00:00.759 --> 00:03.970
Bring the boat back to the house there

00:05.280 --> 00:07.710
right there . What the Spur Ride

00:07.719 --> 00:11.590
symbolizes is the transformation

00:11.600 --> 00:14.399
of a Calvary man from a rookie Calman

00:14.640 --> 00:18.040
to an experienced Calver through our

00:18.110 --> 00:21.549
trade craft and physical fitness . As

00:21.559 --> 00:23.503
Calgary organizations , we have to

00:23.503 --> 00:25.670
operate in a very unique environment .

00:25.670 --> 00:27.726
We have to connect with each other .

00:27.726 --> 00:29.837
There's a team cohesion portion of it

00:29.837 --> 00:33.025
that cannot be overlooked any time .

00:33.034 --> 00:35.534
You can , you can put in tradition on

00:35.544 --> 00:37.884
top of that . It adds a little bit more

00:37.895 --> 00:40.185
historical context to why it is that

00:40.194 --> 00:44.029
they're doing it . The unique thing

00:44.040 --> 00:46.459
about Calvary's formations is we are

00:46.470 --> 00:49.500
full of different M Os . We have scouts ,

00:49.509 --> 00:51.565
we have infantrymen , we have murder

00:51.565 --> 00:53.639
men , we have medical personnel and

00:53.650 --> 00:56.069
medics . We've got field artillery men ,

00:56.080 --> 00:58.302
we've got logisticians , we've got como

00:58.302 --> 01:00.024
specialists , just an array of

01:00.024 --> 01:03.060
different MS . You know , when you go

01:03.069 --> 01:05.236
out and you see some of the training ,

01:05.236 --> 01:07.569
you're immediately going to think . Wow ,

01:07.569 --> 01:09.736
they don't look very happy , but I can

01:09.736 --> 01:11.958
assure you in a way , I heard them kind

01:11.958 --> 01:13.958
of laughing and joking it out . The

01:13.958 --> 01:16.236
hardship brings people closer together .

01:16.236 --> 01:18.402
We've got all different types of , you

01:18.402 --> 01:20.513
know , national backgrounds . There's

01:20.513 --> 01:22.680
been a lot of learning that we've done

01:22.680 --> 01:24.680
from them and then there's a lot of

01:24.680 --> 01:26.902
learning that they've done from us . So

01:26.902 --> 01:28.902
bringing them into this very sacred

01:28.902 --> 01:31.349
ceremony and tradition for us . One ,

01:31.360 --> 01:33.471
it's building partnership , but two ,

01:33.471 --> 01:35.527
it's actually teaching them a little

01:35.527 --> 01:37.527
bit about our , in the 32nd Calvary

01:37.527 --> 01:39.582
regiment . There has not been a spur

01:39.582 --> 01:41.693
ride here in Hungary . And then as we

01:41.693 --> 01:43.916
transition into Slovakia , ever , we're

01:43.916 --> 01:46.379
excited to do it here and share the

01:46.389 --> 01:48.839
experience with our counterparts .

01:51.250 --> 01:53.250
So when you walk around and you see

01:53.250 --> 01:55.472
troopers that are wearing their spurs ,

01:55.472 --> 01:57.639
you know that not only are they a good

01:57.639 --> 01:59.694
team player , but they are also very

01:59.694 --> 02:02.300
good at their tradecraft or roaring

02:02.660 --> 02:03.860
fierce , you stop a bullet .
