00:00.640 --> 00:02.029
All right , let's load .

00:10.040 --> 00:12.710
My name is Greg . Deal . I'm from

00:12.710 --> 00:14.488
Charlotte , North Carolina . My

00:14.488 --> 00:16.432
position is the HHC , one of fifth

00:16.432 --> 00:19.970
company , First sergeant . So today

00:19.970 --> 00:21.692
we're doing some rehearsals in

00:21.692 --> 00:23.526
preparation to support our civil

00:23.526 --> 00:25.750
authorities . So , uh , in advance of ,

00:25.760 --> 00:27.871
uh , projected site security missions

00:27.871 --> 00:29.871
and possible civil disturbance . So

00:29.871 --> 00:31.816
we're doing a lot of load outs and

00:31.816 --> 00:33.816
preparation and just refining those

00:33.816 --> 00:35.871
plans in the event that they call us

00:35.871 --> 00:37.760
for assistance . Whatever started

00:37.760 --> 00:39.816
braided as faras receiving them , it

00:39.816 --> 00:42.250
seemed to work really well . Ast faras

00:42.250 --> 00:44.417
the shields . So maybe we need to work

00:44.417 --> 00:46.472
on our system of packing the shields

00:46.472 --> 00:48.639
back in . Um , but other than that , I

00:48.639 --> 00:50.528
think the flow of everything went

00:50.528 --> 00:50.150
really well . What do you guys think ?

00:50.160 --> 00:52.660
E think . Any suggestions unloading ?

00:52.670 --> 00:54.880
Think our soldiers are always excited

00:54.880 --> 00:57.047
to take all the training that they put

00:57.047 --> 00:59.158
into place and actually practice it .

00:59.158 --> 01:01.102
The military is unique where we're

01:01.102 --> 01:03.269
always practicing these skills that we

01:03.269 --> 01:05.047
rarely put to use the amount of

01:05.047 --> 01:07.269
soldiers that actually deploy forward ,

01:07.269 --> 01:06.630
whether it be for a state active duty

01:06.630 --> 01:08.797
mission on overseas mission . And here

01:08.797 --> 01:10.963
we've done all this training and we've

01:10.963 --> 01:13.074
had this ngr mission for a year after

01:13.074 --> 01:15.186
year after year . And now someone has

01:15.186 --> 01:17.408
actually saying , We need you . We want

01:17.408 --> 01:19.741
your skill set . We cannot provide this .

01:19.741 --> 01:22.310
And you get to do this in real life in

01:22.310 --> 01:24.366
your own neighborhood , let alone in

01:24.366 --> 01:26.588
North Carolina . And so for them , it's

01:26.588 --> 01:28.754
Hey , all of this that I've done , I'm

01:28.754 --> 01:30.754
now going to put it into practice .

01:30.754 --> 01:32.977
Someone needs me , and I'm part of that

01:32.977 --> 01:35.199
small percentage that gets to say I was

01:35.199 --> 01:37.421
there . I was part of that and I got to

01:37.421 --> 01:39.643
take all that training and actually use

01:39.643 --> 01:41.754
it on the street . And then when they

01:41.754 --> 01:41.320
come back and they've seen other

01:41.320 --> 01:43.542
soldiers come back , whether it be from

01:43.542 --> 01:45.542
overseas deployments or prior state

01:45.542 --> 01:47.709
active duty , and I've seen how strong

01:47.709 --> 01:49.709
their skills air after that I think

01:49.709 --> 01:49.520
they're really like I'm gaining all of

01:49.520 --> 01:51.687
this experience . And now I'm gonna be

01:51.687 --> 01:53.909
the one looked at as soldier that knows

01:53.909 --> 01:56.550
this azan expert among my peers and

01:56.560 --> 01:58.780
really getting the confidence that

01:58.780 --> 02:00.669
comes from actually applying that

02:00.669 --> 02:02.724
training in real life . This is no ,

02:02.724 --> 02:04.836
you know , no longer just Hey , we're

02:04.836 --> 02:07.002
gonna practice this out in the field .

02:07.002 --> 02:08.947
This is for real , and that really

02:08.947 --> 02:08.710
builds a lot of confidence and a lot of

02:08.710 --> 02:09.770
motivation for them .
