WEBVTT 00:02.150 --> 00:04.150 Hey , it's me , Chance Johnson with 00:04.150 --> 00:06.261 1/40 Wing public affairs . And you're 00:06.261 --> 00:08.206 listening to the 1/40 Wing podcast 00:08.206 --> 00:10.039 alongside our new public affairs 00:10.039 --> 00:11.928 officer , tech Sergeant Stephanie 00:11.928 --> 00:13.872 Canada . Today we're speaking with 00:13.872 --> 00:16.039 Brianna Ontiveros . She's the airman . 00:16.039 --> 00:18.150 Did I say your name ? Right . Antas . 00:18.150 --> 00:19.983 Ok . She's the airman and family 00:19.983 --> 00:22.150 readiness program manager . Thanks for 00:22.150 --> 00:21.530 joining us . Thanks for having me . 00:21.879 --> 00:24.101 Yeah . So let's talk a little bit first 00:24.101 --> 00:26.323 about what's your background ? Where do 00:26.323 --> 00:28.657 you come from ? You were prior military , 00:28.657 --> 00:30.879 right ? I was a prior military 23 years 00:30.879 --> 00:32.935 for the air . Um I started an active 00:32.935 --> 00:35.157 duty , did 10 years with them . Uh Last 00:35.319 --> 00:37.830 round was with a WX . That's the reason 00:37.840 --> 00:40.007 why I left active duty . Um And then I 00:40.009 --> 00:42.159 joined the Reserve about a year and a 00:42.169 --> 00:44.459 half into the reserve . I became an A 00:44.470 --> 00:46.470 gr in recruiting and that's where I 00:46.470 --> 00:49.445 spent my life 10 or 11 years . So 23 00:49.456 --> 00:52.015 years total , all with the air and 00:52.026 --> 00:54.082 obviously that kind of informed your 00:54.082 --> 00:56.082 decision to assume this role here . 00:56.082 --> 00:58.304 Well , first of all , can you tell me a 00:58.304 --> 00:58.276 little bit about airmen and family 00:58.285 --> 01:00.452 readiness ? What's the purpose that it 01:00.452 --> 01:02.785 serves ? So we are basically all things , 01:02.785 --> 01:04.896 families and service members . I have 01:04.896 --> 01:06.952 resources . I , I call myself Google 01:06.952 --> 01:09.118 for military resources . Um And I help 01:09.125 --> 01:11.125 take care of the families while the 01:11.125 --> 01:13.014 airmen are deployed and I get the 01:13.014 --> 01:14.792 airman ready to deploy and then 01:14.792 --> 01:16.792 everything in between . Do you have 01:16.792 --> 01:18.903 folks working with you or are they uh 01:18.903 --> 01:21.125 kind of like on a case by case basis or 01:21.125 --> 01:23.882 what's your role ? Uh My role is it , I 01:23.891 --> 01:26.012 am the only person running the airman 01:26.022 --> 01:28.189 and family readiness . I do have a , a 01:28.189 --> 01:30.355 readiness assistant right now . Um But 01:30.355 --> 01:32.633 that's not full time . So it's just me . 01:32.633 --> 01:34.633 I'm a one woman . Show , give us an 01:34.633 --> 01:36.800 overview of the resources that you can 01:36.800 --> 01:38.855 provide to airman . Honestly , I can 01:38.855 --> 01:41.019 provide anything from animal care to 01:41.029 --> 01:43.510 hospice and everything in between . Um 01:43.519 --> 01:46.540 If there is a need , I , I can find it 01:46.550 --> 01:49.360 uh between uh the air and the army 01:49.370 --> 01:51.592 guards , uh Children and family writing 01:51.592 --> 01:53.690 specialists . We have hundreds and 01:53.699 --> 01:55.866 hundreds of sources locally and across 01:55.866 --> 01:58.745 the nation . I basically uh get a phone 01:58.754 --> 02:01.334 call . Airman says , hey , I need 02:01.345 --> 02:03.404 financial assistance . Um We'll sit 02:03.415 --> 02:05.637 down , we'll talk about it . We'll kind 02:05.637 --> 02:07.693 of peel back the layers of the onion 02:07.693 --> 02:09.804 because there's never just one reason 02:09.804 --> 02:11.804 why you need financial assistance , 02:11.804 --> 02:11.735 there's other things that go with it . 