00:03.090 --> 00:05.090
today the cadets are performing the

00:05.090 --> 00:07.257
field leadership reaction course which

00:07.257 --> 00:10.280
is a team building exercise . We have a

00:10.280 --> 00:12.336
bunch of obstacles out here and they

00:12.336 --> 00:14.850
are required to negotiate the obstacles

00:14.860 --> 00:17.470
given a certain set of instructions and

00:17.470 --> 00:20.030
limitations for C . S . T . This isn't

00:20.040 --> 00:22.180
a required

00:23.440 --> 00:25.620
exercise . It's more of a it's more

00:25.620 --> 00:27.898
oriented towards building the teams up ,

00:27.898 --> 00:30.009
having them get comfortable with each

00:30.009 --> 00:32.220
other so that once they do reach a

00:32.230 --> 00:34.820
point in training where the stakes are

00:34.820 --> 00:36.980
high there is a requirement they've

00:36.980 --> 00:39.147
already had experience with each other

00:39.147 --> 00:41.147
and know how their squad operates .

00:41.147 --> 00:43.258
Being a follower is just as important

00:43.258 --> 00:45.036
as being a leader . Some of the

00:45.036 --> 00:47.036
problems that I see continuously is

00:47.036 --> 00:49.202
everyone tries to be a leader and then

00:49.202 --> 00:48.910
nothing gets ,

00:53.840 --> 00:56.007
we definitely developed our leadership

00:56.007 --> 00:58.140
during this process . So we starting

00:58.140 --> 01:00.307
from the first obstacle it was kind of

01:00.307 --> 01:02.473
a little sketchy and I mean we kind of

01:02.473 --> 01:04.473
were like not arguing but it wasn't

01:04.540 --> 01:06.707
superfluid I guess you could say . And

01:06.707 --> 01:08.873
then approaching these other obstacles

01:08.873 --> 01:11.096
we slowly became to understand like our

01:11.096 --> 01:13.318
leadership styles and what we wanted to

01:13.318 --> 01:15.318
do . Um And once we understood each

01:15.318 --> 01:17.318
other like beyond that point it was

01:17.318 --> 01:17.050
really fluid after that . These

01:17.050 --> 01:19.480
obstacle courses are absolutely I mean

01:19.480 --> 01:21.480
I think they're great team building

01:21.480 --> 01:23.647
skills . I mean you could bring I mean

01:23.647 --> 01:25.869
we're bringing whole companies out here

01:25.869 --> 01:24.990
and we're all gonna have great

01:25.060 --> 01:27.620
experiences whether because especially

01:27.620 --> 01:29.731
the N . C . O . S . And officers that

01:29.731 --> 01:31.509
are running these lanes they're

01:31.509 --> 01:33.564
creating these great experiences and

01:33.564 --> 01:35.676
these A . R . Is really gonna improve

01:35.676 --> 01:37.787
our camaraderie going through like to

01:37.787 --> 01:39.898
these stick lanes and everything like

01:39.898 --> 01:42.120
that For anyone coming to CST just come

01:42.120 --> 01:44.342
with a big heart . Um , don't be afraid

01:44.342 --> 01:46.564
to talk to people like we're , I mean ,

01:46.564 --> 01:46.150
we're all on the same playing field ,

01:46.160 --> 01:48.327
we all wear the same rank . Um , we're

01:48.327 --> 01:50.438
all generally about the same age , so

01:50.438 --> 01:52.382
just have fun . I mean , enjoy the

01:52.382 --> 01:54.604
sweat , enjoy the tears like it'll be a

01:54.604 --> 01:54.660
good 35 days .
