restoration of Charles the second to 

30
00:03:33,348 --> 00:03:35,514

make a positive impact on others today 

70
00:07:41,899 --> 00:07:43,970
as we pause for this ceremony and 

71
00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:46,670
notice what and who surrounds us . We 

72
00:07:46,679 --> 00:07:48,679
are reminded of the notion that the 

73
00:07:48,679 --> 00:07:52,070
only thing constant is change as is our 

74
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:54,301
custom . We give our time and attention 

75
00:07:54,301 --> 00:07:56,246
to witness and participate in this 

76
00:07:56,246 --> 00:07:58,640
change of command ceremony . Together , 

77
00:07:58,649 --> 00:08:00,649
we send out with our blessing , our 

78
00:08:00,649 --> 00:08:02,649
encouragement and well wishes . Our 

79
00:08:02,649 --> 00:08:04,649
fellow servant and leader , Colonel 

80
00:08:04,649 --> 00:08:06,593
Randolph and his wife as he leaves 

81
00:08:06,593 --> 00:08:08,970
joint base Andrews in the NCR , I pray 

82
00:08:08,980 --> 00:08:10,924
that he will take all the positive 

83
00:08:10,924 --> 00:08:13,147
memories of his time here , this sacred 

84
00:08:13,147 --> 00:08:15,440
place where 30 years ago , he secured 

85
00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:17,829
the key to his success by marrying his 

86
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:20,649
wife Penny . Here at chapter one , I 

87
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:22,882
know , I ask that you give him strength 

88
00:08:22,882 --> 00:08:24,827
courage . He must now face the big 

89
00:08:24,827 --> 00:08:27,390
apple and the United Nations without an 

90
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:29,739
air force chaplain by his side . May 

91
00:08:29,750 --> 00:08:31,917
you always remember that we are just a 

92
00:08:31,917 --> 00:08:34,340
phone call away and the like manner we 

93

and all that they bring to our Griffin 

95
00:08:38,757 --> 00:08:40,868
family . I pray comfort for comfort , 

96
00:08:40,868 --> 00:08:43,090
for him and his family over the loss of 

97
00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:45,090
no longer having a family , Mart or 

98
00:08:45,090 --> 00:08:47,312
Lawson's nearby . I know that will be a 

99
00:08:47,312 --> 00:08:49,201
transition . May his time here be 

100
00:08:49,201 --> 00:08:51,460
fruitful , not only for him but for all

our loss and an eager expectation for 

104
00:08:58,191 --> 00:09:00,302

127
00:10:11,109 --> 00:10:13,165

many mission partners here at joint 

129
00:10:15,165 --> 00:10:19,140

00:10:45,570 --> 00:10:49,440
hollowed ceremonial tradition . I

Randolph is a talented man . I'll admit 

148
00:11:13,510 --> 00:11:16,260
that but he would not be able to 

149

accomplish the many things he has 

150
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,048

tuning in offline 

597

today is simply about gratitude , 

598

an expression of our heartfelt 

599
00:33:50,150 --> 00:33:53,000
gratitude for the incredible experience . 

600
00:33:53,030 --> 00:33:55,197
The Randolph's have been blessed to be 

601
00:33:55,197 --> 00:33:57,819
a part of here at joint base Andrews . 

602
00:33:58,369 --> 00:34:00,369
It's hard leaving the team that 

603
00:34:00,380 --> 00:34:02,949
projects their power and diplomacy 

604
00:34:02,959 --> 00:34:05,390
around the globe . It's hard leaving 

605
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,920
the team of joint and mission partners 

