Robert F. Holden
1:11:59
Yeah.
1:11:59
But that's what I mentioned before with with when you're discharged from the service, does somebody actually sit with you?
1:12:06
And I think the answer was no.
1:12:08
It was a questionnaire that was filled out.
1:12:10
Right?
Jason Loughran
1:12:11
Yeah.
1:12:12
It's well, we have we have they have classes.
Robert F. Holden
1:12:14
I mean, isn't it reserved?
Jason Loughran
1:12:15
I'm in class.
1:12:16
Yeah.
Robert F. Holden
1:12:16
I mean, there there are special situations that you have because many of the reservists have families already, and they have to leave their families.
1:12:24
So, you know, what are some of the pressures on the reservists that that go out?
1:12:28
And you you're your exhibit a here as as going and being deployed as spur of the moment.
1:12:35
Right?
James Hendon
1:12:36
I I think that another piece of this too is we need to talk about the when you're within an active duty unit, you're with one group of folks at least at that point.
1:12:44
And so there's some sort of unity between those families when that person goes, whereas if you're God reserved, if you're God fammed the all over the state reserved all over the country.
1:12:53
And so what does that look like too?
1:12:55
So, I mean, I grew through this Alright.
Robert F. Holden
1:12:57
Thank you.
1:12:58
So I want to turn it over to the councilmen.
1:13:00
Sure.
1:13:00
One more thing, sorry.
Jason Loughran
1:13:01
Just back to Schedule C funding, if there is a way for us to also develop mechanisms for there be a greater line of communication, on what the requirements are associated with the funding they receive for reschedule c, some sort of requirement where if they're utilizing our software, they have to work with us and give us those case notes and the results of the money that city council is investing in those nonprofits.
