00:04.899 --> 00:07.189
- When I found out I was
gonna be an instructor,

00:07.189 --> 00:09.979
I was kind of intimidated,
but at the same time excited,

00:09.979 --> 00:12.709
'cause I love talking in front
of people and helping others.

00:12.709 --> 00:16.248
It's just the unknown that
was kinda intimidating.

00:16.248 --> 00:18.189
- Every month and a
half, every two months,

00:18.189 --> 00:21.837
you get 16 new personalities
to learn about,

00:21.837 --> 00:24.789
16 new different views of the world.

00:24.789 --> 00:27.368
In essence, I think that
becoming an instructor,

00:27.368 --> 00:30.200
I've learned so much more
than what the students

00:30.200 --> 00:31.859
get out of the curriculum.

00:31.859 --> 00:33.609
- Sergeant Zanarkand,

00:34.787 --> 00:37.204
he is the instructor we need.

00:38.400 --> 00:40.888
His teaching method is to the point,

00:40.888 --> 00:43.920
where you can eliminate all the fluff.

00:43.920 --> 00:46.022
- We have to get to
specifics because students,

00:46.022 --> 00:47.788
they want to know the specifics,

00:47.788 --> 00:50.679
the specific applications,
the different situations,

00:50.679 --> 00:54.687
not just hey, if this
happens, you do this.

00:54.687 --> 00:57.176
- So, Sergeant Pullen,
he's a great character.

00:57.176 --> 01:00.868
Unfortunately, we haven't had
many interactions with him

01:00.868 --> 01:03.509
but he is always there to cheer us on

01:03.509 --> 01:06.469
and to bump fists as soon as we're done.

01:06.469 --> 01:08.389
I can tell he's a team player.

01:08.389 --> 01:10.560
(clapping)

01:10.560 --> 01:12.787
- The biggest thing is that care factor.

01:12.787 --> 01:14.859
That, hey, how are you doing today?

01:14.859 --> 01:18.288
That interest as for what
a person is going through.

01:18.288 --> 01:19.822
Cause sometimes you
don't get a second chance

01:19.822 --> 01:21.353
when your working with someone else

01:21.353 --> 01:24.014
and once you lose that trust, its gone.

01:24.014 --> 01:26.288
- My role here contributes to readiness,

01:26.288 --> 01:28.871
that we are developing leaders.

01:30.880 --> 01:33.798
They'll make sure people are
ready, they're all trained up,

01:33.798 --> 01:36.789
they can address those
different domains of wellness,

01:36.789 --> 01:39.680
so to speak, to make sure
their mentally fit and ready

01:39.680 --> 01:42.847
to take on all aspects of the mission.
