00:17.690 --> 00:20.489
So my last deployment was uh located at

00:20.500 --> 00:23.950
Led Airbase in Qatar . I was an all

00:23.959 --> 00:27.420
source analyst um with coalition

00:27.430 --> 00:29.920
forces while he was deployed . It

00:30.100 --> 00:32.267
sometimes felt like a long time but it

00:32.267 --> 00:34.319
went really quickly . Um I was busy

00:34.330 --> 00:36.990
with work volunteer work and I had a

00:37.000 --> 00:39.278
good support network while he was gone .

00:39.278 --> 00:41.830
Uh when he came back , uh I was very

00:41.840 --> 00:43.979
happy to have him home . Uh but even

00:43.990 --> 00:46.046
from my end , it was a little bit of

00:46.046 --> 00:47.990
adjustment to have him back in the

00:47.990 --> 00:50.439
house . Yeah . And for my return , um

00:50.450 --> 00:52.672
it was , there was an adjustment period

00:52.672 --> 00:54.728
um coming off a pretty high tempo um

00:54.728 --> 00:56.740
situation . Um There was some

00:56.750 --> 00:59.700
decompression time that was needed . I

00:59.709 --> 01:01.765
heard about the Yellow Rubin program

01:01.765 --> 01:03.931
through uh senior master sergeant . Uh

01:03.931 --> 01:06.339
Tim Stout of the 6 55th ISR Wing , the

01:06.349 --> 01:08.709
available resources that it provides .

01:08.720 --> 01:11.379
Um There's , there seem to be a lot of

01:11.389 --> 01:13.709
classes and courses that both her and I

01:13.720 --> 01:15.919
could attend together , um whether it

01:15.930 --> 01:19.839
be sleep relationship , fitness ,

01:19.849 --> 01:22.389
um even some things like resume writing

01:22.400 --> 01:24.511
that could benefit us both , but also

01:24.511 --> 01:26.400
allowed us to spend time together

01:26.400 --> 01:28.622
before the Yellow ribbon event , we had

01:28.622 --> 01:30.844
been given an agenda and materials . So

01:30.844 --> 01:33.379
we had an idea of what to expect , but

01:33.389 --> 01:36.050
we really enjoyed the actual experience .

01:36.059 --> 01:38.003
I think one thing either before or

01:38.003 --> 01:41.139
after deployment is there are so many

01:41.150 --> 01:43.317
things that need to be taken care of .

01:43.317 --> 01:45.428
It can feel very overwhelming . So to

01:45.428 --> 01:47.949
have all of those resources offered in

01:47.959 --> 01:51.000
one place with professionals um makes

01:51.010 --> 01:53.470
it so much easier to take care of all

01:53.480 --> 01:55.800
of those things . Club's gonna convince

01:55.809 --> 01:57.865
my coworkers to attend the event . I

01:57.865 --> 02:00.760
would say it's highly beneficial time

02:00.769 --> 02:03.029
with your family . Um Also , it would

02:03.040 --> 02:05.309
be it's a great opportunity to gather

02:05.319 --> 02:07.486
some resources and information to help

02:07.486 --> 02:09.708
you with that transition period back to

02:09.708 --> 02:10.589
your normal everyday lives .
