WEBVTT 00:04.289 --> 00:07.489 It is better sweet . I knew about 90 00:07.500 --> 00:09.611 days ago that this was gonna happen . 00:09.859 --> 00:13.500 Uh But it came really fast . The 00:13.510 --> 00:16.100 ceremony was great . The marines did a 00:16.110 --> 00:18.332 great job . They were out here all last 00:18.332 --> 00:20.388 week doing rehearsals to prepare for 00:20.388 --> 00:22.610 this . So without them , this would not 00:22.610 --> 00:23.832 have happened today , 00:26.870 --> 00:29.450 we have 560 plus marines and all of 00:29.459 --> 00:33.240 them do different things that work 00:33.250 --> 00:35.250 independently from each other . But 00:35.250 --> 00:37.306 collectively , they work together to 00:37.306 --> 00:39.306 support this air station to protect 00:39.306 --> 00:38.580 this air station . So the tenant 00:38.590 --> 00:41.720 commands can do their jobs . It's been 00:41.729 --> 00:43.951 a privilege and an honor to serve these 00:43.951 --> 00:46.118 marine for the last 20 months . I hate 00:46.118 --> 00:48.340 to go but I know they're going to be in 00:48.340 --> 00:50.562 good hands with some major Novak taking 00:50.562 --> 00:48.779 over . 01:04.730 --> 01:06.897 I look forward to working with these , 01:06.897 --> 01:09.119 the , these marines and sailors because 01:09.119 --> 01:11.230 uh I can just see the professionalism 01:11.230 --> 01:13.008 already walking around . Uh the 01:13.008 --> 01:14.952 different sections and uh uh their 01:14.952 --> 01:17.230 sections are organized and , and , and , 01:17.230 --> 01:19.341 and what you , what you look for in a 01:19.341 --> 01:19.269 unit for sure 01:26.910 --> 01:28.910 having the conversation with the uh 01:28.910 --> 01:30.966 previous Mars Arm Rose . Uh I , I do 01:30.966 --> 01:32.854 believe that the , the marines do 01:32.854 --> 01:34.910 genuinely want to do the right thing 01:34.910 --> 01:36.966 and they will do the right thing and 01:36.966 --> 01:36.739 it's gonna be a great place to work for 01:36.750 --> 01:37.750 sure . 01:42.639 --> 01:45.410 I'm just happy to be back . Uh , it's 01:45.419 --> 01:47.586 been a couple of years since I've been 01:47.586 --> 01:49.641 here and , and , and what not , it's 01:49.641 --> 01:48.910 almost like I never changed . Uh , 01:48.919 --> 01:51.030 every time you get , you get to a new 01:51.030 --> 01:53.030 place , you always have that , uh , 01:53.030 --> 01:55.252 little reunion from all the people that 01:55.252 --> 01:54.449 you , you , you , you , you , you've 01:54.459 --> 01:56.570 seen before over the years and , uh , 01:56.690 --> 01:58.857 and it was the same here when I got on 01:58.857 --> 01:58.250 deck .