02:11.945 --> 02:14.001 Um And then I just start finding the 02:14.001 --> 02:16.112 resources . So maybe they need a loan 02:16.112 --> 02:18.167 from the Kong Foundation . Um I'll , 02:18.167 --> 02:20.334 I'll explain that process . Maybe they 02:20.334 --> 02:20.294 just need some grocery cards . I've got 02:20.304 --> 02:22.415 some of those and I can provide those 02:22.415 --> 02:24.637 to the airmen and their families . Um , 02:24.637 --> 02:26.915 I think I worked with you at one point . 02:26.915 --> 02:28.971 We were trying to find resources for 02:28.971 --> 02:31.137 your parents . Um , so I can do that . 02:31.137 --> 02:32.860 Uh , and we work with not just 02:32.860 --> 02:34.971 currently serving , but we also serve 02:34.971 --> 02:37.026 veterans as well . Um , yeah . And I 02:37.026 --> 02:39.137 mean , we've got people who have gone 02:39.137 --> 02:38.800 on deployment . They're like , I don't 02:38.809 --> 02:41.089 have anybody to watch my dog . I found 02:41.100 --> 02:43.044 them in the for long term care for 02:43.044 --> 02:44.989 their animals . We're keeping them 02:44.989 --> 02:47.156 ready for deployment . They're , we're 02:47.156 --> 02:49.489 keeping them ready to serve the mission . 02:49.489 --> 02:51.711 So , um , yeah , we're not , we're very 02:51.711 --> 02:53.767 fluid . I mean , like I said , we do 02:53.767 --> 02:55.933 everything from animal care to , we've 02:55.933 --> 02:58.044 helped with uh finding hospice care , 02:58.044 --> 03:00.267 uh for service members , parents . So , 03:00.267 --> 03:02.044 um , yeah , our pri our primary 03:02.044 --> 03:04.156 resources that we focus on these days 03:04.156 --> 03:06.211 has been financial , um , you know , 03:06.211 --> 03:08.433 the economy's been uh a little tough so 03:08.433 --> 03:10.489 people have been struggling a little 03:10.489 --> 03:12.711 bit . So , um , we've got resources and 03:12.711 --> 03:14.878 we have a personal financial counselor 03:14.878 --> 03:16.989 that we refer to all the time and the 03:16.989 --> 03:19.100 three of them are great . Um , as far 03:19.100 --> 03:19.070 as like helping set up budget or um , 03:19.080 --> 03:22.639 maybe uh advising like for investments 03:22.649 --> 03:24.760 and whatnot would you say around this 03:24.760 --> 03:26.593 time of year ? You find yourself 03:26.593 --> 03:28.482 especially busy with it being the 03:28.482 --> 03:30.816 holidays . Yeah , we uh but fortunately , 03:30.816 --> 03:33.038 we have some fabulous programs that are 03:33.038 --> 03:34.927 run by the Kong Foundation in the 03:34.927 --> 03:37.093 Colorado National Guard . Um , we have 03:37.093 --> 03:39.500 adopt a family , um , and we had , I 03:39.509 --> 03:42.449 believe , 35 families get adopted this 03:42.460 --> 03:45.270 year . Um And we just have donors that 03:45.539 --> 03:47.880 they get the g the shopping list and 03:47.889 --> 03:50.460 then they go and shop and deliver , we 03:50.470 --> 03:52.803 deliver the toys to the service members . 03:52.803 --> 03:54.803 Uh We also have the meal assistance 03:54.803 --> 03:57.539 program where we can do uh uh grocery 03:57.550 --> 03:59.630 cards uh for holiday meals . We did 03:59.639 --> 04:01.806 Thanksgiving and now we're doing the , 04:01.806 --> 04:03.861 the Christmas Hanukkah . Um And then 04:03.861 --> 04:05.917 there's always the Kong foundation . 