I think pairing would have just been short term, but it would not have provided greater comfort in knowing that there is somebody who is going to be there for the longer term. Hybrid provides some assurance that you can be there if you want, or you can find other means.
I feel that it would have made the situation for our family much more amenable.
I'm sorry. I need a moment.
I will just say this. I think the flexibility of hybrid will help those who serve be healthier, both physically and mentally. It will help all of us do the job that we love.
Thank you.
