00:00Previously on Our Lives.
00:01I'd like to move 5,000 troops in the next two weeks.
00:04What do you think, Colonel? Can you handle it?
00:06We can do it, yes, sir.
00:08I'd like to enroll David in the after-school program.
00:12Awesome.
00:13One more thing.
00:14I thought you should know my wife is Joan Burton.
00:18Colonel Joan Burton?
00:21Charlie Mayfield thinks that she can get away with anything because she's colorful.
00:25Which pushes your buttons, obviously.
00:27It is not personal. I have a garrison.
00:30To run, if people don't follow regs, discipline arose.
00:34Could you imagine living in a place like this?
00:37Maybe you could.
00:38Oh, no, no. This house should belong to the Corps, Commander.
00:40Oh, the Holdens are perfectly happy where they are.
00:43Isn't that right, Claudia Joy?
00:44Yes, it is.
00:45You could be neighbors.
00:47Denise?
00:48What do you know about Jackie Clark?
00:50She's bright, attractive.
00:52Kevin had a driver overseas.
00:55A very attractive female soldier.
00:58I just thought you should know.
01:00Might affect your strategy.
01:02I don't have a strategy, Audrey.
01:04My point.
01:05Get one.
01:19We are still short of volunteers for next week's clothing drive.
01:24Who would like to help?
01:27Show of hands, please.
01:30No one?
01:32Okay.
01:34We'll come back to that.
01:37Next item.
01:38Hi.
01:39Roxy LeBlanc.
01:41Nice to meet you.
01:43I hate being late.
01:45It's my first company FRG meeting.
01:47What did I miss?
01:49Same old, same old.
01:51It's very important that I have them.
01:54Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
01:56Is there a problem, Marian?
01:58Yeah.
01:59No jelly donuts.
02:01Not this again.
02:03Uh, sorry.
02:04Glazed were on special.
02:05Yeah, well, I hate glazed.
02:07So why don't you bring the snacks next time?
02:10You never do anything.
02:12Oh, look who's talking.
02:14I brought snacks once.
02:16Yeah, a box of Oreos.
02:18I say we should be eating healthy anyway, like muffins or something.
02:23Muffins aren't healthy.
02:25Ladies, please, we have a walk.
02:28Hey, we're all volunteers here, okay?
02:31You can't boss us around.
02:34Lighten up, Minji.
02:36You people don't work.
02:38You don't help.
02:40All you do is complain.
02:42You want the donuts?
02:43Here.
02:44Have donuts.
02:46I quit.
02:57Same old, same old.
03:12Hey.
03:13Hmm.
03:14Hi.
03:16What's on your plate today?
03:18Oh, I'm meeting, uh, Audrey Whitaker.
03:22What's she doing in town?
03:25Foundation meeting of some sort.
03:27You know, Audrey, she sits on more boards than most CEOs.
03:30I also think she knows more about the Army than most generals.
03:34I think Audrey would agree with you on that.
03:39Have you seen this?
03:40Yeah, it was in my early bird report.
03:44And?
03:45It's a nice article.
03:47Michael?
03:48The arrival of a new division commander is legitimate news.
03:52Right.
03:54Camelot?
03:55Jackie was named for Jackie Kennedy.
03:57Their families were friends.
03:58Yeah, 50 years ago.
04:01It's a puff piece, Claudia Joy.
04:03Is it?
04:04Oh, listen to this.
04:06As we enjoyed sweet tea on the gracious porch of their plantation-style home, Jackie revealed that the Clarks hope
04:13to make Fort Marshall an easy access post.
04:16Improving community relations is a high priority for Kevin and me, she said.
04:20I happen to support the concept of an easy access post.
04:24It's been kicking around for years.
04:26Fine, but this makes it sound like it's the Clarks idea.
04:29And that we did a poor job at community relations.
04:33I think you're reading too much into it.
04:35This doesn't bother you?
04:36No.
04:38Should it?
04:41It's blatant manipulation of the media.
04:44Don't think for one minute that Jackie Clark didn't work very hard to plant that article.
04:49She's done it before.
04:50Oh, I had a nickel for every time I've heard that Camelot reference.
04:55Really?
04:55Oh, please.
04:57I'm surprised she wasn't wearing a pillbox hat.
05:02Michael says it's no big deal.
05:04Of course he does.
05:06He's a great general.
05:08But when it comes to power politics, he's clueless.
05:12No offense.
05:14Bryce was the same way before I met him.
05:17So you think I have a right to be concerned?
05:19You have an obligation, my dear.
05:22I mean, Jackie Clark has already launched her campaign to get that third star for her husband.
05:28You and Michael haven't even mobilized.
05:31That's what I've tried to tell them.
05:33Did you read about the uncasing ceremony?
