00:13.740 --> 00:14.740
Yeah .

00:18.840 --> 00:19.860
Mhm . Okay .

00:22.640 --> 00:26.640
Mhm . Yeah . Hello and welcome

00:26.640 --> 00:28.862
to this edition of Desert Warrior . I'm

00:28.862 --> 00:30.973
your host . Lieutenant Colonel Deanna

00:30.973 --> 00:33.196
bag behind me . You see candidates from

00:33.196 --> 00:35.362
first Brigade , first armored Division

00:35.362 --> 00:37.584
61 cab . We will follow them throughout

00:37.584 --> 00:37.570
their journey as they attempt to earn

00:37.580 --> 00:41.290
their spurs . A

00:41.300 --> 00:43.560
cavalry tradition . The spur right can

00:43.560 --> 00:45.227
be one of the most physically

00:45.227 --> 00:48.910
challenging events in the army but goes

00:48.910 --> 00:50.910
beyond the test . Every aspect of a

00:50.910 --> 00:53.210
soldier's readiness . Back in the day

00:53.210 --> 00:55.377
they used it as new soldiers came into

00:55.377 --> 00:57.599
the unit . They really weren't accepted

00:57.599 --> 00:59.599
into the unit into the earned their

00:59.599 --> 01:01.821
spurs . They had to prove uh , to their

01:01.821 --> 01:03.821
leaders . Today was able to perform

01:03.821 --> 01:05.932
certain tasks that was duty related .

01:05.932 --> 01:07.766
And this is what we do . We just

01:07.766 --> 01:09.877
continue that through another version

01:09.877 --> 01:11.877
that we use today using the warrior

01:11.877 --> 01:14.010
task . Beginning before sunrise , the

01:14.010 --> 01:16.177
soldiers spend two hours in a grueling

01:16.177 --> 01:18.288
pt session and then gather while spur

01:18.288 --> 01:20.343
holders enthusiastically recheck the

01:20.343 --> 01:22.170
packing of their supplies .

01:22.910 --> 01:26.580
You want to have fun . I just don't

01:26.580 --> 01:28.691
want to go overboard with the fund we

01:28.691 --> 01:30.802
have and don't lose focus of the task

01:30.802 --> 01:32.802
at hand . I really tell my soldiers

01:32.802 --> 01:36.450
stay away from the uh legacy . Hazing

01:36.450 --> 01:38.880
and abuse of that nature that would not

01:38.880 --> 01:41.102
be tolerated out here period . Uh and I

01:41.102 --> 01:44.140
try to teach my soldiers stuff that if

01:44.140 --> 01:46.307
it happened to you , not necessarily ,

01:46.307 --> 01:48.473
you need to do the same thing to other

01:48.473 --> 01:50.640
people . You learn from those mistakes

01:50.640 --> 01:52.696
that other leaders were made and you

01:52.696 --> 01:52.310
make it better . That's the army

01:52.310 --> 01:54.490
standard . Uh the army standard is to

01:54.500 --> 01:57.620
go up and grow as a unit of cohesion

01:57.630 --> 01:59.630
and it's pretty core . So it's very

01:59.630 --> 02:01.463
important not to include that in

02:01.463 --> 02:03.519
anything that we do in the army . Uh

02:03.519 --> 02:05.630
even in the civilian world , it's not

02:05.740 --> 02:07.851
necessarily the right thing to do for

02:07.851 --> 02:09.851
human beings , treat everybody with

02:09.851 --> 02:12.018
dignity and respect . That's the whole

02:12.018 --> 02:14.073
key . And all my spurred holders are

02:14.073 --> 02:16.500
tracking it . Where you going to write

02:16.950 --> 02:20.400
the check point sp the super boy . It

02:20.400 --> 02:22.400
was a little different methods . We

02:22.400 --> 02:24.456
used to gain knowledge and make sure

02:24.456 --> 02:26.678
the soldiers work as a team back in the

02:26.678 --> 02:28.940
day to use more of an individual style

02:28.940 --> 02:30.996
of checking to make sure the soldier

02:30.996 --> 02:33.051
was fit mentally and able to perform

02:33.051 --> 02:35.218
the task . I used a different approach

02:35.218 --> 02:37.560
in this unit is building a team concept

02:37.570 --> 02:39.681
as you can see all about and morale ,

02:39.681 --> 02:41.737
high morale and motivation of social

02:41.737 --> 02:45.350
teamwork is a driving

02:45.350 --> 02:47.590
force behind this unit spur right . A

02:47.590 --> 02:49.701
force that propelled the team through

02:49.701 --> 02:51.868
the challenge of the obstacle course .

