WEBVTT 00:06.909 --> 00:08.909 I think when soldiers have a better 00:08.909 --> 00:11.329 strong foundation with their families , 00:11.340 --> 00:13.229 they can be better observer coach 00:13.229 --> 00:15.451 trainers , which is our primary mission 00:15.451 --> 00:17.709 of the 338 . I think this train is so 00:17.719 --> 00:20.770 important for soldiers because 00:21.329 --> 00:24.260 the everything is a relationship about 00:24.270 --> 00:27.840 relationships . So soldier has a heavy 00:27.850 --> 00:31.040 carry , heavy stress , but it stresses 00:31.049 --> 00:34.290 comes from their marriage and also 00:34.299 --> 00:37.099 family relationship . So we need to 00:37.110 --> 00:40.299 help them to release , identify their 00:40.310 --> 00:43.209 problems , the root problems and help 00:43.220 --> 00:45.770 them to navigate , find out some 00:45.779 --> 00:47.723 solution to fix that problem . I'm 00:47.723 --> 00:49.779 fairly excited that the Army Reserve 00:49.779 --> 00:52.001 gives us this opportunity to have the , 00:52.001 --> 00:54.112 the , you know , the chaplain and the 00:54.112 --> 00:53.592 service members and the family members 00:53.603 --> 00:55.770 come out and sit down together and not 00:55.770 --> 00:57.936 just do army things but also do family 00:57.936 --> 00:59.881 things . And you know , we've been 00:59.881 --> 01:02.103 married just under two years , we'll be 01:02.103 --> 01:04.325 two years in February . So it's nice to 01:04.325 --> 01:06.436 have this resource and , and , and to 01:06.466 --> 01:08.077 build that foundation of our 01:08.077 --> 01:10.244 relationship stronger as we go forward 01:10.244 --> 01:12.299 in life . It was important for me to 01:12.299 --> 01:14.522 participate in today's training to help 01:14.522 --> 01:16.744 show that I support him and that I care 01:16.744 --> 01:18.855 about what's going on every day , but 01:18.855 --> 01:21.077 also to support his unit because I know 01:21.077 --> 01:23.244 being in the army is a life commitment 01:23.244 --> 01:25.410 and it is a lifestyle and I want to be 01:25.410 --> 01:27.606 able to support him in that . I'm very 01:27.615 --> 01:29.671 much looking forward to this because 01:29.671 --> 01:31.726 this will be the first type of event 01:31.726 --> 01:33.837 that either one of us have done since 01:33.837 --> 01:33.655 we've only been married for two months . 01:33.666 --> 01:36.160 So I'm very excited sometimes , 01:36.169 --> 01:38.391 especially with both of us being in the 01:38.391 --> 01:40.391 military , we tend to think that we 01:40.391 --> 01:42.613 know what is going on because the other 01:42.613 --> 01:44.870 one has experienced it . But that takes 01:44.879 --> 01:48.620 away from being a spouse rather than 01:48.629 --> 01:50.685 just being a fellow soldier . So I'm 01:50.685 --> 01:52.851 looking forward to being able to learn 01:52.851 --> 01:55.185 a little more about just being a spouse . 01:55.185 --> 01:57.620 Today's training , taught me about how 01:57.629 --> 01:59.940 um what love language I like and I like 01:59.949 --> 02:02.379 to receive versus what he likes . And 02:02.389 --> 02:05.699 then also , um how I inadvertently try 02:05.709 --> 02:08.580 to force my love language upon him and 02:08.589 --> 02:10.589 how to try to change and stop doing 02:10.600 --> 02:12.767 that and give him what he needs . It's 02:12.767 --> 02:15.479 a nice afternoon to get together . 02:15.779 --> 02:17.779 Speak about some fundamental things 02:17.779 --> 02:20.001 that not only work at the home but also 02:20.001 --> 02:22.057 frankly in the organization . Yeah , 02:22.057 --> 02:24.057 the love languages and knowing your 02:24.057 --> 02:26.223 audience and being able to communicate 02:26.223 --> 02:28.440 all of those things . Um not only a 02:28.449 --> 02:30.393 happy home , makes a happy , happy 02:30.393 --> 02:32.005 workplace , but also to your 02:32.005 --> 02:34.060 communication skills at home at work 02:34.060 --> 02:36.171 are very related . So you know , this 02:36.171 --> 02:38.350 is , this is a fundamental exercise 02:38.360 --> 02:40.582 that will benefit both the organization 02:40.582 --> 02:40.639 and home life .
