00:04.940 --> 00:07.051
even at nighttime , many personnel on

00:07.051 --> 00:09.430
Kandahar airfield are out and about and

00:09.430 --> 00:11.097
with so many walking to their

00:11.097 --> 00:13.220
destination , a personal safety is a

00:13.220 --> 00:15.550
constant concern . As Command Sergeant

00:15.550 --> 00:17.661
Major Larry May points out what we're

00:17.661 --> 00:19.828
trying to do tonight is enforced . The

00:19.828 --> 00:22.040
safety belt rule , which is uh , where

00:22.040 --> 00:24.240
your safety belt in hours of limited

00:24.240 --> 00:26.240
visibility . We do this on a pretty

00:26.240 --> 00:28.700
regular basis , we call it operation

00:28.700 --> 00:31.930
void and it's actually been named for a

00:31.940 --> 00:34.980
soldier named demetrius Voice who was

00:34.990 --> 00:37.640
hit by a vehicle here on Kandahar and

00:37.640 --> 00:40.420
was killed and it's just , it's just

00:40.420 --> 00:42.531
our opportunity to get out and inform

00:42.531 --> 00:44.810
soldiers and enforce the standard and

00:44.810 --> 00:46.977
trying to avoid that . Again , to lose

00:46.977 --> 00:48.921
a person over an accident that can

00:48.921 --> 00:52.340
easily be prevented by a safety belt or

00:52.350 --> 00:55.240
just awareness of the vehicle traffic ,

00:55.240 --> 00:58.030
how traffic runs . It's a shame if we

00:58.030 --> 01:00.086
don't do this when you're out on the

01:00.086 --> 01:01.752
roads , there's not very good

01:01.752 --> 01:03.808
visibility , especially with all the

01:03.808 --> 01:05.697
dust kicking up from the vehicles

01:05.697 --> 01:07.752
driving by and I know vehicles don't

01:07.752 --> 01:09.974
like to stop around here to pedestrians

01:09.974 --> 01:12.086
walking so the more that they can see

01:12.086 --> 01:14.197
you walk , the better it is for you .

01:14.197 --> 01:13.450
You need to wear your protective

01:13.450 --> 01:15.506
equipment that they put it out there

01:15.506 --> 01:17.672
for you to wear it for a reason , it's

01:17.672 --> 01:19.617
just for your safety and safety is

01:19.617 --> 01:21.940
everyone's responsibility . Just look

01:21.940 --> 01:23.996
out for each other and let's all get

01:23.996 --> 01:25.829
home safe . Marine corporal Nate