02:53.240 --> 02:55.296
The soldiers have just completed the

02:55.296 --> 02:57.296
grueling challenges of the obstacle

02:57.296 --> 02:59.518
course . They are now preparing for the

02:59.518 --> 03:01.740
long night orienteering that lies ahead

03:01.740 --> 03:03.573
after the break , the Bellavista

03:03.573 --> 03:05.462
catches up with them to track the

03:05.462 --> 03:07.240
progress . There is also a very

03:07.240 --> 03:09.240
attractive extended warranty option

03:09.240 --> 03:11.462
that includes free service in parts for

03:11.462 --> 03:13.518
the next five years , but there's no

03:13.518 --> 03:15.629
need for you to get that . You failed

03:15.629 --> 03:15.530
to get the testing needed , that the

03:15.530 --> 03:17.752
doctor that would have detected disease

03:17.752 --> 03:19.863
early enough where it could have been

03:19.863 --> 03:21.974
treated so you won't be around in two

03:21.974 --> 03:24.030
years to see him grow up which means

03:24.030 --> 03:26.086
the warranty would be useless . Okay

03:26.086 --> 03:26.060
sign here please

03:31.040 --> 03:33.096
for a list of tests every man should

03:33.096 --> 03:35.110
have go to H . R . Q . Gov .

03:35.120 --> 03:39.350
The

03:39.360 --> 03:41.471
smallest moments can have the biggest

03:41.471 --> 03:45.450
impact on a child's life . Take time to

03:45.460 --> 03:47.850
be a dad today . Mhm .

03:50.440 --> 03:53.020
Welcome back . 20 hours after these

03:53.020 --> 03:55.242
candidates began their challenge . They

03:55.242 --> 03:57.409
are still going strong out here in the

03:57.409 --> 03:59.464
desert , honing their warrior skills

03:59.464 --> 04:03.230
and navigating through the night to

04:03.240 --> 04:05.790
accommodate event . It is the task at

04:05.790 --> 04:08.012
hand itself . The objective if they can

04:08.012 --> 04:10.234
accomplish reaching these objectives at

04:10.234 --> 04:12.900
night on a limited visibility with the

04:12.900 --> 04:14.956
amount of resources they're given to

04:14.956 --> 04:17.011
comfort permission . That's a team .

04:17.011 --> 04:19.067
Team has been a key . I think that's

04:19.067 --> 04:21.178
the number one thing that anybody can

04:21.178 --> 04:23.344
take away from this event . Is working

04:23.344 --> 04:25.289
together as a people from start to

04:25.289 --> 04:27.456
finish their work together as a team .

04:28.540 --> 04:31.330
I have one individual , he will not

04:31.330 --> 04:33.650
Ernest birds with us because of the

04:33.660 --> 04:36.130
whole concept is team . They all

04:36.130 --> 04:38.250
finished across the foot march line .

04:38.250 --> 04:40.306
They finished as a team , one person

04:40.306 --> 04:42.306
come across . I'm gonna say where's

04:42.306 --> 04:44.630
your buddy's gonna get ? I don't care

04:44.630 --> 04:46.574
how four years back they got three

04:46.574 --> 04:48.760
hours to meet the standard . The last

04:48.760 --> 04:50.816
person don't finish in three hours .

04:50.816 --> 04:52.982
The whole team failed me at the time .

04:53.740 --> 04:57.550
I promise mm .

04:58.240 --> 05:01.240
Yeah . Yeah . Yeah .

05:04.240 --> 05:06.450
Mhm . Yeah . Mhm .
