 Master Chief Giordano is joining me today as his introductory show. We've got a couple few more weeks before I walk out the door and and GEO as we call him will be taken over and hired by Amal Ferguson to take this role as the Fleet Master Chief for C&E-C&A. And so welcome Steve, welcome aboard. What do you think so far? Oh it's wonderful. Everybody's been so accommodating here in wonderful Naples. Family settled in nicely and we're looking forward to a wonderful tour here serving at C&E-C&A and our counterparts at Comp Six Fleet and Fleet Orloff. Thank you for being so accommodating to both me and my family. Our first couple weeks here have been quite exciting. Whether you're a first class at 20 years or a Master Chief at 33, it's about honoring that 20 years that got you to where you are and and thanking folks for being there along the way and you know a sense of closure from your retirement you know phase your active duty phase going into retirement and a sense of closure for those who are letting go of you you know to start your second part of your life or third part in some cases. So it's important that you have some kind of a ceremony that says thank you and I appreciate what you've done and for people to shake your hand and say thank you. Whether it's with a shadow box or a plaque or an award doesn't matter. So now I know you've recently come from you know the East Coast and there are Norfolk and there's been a flood of retirement ceremonies. So what have you seen there Geo? Well I am also a strong advocate of retirement ceremonies. Some of the same things that you just mentioned are reason why I also agree we need to do those things and and what I think is one of the one of those things we don't think about is the family members that are in attendance sometimes don't understand how we do what we do every day and why we do what we do every day waking up every morning with a smile on our face because we get to wear the cloth of our nation every day and what a great opportunity to just explain that to them. Yep absolutely. Don't wait for things to happen to you make them happen for you.
