Hi , I'm a private first class Mar .

00:05.869 --> 00:08.036
And today I'm getting promoted through

00:08.036 --> 00:09.758
the soldier referral program .

00:10.760 --> 00:14.149
Basically , you can refer a soldier if

00:14.159 --> 00:16.459
you are from E one to E three and you

00:16.469 --> 00:19.540
can get a promotion . You get a army

00:19.549 --> 00:21.659
recruiting ribbon as well as 10

00:21.670 --> 00:23.781
promotion points for every person you

00:23.781 --> 00:26.360
refer after I graduated . A I , I went

00:26.370 --> 00:28.930
to a home for hometown recruiting . I

00:28.940 --> 00:31.280
started talking to a bunch of buddies .

00:31.290 --> 00:33.123
I talked to him about the army ,

00:33.123 --> 00:34.957
different things you get on your

00:34.957 --> 00:37.068
contract , what type of jobs that are

00:37.068 --> 00:38.901
available and one of them seemed

00:38.901 --> 00:41.012
interested and he seemed to like it .

00:41.012 --> 00:43.068
So he joined and I got an email from

00:43.068 --> 00:45.346
the captain at that recruiting station .

00:45.346 --> 00:47.401
Thank you for referring this soldier

00:47.401 --> 00:49.290
and that I would get promoted and

00:49.290 --> 00:53.049
following up . Uh

00:53.060 --> 00:55.282
Well , I'm pretty excited about it . It

00:55.282 --> 00:57.282
uh saved a lot of time . Definitely

00:57.282 --> 00:59.338
because I've only been in for a year

00:59.338 --> 01:01.560
and three months instead of waiting for

01:01.560 --> 01:04.279
another uh nine months I get promoted

01:04.290 --> 01:04.639
now .
