00:00.800 --> 00:01.970
- [Speaker] We have new privates

00:01.970 --> 00:03.610
that are training for
the upcoming deployment

00:03.610 --> 00:05.280
that I, myself, will not be going on

00:05.280 --> 00:07.830
due to my son's medical reasons.

00:07.830 --> 00:09.130
He has medical necessities

00:09.130 --> 00:11.390
so whenever I turned in his
letter of medical necessity

00:11.390 --> 00:14.299
to the unit, they were very
supportive of what was going on.

00:14.299 --> 00:15.780
(mortar fires)

00:15.780 --> 00:17.540
They still keep me interactive
with all the training

00:17.540 --> 00:20.150
that we do and still keep
me where they need me.

00:20.150 --> 00:22.090
I think it's important
that I can still teach

00:22.090 --> 00:24.410
some of these newer people
coming in to the platoon.

00:24.410 --> 00:25.670
That way, they have
the knowledge they need

00:25.670 --> 00:27.010
whenever they go out there.

00:27.010 --> 00:29.170
I think it's really
good that our units care

00:29.170 --> 00:31.670
about our home lives and
our family necessities.

00:31.670 --> 00:34.440
I think the unit
definitely does a great job

00:34.440 --> 00:36.095
of making sure everyone's taken care of.
