And I'll never forget, you know,

The old generation military would say if the military wanted you to have a family that issue you one like that was a thing.

That is not the case in today's modern military family or today's working family.

And so we've got to update our HR people policies and they have to be relevant.

um, at the speed that we need it to, to be able to onboard talent that we have.

The other thing that I would say is, and this can be controversial and I've had a lot of my, um, peers in the military kind of freak out when I say these things, but when I think about the, the military that we're going to need in the future, it looks more like oceans 11, um, than it does, um,

You know, from 50 or 60 years ago, like I care less about the rank that somebody has on their sleeves or their shoulders.

I actually care about the potential and the talent and what they bring to the team.

And so that's where I think we're going to have to tweak up some of our stuff to reach that next generation.

The other thing that I would say, it's interesting because people...

people always say, oh, this generation.

And I'm like, they said that about me and you, you know, when we entered the workforce.

And what I would say is this generation has choice.

This generation wants to know that they are part of something greater.

This generation is going to ask why.

And we better be able to have some transparency to help

You know, just bring them along so they understand the big and they're so smart and talented.

Like they know.

Right.

They're going to be just fine.