04:05.917 --> 04:08.028 We've , we've always got uh financial 04:08.028 --> 04:09.861 resources available for folks if 04:09.861 --> 04:11.972 they're in need of , you know , maybe 04:11.972 --> 04:11.940 they need help with their electric bill 04:11.949 --> 04:14.060 or their rent . Is it , is it you all 04:14.060 --> 04:16.171 who are responsible ? I say you all , 04:16.171 --> 04:18.393 like you said , you're running the show 04:18.393 --> 04:20.282 for . I is his name , Brian , you 04:20.282 --> 04:22.505 provide that resource , Brian Cameron . 04:22.505 --> 04:24.727 Yeah . M Yeah , absolutely . And what , 04:24.727 --> 04:26.949 what does he do ? So he is our military 04:26.949 --> 04:28.782 family life counselor . So he is 04:28.782 --> 04:30.782 basically a , he is a social worker 04:30.782 --> 04:33.005 counselor , but he's off the books . So 04:33.005 --> 04:35.540 it's non medical . Um If he feels that 04:35.549 --> 04:37.771 during the course of a , a conversation 04:37.771 --> 04:39.938 that , you know , behavioral health is 04:39.938 --> 04:41.882 needed , then he'll refer . Um But 04:41.882 --> 04:43.882 there's , he doesn't write anything 04:43.882 --> 04:46.160 down . Um He doesn't report to anybody . 04:46.160 --> 04:48.271 Uh He doesn't give any information to 04:48.271 --> 04:50.049 commanders . Um It's completely 04:50.049 --> 04:51.993 confidential . Even I , if I refer 04:51.993 --> 04:53.938 somebody to him , I don't even get 04:53.938 --> 04:56.160 information back on whether or not they 04:56.160 --> 04:58.327 were assisted . And I mean , he , even 04:58.327 --> 05:00.493 beyond that , he's set up , he's , you 05:00.493 --> 05:02.493 know , gone above and beyond and on 05:02.493 --> 05:04.493 certain days of the week he'll have 05:04.493 --> 05:06.540 like , mindfulness does a half hour 05:06.549 --> 05:08.929 mindfulness in person here at the FSS . 05:09.130 --> 05:11.940 Um , from , I believe , 130 to 2 on 05:11.950 --> 05:14.119 Wednesdays . Um , I think the holidays 05:14.130 --> 05:16.359 have been a little bit hectic with 05:16.369 --> 05:18.536 schedules . So we haven't been able to 05:18.536 --> 05:20.536 do that , but he does come into the 05:20.536 --> 05:22.536 building every Wednesday , um where 05:22.536 --> 05:26.450 he'll do his uh uh one hour uh virtual 05:26.459 --> 05:28.626 podcast , so to speak , and then he'll 05:28.626 --> 05:30.348 also take clients face to face 05:30.348 --> 05:32.403 interviews . And so people are aware 05:32.403 --> 05:34.237 that's in building 801 where the 05:34.237 --> 05:36.292 chaplain's office is in case they're 05:36.292 --> 05:38.515 looking for him , maybe just to kind of 05:38.515 --> 05:40.681 like even humanize this a little bit . 05:40.681 --> 05:42.903 Like I can give an example of like what 05:42.903 --> 05:45.015 I sought out help for my dad . He's a 05:45.015 --> 05:47.181 prior enlisted guy , uh served from 66 05:47.181 --> 05:49.619 to 70 . And about a year ago , he was 05:49.630 --> 05:51.910 diagnosed with dementia . And so I was 05:51.920 --> 05:54.142 always kind of brainstorming since that 05:54.142 --> 05:56.364 diagnosis of , you know , what are some 05:56.364 --> 05:58.531 resources I could get for him , what's 05:58.531 --> 06:00.642 available to him ? Like , what , what 06:00.642 --> 