00:00.000 --> 00:01.418
^- Staff Sergeant Keast

00:01.418 --> 00:05.286
^I am the Testing NCO-IC for the AIU Air Support Battalion

00:05.286 --> 00:08.410
^and I've been in this position for about four months now.

00:08.410 --> 00:10.375
Knowledge is important down here because we're trying

00:10.375 --> 00:12.356
to build that Whole Marine concept,

00:12.356 --> 00:15.717
not just a basically-trained warrior, but the Whole Marine.

00:15.717 --> 00:16.889
In order to see where they're going they need

00:16.889 --> 00:18.456
to understand where they came from.

00:18.456 --> 00:21.849
In order to provide results, we have to have testing

00:21.849 --> 00:23.760
to ensure that they understand and they're retaining

00:23.760 --> 00:25.452
the things that they are going to be able to use

00:25.452 --> 00:27.265
to make themselves successful.

00:27.265 --> 00:29.198
It's not just for that Whole Marine concept

00:29.198 --> 00:30.639
but to be a good citizen, as well.

00:30.639 --> 00:32.124
Because they can use the combat care

00:32.124 --> 00:33.742
that we teach them here to save lives

00:33.742 --> 00:35.592
in everyday situations.
