00:00.062 --> 00:01.897
(upbeat music)

00:01.897 --> 00:02.860
- [Manuel] The US Army Central

00:02.860 --> 00:04.390
and the 1st Theater
Support Command Chapter

00:04.390 --> 00:05.960
of the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club,

00:05.960 --> 00:07.920
inducted its newest member.

00:07.920 --> 00:10.720
- The reason I wanted to join
the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club

00:10.720 --> 00:12.890
is because I felt the
need to challenge myself

00:12.890 --> 00:14.470
and by challenging myself,

00:14.470 --> 00:16.490
I was able to express to the board members

00:16.490 --> 00:18.050
and the board panel

00:18.050 --> 00:20.490
my experiences throughout
my military career

00:20.490 --> 00:23.150
as well as getting information
and feedback from them,

00:23.150 --> 00:25.480
to provide to the soldiers.

00:25.480 --> 00:27.730
- [Manuel] In preparation of
a rigorous laboring process

00:27.730 --> 00:30.290
for months of studying
everything Audie Murphy,

00:30.290 --> 00:32.300
physical fitness, drill and ceremony,

00:32.300 --> 00:33.996
knowledge of manuals and regulations.

00:33.996 --> 00:36.410
Part of the induction,
the candidate recites

00:36.410 --> 00:39.430
a complete biography of
Sergeant Audie Leon Murphy,

00:39.430 --> 00:41.640
word for word before becoming a member.

00:41.640 --> 00:42.840
- Once you've received your medallion,

00:42.840 --> 00:44.460
that's actually when it starts.

00:44.460 --> 00:46.900
The board processes, one section of it.

00:46.900 --> 00:50.060
Going through the board
process, it is definitely hard.

00:50.060 --> 00:52.272
It takes a lot of discipline to study

00:52.272 --> 00:55.610
and to get everything down
that you possibly need to,

00:55.610 --> 00:57.407
to be prepared for the board.

00:57.407 --> 01:01.110
But, the Audie Murphy Club
is all about the community.

01:01.110 --> 01:03.200
So, we are out volunteering

01:03.200 --> 01:04.980
and doing anything and everything

01:04.980 --> 01:08.210
to support our surrounding areas.

01:08.210 --> 01:10.870
Paying it forward, you wanna find NCOs

01:10.870 --> 01:12.270
and mentor them and guide them,

01:12.270 --> 01:15.510
so then they can be Audie
Murphy members as well.

01:15.510 --> 01:17.140
- [Manuel] Reporting from
Camp Arifjan, Kuwait,

01:17.140 --> 01:18.900
in the operational command post,

01:18.900 --> 01:20.600
I'm Army Sergeant Manuel Curos.

01:20.600 --> 01:23.183