05:36Coronation, you mean?
05:38It does sound excessive.
05:41Excessive.
05:42An uncasing ceremony should be a simple, dignified matter.
05:47A division plants its flag at new headquarters, period.
05:50This sounds more like a Roman circus.
05:53I wouldn't be surprised to see the Clarks lit in on chariots amidst a releasing of doves.
05:58Oh, Audrey.
06:00I'm serious.
06:02Before you know it, Claudia Joy, the public and Congress are going to forget that the Holdens were ever at
06:09Fort Marshall.
06:11It's such a good thing I'm here.
06:14Nice article this morning.
06:16I wish they'd stop using that Camelot reference.
06:20I mean, it's such a cliche.
06:21Besides, it was supposed to be an article about Kevin, not a Better Homes and Gardens piece.
06:26Makes good copy.
06:27I suppose.
06:28Did you hear about that Bravo Company FRG meeting?
06:31I mean, the great donut meltdown.
06:33It was all over post.
06:35Bad situation.
06:36Poor Minji.
06:38She's always had trouble with that FRG, but it happens sometimes.
06:41Bad chemistry.
06:42I don't believe in bad chemistry.
06:44I believe in good leadership.
06:46I wouldn't judge Minji too harshly.
06:48This isn't our native culture, and, well, it's hard to wrangle a bunch of self-absorbed 20-year-olds.
06:54I agree, but the fact is they need a new FRG leader.
06:58Somebody to kick butt and take names.
07:00Any ideas?
07:04Actually, I do.
07:06FRG leader?
07:07Me?
07:08Why not?
07:08You'd make a great leader.
07:10You're shark bait, you mean.
07:12You should have been there, Denise.
07:14They ate that poor woman alive.
07:16I know.
07:17It's not the easiest group.
07:18Are you kidding?
07:20They're horrible.
07:21They just need to be led.
07:23Yeah, off a cliff.
07:25What about, um, Captain Brunson's wife?
07:28Captain Brunson is between wives.
07:31That's why Minji took the job.
07:33Her husband is the XO.
07:35Well, who's, like, assistant XO?
07:38There is no assistant XO.
07:40The next in line are platoon leaders, and that's you.
07:43You're an officer's wife, Roxy.
07:45That means more responsibility.
07:47Yes, I get it.
07:49Look, I would love to help, but with the kids and the home bar...
07:54I will help, and so will Jackie.
07:56She really wants to meet you, by the way.
07:58Yeah, well, I don't want to meet her.
08:00Oh, come on.
08:01I know you got a bad first impression, but she's a great person, and she could be an important contact
08:07for you.
08:09Being an FRG leader could help Trevor's career.
08:14Hmm.
08:16I hadn't thought about that.
08:20You really think I could do it?
08:22I know you can.
08:24And right now, the Army needs you.
08:27Wow.
08:29Now, that's something I never expected to hear.
08:34Signature, ma'am.
08:37Get me Major Houston in facilities?
08:43Sir.
08:44I understand we have a problem with the transition process, Colonel.
08:47In what respect, sir?
08:48I've heard about long lines, bottlenecks, inadequate personnel.
08:53Well, we've experienced some backlog in housing, sir.
08:56But nothing that wasn't anticipated.
08:58And we're compensating with temporary housing off post.
09:01Then why are my officers being bombarded with you?
09:06I think some families may have arrived from Fort Hope with unrealistic expectations.
09:11So you're saying this is...
09:21Your job, isn't it?
09:23To make them understand?
09:27To handling families, Colonel.
09:29Right now, I'd say we're doing a piss-poor job.
09:32Yes, sir.
09:33Families aren't happy.
09:34Soldiers aren't happy.
09:35Performance suffers.
09:36Understood, sir.
09:37People think there's a problem.
09:39There's a problem.
09:41We need to fix it.
09:42Yes, sir.
09:44Yes, sir.
09:51You won't believe what I just heard.
09:54What?
09:55Nelson Bring is coming to the encasing ceremony.
10:00Senator Bring?
10:01Only one reason for that windbag to be here.
10:04He happens to sit on the Armed Services Committee.
10:07As does Senator Powell.
10:10He was at Jackie's fundraiser last week.
10:13Well, that's two votes for Kevin Clark.
10:18How many of you lined up, Claudia Joy?
10:20None that I know of.
10:22We're going to take care of that.
10:25I have broken down the committee into three categories.
10:30Probable, approachable, and non-negotiable.
10:32I don't know how I feel about this, Sergeant.
10:34Sure you do.
10:35You just need to let your mind catch up to your gut.
10:39Ask yourself, who do you want to get that third star?
10:43Michael or Kevin Clark?
10:49We'll look at this later.
10:53Let's talk about home field advantage.
