WEBVTT 00:12.829 --> 00:15.310 This course , better highlights the 00:15.319 --> 00:18.340 different programs , resources and 00:18.350 --> 00:20.870 avenues . First sergeants uh can take 00:20.879 --> 00:23.101 advantage of to take care of the airmen 00:23.101 --> 00:24.657 within their organization . 00:29.000 --> 00:31.111 For me , it really helped out a lot , 00:31.139 --> 00:33.250 speaking to the other first sergeants 00:33.250 --> 00:35.361 and how their councils worked . I was 00:35.361 --> 00:37.472 able to bring some of that back to my 00:37.472 --> 00:39.528 unit , incorporate some of that into 00:39.528 --> 00:38.450 our council . 00:43.290 --> 00:45.369 It's a safe space and we're here to 00:45.380 --> 00:47.547 learn from each other when and if your 00:47.547 --> 00:49.659 phone rings at old 30 you know , this 00:49.889 --> 00:52.056 just had ad uy , you're not a status , 00:52.056 --> 00:54.222 they're not in the status , what would 00:54.222 --> 00:56.278 you do ? And so I really appreciated 00:56.278 --> 00:58.000 every time we got into an open 00:58.000 --> 01:00.056 discussion , the perspectives coming 01:00.056 --> 01:02.167 from all the participants were unique 01:02.167 --> 01:04.333 as a , you know , you should be moving 01:04.333 --> 01:06.056 around every couple of years , 01:06.056 --> 01:05.669 establish yourself within an 01:05.680 --> 01:07.736 organization , set your priorities , 01:07.736 --> 01:10.150 goals . It , it really brought home to 01:10.160 --> 01:13.260 me that all of us are contributing a 01:13.269 --> 01:15.580 unique part to the mission . 01:20.389 --> 01:22.660 Our Air National Guard is that first 01:22.669 --> 01:24.725 sergeants need to be better prepared 01:24.725 --> 01:27.459 and better equipped to deal with issues 01:27.470 --> 01:30.059 specifically that happen in the A NG 01:30.069 --> 01:32.291 component . And we're always constantly 01:32.291 --> 01:35.379 searching other units to have one . So 01:35.389 --> 01:37.720 I would appreciate any symposium stuff 01:37.730 --> 01:39.952 you guys have that should share with me 01:39.952 --> 01:42.119 because it's a struggle in real life . 01:42.119 --> 01:44.459 We're in the uniform , we're messy . 01:44.470 --> 01:46.414 People have problems , people have 01:46.414 --> 01:48.581 baggage , people struggle . And what I 01:48.581 --> 01:51.400 took away from the way he interacted 01:51.410 --> 01:53.769 with us was even in the middle of him 01:54.440 --> 01:56.496 dealing with some heartache and some 01:56.496 --> 01:58.300 problems at home . He was very 01:58.309 --> 02:00.531 important to us and was there giving us 02:00.569 --> 02:02.736 things are gonna help us be better , a 02:02.736 --> 02:05.739 capable competent leader that signed up 02:05.750 --> 02:07.861 to do the job that's gotten the right 02:07.861 --> 02:09.917 amount of training and has the right 02:09.917 --> 02:12.083 amount of experience to take care of . 02:12.083 --> 02:12.080 And that's what's needed in today's Air 02:12.089 --> 02:12.850 National Guard .
