(traffic rumbling)

00:03.230 --> 00:06.063
(sailors talking)

00:07.120 --> 00:11.430
- Yesterday on December 11,
RCC South-East Jacksonville

00:11.430 --> 00:14.233
did an Adopt-A-Highway
cleanup on Blanding boulevard.

00:15.510 --> 00:18.050
RCC Jacksonville South-East

00:18.050 --> 00:20.700
got together maybe a
group of about 20 sailors

00:20.700 --> 00:24.990
that we prepared with trash
bags and we walked the streets,

00:24.990 --> 00:28.410
picking up all the trash
along both sides of Blanding,

00:28.410 --> 00:30.640
and we wore our cleanup vest,

00:30.640 --> 00:33.220
and it was just a nice camaraderie event

00:33.220 --> 00:34.190
for the sailors,

00:34.190 --> 00:36.980
along, like I said, with showing support

00:36.980 --> 00:38.430
in cleaning up the community.

00:40.110 --> 00:42.920
It's important for RCC
South-East Jacksonville

00:42.920 --> 00:46.270
to adopt a highway because we
are resident in the community,

00:46.270 --> 00:48.870
and we do want to show our
support for the community,

00:48.870 --> 00:50.520
and help keep the roadways clean.

00:52.805 --> 00:55.690
(cars passing by)

00:55.690 --> 00:58.010
So yesterday, in the adopt-a-highway,

00:58.010 --> 00:59.750
it was about 20 sailors,

00:59.750 --> 01:02.120
which meant we gave about 200 man hours

01:02.120 --> 01:03.780
back to the community.

01:03.780 --> 01:06.020
They took time from their
lunch breaks to go out

01:06.020 --> 01:07.510
to show support for the command,

01:07.510 --> 01:09.160
and like I said, it was just a good way

01:09.160 --> 01:12.120
for the command to show
camaraderie to go out,

01:12.120 --> 01:14.083
and clean the highway in our community.

01:15.374 --> 01:18.207
(sailors talking)

01:19.940 --> 01:22.270
It was from captains, all the way down

01:22.270 --> 01:23.900
to our most junior sailors,

01:23.900 --> 01:25.620
so it was just, like I said, a good way

01:25.620 --> 01:27.580
for the command to come
together with sailors

01:27.580 --> 01:29.180
of all ranks--we're all sailors.

01:30.433 --> 01:32.980
(cars passing by)

01:32.980 --> 01:34.440
I felt great about going out.

01:34.440 --> 01:35.960
It was a good way to give back,

01:35.960 --> 01:38.620
the weather was great,
it was a awesome day,

01:38.620 --> 01:41.440
especially being out there
with the junior sailors.

01:41.440 --> 01:44.153
It was just a awesome way
to help lead from the front.

01:44.153 --> 01:46.986
