WEBVTT

00:08.319 --> 00:10.041
So the joint NCO induction was

00:10.041 --> 00:12.152
something that I thought about , uh ,

00:12.152 --> 00:14.319
just based upon normal army traditions

00:14.319 --> 00:16.486
we have the NCO induction that we that

00:16.486 --> 00:18.708
we conduct uh we pull that ceremony not

00:18.708 --> 00:20.763
just from customs and traditions but

00:20.763 --> 00:22.819
from our our NCO guide our TC . Uh ,

00:22.819 --> 00:24.819
and because we're in a , in a joint

00:24.819 --> 00:26.708
environment working with the Guam

00:26.708 --> 00:28.986
National Guard , Marines , Army , Navy ,

00:28.986 --> 00:30.875
we have , we have every branch of

00:30.875 --> 00:32.819
service here , including the Space

00:32.819 --> 00:34.875
Force , uh , so to , to do something

00:34.875 --> 00:36.819
like that and , and recognize that

00:36.819 --> 00:36.529
non-commissioned officers , which is

00:36.529 --> 00:39.250
the strength of our military , uh , we

00:39.250 --> 00:42.130
work together so to induct NCOs in in

00:42.130 --> 00:44.241
one ceremony in a joint environment ,

00:44.430 --> 00:48.319
uh , to me meant a lot . So this was a

00:48.319 --> 00:50.375
5 day event started with a branch of

00:50.375 --> 00:52.950
service leading PT and then from there

00:53.319 --> 00:56.000
we went into a class and each class was

00:56.000 --> 00:58.779
pulled again from Army Doctrine , Army

00:58.779 --> 01:00.890
resources . We utilize the Center for

01:00.890 --> 01:03.639
Army Lessons Learned . We also utilize

01:03.639 --> 01:05.695
some leadership resources within the

01:05.695 --> 01:09.129
FMs and regulations . Uh , no other

01:09.129 --> 01:11.089
military in the world has a

01:11.089 --> 01:13.256
non-commissioned officer corps like we

01:13.256 --> 01:14.867
do . And so to recognize the

01:14.867 --> 01:16.978
non-commissioned officers and again ,

01:16.978 --> 01:18.978
especially in a joint environment ,

01:18.978 --> 01:21.256
Guam Guam is a unique mission set . Uh ,

01:21.256 --> 01:23.367
not only are we in the Pacific , uh ,

01:23.367 --> 01:25.478
deterring our adversaries , but we're

01:25.478 --> 01:27.422
also simultaneously protecting the

01:27.422 --> 01:29.367
homeland . And when you talk about

01:29.367 --> 01:31.367
non-commissioned officers being the

01:31.367 --> 01:33.422
backbone , we , we support literally

01:33.422 --> 01:35.645
every structure of . Homeland defense .

01:35.645 --> 01:37.533
So to bring all of us together to

01:37.533 --> 01:39.855
recognize being honored with entering

01:39.855 --> 01:42.022
the non-commissioned officer support ,

01:42.022 --> 01:44.022
that's a huge step forward again in

01:44.022 --> 01:45.911
building joint and future partner

01:45.911 --> 01:47.799
relationships across Guam and the

01:47.799 --> 01:48.724
United States military .
