some really interesting work i was in cajun celestin in the sense of purpose that i was working on in my own the way these major issues of the day affecting our national security. i had a great team, there was camaraderie. they cared about me. i learned from the and had a first great boss was my first great mentor. after that one thing led to the next led to the next, that became this what i think has been a fantastic and she actually the fully career for me all focus on military. capitol hill, the pentagon, the business will, supporting, defense. before you in on 35 years have gone by and i get to be the second woman ever to lead the military service. >> amazing. >> all of this i want to remind you started with a big failure and a plan and that turned into plan b. so the john kerry story, when i'm secretary, i'm hobnobbing with the big people and got to meet then secretary of state john kerry. it was all i could do to contain myself and not say to this man, thank you, thank you, thank you, that you rejected me 35 years ago. do you know what? life turned out pretty doggone well for me