10:56What do you mean?
10:57Fort Marshall is your house, Claudia Joy.
11:00You can't let Jackie Clark just walk in and take over.
11:04She is division commander's wife, Audrey.
11:06And you are the corps commander's wife.
11:10Are you really going to let her just pluck off all the relationships that you've worked so hard to establish?
11:16I still have those relationships.
11:18I just don't have the divisional responsibilities anymore.
11:22That's Jackie's lane now.
11:24Yes, but that doesn't give her a license to steal.
11:28If you're not careful, she's going to usurp everything that isn't nailed down.
11:33I think you're exaggerating, maybe.
11:36Claudia Joy.
11:37Roxy, hi.
11:39Hi.
11:39Uh, Audrey Whitaker, Roxy LeBlanc.
11:43Hi.
11:43Nice to meet you.
11:44Pleasure.
11:46Roxy's a really good friend.
11:47Her husband's a second lieutenant.
11:50Yes.
11:50And now I'm an FRG leader to boot.
11:54What?
11:54Yeah.
11:55Trevor's company had a problem, so Denise asked me to step up.
11:59Oh, that's terrific.
12:01Congratulations.
12:03Tell you the truth, I'm, uh, kind of nervous.
12:06Why?
12:07Well, I'm supposed to meet Jackie Clark tomorrow, and I don't want to screw it up.
12:12Denise says she really wants to meet me, so.
12:15Mm-hmm.
12:16I thought I'd bring pralines.
12:19Is that stupid?
12:20No.
12:20Good manners are never a waste, dear.
12:23That's what I thought.
12:26Well, I'm sorry to interrupt.
12:27It was nice meeting you.
12:29See you later.
12:30Bye.
12:34Still think I'm exaggerating?
12:44Hi there.
12:45Hi.
12:47Haven't seen you in a while.
12:48Oh, I know.
12:49I've been so busy helping Jackie plan the ceremony.
12:52I wouldn't believe how much work is involved.
12:55Oh, I would.
12:57She's such a stickler for detail.
12:59Anyway, I was just next door for another meeting, and I saw you.
13:03I thought I'd stop by and see if you could help me out next week.
13:06Sure.
13:07What's going on?
13:08A planning meeting for the division banquet.
13:12Oh.
13:12Well, what about Jackie?
13:14It's her division after all.
13:16Yeah, she'll be in Washington for a leadership symposium.
13:19You know the one you used to go to?
13:21Right.
13:23I'm not sure I'd be much help, Denise.
13:26Well, of course you would.
13:27Look, I told protocol next Wednesday at 10, if that works for you.
13:34Well, let me check my calendar.
13:37Can I get back to you?
13:38Sure.
13:39Yeah.
13:43I have some news.
13:44Roxy is going to be the new FRG leader in Bravo Company.
13:48I know.
13:49She told me.
13:50Oh.
13:50She seemed really excited.
13:52I think it's great.
13:54Yeah, yeah.
13:55Me too.
13:56Well, you seem busy.
13:58Oh, you know, God, I'd offer you some tea, but...
14:03It's fine.
14:03And I should get going.
14:05I'll play.
14:06Right.
14:15Is everything going well with General Clark?
14:18Oh, outstanding.
14:19Yeah?
14:20Just like old times.
14:23Only now I'm a colonel and he's a general, if you can believe that.
14:28Time sure does fly.
14:30Yeah.
14:30And you don't miss working with General Holden.
14:34No.
14:34I still work with him.
14:35It's not as directly.
14:36Why?
14:38Ah, it's silly.
14:39What is?
14:43Well, um...
14:45You know, I've been feeling guilty about spending so much time with Jackie lately.
14:52The strangest vibe from Claudia Joy today.
14:55It's like she's jealous or something.
14:59Really?
15:01Well, that surprises me.
15:03I don't see if all people should know what a change of command is all about.
15:07Yeah, I know, but we're not soldiers, Frank.
15:09We're friends.
15:10It's different.
15:13So what's going on, really?
15:16I get the feeling that Jackie and Claudia Joy don't like each other.
15:21Stay out of it, dear.
15:22Frank.
15:23No, I'm serious.
15:24Oh, how am I supposed to stay out of it?
15:25Claudia Joy's my best friend, and Jackie's...
15:27Jackie is your new best friend.
15:30That's just how it has to be.
15:32Well, I'm not just gonna drop Claudia Joy.
15:34I'm not suggesting you do, baby.
15:37I'm just saying don't get caught in a crossfire.
15:40You know?
15:41Stay low.
15:41Keep your head down.
15:43That's all.
15:45Mm-hmm.
15:51Wow.
15:53Not bad for an FRG leader, huh?
15:57Oh, if that is the secret, I am all for it.
16:04I'm really proud of you, babe.
