00:03.040 --> 00:05.890
I'm doing so I see in charge of zero

00:05.890 --> 00:08.112
gravity today , it's a great experience

00:08.112 --> 00:10.223
for all of us . Third correspondences

00:10.223 --> 00:12.279
for us after our deployment . It's a

00:12.279 --> 00:14.334
great way to relieve some stress and

00:14.334 --> 00:16.501
the soldiers are really enjoying it as

00:16.501 --> 00:18.612
well as myself , I might be in charge

00:18.612 --> 00:20.834
but I get a chance to bungee jump . Sky

00:20.834 --> 00:23.050
coaster is all great and I love it and

00:23.050 --> 00:25.272
I think this really goes out to all the

00:25.272 --> 00:27.383
units throughout the army , we should

00:27.383 --> 00:29.383
participate in this more often unit

00:29.383 --> 00:31.606
cohesion , This is where it's at . With

00:31.606 --> 00:33.439
this experience , it has brought

00:33.439 --> 00:35.606
different sections who had a chance to

00:35.606 --> 00:37.550
um really interact with each other

00:37.550 --> 00:39.550
while deployed and today I think we

00:39.550 --> 00:41.717
made a few friends , some , you know ,

00:41.717 --> 00:41.620
some connections and other sections ,

00:41.630 --> 00:43.686
we might see each other in passing ,

00:43.686 --> 00:45.686
but right now we actually know each

00:45.686 --> 00:48.019
other with the bus ride up and out here ,

00:48.019 --> 00:50.297
going over each other fears , you know ,

00:50.297 --> 00:52.408
understand each other fears and going

00:52.408 --> 00:54.630
through with it and I really think this

00:54.630 --> 00:56.741
right here is great for unit cohesion

00:56.741 --> 00:58.963
is very good for the cohesion , but the

00:58.963 --> 01:01.019
sky coaster , the bungee jump um the

01:01.019 --> 01:03.019
sky coach is my favorite , I really

01:03.019 --> 01:04.797
like that one is really a great

01:04.797 --> 01:07.019
experience because I really have a true

01:07.019 --> 01:09.019
fear of heights . So if you want to

01:09.019 --> 01:11.074
start out small , start out with the

01:11.074 --> 01:11.000
sky coaster and it really helps you

01:11.000 --> 01:13.056
overcome your fears and the way this

01:13.056 --> 01:15.222
helps us relieve the stress , it takes

01:15.222 --> 01:17.444
us back to the intensity level just for

01:17.444 --> 01:19.611
a brief moment , but we're here in our

01:19.611 --> 01:22.090
home , back to reality basically . So

01:22.090 --> 01:24.090
when we come off that high from the

01:24.090 --> 01:26.201
fall from the sky coast or the bungee

01:26.201 --> 01:28.423
jump , you know , you can kind of relax

01:28.423 --> 01:30.534
like everything is going to be okay ,

01:30.534 --> 01:32.701
your life is not in danger anymore . I

01:32.701 --> 01:35.230
think just the whole program itself is

01:35.230 --> 01:37.590
very rewarding for soldiers because you

01:37.590 --> 01:40.450
deal with a lot of stress on deployment .

01:40.460 --> 01:42.510
Um and when you're faced with

01:42.510 --> 01:46.470
situations where um they may not be as

01:46.480 --> 01:48.980
pleasant as you would like for them to

01:48.990 --> 01:51.190
be be in danger and that adrenaline

01:51.190 --> 01:52.912
goes and we call that negative

01:52.912 --> 01:54.710
adrenaline , but this here is a

01:54.720 --> 01:57.050
definite positive adrenaline , it gets

01:57.050 --> 02:00.570
you and it gets you moving and it's

02:00.570 --> 02:02.459
very productive just something to

02:02.459 --> 02:04.237
release stress and tension from

02:04.237 --> 02:06.680
soldiers that have been away from home

02:06.680 --> 02:09.040
and from families , This is a definite

02:09.050 --> 02:12.450
positive thrill seeking event . All ,

02:12.460 --> 02:16.420
every single event is packed with speed

02:16.420 --> 02:19.090
motion , things that young soldiers

02:19.100 --> 02:22.400
crave and this is just , it's just a

02:22.410 --> 02:25.570
very positive experience for everyone .