06:02.864 is he entitled to ? And it just kind of 06:02.864 --> 06:04.642 had , I had a bell ring one day 06:04.642 --> 06:06.753 remembering , you know , when you met 06:06.753 --> 06:06.720 with us that first time at drill 06:06.730 --> 06:08.897 weekend and you said , you know , even 06:08.897 --> 06:10.897 help can extend to family members , 06:10.897 --> 06:13.063 parents , that sort of thing . So went 06:13.063 --> 06:15.286 down the hall and just asked you like , 06:15.286 --> 06:17.174 hey , you know , this is my dad's 06:17.174 --> 06:19.397 situation military during Vietnam era . 06:19.397 --> 06:21.563 This is what he's diagnosed with . You 06:21.563 --> 06:23.674 know , what are , can you point me in 06:23.674 --> 06:23.480 the direction of some resources that , 06:23.489 --> 06:26.200 that can be helpful for him and you put 06:26.209 --> 06:29.739 me in touch with or who is she ? She's 06:29.750 --> 06:31.917 our transition assistance advisor . So 06:31.917 --> 06:34.850 she's actually works for Congress . Um 06:34.859 --> 06:37.859 There's two of them in the state and um 06:37.869 --> 06:39.869 that's , that's all she does is she 06:39.869 --> 06:41.980 just helps veterans currently serving 06:41.980 --> 06:44.250 and past served to get all of the 06:44.260 --> 06:46.149 benefits that they're entitled to 06:46.149 --> 06:48.038 regardless of situation . She was 06:48.038 --> 06:50.260 amazing , you know , helping me kind of 06:50.260 --> 06:52.371 like making me aware of things that I 06:52.371 --> 06:54.593 would have never had thought that would 06:54.593 --> 06:56.593 have been possible for uh potential 06:56.593 --> 06:58.980 resources or entitlements or benefits 06:58.989 --> 07:02.230 for my dad and just her putting me in 07:02.239 --> 07:04.461 touch with the right people with the va 07:04.589 --> 07:06.700 us kind of being under the impression 07:06.700 --> 07:08.756 of like , yeah , he's , I think he's 07:08.756 --> 07:10.922 got , you know , this very small , you 07:10.922 --> 07:13.089 know , 10% disability for like hearing 07:13.089 --> 07:15.649 loss and then realizing he's got , you 07:15.660 --> 07:18.440 know , a huge list of potential things 07:18.450 --> 07:20.339 that he might be entitled to . So 07:20.339 --> 07:22.510 without , without you and , you know , 07:22.519 --> 07:24.519 without you reaching out to her and 07:24.519 --> 07:26.630 putting me in touch with her , like , 07:26.630 --> 07:28.630 we would never have known to even , 07:28.630 --> 07:30.630 like , track down those resources . 07:30.630 --> 07:32.797 Yeah , she's been great with providing 07:32.797 --> 07:35.019 me with resources , even with , uh past 07:35.019 --> 07:37.130 conflicts . So the , the Blue Water , 07:37.130 --> 07:39.463 um , the navy situation in Vietnam , um , 07:39.463 --> 07:41.630 has now been extended inland . Uh , so 07:41.630 --> 07:43.741 it's not just those that were serving 07:43.741 --> 07:46.075 on ships , it's now serving inland . Um , 07:46.075 --> 07:48.130 so she keeps me up to date on all of 07:48.130 --> 07:50.352 that information . She sends that stuff 07:50.352 --> 07:52.463 to me all the time . So , um , yeah , 07:52.463 --> 07:54.630 the new PAC Act , um that's going on . 