00:12.010 --> 00:13.746
- Hi I'm Technical Sergeant Josh Lien.

00:13.746 --> 00:16.246
(guns firing)

00:19.287 --> 00:23.813
So I was the Warhawk of the
month for February 2019.

00:23.813 --> 00:25.710
- Fire!
- Side lime it.

00:25.710 --> 00:26.701
- Okay.
- See what.

00:26.701 --> 00:28.266
(background noise drowns out speech)

00:28.266 --> 00:31.570
- I am currently the (mumbles)
combat arms for this course.

00:31.570 --> 00:36.570
Our course is designed
to introduce combat arms,

00:36.610 --> 00:40.200
the art of weaponry to, in future,

00:40.200 --> 00:42.300
Security Forces Combat Arms instructors.

00:42.300 --> 00:45.670
So we start them off with
the simple understanding

00:45.670 --> 00:49.220
of what our job entails, the risk factors,

00:49.220 --> 00:51.860
what they're actually gonna be
doing on a day-to-day basis,

00:51.860 --> 00:53.720
and then we introduce them
to the weapon systems.

00:53.720 --> 00:56.810
So we start talking the
simple nomenclature,

00:56.810 --> 00:59.440
how they work, the functions of 'em,

00:59.440 --> 01:01.190
and then we bring 'em out to the range.

01:01.190 --> 01:05.150
They are introduced to
how to operate a range,

01:05.150 --> 01:08.450
from the tower portion to
the instructing I want.

01:08.450 --> 01:09.480
He already told me.

01:09.480 --> 01:10.520
These items right here,

01:10.520 --> 01:12.120
he was messing with his trigger finger.

01:12.120 --> 01:14.160
We do the structured time frame now,

01:14.160 --> 01:17.910
with the 50 minutes of
instruction, the 10 minutes off.

01:17.910 --> 01:20.570
I would say, I like the structured more,

01:20.570 --> 01:22.960
just because I do get more
interaction with the students.

01:22.960 --> 01:24.340
I do get to see the impact

01:24.340 --> 01:26.270
of what we do in the
time that we have 'em,

01:26.270 --> 01:27.310
as opposed to

01:28.770 --> 01:31.660
the only thing we knew
before was pain compliance.

01:31.660 --> 01:34.140
I knew if they didn't do
something else enough or work,

01:34.140 --> 01:36.030
and I engage them with some munition,

01:36.030 --> 01:38.640
then I understood the pain
that they got from it,

01:38.640 --> 01:40.590
as opposed to now, I
get the direct reflect,

01:40.590 --> 01:43.400
where you can see a
student change their mind

01:43.400 --> 01:44.730
within a course.

01:44.730 --> 01:46.590
I didn't understand operations of an M9.

01:46.590 --> 01:49.113
Now, I understand this
cycle and this portion.

01:50.570 --> 01:52.050
This is my first award ever.

01:52.050 --> 01:53.780
I've been in almost 11 years.

01:53.780 --> 01:55.030
I've never won (mumbles).

01:56.870 --> 02:00.870
So to win something to start
out as being a wing level award

02:00.870 --> 02:02.567
was a huge thing for me.

02:02.567 --> 02:05.817
