00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,970
e 

3
00:00:04,980 --> 00:00:06,924
was excited to get the vaccination 

4
00:00:06,924 --> 00:00:09,036
today . I was very excited when I got 

5
00:00:09,036 --> 00:00:11,202
the call , because I wanna get this so 

6
00:00:11,202 --> 00:00:13,313
that we as a community , can get back 

7
00:00:13,313 --> 00:00:16,670
to our new normal e have a lot of 

8
00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:18,670
friends who are retired and they're 

9
00:00:18,670 --> 00:00:20,837
older . And my biggest fear throughout 

10
00:00:20,837 --> 00:00:23,003
this pandemic has been that I might be 

11
00:00:23,003 --> 00:00:25,114
the guy who was young and healthy and 

12
00:00:25,114 --> 00:00:27,281
not showing symptoms , but who brought 

13
00:00:27,281 --> 00:00:29,337
the cove it to someone who might get 

14
00:00:29,337 --> 00:00:31,337
sick . So this is my opportunity to 

15
00:00:31,337 --> 00:00:33,392
ensure that I'm not gonna bring them 

16
00:00:33,392 --> 00:00:36,080
the illness and that we're protecting 

17
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,524
everyone in the community 

18
00:00:37,524 --> 00:00:45,650
with 

19
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,096
So this will allow us to get back to 

20
00:00:48,096 --> 00:00:50,262
that new normal . We're never gonna go 

21
00:00:50,262 --> 00:00:52,484
back the way things were , but we could 

22
00:00:52,484 --> 00:00:54,651
get to the new normal , the life where 

23
00:00:54,651 --> 00:00:56,429
we can all get out . We can all 

24
00:00:56,429 --> 00:00:58,540
experience the community , experience 

25
00:00:58,540 --> 00:01:00,373
Germany on experience , our life 

26
00:01:00,373 --> 00:01:02,540
together . So this is how that's gonna 

27
00:01:02,540 --> 00:01:03,873
help everyone move on . 

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,310
Marines , sailors , civilian teammates . 

29
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:21,542
This morning , Sergeant Major McDonnell 

30
00:01:21,542 --> 00:01:23,764
and I received the cove in 19 vaccine . 

31
00:01:24,340 --> 00:01:26,710
Now , as your commander , I strive to 

32
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:28,932
achieve the risk of mission and risk to 

33
00:01:28,932 --> 00:01:31,560
force calculus when assessing a pacing 

34
00:01:31,570 --> 00:01:34,580
or episodic threat . Now this novel 

35
00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:37,200
coronavirus presents a risk to our 

36
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,040
mission and a risk to our force . And 

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,180
we must adapt to maintain readiness 

38
00:01:42,220 --> 00:01:45,520
despite this ongoing pandemic , because 

39
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,830
our nation expects Marines to be ready 

40
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,380
at a moments notice to deploy for any 

41
00:01:50,380 --> 00:01:52,650
contingency , we need to be protected 

42
00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:55,230
from the threat of Kobe 19 , so we can 

43
00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:57,380
carry out our mission when our nation 

44
00:01:57,380 --> 00:02:00,380
calls just like interlocking fields of 

45
00:02:00,380 --> 00:02:02,800
fire . It works best when the guns are 

46
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,911
mutually supporting each other in the 

47
00:02:04,911 --> 00:02:07,022
fight . That's why I decided to do my 

48
00:02:07,022 --> 00:02:08,856
part and receive the vaccination 

49
00:02:08,856 --> 00:02:10,967
against the pandemic that has already 

50
00:02:10,967 --> 00:02:12,856
taken more than two million lives 

51
00:02:12,856 --> 00:02:14,856
worldwide in a single year . Do not 

52
00:02:14,856 --> 00:02:17,022
become complacent . In addition to the 

53
00:02:17,022 --> 00:02:18,967
vaccination . Continue to socially 

54
00:02:18,967 --> 00:02:21,050
distance where your masks wash and 

55
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:22,772
sanitize your hands and , most 

56
00:02:22,772 --> 00:02:24,606
importantly , follow the updated 

57
00:02:24,606 --> 00:02:26,772
guidance as it is given . Marines will 

58
00:02:26,772 --> 00:02:28,828
always be a force of readiness , the 

59
00:02:28,828 --> 00:02:30,828
most ready when our nation is least 

60
00:02:30,828 --> 00:02:32,828
ready . Staying ready means staying 

61
00:02:32,828 --> 00:02:34,840
healthy above all , take care of 

62
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,118
yourselves and take care of each other , 

63
00:02:37,118 --> 00:02:37,860
