00:00.230 --> 00:02.190
on a beautiful fall morning . Long

00:02.190 --> 00:04.540
before most have gotten out of bed . A

00:04.540 --> 00:07.550
dedicated few are already hard at work .

00:09.460 --> 00:11.890
Members of the one 42nd wings Honor

00:11.890 --> 00:13.834
Guard use the early hours of their

00:13.834 --> 00:16.130
october uta to practice the various

00:16.130 --> 00:18.352
moves and techniques that come with the

00:18.352 --> 00:20.770
job leading . This group is an airman

00:20.770 --> 00:22.492
dedicated to training the next

00:22.492 --> 00:24.980
generation of the one 42nd wings Honor

00:24.980 --> 00:27.370
Guard . Hi I'm taking a sergeant

00:27.990 --> 00:30.212
Vanessa and I'm probably one 42nd honor

00:30.212 --> 00:32.890
Guard team . Taking over the N . C . O .

00:32.890 --> 00:34.850
I . C . Role . I had my flight

00:34.850 --> 00:37.200
superintendent . She recommended me to

00:37.210 --> 00:39.210
join the team . I just wanted to be

00:39.210 --> 00:41.310
something bigger than myself be that

00:41.320 --> 00:43.530
well rounded airman and she thought

00:43.530 --> 00:45.752
that would be a good candidate to be an

00:45.752 --> 00:49.100
honor guard arms One during this

00:49.100 --> 00:50.933
morning's training , honor guard

00:50.933 --> 00:52.656
members are practicing various

00:52.656 --> 00:54.660
activities . Flag folding which

00:54.660 --> 00:56.493
involves the precise folding and

00:56.493 --> 00:58.660
presentation of the U . S . Flag and a

00:58.660 --> 01:00.382
variety of ceremonies requires

01:00.382 --> 01:02.604
coordination between team members and a

01:02.604 --> 01:04.580
steady hand . Later in the morning

01:04.590 --> 01:06.590
members practice rifle and marching

01:06.590 --> 01:08.590
maneuvers according to Sergeant Lou

01:08.590 --> 01:10.650
NESA . Today's training is just a

01:10.660 --> 01:12.660
glimpse at the hours of training it

01:12.660 --> 01:14.730
takes to develop the crisp movements

01:14.740 --> 01:17.160
that people expect from the team . Oh

01:17.160 --> 01:19.430
it takes a lot of practice especially

01:19.430 --> 01:21.430
when you're not used to doing those

01:21.430 --> 01:23.652
movements on a daily and just trying to

01:23.652 --> 01:25.874
make it look perfect the movements when

01:25.874 --> 01:28.041
you learn them . You know they need to

01:28.041 --> 01:29.986
look crisp and snappy . That group

01:29.986 --> 01:32.290
training helps us out as a team because

01:32.300 --> 01:34.640
we're doing reps . So the more reps

01:34.640 --> 01:36.640
that we do together as a team , the

01:36.640 --> 01:38.807
better will look when we come together

01:38.807 --> 01:40.918
for a performance , the more practice

01:40.918 --> 01:42.973
that we get together , the better we

01:42.973 --> 01:45.196
are . The Honor Guard is always looking

01:45.196 --> 01:47.251
for . The next generation of leaders

01:47.251 --> 01:49.362
and Honor Guard training sessions are

01:49.362 --> 01:51.473
open to any team won four to member .

01:51.473 --> 01:53.640
Sergeant Vanessa finds the Honor guard

01:53.640 --> 01:55.473
is a great way for any Airmen to

01:55.473 --> 01:57.362
represent the Air Force will also

01:57.362 --> 01:59.584
connecting with their local community .

01:59.584 --> 02:01.696
They just come out to their practices

02:01.696 --> 02:03.696
and come in with an open mind . Ask

02:03.696 --> 02:05.807
questions , feel like the people that

02:05.807 --> 02:07.918
do come . They do come with a an open

02:07.918 --> 02:10.140
mind and with a positive attitude . One

02:10.140 --> 02:12.307
of the ways that we can grow better as

02:12.307 --> 02:14.529
a Air Force just being out there in the

02:14.529 --> 02:16.584
public and you know , we're not just

02:16.584 --> 02:18.807
there fixing planes or you know , being

02:18.807 --> 02:20.751
part of that mission , but another

02:20.751 --> 02:22.807
representation of what the Air Force

02:22.807 --> 02:24.973
can bring . The hours can be early and

02:24.973 --> 02:26.973
the training rigorous , but just as

02:26.973 --> 02:29.084
previous generations have carried the

02:29.084 --> 02:31.307
colors . The next generation of the one

02:31.307 --> 02:33.251
42nd Honor Guard is ready to serve

02:33.251 --> 02:35.720
reporting for the one 42nd wing , I'm

02:35.720 --> 02:38.040