07:54.630 --> 07:56.741 Uh , she's been keeping me up to date 07:56.741 --> 07:59.075 to those things as well . Yeah , so you , 07:59.075 --> 08:01.186 you have a good , um , a good network 08:01.186 --> 08:01.079 for sure . What's , what would you say 08:01.089 --> 08:03.019 is , is another good way to , for 08:03.029 --> 08:05.140 people to reach you via email or your 08:05.140 --> 08:07.140 phone , email and texting me . Um I 08:07.140 --> 08:09.196 always have my cell phone with me so 08:09.196 --> 08:11.307 they can call me , they can text me . 08:11.307 --> 08:13.418 Um I also get emails on my phone . So 08:13.418 --> 08:15.473 if they just want to email me , I'll 08:15.473 --> 08:17.696 respond . I am 24 7 . Um So that , that 08:17.696 --> 08:19.751 phone is never far from my reach . I 08:19.751 --> 08:21.973 just want to clarify your program . Are 08:21.973 --> 08:24.085 you familiar with the J nine ? Yeah , 08:24.085 --> 08:26.085 so your programs are , I think um , 08:26.085 --> 08:28.459 they're independent right though . We 08:28.480 --> 08:30.480 fall under the umbrella . Yeah , we 08:30.480 --> 08:32.702 fall under the umbrella of the J nine . 08:32.702 --> 08:34.813 I report directly to the State Family 08:34.813 --> 08:37.036 program . Director Suzanne Boy . Yeah . 08:37.036 --> 08:36.820 And I do work hand in hand with , with 08:36.830 --> 08:39.330 all of the J nine resources to set up 08:39.340 --> 08:41.739 uh briefings uh like say he spouse 08:41.750 --> 08:43.694 volunteers that need to have their 08:43.694 --> 08:45.917 annual training with suicide prevention 08:45.917 --> 08:48.139 or sexual assault . Um I work with them 08:48.139 --> 08:49.694 on that . Uh We also have a 08:49.694 --> 08:51.417 representative from the J nine 08:51.417 --> 08:53.472 specifically for the Wing and that's 08:53.472 --> 08:55.361 Henry Hernandez and I believe his 08:55.361 --> 08:57.528 specialty is family and child abuse uh 08:57.528 --> 08:59.750 prevention . Um Yeah , but I fall under 08:59.750 --> 09:01.694 that umbrella . I was curious , it 09:01.694 --> 09:04.210 sounds like you offer a lot of 09:04.219 --> 09:06.330 different resources . I was wondering 09:06.330 --> 09:08.330 if there are any areas specifically 09:08.330 --> 09:10.386 that you can identify that are under 09:10.386 --> 09:12.608 utilized that you wish people were more 09:12.608 --> 09:14.775 aware of that's available . Oh , wow . 09:14.775 --> 09:16.989 Um Honestly , our uh I would say our 09:17.000 --> 09:20.179 mental health resources uh we have um 09:20.190 --> 09:22.994 some really good ones that either are 09:23.005 --> 09:25.164 free or reduced fee for , for our 09:25.174 --> 09:28.705 members . Um uh the given 09:28.715 --> 09:31.224 hour uh offers a one hour , a week of 09:31.234 --> 09:34.554 session uh for 52 weeks . So per 09:34.565 --> 09:36.794 incident , per per issue . Um And 09:36.804 --> 09:38.804 that's open to the family members , 09:38.804 --> 09:41.184 dependents anybody who's , whether 09:41.195 --> 09:43.084 they're currently serving or past 09:43.084 --> 09:45.195 serving as well . Um So I think our , 09:45.195 --> 09:48.659 our M flac um in our outside resources 09:48.669 --> 09:50.780 for behavioral health , I think those 09:50.780 --> 09:52.780 are the ones that are underutilized 09:52.780 --> 09:52.530 just because I think there's still a 09:52.539 --> 09:55.320 stigma uh with the mental health issue 09:55.450 --> 09:58.289 and with this Wings mission um with 09:58.299 --> 10:00.355 space and with fighters , I think uh 10:00.355 --> 10:02.466 we're so afraid that we're gonna lose 10:02.466 --> 10:04.729 our security clearance . Um But it's , 10:04.739 --> 10:06.739 we need to emphasize that I think a 