WEBVTT

00:01.270 --> 00:04.410
we're competing for best weather right

00:04.410 --> 00:06.577
now . So we got a lot of people around

00:06.577 --> 00:08.910
the state competing against one another .

00:08.910 --> 00:10.966
Just uh just to bring the morale and

00:10.966 --> 00:13.132
then enjoy each other's company and do

00:13.132 --> 00:15.132
the best we can and supporting each

00:15.132 --> 00:17.299
other along the way . You come in here

00:17.299 --> 00:17.250
as the best where you , you actually

00:17.250 --> 00:19.083
beat people at a company level ,

00:19.083 --> 00:21.306
battalion level , then brigade and then

00:21.306 --> 00:23.306
you come here , then it's then it's

00:23.306 --> 00:25.306
humbling and then you realize where

00:25.306 --> 00:27.528
your place is at and then what you need

00:27.528 --> 00:29.583
to learn from point from here on out

00:29.583 --> 00:31.917
competing in the best world competition .

00:31.917 --> 00:34.083
It's it's a lot of stress mentally and

00:34.083 --> 00:36.250
physically . Um whether that be during

00:36.250 --> 00:38.472
the rock or the board . A lot of people

00:38.472 --> 00:40.472
have stand in front of the majors ,

00:40.472 --> 00:42.528
especially four or five of them at a

00:42.528 --> 00:44.583
time . But just the constant back to

00:44.583 --> 00:48.290
back events . It's stressful . Once you

00:48.290 --> 00:50.512
first come in it's it's intense and you

00:50.512 --> 00:52.679
meet all your competitor's then you're

00:52.679 --> 00:54.790
trying to figure each other out . But

00:54.790 --> 00:56.957
then once day one break stay two comes

00:56.957 --> 00:56.840
and then you're just friends , you're

00:56.840 --> 00:58.784
making jokes and you're commenting

00:58.784 --> 01:00.896
about , you know what you did and all

01:00.896 --> 01:02.951
the mistakes that happened . So it's

01:02.951 --> 01:05.173
it's it's the camaraderie and it's it's

01:05.173 --> 01:07.173
uplifting being around each other ,

01:07.290 --> 01:09.290
Every single one of us is trying to

01:09.290 --> 01:11.346
give it our all , I'm trying to give

01:11.346 --> 01:13.123
110% in every event . Trying to

01:13.123 --> 01:14.846
represent the unit , trying to

01:14.846 --> 01:16.846
represent the cow guard , trying to

01:16.846 --> 01:19.490
represent the U . S . Army as a whole ,

01:19.500 --> 01:23.230
so as the best non commissioned officer ,

01:23.230 --> 01:25.286
you've got to be willing to adapt to

01:25.286 --> 01:27.397
get to know your soldiers and and the

01:27.397 --> 01:29.563
environment itself . The biggest thing

01:29.563 --> 01:29.110
we were taught is to be able to

01:29.110 --> 01:31.370
overcome obstacles , adapt in any

01:31.370 --> 01:33.480
obstacles that come at you and learn

01:33.480 --> 01:35.630
from the bad and adapt to the good .

01:36.930 --> 01:39.097
Honestly this is like this is like the

01:39.097 --> 01:41.319
thrill , this is like the good stuff of

01:41.319 --> 01:43.541
the army right here . You know you want

01:43.541 --> 01:45.763
to find some good stuff . Do do some of

01:45.763 --> 01:47.986
the good stuff , challenge against some

01:47.986 --> 01:49.874
of the best soldiers out there in

01:49.874 --> 01:51.874
California and see what you got . I

01:51.874 --> 01:53.874
believe the competitions in general

01:53.874 --> 01:55.930
actually have in the spirit to court

01:55.930 --> 01:55.390
with , it brings up a spirit of core ,

01:55.390 --> 01:57.710
brings up camaraderie . Even with all

01:57.710 --> 01:59.654
of us , the N . C . O . S . Banded

01:59.654 --> 02:01.766
together when everything got tough on

02:01.766 --> 02:03.877
certain events , we started inspiring

02:03.877 --> 02:05.932
each other all even though we're all

02:05.932 --> 02:08.099
competitors were motivating each other

02:08.099 --> 02:10.580
all throughout it . No matter what you

02:10.580 --> 02:12.747
become a better soldier , it's given a

02:12.747 --> 02:14.691
chance to be better , it's given a

02:14.691 --> 02:16.802
chance to like to prove on to move on

02:16.802 --> 02:18.969
and then be a better person , a better

02:18.969 --> 02:18.740
soldier
