1 00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,210 Hello there . There's edibles . So 2 00:00:02,210 --> 00:00:04,266 quick question . Have you ever heard 3 00:00:04,266 --> 00:00:05,900 the sound before 4 00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:11,430 or 5 00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:12,950 this sound 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,440 right ? And if you stay late enough 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,360 around 9:00 you'll hear this . 8 00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:28,650 And I'm a new civilian and I found 9 00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:31,920 out about 75% of the entire basis . 10 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,390 Direct workforce is civilians . So 11 00:00:34,390 --> 00:00:36,860 that's why I went out to see what these 12 00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:39,290 traditions actually are , why they're 13 00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:41,512 so important and what we should do when 14 00:00:41,512 --> 00:00:43,910 we hear them , we just assume that new 15 00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:46,077 hires know the military come systems , 16 00:00:46,077 --> 00:00:48,132 they know the ranks or they know why 17 00:00:48,132 --> 00:00:50,354 the music is playing . But that's a big 18 00:00:50,354 --> 00:00:53,110 assumption that we need to break that 19 00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:55,330 barrier and that not assume that 20 00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:58,970 everybody knows for a while there . It 21 00:00:58,970 --> 00:01:01,280 was fairly annoying , right ? I felt I 22 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,502 was like , what are we stopping for all 23 00:01:03,502 --> 00:01:06,390 the time ? But I've chosen just take it 24 00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:08,168 in and every time I hear it , I 25 00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:12,150 remember what it is that uh , it stands 26 00:01:12,150 --> 00:01:14,261 for . So I always get kind of annoyed 27 00:01:14,261 --> 00:01:16,483 when people just are in a rush and then 28 00:01:16,483 --> 00:01:18,817 speed on by because we're all in a rush . 29 00:01:18,817 --> 00:01:20,983 But I think it's important to remember 30 00:01:20,983 --> 00:01:23,240 why we stopped for that 120 seconds in 31 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,129 the morning 100 90 seconds in the 32 00:01:25,129 --> 00:01:27,129 evening . So it's just something to 33 00:01:27,129 --> 00:01:29,184 think about for the civilians like , 34 00:01:29,184 --> 00:01:31,296 hey , you know , stop , take a moment 35 00:01:31,296 --> 00:01:33,462 reflect why we do what we do so to tie 36 00:01:33,462 --> 00:01:35,573 in , why we render those courtesies ? 37 00:01:35,573 --> 00:01:37,796 You're actually running insurgencies to 38 00:01:37,796 --> 00:01:39,040 the flag 39 00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:47,851 one protocol that mandates that , you 40 00:01:47,851 --> 00:01:50,018 know , when we're driving in a vehicle 41 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,160 and we hear the revolution , we stop 42 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,049 our cars and wait for everyone to 43 00:01:54,049 --> 00:01:56,540 complete . But it's also respect and 44 00:01:56,540 --> 00:01:58,730 honor for the flag and what it what it 45 00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:00,897 symbolizes that sacrifice , especially 46 00:02:00,897 --> 00:02:02,952 for the military . We know of people 47 00:02:02,952 --> 00:02:05,063 who have died either in combat out of 48 00:02:05,063 --> 00:02:07,286 combat . So you're also paying respects 49 00:02:07,286 --> 00:02:09,440 for those um those sacrifices that 50 00:02:09,450 --> 00:02:10,450 people honor 51 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,460 the history of taps . 52 00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:23,020 It was used to 53 00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:25,550 signify lights out like , you know , 54 00:02:25,550 --> 00:02:28,160 hey lights out .

I just tell 59 00:02:37,230 --> 00:02:39,452 civilians don't feel out of sorts , ask 60 00:02:39,452 --> 00:02:41,690 questions and then you'll know um oh 61 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:43,867 wow .

Think about 65 00:02:50,462 --> 00:02:50,220 what those traditions mean . Think 66 00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:52,276 about what those sacrifices mean and 67 00:02:52,276 --> 00:02:54,442 why we're doing what we're doing , why 68 00:02:54,442 --> 00:02:56,442 we're here on this base while we're 69 00:02:56,442 --> 00:02:58,609 running tests to support the Downrange 70 00:02:58,609 --> 00:03:00,442 mission and now understand we're 71 00:03:00,442 --> 00:03:02,553 working shoulder to shoulder with the 72 00:03:02,553 --> 00:03:04,720 men and women in uniform .