606
00:34:07,930 --> 00:34:10,949
who work tirelessly to execute an array 

607
00:34:10,959 --> 00:34:13,689
of mission sets at America's premier 

608
00:34:13,699 --> 00:34:16,810
airfield . So the toughest part of this 

609
00:34:16,820 --> 00:34:20,158
command tour is leaving . So 

610
00:34:20,168 --> 00:34:22,329
today is as tough as it gets 

611
00:34:25,949 --> 00:34:29,540
simply because we're leaving the 

612
00:34:29,550 --> 00:34:33,469
best team on the planet . Many 

613
00:34:33,479 --> 00:34:37,479
have heard me say I am anchored by my 

614
00:34:37,489 --> 00:34:40,330
three F's save 

615
00:34:41,310 --> 00:34:44,270
family and the force , 

616
00:34:45,110 --> 00:34:48,280
our Air Force and our joint war 

617
00:34:48,290 --> 00:34:51,060
fighting force . Therefore , it's only 

618
00:34:51,070 --> 00:34:54,659
appropriate for me to end my time as 

619
00:34:54,669 --> 00:34:56,669
the installation commander at joint 

620
00:34:56,669 --> 00:34:59,919
base Andrews centered around my three 

621
00:34:59,929 --> 00:35:03,679
Fs . My faith is what grounds me 

622
00:35:03,929 --> 00:35:06,800
and motivates me . So I give honor and 

623
00:35:06,810 --> 00:35:10,449
praise to God for this day and every 

624
00:35:10,459 --> 00:35:14,449
day because through God , all 

625
00:35:14,459 --> 00:35:18,250
things are possible including 

626
00:35:18,790 --> 00:35:21,610
enlisting in United States Air Force 

627
00:35:22,479 --> 00:35:25,620
from a special city called Baltimore 

628
00:35:26,780 --> 00:35:30,239
35 years ago , meeting and 

629
00:35:30,250 --> 00:35:33,709
marrying the love of my life at the 

630
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,600
same installation we would return two 

631
00:35:37,610 --> 00:35:40,879
years ago as the installation command 

632
00:35:40,889 --> 00:35:44,709
team . Ladies and gentlemen , that is 

633
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,379
all God's work and we know we are 

634
00:35:48,389 --> 00:35:51,850
truly blessed . So I thank God for this 

635
00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:55,830
day . I start each day thanking God for 

636
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,729
my extraordinarily loving and 

637
00:35:57,739 --> 00:36:00,840
supportive family . This is F number 

638
00:36:00,850 --> 00:36:03,850

639
00:36:03,860 --> 00:36:07,530

Tayvon Richard and our 

641
00:36:10,889 --> 00:36:13,810

642
00:36:13,820 --> 00:36:16,800
us or I should say on me today . Uh ,

647
00:36:29,310 --> 00:36:32,330
I , I come into the Fox Den , getting 

648
00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:34,929
ready to greet General Devoe and there 

649

together for over three decades and we

00:39:06,219 --> 00:39:08,386
are thankful for the continued support 

707
00:39:08,889 --> 00:39:11,270
we can receive from all of you . We 

708
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,280
couldn't do what we do for America 

709
00:39:14,290 --> 00:39:16,879
without our family . There are many 

710
00:39:16,889 --> 00:39:19,056
members of our extended family with us 

711
00:39:19,056 --> 00:39:21,199
today and online . These are some of 

712
00:39:21,209 --> 00:39:23,800
the most incredible and accomplished 

713
00:39:23,810 --> 00:39:26,760
people we have met over the years . 

714
00:39:27,290 --> 00:39:30,590
Teammates who have become friends and 

715
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,100
friends who have become family . There 

716
00:39:34,110 --> 00:39:36,332
are far too many to name individually . 

717
00:39:36,332 --> 00:39:38,554
So I will say a collective huge . Thank

00:39:44,699 --> 00:39:46,810
However , there are a few , I want to 

721
00:39:46,810 --> 00:39:48,643
highlight briefly today as their 

722
00:39:48,643 --> 00:39:50,949
support was crucial to this command to 

723
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,370
success . The former 19th Air Force 

724
00:39:54,379 --> 00:39:56,712

every night , our Griffin pride 

906
00:48:15,479 --> 00:48:17,939
embodies what our air force holds near 

907
00:48:17,949 --> 00:48:20,649
and dear our core values of integrity , 

908
00:48:20,659 --> 00:48:23,510
first service before self and 

909
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,399
excellence in all we do . You heard a 

910
00:48:26,409 --> 00:48:28,353
lot of that in the legion of merit 

911
00:48:28,353 --> 00:48:30,879
citation read earlier while I certainly 

912
00:48:30,889 --> 00:48:33,659
appreciate the recognition . All the 

913
00:48:33,669 --> 00:48:36,370
work was done collectively by team 

914
00:48:36,379 --> 00:48:38,989
Griffin and our mission partners and 

915
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,439
they did so in such fantastic fashion 

916
00:48:42,550 --> 00:48:46,050
without much fanfare , but always with 

917
00:48:46,060 --> 00:48:47,689
dignity and honor . 

918
00:48:50,209 --> 00:48:52,429
I couldn't be prouder to stand before 

919
00:48:52,439 --> 00:48:55,370
you as commander the 3/16 Wing and 

920
00:48:55,379 --> 00:48:58,060
joint Base Andrews . This is what great 

921
00:48:58,070 --> 00:49:01,409
teams are made of for us to accomplish 

922
00:49:01,419 --> 00:49:04,629
the day to day operational missions for 

923
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:08,610
five wings flying multiple aircraft . 

