1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,670 sleep is about talent management , 3 00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:07,892 really at the at the basic level . What 4 00:00:07,892 --> 00:00:10,400 we're trying to do is figure out what 5 00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:12,188 people already have embedded in 6 00:00:12,188 --> 00:00:14,299 themselves in regard , toe language , 7 00:00:14,299 --> 00:00:16,270 whether they can read , write or 8 00:00:16,270 --> 00:00:18,410 interpret , and then give them the 9 00:00:18,410 --> 00:00:21,090 opportunity to be a part of mission set 10 00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:23,267 that they otherwise wouldn't be a part 11 00:00:23,267 --> 00:00:26,760 of . It helps us and then So I've been 12 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,450 in the league program since 2014 . 13 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,610 Ever since then , I had the 14 00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:36,270 opportunities to go TV wise and was 15 00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:38,830 able to take some in mental classes . 16 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,550 It's like a virtual class the teacher 17 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,740 with teachers , some , uh , some Korean 18 00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:49,380 vocabularies going over news . So last 19 00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:52,790 winter I went to okay map program , 20 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,690 which is Korean boring exchange program , 21 00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,630 which I was , um , I wasn t y 22 00:01:00,630 --> 00:01:04,520 as interpreter between our U S . Marine 23 00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:07,020 and , uh , the Korean Marines . They 24 00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:09,242 were doing some cold weather training . 25 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,140 Then I was kind of liaising and also 26 00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:15,160 translator . E got to see some cool 27 00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:18,200 stuff , what they do and how they have 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,730 a good partnership between . And it was 29 00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:24,500 such honorable moment that I was part 30 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:28,070 of their mission . Without having those 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,810 leave experiences . I wouldn't be able 32 00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:33,450 to make it this far , even though I'm a 33 00:01:33,450 --> 00:01:36,720 following Korean . Yeah , they still 34 00:01:36,730 --> 00:01:39,730 keep me up with Korean cultures and 35 00:01:39,730 --> 00:01:41,900 languages , so I really appreciate 36 00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,910 their support . Our leap . Scholars 37 00:01:44,910 --> 00:01:46,940 here at Ramstein definitely have a 38 00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,120 strategic impact on mission , and they 39 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,810 do that because part of our task is to 40 00:01:52,810 --> 00:01:55,140 strengthen alliances and partnerships . 41 00:01:55,150 --> 00:01:58,000 And the best way for us to do that is 42 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,090 to implicate ourselves into what our 43 00:02:01,090 --> 00:02:03,370 partners air busy doing . I think it's 44 00:02:03,370 --> 00:02:06,170 important because it teaches you about 45 00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:07,847 what they call cross cultural 46 00:02:07,847 --> 00:02:10,580 competency on . That's your ability to 47 00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:12,701 learn about a new culture and then be 48 00:02:12,701 --> 00:02:15,790 able to go to a country that practices 49 00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:17,710 it and be able to work with other 50 00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:19,710 people , uh , out of speaking their 51 00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:22,460 language or just understanding , uh , 52 00:02:22,940 --> 00:02:25,680 their culture and being ableto work 53 00:02:25,690 --> 00:02:28,100 with other people . Being a part of a 54 00:02:28,110 --> 00:02:30,980 strategic alliance is our ability to 55 00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:33,150 understand what the other culture is , 56 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,850 our ability to line our values up with 57 00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:39,080 what they're already doing . Yes , we 58 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,080 want to deter . Yes , we want to be 59 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,380 lethal . Yes , we want toe win , and 60 00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:45,600 the best way to do that is to find a 61 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,850 win win , and we can do that through 62 00:02:47,850 --> 00:02:51,760 Leap . Look at Leap as a program 63 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,770 and consider it as a as an outlet to 64 00:02:54,770 --> 00:02:57,940 both . Build , refine and use your 65 00:02:57,940 --> 00:03:00,650 language proficiency all the while 66 00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:03,940 serving in uniform and learning another 67 00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:07,070 trade or skill or refining your 68 00:03:07,070 --> 00:03:09,670 leadership in your primary job . You 69 00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:12,580 don't have to be perfect at it if you 70 00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:15,250 have the skill , just part of it . I 71 00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:17,306 mean , a lot of people think that in 72 00:03:17,306 --> 00:03:19,417 order to be a part of leap , you have 73 00:03:19,417 --> 00:03:21,639 to be incredibly fluent at a language . 74 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,583 You have to be able to read it and 75 00:03:23,583 --> 00:03:23,400 write it and interpret it . That 76 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,456 couldn't be further from the truth . 77 00:03:25,456 --> 00:03:28,720 What part of the language can you do ? 78 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,340 Well , bring that and then we'll work 79 00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:34,160 on that together . That's gonna help us 80 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,380 find your talent and then manage that 81 00:03:37,390 --> 00:03:38,460 toward mission .
