• CO CDR Tom Chandler : Gator said the wind was coming. It's gotta come, right?

  CMC Jeter : I'm guessing the Navy told you about my car accident.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : Yeah. Yeah. They did

  CMC Jeter : Well, there's something they don't even know about. It was my fault. Tried to pass a car on a curve. Didn't see the oncoming truck. I killed my wife and my girls. I was in the ICU for 82 days. Seven times I coded, seven times they brought me back. In between, I had plenty of time to think and to wonder why did God leave me here? Why did He spare me? There must be a purpose, some reason. Well, that's what I told myself. That's how I woke up every day and put one foot in front of the other. It was faith that got me through. But these past weeks, that faith has been replaced with certainty. I am here for a reason, as are you, as is everyone aboard this ship. You are here to lead us, and we are here to follow, to execute your vision.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : I don't have a vision.

  CMC Jeter : You do. When you stuck your hand in that engine fuse, and you turned us away from home, when you got us out of Gitmo, there's a... a voice inside you. Maybe it's your highest self, maybe it's the voice of God. I don't know, but... it's a voice of... hope. You've listened to it so far. All you have to do is keep listening. Our journey does not end here.
