00:00.700 --> 00:03.837
^- Once again, on behalf of General McKean, and 2ID,

00:04.380 --> 00:06.400
^welcome to the Best Warrior Competition.

00:06.400 --> 00:07.233
^Go, good luck.

00:07.233 --> 00:08.923
^- And whether you win or not,

00:09.180 --> 00:11.660
^you are gonna be a better-trained soldier and leader

00:11.660 --> 00:13.653
by the end of this week, no doubt.

00:14.450 --> 00:16.423
^- For me, I tell myself that,

00:17.276 --> 00:19.730
^no matter what happens, I'm not gonna give up on what I do.

00:19.730 --> 00:21.680
Everything comes to a close eventually.

00:21.740 --> 00:23.700
I just have to accept whatever's gonna happen to me

00:23.700 --> 00:25.453
for the next two, three hours.

00:25.500 --> 00:26.900
Motivation is always a tough one.

00:26.900 --> 00:29.270
It's just something you have to learn to get used to,

00:29.270 --> 00:30.700
and dig down deep into it.

00:30.700 --> 00:32.400
^- The most difficult is definitely

00:33.490 --> 00:35.030
^pushing yourself to the max

00:35.030 --> 00:38.073
for the entire 12 miles of 12-mile ruck march.

00:38.490 --> 00:40.850
If I had to sum it up in one word, it's humbling,

00:40.850 --> 00:43.703
because I come from, obviously, a tiered organization.

00:43.870 --> 00:46.060
I've spent eight and a half years

00:46.250 --> 00:47.750
training at a very high level.

00:47.960 --> 00:50.723
Then I came here, and I still find competition,

00:51.030 --> 00:54.020
and I still find that even KATUSAs and junior enlisters

00:54.020 --> 00:55.960
are performing on the same level as me,

00:55.960 --> 00:57.360
and push me a little harder.