924
00:49:08,709 --> 00:49:11,479
8410 organizations from a smattering of 

925
00:49:11,489 --> 00:49:14,189
governmental agencies , military 

926
00:49:14,199 --> 00:49:17,409
service branches of all kinds , active 

927
00:49:17,419 --> 00:49:19,949
guard and reserve . We need to be a 

928
00:49:19,959 --> 00:49:22,790
cohesive team that has an understanding 

929
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,310
and appreciation for each 

930
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,030
organization's mission set . This sets 

931
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,610
the stage for constant inclusive and 

932
00:49:29,620 --> 00:49:32,989
transparent communication at all levels 

933
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,056
of leadership to garner the enduring 

934
00:49:35,056 --> 00:49:38,100
success and mission demands . Our 

935
00:49:38,110 --> 00:49:40,479
mission demands . It is this enduring 

936
00:49:40,489 --> 00:49:44,189
collaborative culture and teeming from 

937
00:49:44,199 --> 00:49:46,439
across the installation and our broader 

938
00:49:46,449 --> 00:49:48,449
Prince George County community that 

939
00:49:48,449 --> 00:49:51,179
makes it all come together underpinned 

940
00:49:51,189 --> 00:49:54,790
by our 316 Wayne Griffins who support 

941
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,580
and sustain all base operations . 

942
00:49:59,179 --> 00:50:02,020
So thank you for all your collaborative 

943
00:50:02,030 --> 00:50:04,139
spirit that understands no wing or 

944
00:50:04,149 --> 00:50:07,760
tenant can claim success 

945
00:50:08,790 --> 00:50:11,469
at joint base Andrews unless all wings 

946
00:50:11,739 --> 00:50:13,949
and tenant organizations can claim 

947
00:50:13,959 --> 00:50:15,989
success . That's the culture we've 

948
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,429
built and that is what it takes to be 

949
00:50:18,439 --> 00:50:20,750
successful at America's Airfield . 

950
00:50:26,159 --> 00:50:30,010
So as we depart on our next journey to 

951
00:50:30,020 --> 00:50:31,909
New York City and the Council on 

952
00:50:31,919 --> 00:50:34,141
Foreign Relations , I'm reminded of the 

953
00:50:34,141 --> 00:50:36,159
most important ingredient in 

954
00:50:36,169 --> 00:50:39,090
organizational success . When the 

955
00:50:39,100 --> 00:50:43,000
Ravens won the Super Bowl in 2013 , the 

956
00:50:43,010 --> 00:50:44,899
head coach was given the honor of 

957
00:50:44,899 --> 00:50:48,030
deciding what would be inscribed on 

958
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,570
their team's championship ring at the 

959
00:50:50,580 --> 00:50:53,209
final dinner . Coach Harbaugh took the 

960
00:50:53,219 --> 00:50:55,979
mic with everyone screaming , what's 

961
00:50:55,989 --> 00:50:58,649
going on ? The ring coach simply 

962
00:50:58,659 --> 00:51:01,110
replied , there are three things that 

963
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,810
were most important to us winning the 

964
00:51:03,820 --> 00:51:06,760
championship from the MVP quarterback 

965
00:51:06,770 --> 00:51:09,629
to the star defense , all the coaches , 

966
00:51:09,639 --> 00:51:12,280
the team doctors , security , event , 

967
00:51:12,290 --> 00:51:15,689
staff , owners , office , staff , et 

968
00:51:15,699 --> 00:51:17,643
cetera . They were all there . The 

969
00:51:17,643 --> 00:51:20,689
coach said every element of our 

970
00:51:20,699 --> 00:51:23,379
organization much like here at joint 

971
00:51:23,389 --> 00:51:25,979
base Andrews , every element of our 

972
00:51:25,989 --> 00:51:28,274
organization and excel to make us 

973
00:51:28,284 --> 00:51:30,754
champions . But the three things that 

974
00:51:30,764 --> 00:51:33,475
most contributed to us winning it all 

975
00:51:33,584 --> 00:51:36,225
and what will be inscribed inside our 

976
00:51:36,235 --> 00:51:39,375
rings are these the three things and 

977
00:51:39,385 --> 00:51:42,415
it's the same three things that enable 

978
00:51:42,425 --> 00:51:45,554
joint base Andrews and the 3/16 wing to 

979
00:51:45,564 --> 00:51:47,854
be successful . And those three things 

980
00:51:47,864 --> 00:51:51,675
are the team , the team , 

981
00:51:52,340 --> 00:51:55,629
the team . So ladies and gentlemen , 

982
00:51:55,790 --> 00:51:58,969
when people ask me , what was it ? 

