for a higher srv level of awards . 11:30.190 --> 11:32.469 Uh If they do decide to say navy , I 11:32.599 --> 11:34.599 think the most important trait of a 11:34.599 --> 11:37.809 successful sailor is the eagerness and 11:37.820 --> 11:39.653 willingness to learn to become a 11:39.653 --> 11:41.709 subject matter expert . I think that 11:41.709 --> 11:45.099 that is the long run benefits them as 11:45.109 --> 11:47.109 uh as they learn and grow and their 11:47.109 --> 11:49.419 trait and that institutional knowledge 11:49.429 --> 11:51.540 across the navy . And it continues to 11:51.630 --> 11:53.797 help the ship the should be , the more 11:53.797 --> 11:56.719 they know the better off . You are my 11:56.729 --> 11:58.618 favorite hobby when I was in high 11:58.618 --> 12:01.289 school was golf . I played quite a few 12:01.299 --> 12:04.289 sports but , uh , get out , 12:06.859 --> 12:09.137 uh , has taken on it's still a problem . 12:09.890 --> 12:11.349 Uh , have a gun . 12:14.080 --> 12:15.080 Yeah . 12:20.479 --> 12:23.150 Um , os two do not generate a work in 12:23.159 --> 12:25.381 supply . And my name is Brian Andrade . 12:25.429 --> 12:27.890 Espinoza . I work in Admin or exec , I 12:27.979 --> 12:31.940 cast still IR two office just for 12:31.950 --> 12:35.520 06 alpha . I'm L S3 Dorothy Oris Car 12:35.630 --> 12:39.369 and I work in the S six subset shop . 12:39.380 --> 12:41.450 So I am Anderson , Irvin Harris 12:41.460 --> 12:43.460 dispersing and sales and services 12:43.469 --> 12:45.859 officer if I had to be any other rate , 12:45.869 --> 12:49.409 maybe like Ln . Um because that's like 12:49.419 --> 12:51.419 a legal man . It's like the closest 12:51.419 --> 12:53.475 thing to a lawyer . So if I could do 12:53.475 --> 12:55.641 any other job in the navy , uh I guess 12:55.641 --> 12:57.929 my ideal job would be probably 12:57.940 --> 13:00.630 stationed somewhere in Italy working uh 13:00.640 --> 13:02.973 working with the , the troops out there , 13:02.973 --> 13:04.973 maybe with NATO to help make things 13:04.973 --> 13:06.918 happen , you know , protecting our 13:06.918 --> 13:08.862 allies over there in Europe . Hm . 13:08.862 --> 13:11.029 Would have been nice . Would be nice , 13:11.029 --> 13:13.084 you know , different field . Yes , I 13:13.084 --> 13:15.084 know . Uh I'm an engineman . Get my 13:15.084 --> 13:17.307 hands , but uh it would be nice just to 13:17.307 --> 13:19.307 at least see different things , you 13:19.307 --> 13:21.640 know , I would say I taste and I , yeah , 13:21.640 --> 13:23.862 I got , I got a couple buddies and AD P 13:23.862 --> 13:25.918 and they're pretty solid workers and 13:25.918 --> 13:28.084 they , they're pretty fun . So I would 13:28.084 --> 13:30.362 say it if I was to choose another rate , 13:30.362 --> 13:32.584 I'd probably choose to be an MC because 13:32.584 --> 13:34.751 they never have to do the interviews . 13:34.751 --> 13:36.529 They just record them . Oh , my 13:36.529 --> 13:38.640 favorite food on the mess deck , it's 13:38.650 --> 13:41.090 probably gonna be the steak . I'm not a 13:41.099 --> 13:44.130 steak guy , but they make it good here 13:44.469 --> 13:46.679 and not just in the wardroom . My 13:46.690 --> 13:48.690 favorite food . When I , when I , I 13:48.690 --> 13:50.859 think it was the first , it was the 13:50.869 --> 13:53.091 second year I came on board . They used 13:53.091 --> 13:55.258 to have like these , it was like angel 13:55.258 --> 13:57.147 cake texture , but there was like 13:57.147 --> 13:59.258 little squares with powdered sugar on 13:59.258 --> 14:01.650 top . Those were , oh , those were good . 