Hi , everyone . I'm Petty Officer James

00:02.731 --> 00:04.898
King , maritime enforcement specialist

00:04.898 --> 00:07.065
at MS RT West . And I've recently been

00:07.070 --> 00:09.181
selected as the Coast Guards enlisted

00:09.181 --> 00:11.420
person of the year . I feel truly

00:11.430 --> 00:13.430
honored to be selected as the Coast

00:13.430 --> 00:15.652
Guards enlisted person of the year . It

00:15.652 --> 00:17.819
really reflects the work that not only

00:17.819 --> 00:19.763
that myself has done but also what

00:19.763 --> 00:21.986
everyone that I work with here at MS RT

00:21.986 --> 00:24.208
West has done . What keeps me motivated

00:24.208 --> 00:26.319
to do the work that I do is seeing my

00:26.319 --> 00:28.486
fellowship mates be the best that they

00:28.486 --> 00:30.708
can be regardless of what they're doing

00:30.708 --> 00:30.469
here at the unit , really be

00:30.479 --> 00:32.630
operationally logistically fitness

00:32.639 --> 00:34.917
related . I just want people to be the ,

00:34.917 --> 00:36.972
uh the best that they can be when it

00:36.972 --> 00:39.028
comes to the people that have me and

00:39.028 --> 00:40.861
inspired me throughout my life .

00:40.861 --> 00:40.639
There's too many people to name . I

00:40.650 --> 00:42.889
just wanna say thank you everyone for

00:42.900 --> 00:44.900
helping me to become the man . I am

00:44.900 --> 00:47.122
today told my fellow shipmates , I just

00:47.122 --> 00:49.122
wanna say if you have any skills or

00:49.122 --> 00:51.289
abilities that you came into the Coast

00:51.289 --> 00:53.511

00:53.511 --> 00:55.511
