1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,783
(gentle music)

2
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:11,200
- My name is Captain Claudia Macon.

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,663
I'm assigned to COMNAVRESFOR.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,870
Here at COMNAVRESFOR,

5
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:18,810
I've been asked to come in on active duty

6
00:00:18,810 --> 00:00:20,190
to head up a project,

7
00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:23,860
basically transforming all of
the HR systems in the Navy,

8
00:00:23,860 --> 00:00:26,483
not just for Reserves, but
for active duty as well.

9
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:31,070
The Navy, and the Reserves especially,

10
00:00:31,070 --> 00:00:33,390
has afforded me a lot of flexibility.

11
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:37,780
About 11 years ago, I started the business

12
00:00:37,780 --> 00:00:39,130
that I'm currently running.

13
00:00:39,130 --> 00:00:41,787
It's a private preschool franchise.

14
00:00:41,787 --> 00:00:43,726
- [Lady] Ethan Sam Brown.

15
00:00:43,726 --> 00:00:47,420
(children cheering)

16
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:48,270
So you might be saying, well,

17
00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:50,930
how are you here and you
have these businesses.

18
00:00:50,930 --> 00:00:52,290
I do have a partner.

19
00:00:52,290 --> 00:00:55,070
So prior to coming on these
set of orders a year ago,

20
00:00:55,070 --> 00:00:57,370
I was at the school.

21
00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:01,243
So we do breakfast, lunch,
snacks, and (indistinct).

22
00:01:02,171 --> 00:01:03,740
Just going in and out of classrooms,

23
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:04,880
being at the front desk,

24
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,800
building those relationships
with the parents,

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,650
and just knowing every kid.

26
00:01:08,650 --> 00:01:11,740
Our goal is to know every student's name

27
00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:12,993
and every parents name.

28
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:17,980
- Hello, my name is Torsten Nonnenmacher,

29
00:01:17,980 --> 00:01:20,160
I'm Claudia Macon's husband.

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,795
Between Navy, Primrose, the kids, me,

31
00:01:24,795 --> 00:01:27,090
she's extremely busy, I
don't she how she does it,

32
00:01:27,090 --> 00:01:28,163
it's just crazy.

33
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:31,540
- I try to get out of here in time

34
00:01:31,540 --> 00:01:34,844
to get to the kids' activities.

35
00:01:34,844 --> 00:01:37,130
One of them does softball.

36
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:40,050
It's our rule in the house
says you have to have one

37
00:01:40,050 --> 00:01:42,950
kind of sport or something
that you're doing

38
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:44,300
that's physical, right?

39
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:46,403
That is conditioning, whatever.

40
00:01:47,980 --> 00:01:48,950
Forgot the whole idea,

41
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:53,723
we have a dog, two cats, two
birds, oh, and a hermit crab.

42
00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:57,420
All of the leadership skills,

43
00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:00,150
I really feel like they've
come out of my service

44
00:02:00,150 --> 00:02:00,983
in the Navy.

45
00:02:00,983 --> 00:02:04,310
It has been a personal
and professional journey

46
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:05,703
of growth and development.

47
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:09,080
Never would I have thought I'd be 28 years

48
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,630
serving in the Navy.

49
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:12,380
But thank God that's what happened.

50
00:02:14,393 --> 00:02:17,543
I just don't wanna laugh,
'cause I'm always smiling.

51
00:02:18,846 --> 00:02:21,429
