^- [Voiceover] Chasing pirates

00:02.073 --> 00:04.454
^and drug traffickers may seem fun,

00:04.454 --> 00:05.794
but boarding unknown vessels

00:05.794 --> 00:09.367
with potential threats is serious business.

00:09.367 --> 00:11.443
Sailors at Naval Base San Diego are learning

00:11.443 --> 00:13.889
the proper techniques to keep them safe

00:13.889 --> 00:15.682
at the Non-compliant Boarding

00:15.682 --> 00:17.710
Visit, Board, Search and Seizure course.

00:17.710 --> 00:19.245
^- The reason why this training is effective

00:19.245 --> 00:22.787
^at creating boarding members, you teach them fundamentals

00:22.787 --> 00:25.150
such as shooting,
(gunshots popping)

00:25.150 --> 00:29.317
tactics, climbing,
(gear clicking)

00:30.441 --> 00:31.283
things they're going to need

00:31.283 --> 00:32.796
to effectively conduct that mission,

00:32.796 --> 00:36.275
effectively get on the target and carry out that mission.

00:36.275 --> 00:38.128
^- All through A School and C School,

00:38.128 --> 00:40.136
^I was told that females didn't do VBSS,

00:40.136 --> 00:41.724
that they couldn't do VBSS

00:41.724 --> 00:44.159
and I kind of made it my vendetta, at that point,

00:44.159 --> 00:45.587
that it was going to be something

00:45.587 --> 00:47.426
that I did, I accomplished.

00:47.426 --> 00:49.102

00:51.774 --> 00:53.524
