00:00.110 --> 00:02.166
I think there's a lot to be said for

00:02.166 --> 00:04.380
service to your country and service to

00:04.380 --> 00:06.547
your community and and service to your

00:06.547 --> 00:08.658
fellow citizens and I've spent really

00:08.658 --> 00:11.450
my entire adult life doing just that .

00:13.480 --> 00:15.591
When he first came to class , he told

00:15.591 --> 00:17.536
me that it's one of his hobbies to

00:17.536 --> 00:19.647
volunteer , other students came up to

00:19.647 --> 00:21.647
me and informed me that he had been

00:21.647 --> 00:23.869
serving his time at the defect over 100

00:23.869 --> 00:26.240
and 50 hours over the span of Airman

00:26.240 --> 00:28.296
Leadership School . He has put forth

00:28.296 --> 00:31.110
serving N . C . O . A . Last helping

00:31.110 --> 00:33.221
with the manpower there . This is all

00:33.221 --> 00:35.610
on his own time . I try to stay busy

00:35.610 --> 00:38.050
when I'm back home . I'm kind of one of

00:38.050 --> 00:39.772
these guys that I have to have

00:39.772 --> 00:42.000
something to do and not only that he is

00:42.010 --> 00:44.066
a professor , a college professor on

00:44.066 --> 00:46.232
the outside of the air force as well .

00:46.232 --> 00:48.550
So on his breaks lunch , any possible

00:48.550 --> 00:50.550
chance that he got , he was logging

00:50.550 --> 00:52.661
into his coursework , making sure his

00:52.661 --> 00:54.717
students were prepared , making sure

00:54.717 --> 00:56.883
students were all set . Actually , I'm

00:56.883 --> 00:58.994
a instructor of criminal justice down

00:58.994 --> 00:58.750
at northwestern Oklahoma State

00:58.750 --> 01:00.861
University . I've been doing that for

01:00.861 --> 01:03.030
about the past 15 years . You know ,

01:03.030 --> 01:05.197
I'm used to getting up really early in

01:05.197 --> 01:07.419
the morning and just kind of going full

01:07.419 --> 01:09.641
steam until I'm ready to hit the pillow

01:09.641 --> 01:11.863
at night . So he literally lives by the

01:11.863 --> 01:14.030
example of teacher by day , student by

01:14.030 --> 01:16.252
night or vice versa . He's just totally

01:16.252 --> 01:18.419
and utterly involved with his students

01:18.419 --> 01:20.586
and his coursework here at L . S . And

01:20.586 --> 01:22.808
again , bringing that excellence in all

01:22.808 --> 01:24.974
we do factor and I wouldn't be where I

01:24.974 --> 01:27.840
am today . I wouldn't be doing a lot of

01:27.840 --> 01:30.530
the things that I'm doing . I wouldn't

01:30.530 --> 01:34.080
have the education that I if it wasn't

01:34.090 --> 01:36.500
for my service in the garden .
