1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm outstanding. How are you, guys? Thank you? I appreciate 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: that about the day, yeah, Um, you know, it's always 3 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: special to get to share a message with the team. UM. 4 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: Always very privileged whenever I get a really speak in 5 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: front of a steam group of men like that. Um. 6 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: You know, I think one message I tried to convey 7 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: is that it's been a tough year for a lot 8 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: of military members, a lot of veterans. It's been tough 9 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: year for everybody. But overall, um, you know, now's the 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: time to that we need to rally around, um, those 11 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: that have done so much for us and done some 12 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: extremely difficult things. Um. You know, especially when our company 13 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: in our country seems so divided. Um. You know that's 14 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: one group of people, um, that we should be uniting behind. 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: Can We haven't talked to you in a while. Is 16 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: your rank still lieutenant in the Naval Resources? Accurate? Yeah, 17 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: that's accurate. I'm still lieutenant. How do you How do you? 18 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: I know? I feel like like a big life question here, um, 19 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: but how do you unite? You know, like when you 20 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: think about it, you know, I mean your football team. 21 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: It's about probably a good example, right yeah. Um. Unity 22 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: is central to everything we do in the military, and 23 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: its central to everything we do. UM. On a football team, UM, 24 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, common struggle, UM, you know, a mutual opponent 25 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: or enemy you know, and and a common mission or 26 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: absolutely integral to UM, you know, really coming together to 27 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: accomplish those goals and UM ultimately have victory on a 28 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: on a friendly field of strife or or one that 29 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: is UM you know otherwise UM. But realistically, I think 30 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: we all have to take an audit of the way 31 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: in which we go about, you know, our own daily 32 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: lives and the way we treat people UM you know, 33 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's if we can if we can 34 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: look at ourselves and say, all right, what would those 35 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 1: men and women that we entrust our national security too? UM, 36 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: how would they go about this issue? How would they 37 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: treat their fellow service member? How would they treat their 38 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: fellow American? UM? You know, how would we treat our 39 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: teammates if there's an issue that came about. That's something 40 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: that you know, we can all learn from. UM. If 41 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: we take that into our day to day lives. What 42 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: was it? Not only right now because it's another service 43 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: number that yeah, now having Malcolm UM in the building 44 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: and UH, you know around is great. He's done a 45 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: really good job and and just being there to do 46 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: everything he can. Um, and you know, he's it's special 47 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: to me because I was a junior ensign when I 48 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: was a rookie here, um, going down to the prep 49 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: school and working, and he was a student at the 50 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: prep school. UM. You know, obviously a really special football player, 51 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: but a really good person. Um. His his service situation 52 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: looks a little bit different than mine. But ultimately, you know, 53 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: one day he's gonna be a great marine and uh 54 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: that's um, you know evident in the way he works 55 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: when he's here with the Patriots and also a special bulate. 56 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: Happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps. Rah. What 57 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: was the reaction of the feedback from your teammates when 58 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: you addrest them this morning. I think the reaction and 59 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: feedback is always positive. Um. You know, we always we 60 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: have a a really you know, diverse, um accomplished group 61 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: of men in this locker room. UM. It's it's really 62 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: a special thing that you know, It's hardly ever do 63 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: we even get to you know, sit in the same 64 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: room anymore, or sit or be in a in a 65 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: big group of people that are always that are all 66 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: together to accomplish a goal. UM. You know, sitting side 67 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: by side, shoulder to shoulder, UM, listening to a message, 68 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: whether it's about specific game planning or whether it's something 69 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: that is about a greater meaning like Veterans Day. UM. 70 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: I think looking at my teammates, I can see the sincerity, 71 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: I can see the care for are the people in 72 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: their lives that are veterans. And you know, I hope 73 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: that everybody out there takes some time to reflect, UM, 74 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: takes some time to you know, really talk to their 75 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: family members, talk to their friends that served UM.

It's it's it's just a good excuse to 79 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: say hello, check in, check in and see how somebody's doing. 80 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: And tough times football question keeps kicking and kicking, Well, 81 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on just sort of the operation 82 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: you get going?
