00:15.290 --> 00:17.500
how things are going , where you are .

00:18.840 --> 00:20.896
All right now we're getting ready to

00:20.896 --> 00:23.229
pack up . So that's always a good thing .

00:23.229 --> 00:25.396
It's been a good 2011 . Once I believe

00:25.396 --> 00:27.562
our mission is going well , everything

00:27.562 --> 00:29.729
is being accomplishes in which we plan

00:29.729 --> 00:32.540
to explain a bit what you do on a day

00:32.540 --> 00:34.910
to day basis , what your title is and

00:34.910 --> 00:38.290
your role in the supply sergeant for

00:38.290 --> 00:40.390
HD Free H . B . C . T . Four . Thank

00:40.450 --> 00:42.920
you pretty much managed account for

00:42.930 --> 00:45.152
roughly $40 million worth of property .

00:45.500 --> 00:47.722
Make sure all the weapons are always up

00:47.722 --> 00:49.889
and running and make sure that all the

00:49.889 --> 00:51.944
vehicles are always up and running .

00:53.440 --> 00:55.870
So explain a little bit about what your

00:55.870 --> 00:57.981
mission has been conceived in there .

00:57.981 --> 01:00.203
What kind of things accomplished in the

01:00.203 --> 01:02.410
past year ago ? I know my personal

01:02.410 --> 01:04.521
mission professional mission out here

01:04.521 --> 01:07.010
so far , I've had to take care of four

01:07.010 --> 01:09.121
or five different areas where we have

01:09.121 --> 01:11.430
soldiers that are out training Iraqis ,

01:11.440 --> 01:13.607
they're called teams and while they're

01:13.607 --> 01:15.950
out training the Iraqis on taking over

01:16.000 --> 01:17.944
that , I'm providing them with the

01:17.944 --> 01:20.111
equipment , supporting them in any way

01:20.111 --> 01:22.111
I can make sure they get everything

01:22.111 --> 01:25.500
they need . Does this uh that sounds

01:25.500 --> 01:28.780
like you are managing a huge inventory

01:28.790 --> 01:31.870
of supplies . So if you were to leave

01:31.870 --> 01:34.092
the army . Does that really prepare you

01:34.092 --> 01:36.092
for the real world and some sort of

01:36.092 --> 01:38.450
similar role ? I'm sorry if you say

01:38.450 --> 01:41.930
again , what you're doing now , Does

01:41.930 --> 01:44.990
that prepare you for a civilian role to

01:45.000 --> 01:47.230
help you get a better job once you

01:47.230 --> 01:49.563
leave the army , if you were to do that ?

01:50.400 --> 01:52.622
Oh , I have to say it definitely does .

01:52.810 --> 01:54.977
I mean in the civilian world what I do

01:54.977 --> 01:57.010
and logistically , I mean managing

01:57.010 --> 01:59.600
property and the amount that I do I

01:59.610 --> 02:01.832
plan on staying in until I retired . So

02:01.832 --> 02:03.832
once I retire , I'm sure that would

02:03.832 --> 02:05.554
definitely help me because the

02:05.554 --> 02:07.777
responsibilities I have in the military

02:07.777 --> 02:09.999
are far beyond that of most civilians .

02:10.970 --> 02:12.970
So you're wrapping things up . What

02:12.970 --> 02:15.137
does that mean ? Does that mean you're

02:15.137 --> 02:14.700
coming home ? Does that mean you're

02:14.700 --> 02:16.922
moving to another base ? What does that

02:16.922 --> 02:19.010
mean ? Companies will be coming home

02:19.010 --> 02:22.400
sometime before Thanksgiving . All

02:22.400 --> 02:24.511
right , Perfect timing . What we want

02:24.511 --> 02:26.456
to give you the opportunity to say

02:26.456 --> 02:28.456
hello to any friends and family who

02:28.456 --> 02:30.770
might be interviewing area . I'd say

02:30.770 --> 02:32.992
hello to Gina and sympathy . I love you

02:32.992 --> 02:35.048
guys very much . I can't wait to see

02:35.048 --> 02:37.103
you without your guys support . This

02:37.103 --> 02:39.326
would be a lot harder than it is . So ,

02:39.326 --> 02:41.492
thank you for everything that you guys

02:41.492 --> 02:43.714
do to support me . I love you very much

02:47.730 --> 02:49.897
opening there . Are you a big hug when
