WEBVTT

00:00.040 --> 00:02.040
from and then at the end if you can

00:02.040 --> 00:05.870
spell your name , okay . My Rank is Sgt .

00:05.880 --> 00:08.730
My first name is Brett last name pierce .

00:08.770 --> 00:10.881
I'm from Louisiana and my company for

00:10.881 --> 00:14.530
my unit is 39th MP company . Okay . And

00:14.530 --> 00:16.641
then you want me to spell it ? Okay .

00:16.641 --> 00:19.320
Uh First name B . R . E . T . T . Last

00:19.320 --> 00:22.700
name P . E . R . C . E . I did pretty

00:22.700 --> 00:24.811
good . It wasn't as good as I thought

00:24.811 --> 00:28.480
it would be but after hitting state

00:28.750 --> 00:31.760
and everything . Yeah . Kind of the

00:31.760 --> 00:33.871
training kind of put me down a little

00:33.871 --> 00:36.490
bit when I first got here . But overall

00:36.490 --> 00:38.434
I did pretty good I would say . So

00:38.434 --> 00:40.490
you're saying state compared to this

00:40.490 --> 00:43.260
one ? So ST uh it was almost almost

00:43.260 --> 00:45.482
exactly the same . We just didn't do as

00:45.482 --> 00:47.593
much shooting as now and we did water

00:47.593 --> 00:49.704
survival at our state competition but

00:49.704 --> 00:51.760
everything else is roughly about the

00:51.760 --> 00:55.430
same . Yes . So I hope to gain the

00:55.430 --> 00:57.840
training that they threw the state all

00:57.840 --> 01:00.470
the training on the events so that I

01:00.470 --> 01:02.637
could take back to my units to be able

01:02.637 --> 01:04.637
to train them . So that way if they

01:04.637 --> 01:06.470
wanted to come here and have the

01:06.470 --> 01:08.803
experience the best warrior competition ,

01:08.803 --> 01:08.670
I could push that back and I feel like

01:08.670 --> 01:11.120
I've accomplished that . Just don't be

01:11.120 --> 01:13.287
nervous and just push yourself because

01:13.287 --> 01:14.953
it's going to be mentally and

01:14.953 --> 01:18.060
physically uh burden on you . My best

01:18.060 --> 01:19.616
event would probably be the

01:19.616 --> 01:22.500
marksmanship events because I'm just a

01:22.510 --> 01:24.940
good shot in high school . I did J . R .

01:24.940 --> 01:27.051
O . T . C . I was on the marksmanship

01:27.051 --> 01:29.740
team . I was all right , top of the top

01:29.740 --> 01:31.860
of the team . So I feel like that's

01:31.860 --> 01:35.740
mine top event . So when I , when we

01:35.740 --> 01:38.610
first got the tables I was like I was

01:38.740 --> 01:40.796
really confident because I just shot

01:40.796 --> 01:43.370
that two months ago and uh when we

01:43.370 --> 01:45.259
first came to the competition , I

01:45.259 --> 01:47.370
didn't expect it to be a whole , they

01:47.370 --> 01:49.560
weren't the shooting , but at first

01:49.830 --> 01:51.886
when I saw the tables , I was like ,

01:51.940 --> 01:54.051
I've already done this , so I'm gonna

01:54.051 --> 01:56.329
do pretty well and like that that's my ,

01:56.329 --> 01:58.384
when I saw the full day , I was like

01:58.384 --> 02:00.607
okay , I'm gonna do really well on this

02:00.607 --> 02:02.662
day and that's gonna be my main main

02:02.662 --> 02:04.773
part . That's why I didn't do all too

02:04.773 --> 02:07.051
well on the A . C . F . T . I was like ,

02:07.051 --> 02:08.996
I could probably catch up with the

02:08.996 --> 02:11.162
marksmanship marksmanship day . So the

02:11.162 --> 02:13.329
mp portion has to do with the pistol .