10:06.739 --> 10:08.961 little bit more uh that we would rather 10:08.961 --> 10:12.669 you get care and get treated than 10:12.679 --> 10:15.150 end up a statistic . Absolutely . And 10:15.400 --> 10:17.511 especially , I feel like in the state 10:17.511 --> 10:19.567 of the world as it is now . I mean , 10:19.567 --> 10:21.789 I've even experienced roadblocks trying 10:21.789 --> 10:23.900 to get mental health treatment for my 10:23.900 --> 10:26.067 Children . It seems like that a lot of 10:26.067 --> 10:28.289 places are at capacity or not taking on 10:28.289 --> 10:30.289 new patients . So come and see me , 10:30.289 --> 10:32.511 I'll get you , I'll get you the list of 10:32.511 --> 10:34.622 resources so that you can reach out . 10:34.622 --> 10:36.789 Um And then I was also curious , given 10:36.789 --> 10:38.844 the holiday season , I think it'd be 10:38.844 --> 10:41.067 nice to have some warm and fuzzies . Do 10:41.067 --> 10:40.539 you have any success stories that you'd 10:40.549 --> 10:44.280 like to share ? Um I mean , I do , I 10:44.289 --> 10:47.669 have a , a few airmen here in the um in 10:47.679 --> 10:51.250 the wing that I highly encouraged 10:51.429 --> 10:53.890 to sign up for adoptive family and a 10:53.900 --> 10:56.067 couple of folks have said , you know , 10:56.067 --> 10:58.233 it's more like pride like I don't want 10:58.233 --> 11:00.344 to ask for handouts . Somebody's more 11:00.344 --> 11:00.169 needing , that's exactly what our 11:00.179 --> 11:03.000 program is for . Um for those that are 11:03.010 --> 11:05.760 in need , maybe just need a boost . Um 11:05.969 --> 11:08.191 Some with special needs kits and it's a 11:08.191 --> 11:10.413 little bit more difficult for , for mom 11:10.413 --> 11:12.580 and dad to go and you know , get , get 11:12.580 --> 11:14.802 the presents . Um Someone with a lot of 11:14.802 --> 11:16.940 Children um that can kind of stretch 11:16.950 --> 11:18.950 your budget kind of thing . So , um 11:18.950 --> 11:21.669 yeah , we've had a few um that have 11:21.679 --> 11:23.901 said , you know , grumbled and been the 11:23.901 --> 11:25.957 grinch and said no , I don't want to 11:25.957 --> 11:27.901 and we convince them whether us or 11:27.901 --> 11:29.957 leadership . And um yeah , the , the 11:29.957 --> 11:32.219 look on their face is great when they 11:32.229 --> 11:35.440 see just the quantity that our donors 11:35.450 --> 11:37.900 are just so supportive uh and provide 11:37.909 --> 11:41.130 for them . I kind of wonder like how I 11:41.140 --> 11:44.030 know that while we know that these 11:44.039 --> 11:47.260 programs are important and we're air 11:47.270 --> 11:49.326 force wide , military wide , they're 11:49.326 --> 11:51.548 doing everything to stand them up . But 11:51.548 --> 11:53.770 there's still that stigma and I don't , 11:53.770 --> 11:55.992 I'm like , is it just time that's going 11:55.992 --> 11:58.159 to wash that away ? I think so . And I 11:58.159 --> 12:00.159 really wish that the especially the 12:00.159 --> 12:02.270 mental health portion . I really wish 12:02.270 --> 12:04.492 that , that stigma would start to , you 12:04.492 --> 12:06.492 know , get demystified a little bit 12:06.492 --> 12:08.714 more , a little bit quicker . And I , I 12:08.714 --> 12:08.539 really like the resiliency part that 12:08.549 --> 12:10.605 we've been trying to integrate a lot 12:10.605 --> 12:12.771 and it's , I get the eye rolls when we 12:12.771 --> 12:14.938 start talking about resiliency