WEBVTT

00:04.910 --> 00:08.040
uh Augusta Georgia and Pensacola

00:08.040 --> 00:08.970
florida .

00:12.710 --> 00:16.420
Yes , sir . Well

00:16.580 --> 00:20.260
it's a , so can I ,

00:20.740 --> 00:22.573
I guess I'm kind of speechless ,

00:22.573 --> 00:24.684
something I thought about . I've been

00:24.684 --> 00:26.740
in the army , you know , a long time

00:26.740 --> 00:28.740
and uh trained and trained and help

00:28.740 --> 00:31.730
soldiers get ready . And uh , so to be

00:31.730 --> 00:34.450
at this point , it's kind of like uh

00:34.460 --> 00:36.750
it's almost like I know I'm gonna be

00:36.750 --> 00:39.028
doing the same job just somewhere else .

00:39.028 --> 00:42.410
Uh , I feel that way and I'm not really

00:42.410 --> 00:44.632
worried because I know that I'm part of

00:44.632 --> 00:47.770
the team . That is just amazing . Since

00:47.770 --> 00:50.450
the day I got to Fort Hood and became

00:50.450 --> 00:52.672
part of the first cavalry division . It

00:52.672 --> 00:55.090
was like a dream come true because I

00:55.090 --> 00:57.990
had um , you know , I was born at an

00:57.990 --> 01:00.820
army old army post at Fort Bliss . And

01:00.830 --> 01:03.480
uh the army has been around me all my

01:03.480 --> 01:06.170
life . So to be a part of a team with

01:06.170 --> 01:08.281
such a history and then to be able to

01:08.281 --> 01:10.503
go and kind of make history with them ,

01:10.503 --> 01:13.340
uh that kind of has me in awe and I'm

01:13.340 --> 01:15.118
really looking forward to doing

01:15.118 --> 01:17.450
everything I can to help everything to

01:17.450 --> 01:18.660
your success .

01:22.240 --> 01:31.890
No ,

01:31.900 --> 01:34.450
not at all . I've been to Bosnia

01:34.450 --> 01:37.140
several times in Kosovo . I was in law

01:37.140 --> 01:39.760
enforcement for six years and have all

01:39.760 --> 01:42.240
sorts of random possibilities . They're

01:42.240 --> 01:45.030
out there waiting for me . And uh ,

01:45.040 --> 01:47.096
unfortunately I always had people to

01:47.096 --> 01:49.580
help me get ready and be trained and be

01:49.580 --> 01:51.636
ready . Uh the only thing I would be

01:51.636 --> 01:53.960
really worried about are concerned is

01:53.970 --> 01:56.650
to just know that my family realizes

01:56.650 --> 01:58.910
that and my family knows that I am

01:58.910 --> 02:00.910
being trained by the best that I've

02:00.910 --> 02:03.300
been trained and it continues and that

02:03.300 --> 02:05.560
I'm not out there all by myself and I

02:05.560 --> 02:09.400
never will be and uh that I just want

02:09.400 --> 02:13.060
them to know that , that if that's

02:13.070 --> 02:15.181
that , you know , they know I've been

02:15.181 --> 02:17.770
in other places before , we didn't like

02:17.770 --> 02:21.710
it . I came home and

02:21.720 --> 02:23.840
it was all good and well , the one

02:23.840 --> 02:27.300
thing that I think help us get through

02:27.300 --> 02:30.300
those times , myself and my kids is the

02:30.300 --> 02:32.300
fact that we stayed in contact with

02:32.300 --> 02:34.356
each other anyway . We could when it

02:34.356 --> 02:36.411
was over the phone or email whenever

02:36.411 --> 02:38.411
that was possible . And I'll do the

02:38.411 --> 02:40.411
same thing this time . So my family

02:40.411 --> 02:42.633
will know where I am . I don't know how

02:42.633 --> 02:44.633
I'm doing and I'll know how they're

02:44.633 --> 02:47.650
doing to um , You

02:47.660 --> 02:50.380
know , I think , no , I don't think so ,

02:50.380 --> 02:54.290
sir . That's pretty much it any other

02:55.610 --> 02:55.670
way
