00:05.140 --> 00:08.770
I'm a chaplain's assistant by mos on a

00:08.770 --> 00:11.710
regular basis . I'm doing admin work

00:11.710 --> 00:13.750
for the chaplain or going out and

00:13.750 --> 00:16.170
visiting soldiers with him . My first

00:16.170 --> 00:18.392
sergeant asked me if anyone knew how to

00:18.392 --> 00:20.448
paint and I raised my hand and since

00:20.448 --> 00:22.392
then I've been painting on and off

00:22.392 --> 00:24.760
since we've been here um painting a

00:24.770 --> 00:27.560
combined task force arrowhead crest on

00:27.560 --> 00:30.280
the brigade seawall . And I'm gonna

00:30.280 --> 00:32.510
start off by outlining it with the

00:32.510 --> 00:34.560
white and the black , and then I'll

00:34.940 --> 00:38.500
start throwing in the flags and you

00:38.500 --> 00:40.389
gotta wait for the paint to drive

00:40.389 --> 00:42.556
before you can do some lawyers on it .

00:42.556 --> 00:44.667
So uh it's probably take me about two

00:44.667 --> 00:46.444
days a couple hours each day to

00:46.444 --> 00:48.580
complete it . I did about 33 more T

00:48.580 --> 00:52.070
walls back where my unit is . They flew

00:52.070 --> 00:54.080
me out here to Masum Ghar to paint

00:54.080 --> 00:56.191
these T walls for brigade . I painted

00:56.191 --> 00:59.170
some t walls for our battalion 296 and

00:59.170 --> 01:01.448
I also painted the walls of my company .

01:01.448 --> 01:03.559
I'm working on painting some more tea

01:03.559 --> 01:05.670
walls in the motor pool and for Alpha

01:05.670 --> 01:08.780
Company . I really love painting . You

01:08.780 --> 01:10.891
know , you never think that coming to

01:10.891 --> 01:13.113
Afghanistan , you're gonna do something

01:13.113 --> 01:15.224
that you love . It's a good hobby and

01:15.224 --> 01:15.360
I'm glad it's followed me everywhere .
