00:00.920 --> 00:03.031
I remember the exact moment believing

00:03.031 --> 00:05.250
on that sounds corny , but I was a

00:06.370 --> 00:08.990
sophomore or junior at The Citadel in

00:09.070 --> 00:11.292
Charleston , South Carolina , and I saw

00:11.292 --> 00:13.292
one of my best buddies in the world

00:13.292 --> 00:15.459
walking across the parade field at the

00:15.459 --> 00:17.514
Citadel in his battle dress uniforms

00:17.620 --> 00:20.100
with a rucksack on and a weapon in his

00:20.100 --> 00:22.690
hand . And I just I was impressed by

00:22.690 --> 00:24.801
the side of it . I kind of gravitated

00:24.801 --> 00:27.820
to that . I like the idea of service to

00:27.820 --> 00:30.420
something higher than yourself . So I

00:30.580 --> 00:32.191
went into Army ROTC . It was

00:32.191 --> 00:34.413
commissioner . Here we are . I'm pretty

00:34.413 --> 00:36.413
lucky . I was able to come into the

00:36.413 --> 00:38.358
company level and at the battalion

00:38.358 --> 00:40.524
level and then here in the 06 levels .

00:40.524 --> 00:42.691
This is my third command , and they've

00:42.691 --> 00:44.691
all been a little bit different , I

00:44.691 --> 00:46.691
think next to be an apparent , it's

00:46.691 --> 00:46.110
probably been the most rewarding

00:46.110 --> 00:48.221
experience in my life . Current model

00:48.221 --> 00:50.332
here in this garrison is we deliver .

00:50.332 --> 00:52.554
The supply system is working , stuff is

00:52.554 --> 00:54.499
coming in . So I think if I had an

00:54.499 --> 00:56.610
ethos , that would be a blend between

00:56.610 --> 00:58.777
getting things done , because then the

00:58.777 --> 01:00.999
day Army is about results . But none of

01:00.999 --> 01:03.221
that happens about people , so you have

01:03.221 --> 01:05.388
to find a way . Is a leader to balance

01:05.388 --> 01:07.388
the departments of the mission with

01:07.388 --> 01:09.443
performance in these people . If you

01:09.443 --> 01:11.666
take care of them , they will take care

01:11.666 --> 01:13.832
of . You know , I try to adapt to what

01:13.832 --> 01:16.054
I see in the environment . And I mean ,

01:16.054 --> 01:18.221
social media is how we communicate way

01:18.221 --> 01:20.388
want to get information to people . So

01:20.388 --> 01:22.610
you've got a present information in the

01:22.610 --> 01:22.280
way that they're gonna grab it . So

01:22.280 --> 01:24.502
we're hitting the radio . We're hitting

01:24.502 --> 01:26.724
Facebook Were on the Web sites were all

01:26.724 --> 01:28.669
over the place . So we are . We're

01:28.669 --> 01:30.891
worldwide . People will tend to kind of

01:30.891 --> 01:33.058
watch things that a little bit corny .

01:33.058 --> 01:35.224
Little bit cookie versus boring guy in

01:35.224 --> 01:37.391
the suit . Oh , I forgot . I have this

01:37.391 --> 01:39.502
mustache on . I'm auditioning to play

01:39.700 --> 01:43.260
Captain Hook in Peter Pan . So I was I

01:43.270 --> 01:45.326
definitely will miss him . I'll miss

01:45.340 --> 01:47.507
miss moments like this . I mean , this

01:47.507 --> 01:49.673
beautiful area surrounded by all these

01:49.673 --> 01:49.780
wonderful people
