00:00.608 --> 00:02.491
- This here's our purpose of what we're gonna do.

00:02.491 --> 00:04.347
This is what I expect you to do.

00:04.347 --> 00:05.730
^- Today at Austin Peay University,

00:05.730 --> 00:07.880
^we had a great opportunity to share

00:07.880 --> 00:09.646
^with students, faculty member

00:09.646 --> 00:11.832
the Marine Corps leadership approach.

00:11.832 --> 00:13.947
We shared the Marine Corps story.

00:13.947 --> 00:17.101
We talked about different foundational principles

00:17.101 --> 00:19.859
that make Marine Corps leadership great,

00:19.859 --> 00:22.692
that are a lot of times consistent

00:23.365 --> 00:26.220
across industries into the civilian world

00:26.220 --> 00:28.561
and how we want to be able to help them apply

00:28.561 --> 00:32.328
those principles in a way that impacts the community.

00:32.328 --> 00:33.535
- Marine Week is taken,

00:33.535 --> 00:36.842
^it said community, the Corps, and the country

00:36.842 --> 00:39.409
^and that's what the Marine Corps is all about, it's sharing

00:39.409 --> 00:41.608
with the nation the capability

00:41.608 --> 00:43.606
of the United States Marine Corps.

00:43.606 --> 00:47.594
I came here as a young 17-year-old on the football team.

00:47.594 --> 00:50.936
One day I ran into a Marine who was doing

00:50.936 --> 00:52.852
some Marine Corps recruiting and got exposed

00:52.852 --> 00:54.621
to the Platoon Leaders Corps program

00:54.621 --> 00:57.262
so what I learned after I went off

00:57.262 --> 00:59.279
to the Platoon Leaders Corps, I brought back

00:59.279 --> 01:01.904
not only to the university but to the football team,

01:01.904 --> 01:04.687
I had them all yelling, "Ooh rah."

01:04.687 --> 01:07.095
- I'm a student worker with Miss Carol Clark

01:07.095 --> 01:09.265
^in president's office, I'm currently working

01:09.265 --> 01:12.314
^on the scholarship, and she approached me.

01:12.314 --> 01:14.561
She said, "Instead of being in the office,

01:14.561 --> 01:16.450
"why don't you come to this seminar?"

01:16.450 --> 01:18.516
I mean I have no history with the military

01:18.516 --> 01:22.683
but it always fascinates me, brave young men and women.

01:22.833 --> 01:24.897
One of the speakers kind of asked me a question.

01:24.897 --> 01:28.016
They need to speak up and I kind of like that

01:28.016 --> 01:30.467
even though I'm not used to it

01:30.467 --> 01:33.210
and being a team leader with activities,

01:33.210 --> 01:37.274
it kind of caught me off guard too but it's college.

01:37.274 --> 01:38.987
You're supposed to get out of your comfort zone.

01:38.987 --> 01:41.307
- [Woman] I got my hands on this one, you can step off.

01:41.307 --> 01:42.140
(woman yells)
