 Afternoon CMP. How are you? Great. I'm doing great. Good to see you again. And welcome MC2 brothers in here and the chief naval personnel's office to talk about DOD force of the future. Now, sir, that phrase has been thrown around a lot lately. And sailors are probably asking the question What does that mean for them, for their careers and for their families? That's a really great question And I'm happy to talk about it. This If sailors would just recall all the things we've been talking about you know over the last year About how to attract and retain our great sailors. All you got to do is think about future Force of the future Effort in DOD as a much larger version of that across all the services So it's part of a bigger effort. It sure is. Yeah, right now Many of the ideas are similar to cip expanded maternity leave improved career management and Tools that that help govern Promotions, is that correct? It sure is that you got exactly right. So There are a whole lot of other ideas that are out there underneath the force of the future But we're in draft version 2.0 and we're studying that the navy's been participating in the working groups all along So I feel very comfortable with where we're headed But we also have a lot of other things going on inside of navy that are complementary to this effort And I would argue that the navy's leading in a lot of the The kind of initiatives we're seeing coming out of the future force of the future When you think about career and admission program and career flexibility in maternity leave Our secretary is the only service secretary to triple maternity leave across dod As an example, but we're also looking at expanded cdc hours across the fleet And we're doing a lot in terms of how we would train sailors differently in the future That's kind of an inside navy thing, but it's complementary to the effort It's going on across dod also think about the pfa program and our in our attempts to set in motion This notion that we we ought to be a better A healthier force and really have a culture of fitness across the navy So all of those things have been developed With great feedback from sailors in the fleet And we're trying to we're trying to scrub the good ideas and and pick up on where it really makes a difference All right, great. So sir, um, where does the force force of the future report go from here? Yeah, we'll we're going to probably go through another couple drafts here We we get a draft we study it We provide our feedback and it goes back into the wash cycle if you will So we're expecting a final draft to probably be released sometime in the fall And as those drafts come out We'll continue to connect with the sailors or our sailors and let them know what it means and what's going on But right now I think I really like Where we're headed the intent of this effort is consistent with what we're doing and have been doing in the navy for the last year So I see good outcomes for our sailors in the future Awesome. Well, thank you cmp for answering these questions and being with us today. Great. Thanks. Thank you. Have a great day Thank you guys for watching