16:07Yeah?
16:07Yeah.
16:09I just hope you're not taking on too much.
16:12I don't think so.
16:15And besides, I like helping your career.
16:20How's that?
16:22Well, Denise said that Jackie Clark could be a good contact for me, and being an FRG leader
16:29could help you.
16:33Yeah, okay.
16:35But it goes both ways, Rox.
16:38What do you mean?
16:39Well, that whole donut thing the other day?
16:43Mm-hmm.
16:45Lieutenant Webster's in the doghouse with the captain because of that.
16:49Why?
16:50I told you it wasn't Minji's fault.
16:52The other women were horrible to her.
16:55Doesn't matter.
16:56Guy can't keep it together at home.
16:58How's he supposed to lead on the field?
17:01That is so unfair.
17:03Just how it is, babe.
17:05So, what you're saying is no pressure, but don't screw up.
17:12Yeah, pretty much.
17:14Great.
17:24Hey.
17:26Hey.
17:28Look at the plate in the fridge.
17:31Thanks, but I am too tired to eat.
17:36And I may go to bed in my uniform.
17:41Any sign of this slowing down?
17:44Not until all 15,000 new families are comfortably housed.
17:51If I live that long.
17:53That bad?
17:56Mm-hmm.
17:58General Clark came down hard on me today.
18:02Apparently, I have a communications problem.
18:05How so?
18:08Well, we are doing everything humanly possible, but people don't get it.
18:13They expect miracles, and then they call my office a hundred times a day about information that is clearly available
18:24on the website.
18:25So what can you do about it?
18:29Well, I'm holding a town hall meeting tomorrow night.
18:32I'm sure everyone that I am willing to listen and respond to their concerns.
18:38What do you think?
18:41Bring your Kevlar.
18:50Excuse me, Jackie.
18:52This is Roxy LeBlanc.
18:54Hey.
18:55So nice to meet you, Roxy.
18:57Denise has told me a lot about you.
18:58Same here.
18:59I mean, she's told me a lot about you, too.
19:03Well, we appreciate your commitment.
19:05Of course.
19:06Anything for Uncle Sam.
19:09Well, if you'd like to take a seat, we can get started.
19:11Sure.
19:16Can we talk wardrobe?
19:18I'm curious.
19:22Oh, I know.
19:23She's a little green, but she's going to do great.
19:25No, I believe you, but...
19:27Oh, I'll talk to her.
19:29Okay, good.
19:31Thank you for coming, ladies.
19:35Now, you're all first-time FRG leaders.
19:38Well, at least first time working with me.
19:41And because every post runs differently,
19:44I thought that I would share my philosophy with you,
19:47which is quite simple.
19:48Now, a post...
19:51...common methods.
19:53If you'll open your binders,
19:56you'll find everything we need to be successful
19:59together.
20:00In addition to the standard FRG materials...
20:06...I developed at Fort Hope,
20:08which I think you'll find useful.
20:11Let's start with the first tab.
20:18Okay, gentlemen.
20:19That's it.
20:20Think about what you want to talk about next time,
20:22and I'll see you then.
20:32Good start?
20:33Think so.
20:34Once word gets out we're having these counseling sessions,
20:37there's going to be overflow.
20:39Oh, we'll see.
20:40Count on it.
20:41Boys on post need a man to talk to.
20:43You can drop the sales pitch.
20:45I'm already on board.
20:47Oh, you think I could post a few of these?
20:55Colonel Burton's having a town hall?
20:57I am so there.
20:59Really?
21:00You kidding me?
21:01I got a lot to talk about.
21:04Starting with my balls.
21:08My equipment allotment.
21:11I've been waiting six months for basketballs,
21:14footballs, dodgeballs, you name it.
21:16If it's spheroid, I need it.
21:19I think this meeting's more for families.
21:21It says here, bring any issue you want to discuss.
21:25I'm bringing.
21:37Hey, Roxy.
21:39Oh, please don't tell me you have any more handouts.
21:43No, no handouts.
21:45Look, I just wanted to talk a little bit about FRG protocol.
21:51What do you mean?
21:52You know, image, how we present ourselves as a group.
21:59I'm talking about your clothes.
22:02Oh, what about them?
22:05Don't take this the wrong way.
22:06I love your style.
22:09It just doesn't exactly say FRG leader.
22:14Really?
22:15What do you think it says?
22:17Don't get upset.
22:18I'm trying not to, but you're criticizing the way I dress.
22:22No, I'm not.
22:24I was just wondering, Jackie and I were both wondering,
22:26if maybe you could just tone it down a bit when it comes to FRG events.
22:31What, she thinks I'm trailer trash?
22:33No, of course not.
22:36Jackie believes in certain standards, and by standards, she means...
