WEBVTT

00:04.182 --> 00:05.684
- So our mission is to provide

00:05.684 --> 00:07.570
financial services to both troops,

00:07.570 --> 00:09.148
vendors,

00:09.148 --> 00:10.280
contractors

00:10.280 --> 00:11.628
all throughout Afghanistan,

00:11.628 --> 00:13.888
northeastern Afghanistan.

00:13.888 --> 00:15.596
Kind of just be able to

00:15.596 --> 00:17.251
pay these vendors,

00:17.251 --> 00:18.733
pay these soldiers

00:18.733 --> 00:20.576
put them in a position where
they can take care of their

00:20.576 --> 00:22.640
finances, their families back home

00:22.640 --> 00:25.320
and give them some financial stability.

00:25.320 --> 00:26.886
- So the Rodeo,

00:26.886 --> 00:29.082
we're obviously based out of Bagram,

00:29.082 --> 00:32.392
but we fly out to the different locations

00:32.392 --> 00:35.582
and offer assistance with SDP's,

00:35.582 --> 00:37.298
whether it be cash exchanges,

00:37.298 --> 00:38.131
anything like that.

00:38.131 --> 00:39.964
Any mail-pay problems.

00:40.834 --> 00:42.122
If soldiers are having issues

00:42.122 --> 00:43.297
with pay,

00:43.297 --> 00:44.527
they can push that through us

00:44.527 --> 00:47.730
and we'll get any of
their pay issues fixed.

00:47.730 --> 00:48.563
To be honest,

00:48.563 --> 00:50.900
I expected to be cooped up in my office,

00:50.900 --> 00:52.606
but it's been a nice change of pace.

00:52.606 --> 00:54.153
I really enjoy

00:54.153 --> 00:54.986
getting out,

00:54.986 --> 00:55.819
meeting new people

00:55.819 --> 00:58.428
and being able to service the soldiers

00:58.428 --> 00:59.910
and, you know, reach out to them.

00:59.910 --> 01:00.827
Make it a little bit easier

01:00.827 --> 01:02.693
for them to get financial experience.

01:02.693 --> 01:03.526
- It's awesome.

01:03.526 --> 01:04.783
It's a lot better than being,

01:04.783 --> 01:05.616
you know,

01:05.616 --> 01:06.554
stuck in the office back at Bagram.

01:06.554 --> 01:07.937
You know, it's nice to be able to

01:07.937 --> 01:09.343
get out and see something different.

01:09.343 --> 01:10.713
I mean, the same thing

01:10.713 --> 01:12.192
everyday for about nine months,

01:12.192 --> 01:13.025
it can get repetitive.

01:13.025 --> 01:15.274
So, to be able to get out and travel

01:15.274 --> 01:16.696
and, you know,

01:16.696 --> 01:17.650
see these different things,

01:17.650 --> 01:18.689
help these different people,

01:18.689 --> 01:19.757
see different problems,

01:19.757 --> 01:21.145
experience different challenges,

01:21.145 --> 01:21.978
it's awesome.

01:21.978 --> 01:24.228
It's an awesome experience.
