00:09.550 --> 00:12.190
sam is an opportunity for other nations

00:12.190 --> 00:14.412
to come together with the United States

00:14.412 --> 00:17.900
to train and exchange training uh

00:17.910 --> 00:19.720
skills and different training

00:19.730 --> 00:21.860
philosophies on small arms firing

00:22.240 --> 00:26.100
marksmanship abilities . So there's

00:26.100 --> 00:28.211
always trading value in a competition

00:28.211 --> 00:30.530
like this . Competition within itself

00:30.540 --> 00:33.010
breeds excellence . It forces the

00:33.010 --> 00:35.250
individual to come above what they're

00:35.250 --> 00:38.090
normally used to and put in that extra

00:38.100 --> 00:40.380
effort to try and strive for greater

00:40.380 --> 00:44.270
feat . This is the highest

00:44.270 --> 00:46.530
level of competition that you can gain

00:46.530 --> 00:48.790
in the military . So we come here , we

00:48.790 --> 00:50.901
validate our skills and we go forward

00:50.901 --> 00:53.068
and teach those skills to other airmen

00:53.068 --> 00:55.600
and soldiers in the military . And

00:55.600 --> 00:57.767
unfortunately people look at this as a

00:57.767 --> 01:01.130
very small community and they don't

01:01.140 --> 01:03.620
understand that what we're trying to do

01:03.620 --> 01:06.800
here is to increase our skill set

01:07.620 --> 01:09.842
and help ourselves as well as our units

01:09.842 --> 01:11.953
become more lethal and able to do our

01:11.953 --> 01:14.176
job for the US Army and the D . O . D .

01:14.176 --> 01:15.176
As a whole .

01:18.140 --> 01:20.196
I was told as a young soldier in the

01:20.196 --> 01:22.307
military is what you make out of it .

01:22.307 --> 01:24.418
So I was always driven to be the best

01:24.418 --> 01:26.751
soldier and best airmen that I could be .

01:26.751 --> 01:28.940
And this to me is the pinnacle of my

01:28.940 --> 01:29.940
career .

01:37.030 --> 01:39.230
Mm hmm , mm hmm .

01:45.740 --> 01:46.330
Okay .

01:52.740 --> 01:53.240
Yeah
