00:03.740 --> 00:06.060
mhm Yeah . Mhm .

00:10.140 --> 00:12.362
Today we're doing an art rodeo , that's

00:12.362 --> 00:14.530
a name from the art community , it

00:14.530 --> 00:17.930
reminds me of the 19 nineties , 19

00:17.940 --> 00:20.370
eighties firefighters challenge that

00:20.370 --> 00:22.050
you used to see on ESPN two ,

00:22.140 --> 00:24.307
essentially what it is , is a bunch of

00:24.307 --> 00:26.362
guys in the art community coming out

00:26.362 --> 00:28.473
and showcasing their skills . They're

00:28.473 --> 00:30.584
competing against each other and then

00:30.584 --> 00:32.418
they're doing specific things to

00:32.418 --> 00:35.060
firefighting and aircraft rescue Erica .

00:35.540 --> 00:39.520
So the purpose of

00:39.520 --> 00:42.660
the art rodeo is a few things actually ,

00:42.660 --> 00:46.420
the first is are in general , a bunch

00:46.420 --> 00:48.420
of subject matter experts , but not

00:48.420 --> 00:50.642
necessarily well understood by the rest

00:50.642 --> 00:50.580
of the Marine Corps and by the rest of

00:50.580 --> 00:52.747
the unit . So the first thing I wanted

00:52.747 --> 00:54.580
to do is make sure that the unit

00:54.580 --> 00:56.580
understood him . The best way to do

00:56.580 --> 00:56.490
that is see these guys showcase their

00:56.490 --> 00:58.546
capabilities , so that's what we did

00:58.546 --> 01:01.210
first . The other part of this is we

01:01.210 --> 01:03.600
don't always get time to get together

01:03.610 --> 01:05.970
and have a family day and so what

01:05.970 --> 01:07.859
better way to get a little bit of

01:07.859 --> 01:09.859
competition , A little bit of fun .

01:09.859 --> 01:12.081
Bring the family out on a beautiful day

01:12.081 --> 01:14.137
before it turns to winter and really

01:14.137 --> 01:16.248
just enjoy each other's company in an

01:16.248 --> 01:18.359
outdoor setting so that we could make

01:18.359 --> 01:20.470
sure that we're mindful of all of the

01:20.470 --> 01:22.526
restrictions today . So the training

01:22.526 --> 01:25.230
aspect for an art rodeo is really

01:25.230 --> 01:27.970
several things um , they picked the

01:27.970 --> 01:30.590
events , so some of them are hooking up

01:30.600 --> 01:32.711
the hose is working with the trucks ,

01:32.711 --> 01:35.000
they'll actually go from filling the

01:35.010 --> 01:37.232
truck up , Hooking up the host spraying

01:37.232 --> 01:39.177
the water and hitting targets , so

01:39.177 --> 01:41.343
accuracy in that also teamwork , a lot

01:41.343 --> 01:43.399
of teamwork of setting up the trucks

01:43.399 --> 01:45.566
and and tearing them down . So they're

01:45.566 --> 01:47.621
standardization skill sets there and

01:47.621 --> 01:49.843
then a little bit of it is just playing

01:49.843 --> 01:49.560
physical fitness , right ? There's

01:49.560 --> 01:51.449
gonna be some fireman's carry the

01:51.449 --> 01:53.504
standard stuff that the Marine Corps

01:53.504 --> 01:55.782
loves and then we'll time them , right ?

01:55.782 --> 01:55.470
So we'll make sure that not only are

01:55.470 --> 01:57.692
they doing the things they need to do ,

01:57.692 --> 01:59.803
they're doing it in a little bit of a

01:59.803 --> 02:01.914
stress environment consequence free ,

02:01.914 --> 02:03.914
right ? No one's gonna get hurt but

02:03.914 --> 02:06.081
there's a stressor . So do they do the

02:06.081 --> 02:08.192
things they need to do when they need

02:08.192 --> 02:07.860
to do them slow is smooth , smooth , is

02:07.860 --> 02:11.660
fast . I'll tell you it's gonna be

02:11.660 --> 02:13.660
exciting . I'm really , I really am

02:13.660 --> 02:15.827
excited to see it happen and I'll tell

02:15.827 --> 02:18.049
you the guys did an amazing job putting

02:18.049 --> 02:20.160
this together . We used it as a staff

02:20.160 --> 02:22.271
planning process as well to make sure

02:22.271 --> 02:24.382
that we had good communication across

02:24.382 --> 02:26.604
the board and really the staff and Ceos

02:26.604 --> 02:28.750
over at are gonna start Reynolds and

02:28.750 --> 02:30.930
Gunnarsson smith just did a phenomenal

02:30.930 --> 02:32.874
job and then you've got the actual

02:32.874 --> 02:34.986
marines and they've been training for

02:34.986 --> 02:37.152
it . They're excited . You know , they

02:37.152 --> 02:36.550
got their team uniforms ready to go .

02:36.550 --> 02:38.160
So I'm excited to see what happens