14:01.659 --> 14:03.881 I would , I would get like four or five 14:03.881 --> 14:05.992 of them , put them on a hot plate and 14:05.992 --> 14:07.881 then just take them home and just 14:07.881 --> 14:10.048 devour them . Those were like Godly my 14:10.048 --> 14:11.881 favorite food of the mess or the 14:11.881 --> 14:14.103 cheesecake . I would have to say all of 14:14.103 --> 14:16.103 it because the fact that Ba Bahrain 14:16.103 --> 14:19.090 didn't have any good food just saying I , 14:19.520 --> 14:22.940 I like the chicken pino pino . Um I 14:22.950 --> 14:25.330 don't know how you exactly say it , but 14:25.340 --> 14:27.299 I like that . I really always get 14:27.309 --> 14:29.309 excited . They usually serve it for 14:29.309 --> 14:31.476 breakfast . So I'm always like excited 14:31.476 --> 14:33.642 when they have that . It's delicious . 14:33.642 --> 14:35.865 I like it . All . My favorite memory on 14:35.865 --> 14:37.920 board was the first one called I was 14:37.920 --> 14:40.142 ever a part of , I was the first one in 14:40.142 --> 14:42.420 the first one out in like five seconds . 14:42.420 --> 14:44.476 Yeah . My favorite memory was , uh , 14:44.476 --> 14:46.420 when we were going to these little 14:46.420 --> 14:46.349 underway and we just had to get our 14:46.359 --> 14:48.470 research and , uh , our shop was just 14:48.470 --> 14:50.470 after working hours , we would make 14:50.470 --> 14:52.859 like hot dogs popcorn . Well , you 14:52.869 --> 14:54.980 might think I'm a bad father but I do 14:54.980 --> 14:57.202 like to embarrass my kids when it comes 14:57.202 --> 14:59.480 to their first day of school . And hey , 14:59.480 --> 14:58.380 first day of school was just a couple 14:58.390 --> 15:00.679 days ago . So , yeah , I got my laughs . 15:01.929 --> 15:05.890 My favorite memory on board um was my 15:05.900 --> 15:09.309 birthday last year . Um I had turned 20 15:10.630 --> 15:12.852 it was nice because everyone celebrated 15:12.852 --> 15:14.963 with me . There was even a coworker , 15:14.989 --> 15:18.549 my LP O his wife brought in , he baked 15:18.559 --> 15:20.615 a cake for me and they were all like 15:20.615 --> 15:22.781 singing and stuff . So that was like a 15:22.781 --> 15:24.781 nice like happy memory and I was um 15:24.781 --> 15:26.615 grateful that everyone wanted to 15:26.615 --> 15:28.670 celebrate with me . We did ESL day a 15:28.670 --> 15:30.892 couple months ago and supply absolutely 15:30.892 --> 15:32.989 crushed everybody else except in the 15:33.000 --> 15:35.510 tug of war . But those guys are big 15:35.840 --> 15:37.840 after the Navy . I would wanna be a 15:37.840 --> 15:39.896 real estate agent after I get out of 15:39.896 --> 15:42.118 the Navy . Honestly , I wanna look more 15:42.118 --> 15:45.059 into investing more into uh just trying 15:45.070 --> 15:47.320 to create a better future for my kids . 15:47.330 --> 15:50.760 That's it . I'm not sure what I wanna 15:50.770 --> 15:52.659 do after the Navy . I'm trying to 15:52.659 --> 15:54.940 figure that out . Like I actually came 15:54.950 --> 15:57.539 into the Navy because I didn't know 15:57.549 --> 15:59.771 what I wanted to do . With my life . So 15:59.771 --> 16:01.827 I'm using this as a time period to , 16:01.827 --> 16:03.993 like , figure out what I like and what 16:03.993 --> 16:06.105 I don't like . And , um , I'm working 16:06.105 --> 16:08.489 on starting college . I hope , like , 16:08.500 --> 16:10.611 what I go to college for , you know , 16:10.611 --> 16:12.944 the Navy is paying for it . I hope what , 16:12.944 --> 16:15.111 what I went to school for , I can work 16:15.111 --> 16:17.333 on it in the real world . So , um , I'm 16:17.333 --> 16:19.444 just figuring it out right now . Oh , 16:19.444 --> 16:21.667 after the Navy ? Well , what I wanna do 16:21.667 --> 16:23.611 at the Navy is retire , get a nice 16:23.611 --> 16:26.119 pension check . Get a farm and live 16:26.130 --> 16:29.039 very far away from everybody who y'all .
