WEBVTT 00:00.990 --> 00:03.240 Lane 3 2nd attempt 00:05.220 --> 00:08.220 proper grip , thumb the clip , twist , 00:08.220 --> 00:10.442 pull pin , sneak a peek , strike a pose 00:10.442 --> 00:11.160 frag out . 00:29.600 --> 00:33.130 So today we are getting out of the 00:33.130 --> 00:35.580 actual hand grenade course . Uh So we 00:35.580 --> 00:37.830 can build confidence and lethality 00:37.840 --> 00:40.080 within our samurai soldiers . This is 00:40.080 --> 00:42.620 what we call would be called the actual 00:42.620 --> 00:45.560 CTE or culminating training event . Uh 00:45.570 --> 00:47.737 So for the past couple of weeks uh the 00:47.737 --> 00:49.950 organization has been training uh in a 00:49.960 --> 00:53.526 crawl walk run days and 00:53.526 --> 00:56.146 today is our one phase that has to go 00:56.146 --> 00:58.766 on the live hand grenades when we're 00:58.766 --> 01:00.877 doing base defense , we have soldiers 01:00.877 --> 01:03.136 actually having hand grenades on them . 01:03.146 --> 01:05.796 Uh And so in order to ensure soldiers 01:05.796 --> 01:08.074 know how to properly use hand grenades , 01:08.074 --> 01:10.296 we gotta train for it . And so in order 01:10.296 --> 01:12.426 to build the data that you have to 01:12.426 --> 01:15.056 ensure you build sets and reps and 01:15.056 --> 01:18.132 confidence uh and and to do that . You 01:18.132 --> 01:20.299 know , you got to come out and you got 01:20.299 --> 01:22.465 to do the hard work , you've got to do 01:22.465 --> 01:24.243 the planning and you got to get 01:24.243 --> 01:26.410 soldiers on the range . And so I think 01:26.410 --> 01:28.576 this is something a soldier will no no 01:28.576 --> 01:30.854 matter if they stay in until the E . T . 01:30.854 --> 01:33.021 S . Or if I have soldiers that stay in 01:33.021 --> 01:34.910 until they retire . Uh They won't 01:34.910 --> 01:34.892 forget this this day and they won't 01:34.892 --> 01:37.114 forget the opportunity of throwing live 01:37.114 --> 01:39.336 hand grenades and being ready if called 01:39.336 --> 01:41.910 upon this particular exercise is 01:41.910 --> 01:43.854 important for our unit because you 01:43.854 --> 01:45.966 never know when we have to get called 01:45.966 --> 01:48.021 to deploy the washer and it's always 01:48.021 --> 01:50.188 good to have this train underneath you 01:50.188 --> 01:53.850 built so that if you're in a situation 01:53.850 --> 01:56.128 where you have to do , you know how to , 01:56.128 --> 01:59.340 without having to rely on somebody else 01:59.340 --> 02:02.090 to do it for you . The best part of 02:02.090 --> 02:06.090 training is that um , you uh , you 02:06.090 --> 02:08.146 have people around you who know what 02:08.146 --> 02:09.868 they're doing so that you feel 02:09.868 --> 02:12.090 comfortable . So that was my first time 02:12.090 --> 02:14.146 throwing in some basic sense . I was 02:14.146 --> 02:16.368 kind of a little bit nervous but once I 02:16.368 --> 02:18.423 got down there remember the training 02:18.423 --> 02:20.930 that I received from Train that we did 02:20.930 --> 02:23.152 prior to this or I was comfortable with 02:23.152 --> 02:25.208 throwing grenades . It kind of gives 02:25.208 --> 02:27.430 you a rush . It gives me a rush because 02:27.430 --> 02:29.660 I like , so we are authorized 60 02:29.660 --> 02:32.200 grenades and there are 30 soldiers . So 02:32.200 --> 02:34.422 each soldier's is required to throw two 02:34.422 --> 02:36.644 grenades in order to become qualified . 02:36.644 --> 02:38.811 This is important for our unit because 02:38.811 --> 02:41.130 we want our unit or the talent to be 02:41.140 --> 02:44.280 lethal and dialed , we want our units 02:44.290 --> 02:48.180 to be ready if duty calls . So it is 02:48.180 --> 02:50.347 important for us to continue to ensure 02:50.347 --> 02:52.513 our soldiers are ready and comfortable 02:52.513 --> 02:54.736 basically executing these basic soldier 02:54.736 --> 02:56.958 skills that the army mandates is , it's 02:56.958 --> 03:00.530 very exciting . Um , and you know , get 03:00.530 --> 03:03.210 them more comfortably and built more 03:03.210 --> 03:06.040 confidence for the soldiers to be ready 03:06.180 --> 03:08.000 to engage at any time . 03:11.000 --> 03:13.250 We want to be prepared . If the nation 03:13.250 --> 03:15.590 calls even here in Japan were the only 03:15.590 --> 03:18.560 sustainment unit here in Japan on 03:18.560 --> 03:21.750 mainland Japan and if the nation calls 03:21.760 --> 03:24.680 the 35th CSS . B , sir , we'll be ready .