22:41Country club clothes.
22:42Boring little Stepford wives all in a row.
22:45Yeah, that's not me, Denise.
22:47No one's asking you to change, Roxy.
22:49Actually, you are.
22:50If you would just listen...
22:52No, I hear you loud and clear.
22:54You're an officer's wife, Roxy.
22:56All I'm saying is maybe you could try to dress like one every now and then.
22:59Interesting.
23:00Maybe the Army doesn't need me so much after all.
23:15Calm down, sweetheart.
23:17I'm sure Denise didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
23:20Maybe not.
23:22She's that FRG Nazi Jackie Clark.
23:27She wants everyone to be her little clone.
23:29Well, I wouldn't be too hard on Jackie, either.
23:33Why not?
23:35Because I happen to agree with her.
23:39Not you, too.
23:41What does my hemline have to do with being an FRG leader?
23:45A lot, actually.
23:49Things change when your husband becomes an officer, Roxy.
23:52Yeah, your friends think you're an embarrassment.
23:57This isn't about you.
24:00This is about being part of something that's bigger than you.
24:05An officer's uniform commands respect.
24:08Same thing being an officer's wife.
24:11How you dress makes a statement.
24:13You know, I didn't sign up for the Army.
24:17Trevor did.
24:17That doesn't cut it, and you know it.
24:19When you married Trevor, you married into the Army.
24:23Yeah, well, I never saw this coming.
24:27I like the way I dress, and I don't want the Army changing who I am.
24:32It's too late.
24:33You're not the same woman who came here from Tuscaloosa, Roxy.
24:38Like it or not, you've grown.
24:40Now, you can ignore it if you want, but you can't deny it.
24:46You want my opinion?
24:50I don't think this is about clothes at all.
24:53I think it's about insecurity.
24:56Thank you, Roland.
24:59I'm serious.
25:01I know you can do the job.
25:03I'm not sure you do.
25:06Whatever you decide, don't let the prospect of a longer dress or shorter heels stop you.
25:15Shorter heels?
25:17Really?
25:18You'll always be the same Roxy underneath.
25:21Nothing can change that, thank God.
25:35I guess we'll start.
25:39Good evening.
25:41While we're waiting for more folks to show up, why don't we start with some Q&A?
25:47Yes, ma'am.
25:49I've got a seven-year-old and a nine-year-old.
25:52I've been calling and calling to get them enrolled in elementary school.
25:55Nobody will confirm anything.
25:57What's going on?
25:59Good question.
26:00We're going to cover the whole area of school enrollment during the education segment.
26:05Look, I can't stay here all night.
26:07Can't you just tell me now?
26:09All right.
26:11Due to the tremendous influx of new students,
26:15our schools are looking for more classroom space.
26:18This has swamped our computer systems,
26:21and it's delayed enrollment by a week or so.
26:23That would have been nice to know.
26:27Actually, ma'am, notice was posted on the Garrison Information Portal.
26:31It's directly linked to the Fort Marshall homepage.
26:35Hey, I'm no computer genius.
26:37I tried using the website and got nowhere.
26:40After a while, I gave up.
26:42Well, I'm sorry for your experience, ma'am,
26:45but you have the proper information now.
26:52Yes?
26:54My wife's a sergeant.
26:55We just moved here from Fort Hope,
26:57and our basic housing allowance was deducted twice from her first pay period.
27:03Clearly, that's a mistake.
27:05I know it's a mistake.
27:06What are you going to do about it?
27:08Well, that would be an issue for the finance office.
27:10I talked to the finance office.
27:13They said it's Fort Hope's problem.
27:15Then I would talk to the office at Fort Hope.
27:17Listen, Colonel, I did not come here to get the runaround.
27:20I want to know how you're going to fix this.
27:26Ralph, finance is your area.
27:28Would you like to respond to the gentleman?
27:33Sit down right there, would you?
27:35Oh, sir.
27:37All right.
27:38Time to call me.
27:40Sit back.
27:50Hey.
27:51Hi.
27:53You've seen what's going on outside?
27:55The preparations for tomorrow's ceremony?
27:58Yeah.
27:59Audrey told me it was going to be a big production, but I had no idea.
28:03Well, it's General Clark's call.
28:06I was talking to the setup crew.
28:08Have you heard about the drill team and marching band?
28:12Yep.
28:13They both happen to be from local high schools.
28:15I think it's a good thing.
28:18It's over the top, Michael.
28:20I think somebody's been spending a little too much time with Audrey Whitaker.
28:24She just wants to open my eyes.
28:26Yours, too.
28:28Claudia Joy, I'm starting to get tired of all the negativity aimed at the Clarks.
28:34You need to let it go.
28:36I mean it.
28:41Coming.
28:46Proxy, come in.
