00:00.569 --> 00:02.579
Today , we hosted an event for our

00:02.589 --> 00:05.000
spouses called in their Boots Day . We

00:05.010 --> 00:07.010
were lucky enough to head up to the

00:07.010 --> 00:09.121
range and shoot our weapon experience

00:09.121 --> 00:12.239
ac FT modified as well as an obstacle

00:12.250 --> 00:14.472
course . We're on the island of Okinawa

00:14.472 --> 00:16.700
today on Camp Schwab , I am a spouse of

00:16.709 --> 00:18.709
the unit . It was a great time . It

00:18.709 --> 00:21.079
definitely was eye opening of kind of

00:21.090 --> 00:22.959
how much this stuff weighs that

00:22.969 --> 00:24.802
everybody's hiking with and just

00:24.802 --> 00:26.969
connect with all the different spouses

00:26.969 --> 00:29.136
in the unit as well . But it was a lot

00:29.136 --> 00:31.302
of fun . It's important for me that my

00:31.302 --> 00:30.965
spouse got this opportunity due to the

00:30.975 --> 00:32.975
fact that sometimes I understand it

00:32.975 --> 00:35.142
could be hard for military members and

00:35.142 --> 00:37.142
for spouses to understand what each

00:37.142 --> 00:39.142
other goes through . So for them to

00:39.142 --> 00:41.308
kind of see a part of our lives , it's

00:41.308 --> 00:43.308
just an awesome opportunity for one

00:43.308 --> 00:45.364
side to understand the other mission

00:45.364 --> 00:47.308
readiness with the service members

00:47.308 --> 00:49.308
expands beyond their workspace . It

00:49.308 --> 00:51.475
flows over into the house and into the

00:51.475 --> 00:53.364
home . It needs everything for my

00:53.364 --> 00:55.586
spouse to support me . This is a career

00:55.586 --> 00:57.697
that I have and it's just I would not

00:57.697 --> 00:59.919
be anywhere without my spouse extremely

00:59.919 --> 00:59.474
grateful that I have her in my life .