983
00:52:00,010 --> 00:52:02,510
That was most important of the mission 

984
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,629
success at joint base Andrews . I will 

985
00:52:05,639 --> 00:52:09,360
always reply with the team , the 

986
00:52:09,370 --> 00:52:11,320
team , the team , 

987
00:52:13,070 --> 00:52:15,181
I'll leave you with one final message 

988
00:52:15,181 --> 00:52:18,959
of gratitude . Have I mentioned the 

989
00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:20,750
story about the turtle yet ? 

990
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,629
Well , here it goes . If you come 

991
00:52:25,639 --> 00:52:28,590
across a turtle sitting on a fence post , 

992
00:52:29,379 --> 00:52:32,020
you may not know how the turtle got 

993
00:52:32,030 --> 00:52:35,459
there , but you know , unequivocally , 

994
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,020
it could not have gotten there alone 

995
00:52:40,189 --> 00:52:42,189
as you think about where you are in 

996
00:52:42,189 --> 00:52:46,139
life . That is your fence post and 

997
00:52:46,149 --> 00:52:49,840
you are the turtle . Never forget you 

998
00:52:49,850 --> 00:52:52,719
didn't get where you are on your own . 

999
00:52:53,620 --> 00:52:56,360
So take a moment to thank those who 

1000
00:52:56,370 --> 00:52:59,320
make up your fence posts as I have done 

1001
00:52:59,330 --> 00:53:02,149
today by thanking all of you for being 

1002
00:53:02,159 --> 00:53:05,500
part of the Randolph family fence posts . 

1003
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,560
Thank you all and your families for 

1004
00:53:08,570 --> 00:53:10,719

1007

paths crossing again soon . 

1008
00:53:19,540 --> 00:53:22,520
May God bless each and every one of you ? 

1009
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,120
May God bless our service members 

1010
00:53:25,129 --> 00:53:27,639
stationed abroad and in harm's way . 

1011
00:53:28,030 --> 00:53:30,350
May God bless the United States Air 

1012
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:34,060
Force and our joint force ? And may God 

1013

another P CS . I know there are 

1108
01:00:10,919 --> 01:00:12,808
additional burdens and sacrifices 

1109
01:00:12,808 --> 01:00:14,863

01:00:28,979 --> 01:00:31,146
having to leave close friends behind . 

1117
01:00:31,146 --> 01:00:30,810

change of command , but I'd like to 

1134

assumption of responsibility as it is 

1136
01:01:12,193 --> 01:01:14,520
just as significant for the Wing Chief 

1137
01:01:14,530 --> 01:01:16,830
Elms . So excited to team up with you 

1138
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,379

some words that I can say on his behalf 

1143
01:01:27,889 --> 01:01:29,889

virtually , thank you for always being

for your friendship , General Tiger , 

1166
01:02:23,149 --> 01:02:25,316
no stranger to joint base Andrews as a 

1167
01:02:25,316 --> 01:02:27,371
previous wing commander when I was a 

1168
01:02:27,371 --> 01:02:29,593
squadron commander here . Thank you for

01:02:29,593 --> 01:02:31,816
your continued support , mentorship and

01:02:31,816 --> 01:02:34,219
friendship . Colonel Snyder . If you're 

1171
01:02:34,250 --> 01:02:36,306
out there , I think I saw you in the

bleachers . Uh Thank you for being here . 

1173
01:02:38,639 --> 01:02:40,694

Snyder was my first do then squadron 

1175
01:02:42,750 --> 01:02:44,750
commander . Uh when I first arrived 

1176
01:02:44,750 --> 01:02:46,917
here as a young lieutenant and he sent 

1177
01:02:46,917 --> 01:02:49,083
me on a right path that led me to this 

1178
01:02:49,083 --> 01:02:51,194
point . Thank you and looking forward 

1179
01:02:51,194 --> 01:02:53,083
to our breakfasts again . I could 

1180
01:02:53,083 --> 01:02:55,028
probably go on and on thanking all 

1181
01:02:55,028 --> 01:02:56,972
those that have supported mentor , 

1182
01:02:56,972 --> 01:02:59,250
guided us during our air force journey . 

1183
01:02:59,250 --> 01:03:01,417
But that would probably take literally 

1184
01:03:01,417 --> 01:03:03,139
all day , maybe days because I 

1185
01:03:03,139 --> 01:03:05,290
definitely needed a lot of help . You