28:49Thanks.
28:52Listen, I think I need to apologize for yesterday.
28:57No, it's okay.
28:58No, it's not.
29:01I got mad and I got mad and anyway, I'm sorry.
29:06Well, I could have handled it better, too.
29:09Not really when the message is get yourself a new wardrobe.
29:17It's about the FRG, Roxy.
29:19I wasn't criticizing.
29:21Yeah, I know.
29:23I get that now.
29:27So, you still want to be an FRG leader?
29:31I do.
29:32Yes.
29:34Only.
29:37Only what?
29:38I'm not sure exactly how to go about it.
29:41I don't know how to dress any differently.
29:48Ah-ha.
29:49Well, you know what they say, when the going gets tough, the tough goes shopping.
29:56Come on.
29:58Stop me on the corner.
30:00Swear you hit me like a vision.
30:04I, I, I wasn't expecting.
30:07But who am I to tell Faye where it's supposed to go with it?
30:12Don't you blink, you might miss it.
30:15See, we got a right to just love it or leave it.
30:19You find it and keep it.
30:20Because it ain't every day you get the chance.
30:48Swear you hit me like a vision.
30:51I, I, I wasn't expecting.
30:55But who am I to tell Faye where it's supposed to go?
31:00Oh, this is how it starts.
31:03This is how it starts.
31:04Lightning drives the heart.
31:06Lightning drives the heart.
31:07It goes out like a gun.
31:10Ooh, running in the sun.
31:12Oh, we could be the stars.
31:16Falling from the sky.
31:18Falling from the sky.
31:19Shining how we want.
31:22Brighter than the sun.
31:24Oh, this is how it starts.
31:27Oh, this is how it starts.
31:28Lightning drives the heart.
31:30Lightning drives the heart.
31:31It goes out like a gun.
31:34Brighter than the sun.
31:36Oh, we could be the stars.
31:40Falling from the sky.
31:43Shining how we want.
31:45Shining how we want.
31:46Brighter than the sun.
31:47Wow.
31:49Hmm.
31:51I have a feeling you'll want to be sitting down when I tell you the latest.
31:55Oh, Audrey, stop.
31:57I know you're only trying to help.
31:59Michael thinks I'm obsessing over the Clarks.
32:02He wants me to stop talking about them.
32:05I see.
32:07It's not my decision.
32:08No, I understand, and I'm happy to comply, but let me ask you this.
32:14Was Michael planning to retire before the core position opened up?
32:21Who told you that?
32:23So it's true?
32:27Well, yes, but, uh, I didn't tell anyone except Denise.
32:36And we all know who Denise is talking to these days.
32:40Yes, but she would never.
32:42But she did.
32:44I heard it from someone who heard it from someone else who's a friend of Jackie Clark.
32:50Do you have any idea how damaging this can be to Michael?
32:54It makes it appear he's not a team player, that he's just in it for himself.
33:00You have to stop her, Claudia Joy.
33:03How?
33:04Play the Kosovo card.
33:06Kevin Clark's indiscretion with his army driver.
33:10Let the right people know that Jackie moved out of the house because he betrayed her.
33:17Oh, I don't know, Audrey.
33:20If she's trying to blacken your husband's reputation, you have to show her that you could play that game, too.
33:28It's time to fight fire with fire.
33:37Claudia Joy.
33:38Hi, can I come in?
33:40Sure.
33:44Can I get you anything?
33:45When I told you Michael was going to retire, I made it clear that was in the strictest confidence, didn't
33:51I?
33:52Yes.
33:53So why did you tell Jackie Clark?
33:54I didn't.
33:55Well, she knows Denise, and it sure as hell didn't come from me.
34:01Actually, I might have let it slip.
34:03How could you?
34:04No, it was unintentional.
34:05We were celebrating Jackie's move here, having some wine,
34:07and I just blurted out how happy I was that you were staying, too.
34:11And I went into more detail than I should have.
34:14Well, now she's spreading it around, hoping to poison Michael's chance at getting a third star.
34:19I don't believe that.
34:20Denise, come on.
34:21How else would it have gotten back to me?
34:25I'm so sorry.
34:26Claudia Joy, you know that I would never do anything to hurt you or Michael.
34:29I do know that.
34:30I do.
34:31But I think your friend has other ideas.
34:34I just can't believe that Jackie would do anything like that intentionally.
34:38Look, do you want me to talk to her?
34:39No.
34:40No, I'll talk to her.
34:45Hey, Dr. B, what's up?
34:48David's permission slip.
34:49He forgot it yesterday.
34:51Roger that.
34:53Welcome.
34:57Yes?
35:01Joan said the town hall didn't go very well.
35:04Your wife has a gift for understatement.
35:08It was a disaster.