because 12:14.938 --> 12:14.929 the commanders is like , it's all about 12:14.940 --> 12:17.530 your feelings and it's not , it's about , 12:18.450 --> 12:20.506 you know , having some tools in your 12:20.506 --> 12:22.394 toolbox to be , to , to cope with 12:22.394 --> 12:24.950 everyday issues and to bounce back to 12:24.960 --> 12:27.127 be resilient . Um We teach that to the 12:27.130 --> 12:28.963 families while the , the service 12:28.963 --> 12:31.186 members are deployed . We have a lot of 12:31.186 --> 12:33.297 resiliency for the kids too . We have 12:33.297 --> 12:35.519 resiliency for the kiddos . So , um , I 12:35.519 --> 12:37.630 really wish that I could , uh , teach 12:37.630 --> 12:39.908 that more . That would be great . Yeah , 12:39.908 --> 12:41.963 I think even for me personally too , 12:41.963 --> 12:44.019 it's like , even when I get , like , 12:44.019 --> 12:46.186 thank you for your service , I kind of 12:46.186 --> 12:48.408 feel like , well , I'm not deployed and 12:48.408 --> 12:50.630 I'm not even in a deployable A FSC . So 12:50.630 --> 12:52.908 I , I feel like those resources . Yeah . 12:52.908 --> 12:52.479 But it's like there's the one we're 12:52.489 --> 12:54.545 talking about stigma , that's my own 12:54.545 --> 12:56.545 personal barrier . I feel like it's 12:56.545 --> 12:58.767 like , well , there's somebody else out 12:58.767 --> 13:00.933 there who needs it more than I do . So 13:00.933 --> 13:03.100 I don't want to get in the way of them 13:03.100 --> 13:05.100 being able to access it as if these 13:05.100 --> 13:07.156 resources are limited . But it seems 13:07.156 --> 13:09.489 like it's more of a , it's for everyone , 13:09.489 --> 13:11.211 regardless of your situation , 13:11.211 --> 13:13.433 regardless of your station , regardless 13:13.433 --> 13:15.489 of your rank . Um Yeah . And , and I 13:15.489 --> 13:17.378 think the reason why our programs 13:17.378 --> 13:19.267 aren't utilized enough is because 13:19.267 --> 13:21.045 people have your opinion . Oh , 13:21.045 --> 13:23.267 somebody else needs it more than I do . 13:23.267 --> 13:25.267 And that's just not the case . Um I 13:25.267 --> 13:27.489 talk to folks all the time about crisis 13:27.489 --> 13:26.784 management . Well , it's a crisis to , 13:26.794 --> 13:28.961 you may not be a crisis to me , but if 13:28.961 --> 13:31.127 it's a crisis to you now it's a crisis 13:31.127 --> 13:33.238 to me . So you just need to keep that 13:33.238 --> 13:35.461 in mind when you're talking with , with 13:35.461 --> 13:37.350 uh e especially if you got junior 13:37.350 --> 13:39.516 enlisted under , you point them in the 13:39.516 --> 13:41.516 right direction as well . You don't 13:41.516 --> 13:43.516 know what you don't know . So we'll 13:43.516 --> 13:45.738 just keep disseminating the information 13:45.738 --> 13:47.738 as much as we can get them in touch 13:47.738 --> 13:47.065 with somebody who does know . Yeah . 13:47.075 --> 13:49.315 Absolutely . And honestly , I am the 13:49.325 --> 13:51.625 point of contact for everything in this 13:51.635 --> 13:54.099 wing . So , you know , if you don't 13:54.109 --> 13:56.530 know where to go , come and see me , um , 13:56.539 --> 13:58.761 we always have a resource in the wing , 13:58.761 --> 14:00.761 especially with our J nine . Now we 14:00.761 --> 14:02.872 have a jag that's full time with us . 14:02.872 --> 14:04.928 It's awesome . He has helped so many 14:04.928 --> 14:06.872 folks with their stuff .
