that got promoted to corporal under the

00:18.254 --> 00:17.960
Army's initiative . On the first of

00:17.960 --> 00:20.040
june , stay within the circle of non

00:20.040 --> 00:22.096
commissioned officer , solicit their

00:22.096 --> 00:24.480
knowledge and help except their

00:24.490 --> 00:27.300
guidance because they have been where

00:27.300 --> 00:29.680
you are about to go . It feels like

00:29.690 --> 00:32.710
you're being accepted into the N . C .

00:32.710 --> 00:34.960
O . Corps . It it's very like

00:34.970 --> 00:36.970
refreshing . He's always been in my

00:36.970 --> 00:39.137
nature to help . So being able to be a

00:39.137 --> 00:42.290
corporal and and apply that more to my

00:42.290 --> 00:44.401
career and my life , feel like you're

00:44.401 --> 00:47.600
gonna help mold me into a better

00:47.600 --> 00:49.767
leaders and believe that I feel like I

00:49.767 --> 00:51.544
want to and when they make that

00:51.544 --> 00:53.433
transition , it's one of the most

00:53.433 --> 00:55.433
difficult transitions in the United

00:55.433 --> 00:57.656
States Army for a young soldier because

00:57.656 --> 00:59.656
a lot of times the individuals that

00:59.656 --> 01:01.711
they grew up with her , they went to

01:01.711 --> 01:01.070
basic training , whether they have

01:01.070 --> 01:03.420
spent the last couple of years working

01:03.420 --> 01:05.960
day in and day out there no longer one

01:05.960 --> 01:08.127
of the guys , they're no longer one of

01:08.127 --> 01:10.349
the soldiers . They're no longer one of

01:10.349 --> 01:12.650
the peers they now are required to be

01:12.650 --> 01:14.710
the leader . And so making that

01:14.720 --> 01:16.700
transition and that symbology of

01:16.700 --> 01:18.811
walking through that N . C . O . Arch

01:18.811 --> 01:21.410
really lets it be able to really hit

01:21.420 --> 01:23.410
home for that young and Ceo ,

01:23.410 --> 01:25.577
understanding that they're no longer a

01:25.577 --> 01:27.390
soldier that they're now a non

01:27.390 --> 01:29.612
commissioned officer and that they're a

01:29.612 --> 01:31.930
leader of soldiers and it truly marks

01:31.930 --> 01:33.930
that distinction in their career as

01:33.930 --> 01:34.150
they move from one .
