 I'm often asked how do you do 33 years? How do you survive it? You know, it's like working for any other corporation in the initial mindset You're going to do something for 33 years. Why not do something you love where you love and I have loved Every day that I've served and committed to the United States Navy now. There is a lot of days I didn't like yeah along the way But I've loved every moment and every opportunity and every chance that I've had and that's part of it You know to to do this along the way, you can't be sedentary. You can't be locked in one mindset We are an evolving world which makes us an evolving society which makes us an evolving military And so you have to be an evolving sailor an evolving airman You have to evolve with the culture that you're in But more importantly you have to be a part of that evolving You have to help it evolve. You have to help it move forward You know if we stayed the same and we didn't change things along the way You know, we'd be You know still flogging sailors. We'd be you know, uh still in wooden ships We'd have no ipad No internets You know, we wouldn't have these things if we didn't have innovation and change And that's I think what what I would pass on and what I'm thankful for for my 33 years is Not only having an opportunity to see Change but also be a part of that change and input to it and seeing how it changes So how do you do it? You have to take chances You have to be willing to Put your foot across that line so that the line keeps pushing outward You have to know how to move forward You can't do it yourself and you Can't watch just somebody else do it. You have to be a part of it and sometimes you have to lead in So you have to take chances. You have to go where you normally wouldn't You know, if you never liked playing chess or you never had an interest in playing chess Go join the chess club Because it's not about chess It's about trying that something new in a Safety of your fellow, you know shipmates if you will and then learning about those people who are playing chess and why And maybe you don't like the board game, but you like the people you're around You would have never met them If you didn't go to the chess club So take chances go someplace where you normally wouldn't And you have to help others along the way If I don't make it, you don't make it, but more importantly if you don't make it, I don't make it My final shout out on my final show And my final afn morning thursday here in napal's italy is to those 25 That you talked about in the beginning of the show My final shout out to those who are eligible to join the military and do so Fare winds and following seas and thank you shipmate
