00:00.040 --> 00:02.590
today . What we accomplished was uh ,

00:02.600 --> 00:04.600
range estimation the last couple of

00:04.600 --> 00:06.600
days , we've been running through a

00:06.600 --> 00:08.322
couple of drills utilizing the

00:08.322 --> 00:10.433
binoculars that they have and through

00:10.433 --> 00:12.600
some simple math by looking at a given

00:12.600 --> 00:14.711
objective right now . Today they were

00:14.711 --> 00:17.460
working with vehicles . We , uh ,

00:17.940 --> 00:20.230
supplied them with the approximate

00:20.240 --> 00:22.390
length and width of a vehicle because

00:22.390 --> 00:24.112
you need that for proper range

00:24.112 --> 00:26.334
estimation . And so through giving them

00:26.334 --> 00:28.557
those numbers and through a simple math

00:28.557 --> 00:30.557
formula , they're able to gauge the

00:30.557 --> 00:32.557
distance based on what they observe

00:32.557 --> 00:34.723
inside their binoculars and it , where

00:34.723 --> 00:36.779
it is a building block to what we're

00:36.779 --> 00:38.946
trying to have them finally accomplish

00:38.946 --> 00:40.723
right now they're going through

00:40.723 --> 00:42.779
observations , ranging and reporting

00:42.779 --> 00:44.834
and then we'll slowly build and then

00:44.834 --> 00:46.890
they'll be able to hopefully , and I

00:46.890 --> 00:49.001
believe they'll be able to operate on

00:49.001 --> 00:50.779
their own without us over their

00:50.779 --> 00:52.668
shoulder , there's been plenty of

00:52.668 --> 00:54.501
moments so far where , uh , I've

00:54.501 --> 00:56.779
definitely been proud and also for the ,

00:56.779 --> 00:59.112
uh , on top of that , even humbled , um ,

00:59.112 --> 00:58.640
coming out here , I didn't know what to

00:58.640 --> 01:02.400
expect and their share ability to

01:02.400 --> 01:04.511
learn something in the morning or the

01:04.511 --> 01:06.870
day before and they can come back and

01:06.870 --> 01:09.037
regurgitate that product to you almost

01:09.037 --> 01:11.690
exactly as you provided it to them . So

01:11.720 --> 01:14.920
yesterday we just went over the class

01:15.300 --> 01:18.360
and then today they're well within and

01:18.370 --> 01:20.426
they've risen above the expectations

01:20.426 --> 01:22.648
that we've had coming out here and it's

01:22.648 --> 01:24.759
very humbling when you get out here ,

01:24.759 --> 01:26.870
they're all eager to prove themselves

01:26.870 --> 01:29.092
and they even come up to you afterwards

01:29.092 --> 01:31.259
and say , hey , we're understanding it

01:31.259 --> 01:33.537
today . Tomorrow we'll have it perfect .

01:33.537 --> 01:33.310
And so it's , it's a really humbling

01:33.310 --> 01:35.366
and and honorable experience to be a

01:35.366 --> 01:37.643
part of this with any kind of training ,

01:37.643 --> 01:39.699
you have to incorporate some kind of

01:39.699 --> 01:41.921
fun and they turn it into a competition

01:41.921 --> 01:43.921
to see who can be the most accurate

01:43.921 --> 01:46.143
scout , a part of that section . And it

01:46.143 --> 01:48.143
shows it shows the competitive , it

01:48.143 --> 01:50.310
only adds to it for them . You have to

01:50.310 --> 01:50.300
incorporate fun into some kind of a

01:50.300 --> 01:52.550
training and they have grasp it and

01:52.550 --> 01:54.661
then exceeded it . One of my favorite

01:54.661 --> 01:56.439
parts about working with them ,

01:56.439 --> 01:58.494
especially since this is their first

01:58.494 --> 02:00.494
one , is that we are providing them

02:00.494 --> 02:02.717
with the groundwork to not only be self

02:02.717 --> 02:04.772
sustaining in proficient , but to be

02:04.772 --> 02:06.994
able to pass on the knowledge that they

02:06.994 --> 02:08.994
learn to any follow on section that

02:08.994 --> 02:11.290
comes across their way knowing that you

02:11.300 --> 02:13.189
leave something behind that could

02:13.189 --> 02:15.078
better someone . It is one of the

02:15.078 --> 02:16.911
better feelings about this whole

02:16.911 --> 02:19.133
process . Yes . So we have it where one

02:19.133 --> 02:21.910
day we teach them and then the next day

02:21.930 --> 02:24.410
their leadership executes what we train

02:24.420 --> 02:27.290
them on the day prior . And so at the

02:27.290 --> 02:29.860
end of this three week process , we're

02:29.860 --> 02:31.971
gonna have a final exercise with them

02:31.971 --> 02:34.138
where they're gonna come by a combined

02:34.138 --> 02:36.138
collect and hopefully execute and I

02:36.138 --> 02:38.360
believe they will everything that we've

02:38.360 --> 02:40.471
given them so that once we leave , we

02:40.471 --> 02:42.638
have absolute confidence that they can

02:42.638 --> 02:42.990
sustain on their own
