00:06.940 --> 00:09.760
today we're at

00:10.740 --> 00:14.010
the obstacle course . Camp Swift , Uh ,

00:14.020 --> 00:16.187
in and around Backdrop , Texas . Today

00:16.187 --> 00:18.298
we're here for the state level . Best

00:18.298 --> 00:20.409
Warrior competition . To best prepare

00:20.409 --> 00:22.464
for a course like this , you have to

00:22.464 --> 00:24.798
maintain your physical fitness at drill .

00:24.798 --> 00:24.480
But when you're not a drill , when

00:24.480 --> 00:26.702
you're at home and you're on your own ,

00:26.702 --> 00:28.924
you have to maintain physical fitness .

00:28.924 --> 00:28.580
And that's part of you know , you know ,

00:28.590 --> 00:30.701
a warrior ethos , but moreover , it's

00:30.701 --> 00:32.646
part of just being in the National

00:32.646 --> 00:34.923
Guard and being in the Army as a whole ,

00:34.923 --> 00:37.146
you have to be a part of the Texas Army

00:37.146 --> 00:39.146
National Guard . Specifically , you

00:39.146 --> 00:41.257
have to maintain physical fitness and

00:41.257 --> 00:43.479
combat readiness and to be a successful

00:43.479 --> 00:45.534
competitor out here . You can't just

00:45.534 --> 00:47.590
show up and think you're going to be

00:47.590 --> 00:46.950
able to run this course . You might

00:46.950 --> 00:48.950
physically get through it , but you

00:48.950 --> 00:51.850
will not be competitive

00:52.340 --> 00:55.380
training for the A . C F . T . You know ,

00:55.380 --> 00:58.460
being able to do the dead lifts the

00:58.470 --> 01:00.303
ball throws over your head . The

01:00.303 --> 01:02.414
shuttle runs . Being able to do stuff

01:02.414 --> 01:04.470
like that to prepare for the A C F T

01:04.470 --> 01:06.359
will ultimately make you a better

01:06.359 --> 01:08.414
competitor . Climbing ropes . That's

01:08.414 --> 01:10.581
significant upper body work to be able

01:10.581 --> 01:12.692
to do that . So absolutely . When you

01:12.692 --> 01:14.914
look at this obstacle course out here ,

01:14.914 --> 01:17.026
you've got rope climbs . You've got ,

01:17.026 --> 01:18.914
uh , confidence climbs . Uh , and

01:18.914 --> 01:21.026
there's obviously running between the

01:21.026 --> 01:20.660
event . So absolutely , I do believe

01:20.660 --> 01:24.650
that the A . C F T will help find

01:24.650 --> 01:27.740
ways to train and be vigilant your

01:27.740 --> 01:29.851
training . And I think you'll be well

01:29.851 --> 01:31.960
prepared for this course next year .
