00:00.649 --> 00:03.289
Ok . Uh I am a sergeant . My name is uh

00:03.299 --> 00:06.400
Michael Ryan Robinson and my dod is

00:06.539 --> 00:10.220
1556410 , sorry unit . So sorry ,

00:10.680 --> 00:13.270
I'm with uh H AC U Seo at Fort Wachuka .

00:15.130 --> 00:18.590
Yeah . Yeah . Well , what it means to

00:18.600 --> 00:20.620
me to be all you can be is in the

00:20.629 --> 00:23.610
question in itself is when you , you

00:23.620 --> 00:25.676
know , obviously in the army we have

00:25.676 --> 00:27.898
different variety of jobs . But I think

00:27.898 --> 00:30.009
there is a reason why we have to come

00:30.009 --> 00:29.979
through basic training and through

00:29.989 --> 00:32.211
trade first is because we need to learn

00:32.211 --> 00:34.433
the principles of being a United States

00:34.433 --> 00:36.600
army soldier , being all you can be is

00:36.600 --> 00:38.878
becoming an expert in these , you know ,

00:39.259 --> 00:41.830
basic principles of the things we are

00:41.840 --> 00:44.130
trained and such as , uh you know , um

00:44.139 --> 00:46.049
combat operations , um you know ,

00:46.060 --> 00:48.227
weapons maintenance and things of that

00:48.227 --> 00:50.227
nature . So I think just taking the

00:50.227 --> 00:52.338
time to not only be an expert in your

00:52.338 --> 00:54.393
field , but then to go back to these

00:54.393 --> 00:56.504
fundamentals is , is really important

00:56.504 --> 00:55.930
and I think that's what it means to be

00:55.939 --> 00:59.700
all you can be uh as a

00:59.709 --> 01:01.876
team , uh you know , starting out . Uh

01:01.876 --> 01:03.876
we , we felt really good . Uh , you

01:03.876 --> 01:05.876
know , um , unfortunately , we're ,

01:05.876 --> 01:08.153
we're not in the running for the badge .

01:08.153 --> 01:07.970
However , I think we're doing very well .

01:07.980 --> 01:10.202
We're , we're getting a lot of learning

01:10.202 --> 01:12.369
experience for uh future endeavors and

01:12.369 --> 01:14.536
for another opportunity to go for this

01:14.536 --> 01:17.319
badge . There you go . Perfect . So how

01:17.339 --> 01:19.506
are you strengthen the army profession

01:19.506 --> 01:22.010
by being here ? And I think we're

01:22.019 --> 01:24.019
strengthening the army profession ,

01:24.019 --> 01:26.241
kind of , as I said before , you know ,

01:26.241 --> 01:28.463
by learning these basic fundamentals of

01:28.463 --> 01:30.241
what we are required to do . Uh

01:30.241 --> 01:32.186
entering trade a and going through

01:32.186 --> 01:35.059
basic train is um is by

01:35.809 --> 01:37.865
being here and competing . I feel we

01:37.865 --> 01:39.976
are strengthening the army profession

01:39.976 --> 01:42.720
by just retraining on these uh basic

01:42.730 --> 01:45.300
fundamentals of combat operations and

01:45.309 --> 01:48.040
just um so how are you strengthen the

01:48.059 --> 01:50.379
army profession ? I feel we're

01:50.389 --> 01:52.500
strengthening the armed profession by

01:52.500 --> 01:54.556
being through this competition is um

01:54.556 --> 01:56.769
just uh you know , re reengaging these

01:56.779 --> 01:58.946
basic fundamentals that we received in

01:58.946 --> 02:01.360
our army trade do . And uh just by uh

02:01.370 --> 02:03.426
learning what it means to be an army

02:03.426 --> 02:06.599
soldier fan him , my feeling about this

02:06.610 --> 02:08.666
competition is I'm very grateful for

02:08.666 --> 02:10.721
the opportunity , you know , as a hr

02:10.721 --> 02:12.888
specialist , I don't feel I really get

02:12.888 --> 02:16.770
much opportunity to get into this

02:16.779 --> 02:18.890
environment , you know , these things

02:18.890 --> 02:21.057
of training and combat operations . So

02:21.057 --> 02:23.168
it's a really great opportunity to be

02:23.168 --> 02:25.335
able to do this sweet , take a picture

02:25.335 --> 02:24.309
of
