WEBVTT 00:01.440 --> 00:03.329 Position of colors for the senior 00:03.329 --> 00:05.273 elicit advisor to the Chief of the 00:05.273 --> 00:07.496 National Guard Bureau . It's a badge of 00:07.496 --> 00:09.551 honor for our Alis Force and it's an 00:09.551 --> 00:11.662 evolution of who we are as a National 00:11.662 --> 00:14.590 Guard . We've been around since 1636 00:14.600 --> 00:16.711 and we have been an institution to be 00:16.711 --> 00:18.739 reckoned with since then . We are a 00:18.750 --> 00:21.190 phenomenal force and this is only a 00:21.200 --> 00:23.089 recognition of something that has 00:23.089 --> 00:25.200 already been in place for hundreds of 00:25.200 --> 00:27.422 years . So what it means for the future 00:27.422 --> 00:29.533 of the c elicit advisor , I would say 00:29.533 --> 00:31.756 it just means that it's a reaffirmation 00:31.756 --> 00:33.922 of the hard work that needs to be done 00:33.922 --> 00:35.978 and that has been done is it reminds 00:35.978 --> 00:38.560 those that come um years after the c 00:38.569 --> 00:40.790 elicit advisor that this is something 00:40.799 --> 00:42.855 not only to aspire to but to hold in 00:42.855 --> 00:44.799 the highest regard and to do their 00:44.799 --> 00:46.855 absolute best to represent it in its 00:46.855 --> 00:50.540 absolute best . Encasing the se A 00:50.549 --> 00:52.939 colors honors the contributions of our 00:52.950 --> 00:54.783 National Guard , senior enlisted 00:54.783 --> 00:58.669 leadership past and present . This rule 00:58.680 --> 01:00.990 joins two illicit forces with two 01:01.000 --> 01:03.900 unique cultures , the army and the Air 01:03.909 --> 01:06.449 Force united by their duties and 01:06.459 --> 01:08.220 identity as guardsmen . 01:12.209 --> 01:14.320 You know , to be able to go somewhere 01:14.320 --> 01:16.487 with the flag of our enlisted National 01:16.487 --> 01:18.653 Guard force . I'll tell you what it is 01:18.653 --> 01:20.709 going to be something that will make 01:20.709 --> 01:22.931 people stand just a little taller . The 01:22.931 --> 01:25.153 position of colors represent the entire 01:25.153 --> 01:27.320 National Guard , not just the enlisted 01:27.320 --> 01:29.487 force . Uh , the colors themselves are 01:29.487 --> 01:31.487 strong , they're powerful , they're 01:31.487 --> 01:33.660 humble and they are service oriented 01:33.669 --> 01:35.669 and that's us as a National Guard . 01:35.669 --> 01:37.891 That's our institution . Always ready . 01:37.891 --> 01:38.080 Always there .