35:10That bad?
35:11I didn't even ask a question that's how bad it was.
35:15I don't kick a girl when she's down.
35:17Appreciate that.
35:21Although, she does bring some of it on herself.
35:26Come on.
35:27Let's hear it.
35:29Yeah?
35:29Yeah.
35:30She comes off as typical military.
35:33Stiff, unapproachable.
35:35Lord, why wasn't this a virtual town hall?
35:39You know, conducted by computer chat.
35:42Families don't have time for this, especially folks who've barely unpacked.
35:47Okay.
35:48Colonel Burton may have the military part of her job down, but when it comes to the family part,
35:53she don't know Jack.
35:56Tell her a hundred things she's doing wrong.
36:00Why don't you?
36:03No, no, no.
36:05I'm serious.
36:07Right.
36:07Like, she'd listen to me.
36:09Look, you never know.
36:10She may be willing to take the advice if it were presented in the proper way.
36:16Respectfully.
36:17With a minimum of attitude.
36:21Tell you what.
36:23You get Colonel Burton to come here and ask for help, respectfully, with a minimum of attitude,
36:32and I'd be happy to do it.
36:35Deal.
36:50What do you enjoy?
36:53You need to stop spreading rumors about my husband.
36:55I know for a fact you've been telling people that Michael was planning to retire before the core position opened
37:01up.
37:02I mentioned it to a friend in Washington, yes.
37:06Why?
37:06Was it supposed to be a secret?
37:08Oh, don't play dumb with me, Jackie.
37:10It doesn't suit you.
37:11You know what effect a rumor like that can have on Michael's shot at a third star.
37:16Hold on.
37:16I didn't even know that Michael wanted a third star.
37:19Right.
37:19You had no idea our husbands are competing for permanent command of the core.
37:24Honestly, no.
37:26From what Denise told me, I thought Michael took this assignment out of loyalty, not ambition.
37:30I know a few things about playing games, too, Jackie.
37:35You want a sling mud?
37:36I'm ready.
37:38Is that what you think I'm doing?
37:40You're really going to stand there and deny it?
37:42I don't need to play games to help Kevin's career.
37:45I'm happy to let his record speak for itself.
37:49Frankly, I'm surprised you think Michael's even in the hunt.
37:52And why is that?
37:53Well, let's see.
37:54His helicopter shot down in Afghanistan because he continues a mission with inadequate escort.
38:00He's quoted in the New York Times disparaging White House policy.
38:04And back home, he's pulled over for DUI.
38:07And then the police video goes viral.
38:08Am I forgetting anything?
38:09Those are half-truths and distortions.
38:12You know it.
38:12And you know that perception is reality in the Army.
38:18Honestly, I don't know how your husband survived this long.
38:22What about your husband?
38:25What about him?
38:28You need to stop.
38:32Just stop.
38:42Okay, ladies, settle down.
38:45Who brought the cookies?
38:46I'm allergic to peanuts.
38:48Hey, you at the snack table.
38:50Zip it.
38:51Gina, eyes up.
38:53Cell phone down.
38:55Who are you?
38:58My name is Roxy LeBlanc, and I am your new FRG leader.
39:03Now, listen up.
39:05At these meetings, you check your whining at the door.
39:08When I ask for volunteers, you volunteer.
39:12When we need to work, we work.
39:14This is about supporting our soldiers and our families.
39:18Any problems with that, there's the door.
39:21Are we clear?
39:27Sit down, Mary Ann.
39:34Okay, let's get started.
39:40Good job.
39:43Your mom and dad are going to love this.
39:46It's beautiful.
39:52Colonel Burton, I'm impressed.
39:56Why is that?
39:58Well, it takes a big person to admit they need help.
40:02And I have tons of ideas about how we can change that whole stiff, yes-ma'am, no-ma'am
40:09vibe
40:09into something more inviting.
40:11I'm not talking a personality transplant.
40:13I just...
40:17And you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?
40:21No.
40:22Dr. Burton didn't talk to you?
40:25Been in meetings all day.
40:28Uh-huh.
40:31So, why are you here?
40:35To give you this?
40:37He came to personally deliver another chit?
40:40It's your equipment allotment check.
40:43I know it's long overdue, and I wanted to apologize for the delay.
40:48Right.
40:50Thanks.
40:58So, Roland said I was stiff?
41:02Uh, no, ma'am.
41:05That would be me.
41:07But he thinks I could use some lessons in loosening up.
41:10Not exactly.
41:12We were talking about the town hall.
41:14He mentioned you were discouraged.
41:16I said I had some ideas.
41:18That's it.
41:25What kind of ideas are we talking about?
41:32Claudia Joy.
41:35I just met the last hour with Jackie.
41:37She feels terrible about what happened.
