Teoh our missions and planning 14 00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:36,924 for things . It brings a whole new 15 00:00:36,924 --> 00:00:38,920 level of understanding of other 16 00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:41,390 countries when we work with them as 17 00:00:41,390 --> 00:00:45,100 well thing 18 00:00:46,650 --> 00:00:49,360 my commission , because I was pushed by 19 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,020 my friends and my mentors to take on a 20 00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:54,242 higher level of leadership because they 21 00:00:54,242 --> 00:00:56,298 believed in me , even though I might 22 00:00:56,298 --> 00:00:58,242 not believe them myself , and they 23 00:00:58,242 --> 00:01:00,298 think that could do more for the Air 24 00:01:00,298 --> 00:01:02,464 Force .

They can't come out and be 32 00:01:16,082 --> 00:01:18,138 in the military . Despite not seeing 33 00:01:18,138 --> 00:01:19,960 that many agent faces in the military
