00:11.850 --> 00:13.989
specialist and my job is basically

00:14.000 --> 00:16.540
taking care of the soldiers and helping

00:16.549 --> 00:19.219
them with any family issues , like ,

00:19.229 --> 00:22.690
you know , awards if there's casualties

00:22.700 --> 00:25.033
while we're deployed , any deploy state .

00:25.700 --> 00:26.922
And I'm there to help

00:36.080 --> 00:38.413
weapon . So I'm here qualifying with it .

00:39.700 --> 00:42.279
Favorite part about shooting . Uh , you

00:42.290 --> 00:44.290
don't get to do it every day . Some

00:44.290 --> 00:46.520
people do , but I don't and , uh , I

00:46.580 --> 00:48.691
don't know , it's just the experience

00:48.691 --> 00:50.802
being able to carry a weapon and know

00:50.802 --> 00:52.969
how to handle it and then , you know ,

00:52.969 --> 00:54.990
the excitement of how to shoot such

00:55.000 --> 00:57.056
safety go down , you know , all that

00:57.056 --> 00:59.167
fun stuff . It's pretty enjoyable for

00:59.167 --> 01:02.110
the most part . Um , I kind of , I'm

01:02.119 --> 01:04.175
very competitive as well , so I like

01:04.175 --> 01:06.230
having a really high score . It just

01:06.230 --> 01:08.819
boosts me . So I , that's kind of what

01:08.830 --> 01:11.163
I go there and do to shoot a high score ,

01:11.163 --> 01:13.970
qualifying with a weapon . It's , um ,

01:16.610 --> 01:18.666
it's something that has to be done ,

01:18.666 --> 01:20.610
you know , we are there to for the

01:20.610 --> 01:22.860
people . So our job as for the people

01:22.870 --> 01:25.110
is to protect them and a weapon being

01:25.120 --> 01:27.231
able to qualify , not only shows that

01:27.231 --> 01:29.453
you're able to handle it , but it shows

01:29.453 --> 01:30.699
that you are able to protect and serve .