41:39Yes, she should.
41:40It's all such a misunderstanding.
41:42What?
41:44Well, this is all my fault, not hers.
41:47Denise, I can forgive your slip I have, but don't expect me to believe that Jackie is innocent in all
41:53this.
41:53She didn't understand the situation.
41:55Now that she does, she's sorry.
41:57Sorry?
41:57Yeah.
41:59She has been out to undermine me and Michael since the minute she set foot here.
42:04That's so untrue.
42:05I can't believe you'd say that.
42:07And I can't believe you don't see how you're being played.
42:11I'm not being played.
42:12You're being paranoid.
42:13You don't even know her.
42:15Really?
42:16Yeah.
42:16What do you know about Kosovo?
42:18Kosovo?
42:19Kevin and his female driver, Jackie moving out of the house for...
42:26She would have told me if she had left Kevin.
42:28She didn't tell you because she doesn't want to ruin her perfect little image.
42:32What's happened to you?
42:34I don't even know you anymore.
42:54Still working on that new website?
42:56Yep.
42:58Charlie really had a big influence on you, huh?
43:01We did this together.
43:03Thank you very much.
43:04Let me see.
43:09Colonel Joan wants to know?
43:12Isn't it great?
43:16Colonel Joan?
43:18Well, I think it projects a new persona from my office.
43:22Friendly, approachable.
43:24Wow.
43:25You don't like it?
43:26No.
43:27No, I love it.
43:29I just can't believe you like it.
43:34Well, I'll admit it took me a while to get what Charlie was saying, but once I did, I took
43:41the ball and ran with it.
43:42You certainly did.
43:44That's fantastic.
43:46Oh, and love, Roland.
43:47I already have over 200 followers.
43:53I was able to answer a dozen questions in the last 10 minutes.
43:59Congratulations, babe.
44:05Does Colonel Joan know what her husband wants right now?
44:11Colonel Joan knows, but does not have the time.
44:16Then Dr. Burton has a complaint.
44:20Okay, well, then Dr. Burton can put it on the website.
44:27Actually, don't.
44:29Stanley Friendly.
44:40Looking good, babe.
44:43Thanks.
44:45Hard to believe it's really you.
44:49What is that supposed to mean?
44:51Nothing.
44:53It was a compliment.
44:55You didn't like the way I looked before?
44:57All I meant was I'm just, you know, not used to seeing you this way.
45:05Can I take the boot out of my mouth now?
45:12Well, it's still the same me underneath.
45:17You want to see?
45:18Ah, yes, please.
45:22I wish I could stay for the ceremony, not for the spectacle, for the moral support.
45:28Oh, I could use it.
45:30I'm sorry about Denise.
45:33But there are always casualties of wartime, and she'll be fine once she sees the light.
45:39Yeah, maybe.
45:42Are you all right?
45:44Yes.
45:45I, uh...
45:46Oh, just a headache.
45:48All the stress.
45:50Remember, I'm just a phone call away.
45:55Play the Kosovo call.
45:57Oh, that's black now, Audrey.
45:59It's survival.
46:02Believe me, if the roles were reversed, Jackie wouldn't hesitate to use it against you.
46:07How can you be so sure?
46:10That's for another conversation.
46:14Audrey?
46:15Bye, dear.
46:17Bye.
46:19Bye.
47:03Colonel Joan.
47:06Sir.
47:07Sir.
47:09I'm hearing good things about the new website.
47:12Well done.
47:14Thank you, sir.
47:16Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated.
47:19Our ceremony is about to begin.
47:23Better get moving.
47:24I'll be right there.
47:30Roxy.
47:32Thank you, ma'am.
47:33I'd like you to meet my husband, Lieutenant Trevor LeBlanc.
47:37Ma'am.
47:37Pleasure, Lieutenant.
47:39I hear you had a successful first meeting.
47:42I think it went pretty well.
47:45I think it went a lot better than that.
47:45Well, I hear it went a lot better than that.
47:47Welcome aboard.
47:49We're looking forward to great things from your wife.
47:52Thank you, ma'am.
47:56I thought you said she was mean.
47:58She's learning.
48:00Mm-hmm.
48:07You're awfully quiet.
48:10Thank you, ma'am.
48:11Oh, um.
48:20There's Councilman here.
48:21We should say hello.
48:25Hello.
48:33Ladies and gentlemen, we are privileged today to encase the colors of the 32nd Airborne,
48:44the Liberty Division, here in our new home, a Ford Marshall.
48:50My wife, Jackie, and I have been overwhelmed by the greeting we have received, and we are
48:59honored to become part of this historic community.
49:04Together, I know we can build a bright future for Fort Marshall and for the city of Charleston.
49:16And now, our flag.
49:28Encase the colors!
