1
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:04,170
- My name is Reginald Green.

2
00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:09,170
I'm a E4 and I work for the 916 AMDS.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,563
I've been a barber since,
I would say, high school.

4
00:00:14,510 --> 00:00:15,570
I love barbering.

5
00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:20,570
I messed up a lot of my
family member's heads

6
00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:22,180
while doing it in high school

7
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:26,264
but after high school I went
to school for barbering,

8
00:00:26,264 --> 00:00:30,300
didn't finish, but I left
and I ended up coming back

9
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:31,960
before I joined the military

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,260
and I finished my
certification in barbering.

11
00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:39,200
But barbering always
been a passion of mine

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,910
and I love making people feel good.

13
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:44,520
I love boosting people's self-esteem.

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,060
It's really crazy to
see people come in here

15
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:49,143
and their heads are down and,

16
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:52,180
when you give 'em a haircut,
they look in that mirror,

17
00:00:52,180 --> 00:00:55,490
you can tell that you
boosted their confidence

18
00:00:55,490 --> 00:00:57,977
and you can tell by the
way they walk out the door.

19
00:00:57,977 --> 00:00:59,566
So, that's pretty cool.

20
00:00:59,566 --> 00:01:01,983
(soft music)

21
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:06,480
One of the things that I wanted to do was

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,480
to go on an incentive
flight for a live re-fueling

23
00:01:11,610 --> 00:01:13,750
and when I did my presentation,

24
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:16,390
some of the Commanders was in there

25
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:17,980
and they was like, "Is
that what you wanna do?"

26
00:01:17,980 --> 00:01:22,830
I said, "Yeah", and they
took me up the next day

27
00:01:22,830 --> 00:01:27,830
and I was able to fly
and see a live re-fueling

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,662
on a E-3 AWACS plane.

29
00:01:31,662 --> 00:01:34,450
(soft music)

30
00:01:34,450 --> 00:01:36,270
What I like most about barbering

31
00:01:36,270 --> 00:01:38,753
is being able to give back to people.

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,200
One of the things that I do is,

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,500
I give back to the homeless
community through haircuts.

34
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,420
You will be surprised
the amount of confidence

35
00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:53,180
you're able to build into people

36
00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:56,950
who do not look at a
haircut as a necessity.

37
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:59,160
You know, there's some homeless people

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,120
who do have job interviews
but they don't have the money

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,090
to be able to get a haircut.

40
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:05,890
I partner with an organization

41
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:09,601
that allowed me to come
in and give haircuts

42
00:02:09,601 --> 00:02:12,950
to the people who were
going on job interviews.

43
00:02:12,950 --> 00:02:15,200
So, that was able to
boost their confidence

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,730
whenever they walk into that job interview

45
00:02:17,730 --> 00:02:20,154
and some of those people landed jobs

46
00:02:20,154 --> 00:02:23,980
and that felt good to me.

47
00:02:23,980 --> 00:02:26,052
There's no feeling like that.

48
00:02:26,052 --> 00:02:28,469
(soft music)