02:25.580 --> 02:28.050
You have different sections within the

02:28.050 --> 02:30.870
brigade staff here and we're , I mean

02:30.880 --> 02:33.450
we may not communicate on a daily basis ,

02:33.460 --> 02:35.627
but here we are communicating , we are

02:35.627 --> 02:38.150
talking with one another and we are

02:38.150 --> 02:41.820
just doing that team building type of

02:41.820 --> 02:44.830
event , your pushing , encouraging each

02:44.840 --> 02:48.390
other to , to seek that roller to get

02:48.400 --> 02:50.860
that energy going . So it , it is a

02:50.870 --> 02:53.350
very positive team building experience

02:53.350 --> 02:55.800
where you can talk to anyone that's on

02:55.810 --> 02:58.790
another section in this one , staff ,

02:58.800 --> 03:00.856
it was great at first of all , I was

03:00.856 --> 03:04.210
the first one to do bungee , uh did the

03:04.210 --> 03:06.840
sky coaster two times , I did the tower

03:06.840 --> 03:09.062
two times , I'm just having amazing the

03:09.062 --> 03:11.284
time , you know , to be able to be in a

03:11.284 --> 03:13.507
position to where you can really unwind

03:13.507 --> 03:13.340
with different people of the unit ,

03:13.340 --> 03:15.451
build team building skills with other

03:15.451 --> 03:17.673
sections that you don't normally get to

03:17.673 --> 03:19.673
work with on a day to day basis and

03:19.673 --> 03:21.784
just really relieve some , some built

03:21.784 --> 03:21.590
up stress . I'm having a great time and

03:21.590 --> 03:23.812
this is the time where you know , you ,

03:23.812 --> 03:25.812
you've gotten over the Russia being

03:25.812 --> 03:28.030
home now it's trying to adapt and

03:28.040 --> 03:30.096
unwind or whatever and sometimes you

03:30.096 --> 03:32.262
find yourself in position to where you

03:32.262 --> 03:34.207
attempted to do negative things or

03:34.207 --> 03:35.873
whatever , so this is a great

03:35.873 --> 03:37.929
opportunity to come and have a great

03:37.929 --> 03:37.750
time , you know , unwinding , you know ,

03:37.760 --> 03:39.760
relieving some of that , you know ,

03:39.760 --> 03:41.871
adrenaline rush , you know , syndrome

03:41.871 --> 03:43.982
that you have or whatever and just be

03:43.982 --> 03:46.093
able to unwind in a healthy way , you

03:46.093 --> 03:45.860
know , this is a great opportunity ,

03:45.940 --> 03:48.051
usually , you know , you go out , you

03:48.051 --> 03:50.162
do pt with your different sections or

03:50.162 --> 03:49.780
whatever , but you know this right here ,

03:49.780 --> 03:51.836
it was a pretty much free file where

03:51.836 --> 03:54.058
you can do what you wanted to do and it

03:54.058 --> 03:56.280
gave you a position to really be put in

03:56.280 --> 03:58.280
position to where you interact with

03:58.280 --> 03:57.500
people from different sections that you

03:57.500 --> 03:59.389
normally wouldn't talk to . So my

03:59.389 --> 04:01.444
favorite was definitely the bungee ,

04:01.444 --> 04:03.611
definitely the bungee because that one

04:03.611 --> 04:05.944
you control your own destiny , you know ,

04:05.944 --> 04:05.860
you have to step up to the ledge and

04:05.860 --> 04:07.916
actually force yourself to jump . It

04:07.916 --> 04:08.260
was great .
