WEBVTT

00:05.340 --> 00:08.240
part of my job is making sure that uh ,

00:08.250 --> 00:10.361
everything around here , freedom rest

00:10.361 --> 00:12.583
is conducive to the soldiers relaxing .

00:12.583 --> 00:15.040
Having a good time . Most responsible

00:15.040 --> 00:17.151
for arranging flights out for them if

00:17.151 --> 00:19.429
they don't have transportation already .

00:19.429 --> 00:21.651
Well , my favorite part of working here

00:21.651 --> 00:23.484
is just making sure , you know ,

00:23.484 --> 00:25.429
soldiers get to relax a little bit

00:25.429 --> 00:27.707
because there's a lot of guys out here .

00:27.707 --> 00:29.873
There are cops . You know , they sleep

00:29.873 --> 00:29.180
on a cot every night , they're eating M .

00:29.180 --> 00:31.390
R . E . S coming . Coming here , they

00:31.390 --> 00:33.501
get a chance to take a shower or wash

00:33.501 --> 00:35.980
clothes , just sleep . That's a big

00:35.990 --> 00:39.750
thing . Just

00:39.760 --> 00:43.120
helping helping the troops out . Well ,

00:43.120 --> 00:46.650
we've got the big splash contests . Uh ,

00:46.840 --> 00:50.320
two jumps off the uh one m or two off

00:50.320 --> 00:54.060
the 52 off of 10 . Uh , We also have

00:54.060 --> 00:56.780
water balloon fight on day one , which

00:56.780 --> 00:59.740
I usually stay out of . We do have some

00:59.740 --> 01:01.740
order volleyball . Uh , most of the

01:01.740 --> 01:03.796
basketball goes on at the basketball

01:03.796 --> 01:05.907
court . But you know , sometimes they

01:05.907 --> 01:07.907
arrange their own events , which is

01:07.907 --> 01:10.018
great . Uh take an initiative to have

01:10.018 --> 01:12.129
some fun for themselves . I just want

01:12.129 --> 01:14.129
them to get a chance to relax . You

01:14.129 --> 01:16.296
know , get away from get away from the

01:16.296 --> 01:18.407
troubles of being in Iraq and to just

01:18.407 --> 01:21.420
let go for a little bit unlined . Her

01:21.420 --> 01:24.030
arrest is in our and our program

01:24.030 --> 01:27.290
basically an Oasis in the desert . You

01:27.290 --> 01:29.490
send soldiers here to forget about the

01:29.490 --> 01:30.934
troubles for a few days .

01:30.934 --> 01:34.750
I can't stress and

01:35.240 --> 01:38.260
uh , yeah , come here for a few days

01:38.260 --> 01:40.780
and put down that burden for a little

01:40.780 --> 01:44.570
while because you know ,

01:44.580 --> 01:47.060
being out there either on the road or

01:47.060 --> 01:49.116
kicking down doors or whatever it is

01:49.116 --> 01:52.170
that they do , it can be stressful and

01:52.170 --> 01:54.337
they need to have some kind of release

01:54.337 --> 01:56.392
for that . In the end it's all about

01:56.392 --> 01:58.650
the soldiers . You know , being an N .

01:58.650 --> 02:00.761
C . O . Yeah , I can get stuff done .

02:00.761 --> 02:02.594
But really I wouldn't be half as

02:02.594 --> 02:04.761
effective as I am without the soldiers

02:04.761 --> 02:04.700
I have .
