WEBVTT 00:01.690 --> 00:04.023 Marines and sailors of America's finest , 00:04.090 --> 00:06.730 thank you for what you do . Now that S4 00:06.730 --> 00:08.841 has been crowned Bush One Turkey Bowl 00:08.841 --> 00:10.841 champions , it's time that we start 00:10.841 --> 00:12.841 preparing for Christmas and the New 00:12.841 --> 00:15.063 Year . Celebrating the holidays creates 00:15.063 --> 00:17.286 a perfect opportunity to relax from our 00:17.286 --> 00:19.341 constant everyday work and reconnect 00:19.341 --> 00:21.341 with family and friends both on the 00:21.341 --> 00:23.119 island and back in the states . 00:23.119 --> 00:25.230 Remember , every day we represent the 00:25.230 --> 00:27.341 family that we were born into and the 00:27.341 --> 00:29.452 ones that we've chosen . As Marines , 00:29.452 --> 00:31.508 we are responsible for ourselves and 00:31.508 --> 00:33.619 those around us , accountable for our 00:33.619 --> 00:35.841 actions and the actions of those who we 00:35.841 --> 00:37.619 are with . And prepared for any 00:37.619 --> 00:39.674 situation with a deliberate planning 00:39.674 --> 00:41.619 process . If you're staying on the 00:41.619 --> 00:43.674 island , have your vehicle inspected 00:43.674 --> 00:45.619 and paperwork verified . If you're 00:45.619 --> 00:47.730 traveling off the island , check your 00:47.730 --> 00:47.459 baggage for contraband like spent 00:47.459 --> 00:49.810 ammunition casings and check your 00:49.810 --> 00:52.032 itinerary before heading to the airport 00:52.032 --> 00:54.143 to ensure that you arrive on time and 00:54.143 --> 00:56.310 at the correct terminal before . If 00:56.310 --> 00:58.199 you're staying on island , do not 00:58.199 --> 01:00.310 forget to have a vehicle safety kit . 01:00.310 --> 01:02.477 Having a carjacked to change a tire or 01:02.477 --> 01:04.699 a first aid kit to respond to an injury 01:04.699 --> 01:06.866 is something no one wants to be caught 01:06.866 --> 01:08.977 without when they need it . If you're 01:08.977 --> 01:08.309 traveling off island , driving 01:08.309 --> 01:10.531 conditions in the local community might 01:10.531 --> 01:12.531 be different than in Okinawa . It's 01:12.531 --> 01:14.753 always a good idea to remain polite and 01:14.753 --> 01:16.698 professional when interacting with 01:16.698 --> 01:18.976 others . With the turn of the new year , 01:18.976 --> 01:21.031 remember to set goals for yourself . 01:21.031 --> 01:23.142 Set personal and professional , short 01:23.142 --> 01:25.365 and long-term goals that are specific , 01:25.365 --> 01:27.476 measurable , achievable , realistic , 01:27.476 --> 01:29.531 and time bound . Example , I want to 01:29.531 --> 01:32.069 run a 285 PFT before April 30th , or I 01:32.069 --> 01:34.180 want . Complete my PME before the end 01:34.180 --> 01:36.402 of 2nd quarter . And whether your goals 01:36.402 --> 01:38.402 are to become more physically fit , 01:38.402 --> 01:40.625 earn a college degree , or build better 01:40.625 --> 01:42.569 habits like less screen time , you 01:42.569 --> 01:44.847 cannot accomplish every goal overnight . 01:44.847 --> 01:46.847 Establishing milestones within your 01:46.847 --> 01:49.069 goals allows you to celebrate victories 01:49.069 --> 01:51.069 along the journey . Have a safe and 01:51.069 --> 01:52.847 enjoyable holiday season , stay 01:52.847 --> 01:55.209 disciplined and set the example even at 01:55.209 --> 01:56.987 family gatherings . Mushh one , 01:57.300 --> 01:58.129 America's finest .