02:13.329 --> 02:16.390
The rifle mainly has to do with um I've

02:16.390 --> 02:18.334
just been shooting rifles a lot my

02:18.334 --> 02:20.560
whole life also . Um

02:22.500 --> 02:25.190
I'm just mainly a natural shot and I

02:25.190 --> 02:27.190
just did it two months ago with the

02:27.190 --> 02:29.620
Governor's 20 . So oh I didn't , I

02:29.620 --> 02:31.453
didn't rock at all . I would say

02:31.453 --> 02:33.509
probably the , I'll say probably the

02:33.509 --> 02:35.620
ruck march was the most difficult for

02:35.620 --> 02:37.787
me because I haven't done a ruck march

02:37.787 --> 02:40.009
with that many hills or that steep of a

02:40.009 --> 02:43.200
hill before and From the state

02:43.200 --> 02:45.144
competition , my feet haven't like

02:45.144 --> 02:47.740
fully healed from that 12 mile . So I

02:47.740 --> 02:50.840
was kinda trucking on with my feet

02:50.840 --> 02:53.960
still not totally healed and so

02:54.740 --> 02:56.907
I didn't unfortunately didn't complete

02:56.907 --> 02:59.440
it . But I tried my best and I got as

02:59.440 --> 03:02.330
far as I could . Ah Yeah I would

03:02.330 --> 03:04.552
probably say the Land Nav , the A . W .

03:04.552 --> 03:06.770
T . S . And the O course . I've never

03:06.770 --> 03:08.714
actually done the aerosol o course

03:08.714 --> 03:10.670
before that put a toll on me but I

03:10.670 --> 03:12.781
completed all the events in a certain

03:12.781 --> 03:15.370
amount of time . I did get all the

03:15.370 --> 03:18.820
points for Land Nav except I missed one

03:18.820 --> 03:20.987
because I put the wrong point point on

03:20.987 --> 03:23.209
there but I did get all the points with

03:23.209 --> 03:25.264
a certain amount of time and night .

03:25.264 --> 03:28.380
Land Nav . I did pretty well on versus

03:28.390 --> 03:30.660
what I thought I was going to do . Ah I

03:30.660 --> 03:33.440
wanted to competing best warrior

03:33.440 --> 03:36.240
because I wanted to show what I have

03:36.240 --> 03:38.407
done because if I would have done this

03:38.407 --> 03:40.462
a year ago I probably could not have

03:40.462 --> 03:42.860
done any of this . And

03:45.440 --> 03:47.773
representing my state for the N . C . O .

03:47.773 --> 03:49.607
S . At least for the N . C . O .

03:49.607 --> 03:51.607
Division I would say . I'm pretty I

03:51.607 --> 03:53.607
feel pretty accomplished for myself

03:53.607 --> 03:55.718
because I've only been an N . C . O .

03:55.718 --> 03:59.370
For seven months roughly . So competing

03:59.370 --> 04:03.050
against all the other more train

04:03.940 --> 04:06.980
been more instant like N . C . O .

04:06.980 --> 04:09.091
Longer than I have . I feel like I've

04:09.091 --> 04:11.202
done pretty well for myself . I would

04:11.202 --> 04:13.313
say so because I know how to train my

04:13.313 --> 04:15.950
other soldiers on all the army tests

04:16.010 --> 04:19.890
and all the , I could try to

04:19.890 --> 04:22.430
push them into competing for the best

04:22.430 --> 04:25.030
warrior . Just push them to be the best

04:25.030 --> 04:27.200
orders that they can be right now .

04:27.200 --> 04:29.256
Actually finishing the competition I

04:29.256 --> 04:31.367
would say I'm probably the most proud

04:31.367 --> 04:32.367
of because um

04:35.940 --> 04:38.107
like I said like a year ago I probably

04:38.107 --> 04:41.740
would not , I was not physically fit .

04:41.750 --> 04:43.861
I probably wouldn't have been able to

04:43.861 --> 04:45.917
do the A . C . F . T . Or any of the

04:45.917 --> 04:48.083
extraneous physical activities that we

04:48.083 --> 04:50.306
did . So saying that I'm standing right

04:50.306 --> 04:52.528
here at regional Best Warriors probably

04:52.528 --> 04:54.870
what I'm most proud of . It feels good ,

04:54.910 --> 04:58.300
it feels good it motivates me and that

04:58.300 --> 05:00.850
they're rooting for me . It puts it

05:00.860 --> 05:03.082
doesn't put a lot of pressure on me but

05:03.082 --> 05:04.916
it puts a little bit of pressure

05:04.916 --> 05:04.760
because I don't want to disappoint them

05:05.130 --> 05:07.940
in a way . But other than that uh

05:07.950 --> 05:10.520
family , they're really supportive my

05:10.520 --> 05:12.890
unit . Especially because before I came

05:12.890 --> 05:15.750
to the Best warrior my first aren't he ?

05:16.740 --> 05:19.940
Ah gave me tips . He helped me pack my

05:19.940 --> 05:22.150
list and everything so they're really

05:22.150 --> 05:22.860
supportive
