WEBVTT

00:10.340 --> 00:11.340
Yeah ,

00:15.140 --> 00:17.251
for the Rally Times specialist Darryl

00:17.251 --> 00:19.740
Montgomery 3 19 thumb pad on the 46

00:19.740 --> 00:21.820
Quebec , which is a public affairs

00:21.820 --> 00:24.390
specialist , writer . And today we're

00:24.390 --> 00:26.501
going around Philadelphia just seeing

00:26.501 --> 00:28.723
some of the 4th of July events that are

00:28.723 --> 00:30.668
taking place , kind of unit morale

00:30.668 --> 00:32.723
building and seeing some new stuff .

00:32.723 --> 00:35.890
Booker specialist , booker cardio

00:35.890 --> 00:37.946
trainer works amazing for stuff like

00:37.946 --> 00:40.112
this because it will map you where you

00:40.112 --> 00:42.112
get . I am from . Uh , well , I was

00:42.112 --> 00:44.279
born in Spartanburg , south Carolina ,

00:44.279 --> 00:46.334
currently living in charleston south

00:46.334 --> 00:48.446
Carolina . And we are here training ,

00:48.446 --> 00:50.668
uh , kind of camera Familiarization for

00:50.668 --> 00:52.890
an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan .

00:52.890 --> 00:55.057
Just getting to know our new equipment

00:55.057 --> 00:57.223
before we get over there and get boots

00:57.223 --> 00:58.540
on ground . Yeah .

01:05.240 --> 01:07.296
All right . So , we're in a shot . I

01:07.296 --> 01:09.462
look for a good composition . So , the

01:09.462 --> 01:11.573
subject of the shot , whether it be a

01:11.573 --> 01:13.518
building person animal to lead the

01:13.518 --> 01:15.980
human eye into the , to the background

01:15.980 --> 01:19.760
kind of the action . Um , here , you

01:19.760 --> 01:22.160
know , uh , it's a good good exposure

01:22.160 --> 01:24.216
is a good thing . Today is a perfect

01:24.216 --> 01:26.382
day in my opinion . No harsh shadows ,

01:26.382 --> 01:29.390
nice even lighting . Um , so shooting

01:29.390 --> 01:31.168
without it , to my face kind of

01:31.168 --> 01:34.950
compromises the composition . But

01:34.960 --> 01:37.950
that may be a con to the probe is that

01:37.950 --> 01:39.839
you can get a good angle that you

01:39.839 --> 01:42.700
couldn't otherwise get . So , my wife

01:42.710 --> 01:44.932
doing well at home , she's she's taking

01:44.932 --> 01:47.154
in full stride , you know , but she can

01:47.340 --> 01:49.507
We've been married , three years since

01:49.507 --> 01:51.729
36 months , I think I've only been home

01:51.729 --> 01:55.170
for About 19 of those . So family life

01:55.170 --> 01:57.059
is as good as it can be given the

01:57.059 --> 01:59.226
situation . She's she's chugging right

01:59.226 --> 02:01.114
along , take it taking it in full

02:01.114 --> 02:03.226
stride . Looking forward to me coming

02:03.226 --> 02:05.059
home . I think what the previous

02:05.059 --> 02:07.003
experience , it's going to make it

02:07.003 --> 02:08.948
easier . Everybody says the second

02:08.948 --> 02:11.059
deployments easier and I believe that

02:11.059 --> 02:13.330
on the army side , I think it's a

02:13.330 --> 02:15.163
little harder on the family side

02:15.163 --> 02:17.386
because it's just more time you have to

02:17.386 --> 02:21.150
spend away . Yeah

02:21.840 --> 02:24.007
sir , I want to thank you for the best

02:24.007 --> 02:26.229
for what you're doing for our country .

02:26.229 --> 02:28.284
Thank you . Thank you . I was in the

02:28.284 --> 02:31.530
service by I appreciate it . Thank you .

02:31.530 --> 02:33.641
Support means everything that support

02:33.641 --> 02:35.808
job impossible . Thank you sir . Happy

02:35.808 --> 02:37.863
would deny for us . Thank you didn't

02:37.863 --> 02:41.830
sing right ? I

02:41.840 --> 02:43.896
don't like to talk about politics or

02:43.896 --> 02:45.896
religion obviously because that's a

02:45.896 --> 02:48.118
conflict for anybody , but if they time

02:48.118 --> 02:50.118
somebody come up to me and say they

02:50.118 --> 02:52.173
don't think we should be there . You

02:52.173 --> 02:54.284
know , I tell him I'm like well I was

02:54.284 --> 02:56.396
there in 2009 at least in the case of

02:56.396 --> 02:58.507
Iraq , I can tell you that what we're

02:58.507 --> 03:00.507
doing is good because you can see a

03:00.507 --> 03:02.507
change in that country . The people

03:02.507 --> 03:04.618
there love us . I mean they maybe not

03:04.618 --> 03:06.920
all of us , but the people of the

03:06.920 --> 03:09.600
everyday citizens of Iraq love us .

03:10.340 --> 03:15.260
So

03:15.270 --> 03:17.460
getting out in philadelphia to see

03:17.460 --> 03:19.780
their fourth of july parade was awesome

03:19.780 --> 03:22.113
experience . I've been here once before ,

03:22.113 --> 03:24.900
but not in uniform and not on the uh

03:24.910 --> 03:27.100
Independence Day . So to see the

03:27.100 --> 03:30.260
support that the locals show is amazing

03:30.440 --> 03:32.662
there , I'd like to tell them when they

03:32.662 --> 03:34.884
come up and shake my hand and say thank

03:34.884 --> 03:36.940
you for the support . I like to turn

03:36.940 --> 03:39.218
think no , because without the support ,

03:39.218 --> 03:41.273
the mission , I don't want to say is

03:41.273 --> 03:43.218
impossible , but it makes it a lot

03:43.218 --> 03:44.218
tougher . Yeah .

03:48.840 --> 03:51.470
For some soldiers , you know , going

03:51.470 --> 03:54.680
through this married , just make the

03:54.680 --> 03:56.569
best you can know that you're not

03:56.569 --> 03:58.624
always gonna be able to talk to your

03:58.624 --> 04:00.513
family members , your wife , your

04:00.513 --> 04:02.402
Children , and just reinforce the

04:02.402 --> 04:04.513
values that you try to enforce before

04:04.513 --> 04:06.780
you leave . Just just remember

04:06.780 --> 04:08.836
everything has a higher purpose than

04:08.836 --> 04:12.620
you . And it's all temporary . You

04:12.620 --> 04:14.690
know , So you go over there and it

04:14.690 --> 04:16.412
might seem like forever , it's

04:16.412 --> 04:18.634
temporary . You're gonna come back . It

04:18.634 --> 04:20.801
would be a better person for it . Your

04:20.801 --> 04:22.801
family will don't say they love you

04:22.801 --> 04:25.023
more for it , but they will respect you

04:25.023 --> 04:27.079
for more , more for what you've done

04:27.079 --> 04:29.301
for your country . Happy 4th July , God

04:29.301 --> 04:31.579
Bless You Stay Safe . It's worth doing .

04:31.579 --> 04:34.110
It's worth being there because even if

04:34.110 --> 04:36.380
we affect one person that it may

04:36.380 --> 04:37.660
ultimately affect the whole country
