00:01.240 --> 00:03.351
it is absolutely crucial to make sure

00:03.351 --> 00:06.480
that you are planned and trained of

00:06.480 --> 00:08.258
course before you go out on the

00:08.258 --> 00:09.250
ceremony . Mhm

00:12.840 --> 00:15.260
mm . Yes .

00:18.640 --> 00:20.862
Our daily training , what it would look

00:20.862 --> 00:24.620
like is pretty much training on how to

00:24.620 --> 00:27.130
fold the flag color ceremonies which we

00:27.130 --> 00:29.670
do at retirements and then we do add

00:29.680 --> 00:32.330
promotion ceremonies and then carrying

00:32.330 --> 00:34.552
the casket , which is what we call paul

00:34.552 --> 00:36.719
bearing and those are pretty much what

00:36.719 --> 00:38.386
we trained on . Yeah . Yeah .

00:40.540 --> 00:41.540
Right .

00:49.740 --> 00:52.100
Everything that we do , we try to train

00:52.100 --> 00:55.190
them to to have some type of motivation

00:55.190 --> 00:57.190
and confidence because you could be

00:57.190 --> 00:59.540
standing in a funeral and the hot sun

00:59.540 --> 01:01.490
for an hour to an hour and a half

01:01.500 --> 01:04.830
waiting for just a folded flag and

01:04.840 --> 01:07.007
that's very important to be able to do

01:07.007 --> 01:09.062
that , to build up the stamina to do

01:09.062 --> 01:11.062
that . The mission is to be able to

01:11.062 --> 01:14.200
provide services for funeral honors and

01:14.200 --> 01:17.780
for colours requests something that you

01:17.780 --> 01:20.410
learn an honor guard is the skill of

01:20.420 --> 01:22.860
training others , being accountable for

01:22.860 --> 01:25.280
others and leading others and being

01:25.280 --> 01:27.500
able to do that with a like a calm

01:27.500 --> 01:29.950
confidence . It is a very fulfilling

01:29.950 --> 01:33.870
job and it has been able to give me

01:33.870 --> 01:37.540
skills that I didn't think that I was

01:37.540 --> 01:40.300
lacking on . It was able to show me

01:40.310 --> 01:42.790
what I needed to work on and kind of

01:42.790 --> 01:45.130
give me a confidence after you graduate

01:45.130 --> 01:47.297
basic training , you kind of have that

01:47.297 --> 01:49.760
bleed blue mentality and then you put

01:49.760 --> 01:52.180
on senior airman after two years and

01:52.190 --> 01:54.412
some of that goes away . You know , you

01:54.412 --> 01:56.523
go to the day to day task . If you're

01:56.523 --> 01:58.579
in personnel finance medical field ,

01:58.579 --> 02:00.801
you go do your job early in the morning

02:00.801 --> 02:02.801
and then you come back home and you

02:02.801 --> 02:02.650
start playing video games and go to

02:02.650 --> 02:04.650
school and you kind of kind of lose

02:04.650 --> 02:06.840
that you know , pride in away on a

02:06.840 --> 02:09.190
guard . It's something that definitely

02:09.190 --> 02:12.320
rib lose you over time . And even when

02:12.320 --> 02:14.542
I talked to seniors and Chiefs now they

02:14.542 --> 02:16.542
say , oh yeah , I remember being an

02:16.542 --> 02:18.764
honor guard . That was the best time of

02:18.764 --> 02:20.820
my life and I wish I could go back .

02:21.840 --> 02:25.180
Yeah , yes .
