00:01.690 --> 00:04.023
Marines and sailors of America's finest ,

00:04.090 --> 00:06.730
thank you for what you do . Now that S4

00:06.730 --> 00:08.841
has been crowned Bush One Turkey Bowl

00:08.841 --> 00:10.841
champions , it's time that we start

00:10.841 --> 00:12.841
preparing for Christmas and the New

00:12.841 --> 00:15.063
Year . Celebrating the holidays creates

00:15.063 --> 00:17.286
a perfect opportunity to relax from our

00:17.286 --> 00:19.341
constant everyday work and reconnect

00:19.341 --> 00:21.341
with family and friends both on the

00:21.341 --> 00:23.119
island and back in the states .

00:23.119 --> 00:25.230
Remember , every day we represent the

00:25.230 --> 00:27.341
family that we were born into and the

00:27.341 --> 00:29.452
ones that we've chosen . As Marines ,

00:29.452 --> 00:31.508
we are responsible for ourselves and

00:31.508 --> 00:33.619
those around us , accountable for our

00:33.619 --> 00:35.841
actions and the actions of those who we

00:35.841 --> 00:37.619
are with . And prepared for any

00:37.619 --> 00:39.674
situation with a deliberate planning

00:39.674 --> 00:41.619
process . If you're staying on the

00:41.619 --> 00:43.674
island , have your vehicle inspected

00:43.674 --> 00:45.619
and paperwork verified . If you're

00:45.619 --> 00:47.730
traveling off the island , check your

00:47.730 --> 00:47.459
baggage for contraband like spent

00:47.459 --> 00:49.810
ammunition casings and check your

00:49.810 --> 00:52.032
itinerary before heading to the airport

00:52.032 --> 00:54.143
to ensure that you arrive on time and

00:54.143 --> 00:56.310
at the correct terminal before . If

00:56.310 --> 00:58.199
you're staying on island , do not

00:58.199 --> 01:00.310
forget to have a vehicle safety kit .

01:00.310 --> 01:02.477
Having a carjacked to change a tire or

01:02.477 --> 01:04.699
a first aid kit to respond to an injury

01:04.699 --> 01:06.866
is something no one wants to be caught

01:06.866 --> 01:08.977
without when they need it . If you're

01:08.977 --> 01:08.309
traveling off island , driving

01:08.309 --> 01:10.531
conditions in the local community might

01:10.531 --> 01:12.531
be different than in Okinawa . It's

01:12.531 --> 01:14.753
always a good idea to remain polite and

01:14.753 --> 01:16.698
professional when interacting with

01:16.698 --> 01:18.976
others . With the turn of the new year ,

01:18.976 --> 01:21.031
remember to set goals for yourself .

01:21.031 --> 01:23.142
Set personal and professional , short

01:23.142 --> 01:25.365
and long-term goals that are specific ,

01:25.365 --> 01:27.476
measurable , achievable , realistic ,

01:27.476 --> 01:29.531
and time bound . Example , I want to

01:29.531 --> 01:32.069
run a 285 PFT before April 30th , or I

01:32.069 --> 01:34.180
want . Complete my PME before the end

01:34.180 --> 01:36.402
of 2nd quarter . And whether your goals

01:36.402 --> 01:38.402
are to become more physically fit ,

01:38.402 --> 01:40.625
earn a college degree , or build better

01:40.625 --> 01:42.569
habits like less screen time , you

01:42.569 --> 01:44.847
cannot accomplish every goal overnight .

01:44.847 --> 01:46.847
Establishing milestones within your

01:46.847 --> 01:49.069
goals allows you to celebrate victories

01:49.069 --> 01:51.069
along the journey . Have a safe and

01:51.069 --> 01:52.847
enjoyable holiday season , stay

01:52.847 --> 01:55.209
disciplined and set the example even at

01:55.209 --> 01:56.987
family gatherings . Mushh one ,

01:57.300 --> 01:58.129
America's finest .
