WEBVTT

00:02.507 --> 00:05.014
WE REMAIN FOCUSED ON OUR ROLE IN THE

00:05.014 --> 00:06.013
PACIFIC.

00:06.013 --> 00:07.359
WE ARE DILIGENT

00:07.359 --> 00:10.326
CONCENTRATED, AND POISED TO CARRY THE

00:10.326 --> 00:11.533
MISSION TO SUCCESS

00:11.533 --> 00:13.507
NO MATTER THE CHALLENGES AHEAD.

00:13.507 --> 00:16.541
AMERICA SAID, "HEY, MARINE CORPS,

00:16.541 --> 00:17.736
YOU'RE GOING TO BE MOST READY WHEN

00:17.736 --> 00:18.641
THE NATION'S LEAST READY."

00:18.641 --> 00:22.490
HERE AT THREE MEF, THE CRAFT OF WHAT YOU DO OUT HERE

00:22.490 --> 00:26.526
IN THE PACIFIC, THE FOCUS HAS TO BE ON READY.

00:26.526 --> 00:28.500
I BELIEVE THE EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY

00:28.500 --> 00:32.888
I WAS ACTUALLY ON MY HERE WHEN IT HAPPENED

00:32.888 --> 00:35.071
RIGHT OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT

00:35.071 --> 00:36.599
WHEN THE SECOND ONE HAPPENED, I WAS

00:36.599 --> 00:40.637
GEARING UP THE COMM AND EVERYONE CAME TO A STAND STILL

00:40.637 --> 00:44.421
SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CAS-VAC STARTED ROLLING

00:44.421 --> 00:47.516
PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUALLY READY

00:47.516 --> 00:50.385
FOR THE FIGHT THAT WE KNOW IS GOING TO COME

00:50.385 --> 00:51.327
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHEN.

00:51.814 --> 00:53.761
FOCUSED ON BEING READY WHENEVER WE ARE

00:53.761 --> 00:54.652
CALLED UPON.

00:54.652 --> 00:58.506
WE ARE THREE MARINE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE.
