00:06.640 --> 00:08.973
to be a member of the Joint Color Guard ,

00:08.973 --> 00:12.460
unique poise control and focus . People

00:12.460 --> 00:14.460
do Color guard different ways , you

00:14.460 --> 00:16.627
know us . Maybe we do it our way , you

00:16.627 --> 00:18.849
know , the marines Air Force , they got

00:18.849 --> 00:21.400
their own way basically . The main main

00:21.400 --> 00:23.678
main goal is the same thing . You know ,

00:23.678 --> 00:25.900
to make sure that the footwork footwork

00:25.900 --> 00:28.178
is probably the hardest thing about it .

00:28.178 --> 00:30.400
This four man Joint Service Color Guard

00:30.400 --> 00:32.456
trains to carry the U . S . And unit

00:32.456 --> 00:34.622
flag . When that ceremony starts , all

00:34.622 --> 00:36.400
eyes are on us . It's all about

00:36.400 --> 00:38.622
professionalism . These volunteers have

00:38.622 --> 00:38.520
different levels of experience . I

00:38.530 --> 00:40.697
haven't really done marching like this

00:40.697 --> 00:42.752
since basic training especially with

00:42.752 --> 00:44.974
the rifle , but it's coming back pretty

00:44.974 --> 00:47.141
pretty quickly . But they all have one

00:47.141 --> 00:49.380
thing in common the desire to carry the

00:49.380 --> 00:52.830
colors . It's definitely an honor to be

00:52.840 --> 00:55.030
asked to be a part of it . I mean it's

00:55.030 --> 00:57.460
an honor and you know , I'm gonna do my

00:57.460 --> 00:59.627
best to make sure everything's squared

00:59.627 --> 01:01.849
away . Everything looks good , You know

01:01.849 --> 01:04.330
what I mean ? We are in a war zone . So

01:04.460 --> 01:06.980
I mean it's a big deal . Joint honor

01:06.980 --> 01:08.647
guards are typically used for

01:08.647 --> 01:10.730
ceremonial support for this team .

01:10.740 --> 01:12.851
