00:05.512 --> 00:09.078
- [Man 1] A leader by me is someone who leads by example,

00:09.078 --> 00:11.252
by action, basically, someone who is gonna

00:11.252 --> 00:15.419
take you along for the ride with them, with success,

00:15.426 --> 00:19.144
someone who basically is gonna prepare you for success.

00:19.144 --> 00:20.340
Currently right now, we're going through

00:20.340 --> 00:22.675
the basic leader course, which is a course designed

00:22.675 --> 00:26.842
to transition the lower-enlisted into being future NCOs,

00:27.157 --> 00:29.898
transitioning over to being a junior NCO.

00:29.898 --> 00:31.491
The course will cover topics such as

00:31.491 --> 00:34.574
army correspondence, sharp awareness.

00:35.578 --> 00:39.170
- [Man 2] They get the basics, how to become leaders.

00:39.170 --> 00:42.753
These are our junior NCOs, they're about to

00:43.492 --> 00:47.409
become hard stripes and we give them the basics

00:47.958 --> 00:51.208
on how to hone their craft as a leader.

00:51.683 --> 00:55.016
And for us to come here to support them,

00:55.187 --> 00:57.745
because some of the soldiers here,

00:57.745 --> 01:00.110
the only thing that they're waiting for

01:00.110 --> 01:02.733
is to have BLC that get promoted.

01:02.733 --> 01:05.949
Instead of them waiting, they send, our academy

01:05.949 --> 01:09.866
send us as a NTT here to give them this course,

01:10.764 --> 01:14.587
that way it'll shorten their time and also give them

01:14.587 --> 01:18.504
some sort of leadership before they get pinned.

01:18.600 --> 01:21.686
It's rewarding, you know, knowing that, okay,

01:21.686 --> 01:24.603
I've had a hand in helping to train

01:25.620 --> 01:28.460
these young soldiers to becoming NCOs.

01:28.460 --> 01:30.710
(shouting)

01:32.005 --> 01:34.340
- Definitely I can say that when I do take the next leap

01:34.340 --> 01:36.930
and become an NCO that definitely I was

01:36.930 --> 01:39.597
trained well and I was prepared.
