 I just snatched it off the table in there. Typical. Yeah, perfect. Yeah, perfect. Thanks. Oh, no, that's my helmet bag. That's fine. That's all good. That's all good. Yeah, thanks. Mom just left. Yeah, you want to do an interview thing? Yeah. Cool. How do I look? Is this my best side? Yeah, it went in the hat. And yell into the mic. It's great to be home. Chris, good to see you. How are you doing? Awesome. How are you doing? How's the crazy job? It's crazy. Different? So did you catch what the call sign for your guys was? Top book. Yeah, that one. So they're like, top book, party. And the funniest thing, we're in the brief. And the guys are going, so is that call sign Felix or is that Okay. Go back and sit up. Howdy. Good to see you, man. Thanks. How's it going? Thank you very much. Hey, she got your jacket. Dude. You're huge. You got it. Yeah. You're a lot bigger than you said there were. Huh? Thanks, sweet. Mike, check. Are you getting good audio? How are you doing? I'm doing excellent. You guys left many, many months ago with one idea in mind of what was to come of your lives. And then the world changed. You had to pivot and respond to that with the belt. Talk about that. Well, you know, we got trained for an entire spread of missions. And as we left, we thought we were going to Afghanistan to do that mission. And we did for a couple months. And then within 30 hours, we swung around, went to the Gulf. And within 30 hours, we were launching an aircraft into Iraq, doing armed overwatch, non-traditional intelligence surveillance reconnaissance, and defense of the personnel on the ground, as well as humanitarian assistance support. So, a different mindset, a shift, but exactly what we were trained for. And thanks to the sailors, we got it done. The sailors were amazing, and they made it work for us. What does that flexibility say to you about these men and women that hold up their right hand on here? You know, the flexibility inherent in the Navy is everything. And that's, you know, where we're needed, when we're needed. And that shows the amazing flexibility. And the sailors and the families and the friends that support them, that's the true magic of the Navy. Can you give us a sense of when you left and you turned over to Vincent, and you left them a good answer, of course? Did you make a difference over there? Did anybody quantify that you did some good? I do think we made a difference as you looked at the folks on Sinjar Mountain who were safe because of us. The Mosul Dam that was back in the rightful hands of Iraq, working with the Peshmerga forces, and the Iraqi security forces. And in some of the work we did in Syria and other places, I think we definitely made a difference. And it was a seamless transition which speaks to the standardization between aircraft carriers and carrier airwings. The carrier wing 17, take it over for carrier wing 8. The chair for us in the cockpit sounded a lot different because you're concentrating on the rules of engagement and your procedures. The only big difference was we didn't have ground-joint tactical air controller, so it was done from the air which speaks to the technology and capability in the United States and our coalition allies in the region to get things done. And it also speaks to the teamwork of the USS George H.W. Bush, Kerry Stryker II, destroyer squadron 22 and the USS Philippine Sea that made that maritime security operations happen while we were doing the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Home and time magically for the holidays. Magically for the holidays! We're just excited to be home in the Hampton Roads area and all the communities that support us and happen to be home with our families and friends. While you were gone, Admiral Freeman and a couple of others were talking about the length of deployments that the Navy goes on. Nine and a half months he says we really want those to come down. How difficult are those longer deployments in terms of either maintenance or just keeping your edge? Sure, it's a little more difficult to stay a little longer but that's what the Navy does. We're there as long as we're needed for what we're needed for when we get down and look at exactly what the right amount of time at sea is but the support of the family and friends and the local communities is really what made it work for us. That's it! Awesome! Thanks guys! Appreciate it! Thanks very much! Yeah. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! My hair's really healthy It's all the ready, man! I think I've got some work to do. I'm going anywhere. I need to roll it out or scratch it. All the gear I had to scratch it. I need to do a little bit of life. Maybe if we go into the weekly parts we'll be back in all first. Some parts that we don't have. Thanks guys!
