1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:01,840
- I'm Major Bradley Jones.

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:03,380
- I'm Major Maggie Jones.

3
00:00:03,380 --> 00:00:05,023
- [Together] And we're the Jones.

4
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:08,960
- The Marine Corps has been
very good to both of us.

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,960
He's approaching 20 years
and I'm approaching 12.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,270
And I got plenty of time
off to have my kids.

7
00:00:17,270 --> 00:00:19,700
I've had outstanding human beings

8
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:22,210
that were in charge of
me that gave me time

9
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:23,590
to figure out how to be a mom

10
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:25,988
and a marine and to balance it all.

11
00:00:25,988 --> 00:00:29,040
And, you're had a lot of
good leaders to though.

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,370
So, we're at different billets right now

13
00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:33,700
but no one is better than the other one.

14
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,650
I mean, we're the same MOS, the same rank.

15
00:00:35,650 --> 00:00:37,756
You can't get more egalitarian than that.

16
00:00:37,756 --> 00:00:41,770
Brad is back in RTR as
a second battalion SO,

17
00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:44,302
and I am in 6th district so I'm

18
00:00:44,302 --> 00:00:46,126
the escort here.

19
00:00:46,126 --> 00:00:48,500
It's very interesting to be on both sides

20
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:51,460
of the, of the equation,
and of an institution

21
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:53,894
that keeps the Marine Corps alive.

22
00:00:53,894 --> 00:00:56,250
- Through her I get to meet all the guys

23
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:57,752
that ship all the recruits to us.

24
00:00:57,752 --> 00:01:00,280
I get to kind of, like, let them know

25
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,540
what our struggles are with
what they're shipping to us.

26
00:01:02,540 --> 00:01:04,489
But I can also bring that perspective to

27
00:01:04,489 --> 00:01:06,920
the series commanders
and company commanders

28
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,318
and help them understand.

29
00:01:09,318 --> 00:01:12,020
- I think one of the
advantages that we have is that

30
00:01:12,020 --> 00:01:13,490
my experience is your experience

31
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:14,910
and your experience is my experience.

32
00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:18,410
So we've just been able
to just broaden who we

33
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:19,990
are as officers and as marines.

34
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:21,990
And hopefully just as people in general.
