00:27.600 --> 00:29.711
I believe the most valuable aspect of

00:29.711 --> 00:31.767
our best warrior competition lies in

00:31.767 --> 00:33.989
its ability to challenge and expand the

00:33.989 --> 00:36.100
capabilities and the lethality of our

00:36.100 --> 00:37.267
NC Os and soldiers .

01:06.930 --> 01:09.319
I think , um as far as competing here

01:09.330 --> 01:11.809
at the regional level , especially uh

01:11.819 --> 01:14.220
some things that just help me to be a

01:14.230 --> 01:16.550
leader . Um One big thing is you're

01:16.559 --> 01:18.892
just being around these guys , you know ,

01:18.892 --> 01:18.860
you were around the best of the best

01:18.870 --> 01:20.814
right here . Each of the 10 states

01:20.814 --> 01:22.870
territories sent their best , you're

01:22.870 --> 01:24.870
around their best , I think kind of

01:24.870 --> 01:26.926
iron sharpens iron . Those are who ,

01:26.926 --> 01:29.037
who you're around , that's who you're

01:29.037 --> 01:27.790
gonna act like .

01:41.209 --> 01:44.010
So tonight the competitors will

01:44.019 --> 01:47.239
experience some dense terrain , uh some

01:47.250 --> 01:50.379
muddy conditions , um A lot of thorns

01:50.389 --> 01:53.639
and branches , but overall the course

01:53.650 --> 01:56.919
this course is very good . Um Myself

01:56.930 --> 01:59.129
and Lieutenant Kogan went out earlier

01:59.139 --> 02:01.209
today before the con the competitors

02:01.220 --> 02:03.400
got here and actually went out and

02:03.410 --> 02:05.480
found five points or so , just to

02:05.489 --> 02:07.767
confirm that everything was good to go .

02:07.809 --> 02:09.865
So overall , I think it's gonna be a

02:09.865 --> 02:12.779
good teaching experience and a good

02:12.789 --> 02:14.900
check on learning to ensure that this

02:14.900 --> 02:18.139
perishable skill of land nav does not ,

02:18.149 --> 02:20.169
um does not go away .

02:54.440 --> 02:56.589
Uh So today is the uh combat water

02:56.600 --> 02:59.630
survival uh training . It is a 50 m

02:59.639 --> 03:02.020
swim using a two stroke method , either

03:02.029 --> 03:04.589
the breaststroke or the uh side stroke .

03:04.600 --> 03:06.767
They're jumping in with a uh uh just a

03:06.767 --> 03:09.789
bear flick or cat system as well as a

03:09.800 --> 03:13.080
uh M four A uh training aid .

03:36.419 --> 03:38.586
This competition is meant to push them

03:38.586 --> 03:40.697
beyond their limits and foster growth

03:40.697 --> 03:42.641
in leadership , physical fitness ,

03:42.641 --> 03:44.530
tactical skills , and operational

03:44.530 --> 03:47.559
excellence and mental resiliency . This

03:47.570 --> 03:49.848
event is not just about the individual ,

03:50.179 --> 03:52.401
it enhances our collective readiness as

03:52.401 --> 03:54.235
a National Guard . It builds our

03:54.235 --> 03:56.290
camaraderie amongst our forces , not

03:56.290 --> 03:58.235
just within a state but across our

03:58.235 --> 03:57.639
region

04:14.410 --> 04:16.410

Everyone busy already aventure .

05:07.489 --> 05:08.878
All right . So welcome .

05:37.070 --> 05:39.390
It's always important to put our best

05:39.399 --> 05:41.621
foot forward and show that , you know ,

05:41.621 --> 05:43.920
the United States is here . We are a

05:43.929 --> 05:47.320
global player and whether it's on our

05:47.329 --> 05:49.769
own soil or around the world , you know ,

05:49.779 --> 05:51.557
we're , we're here to share our

05:51.557 --> 05:53.390
knowledge , share our experience

05:53.390 --> 05:55.446
because it's something we could do .

05:55.446 --> 05:57.279
And I believe firmly that that's

05:57.279 --> 05:59.279
something that's beneficial for our

05:59.279 --> 05:58.920
nation .

06:32.179 --> 06:35.179
But what I can say is that establishing

06:35.190 --> 06:37.709
good relationships with other countries ,

06:37.720 --> 06:40.609
strengthens our bond towards a better

06:40.619 --> 06:41.619
world .

06:57.230 --> 06:59.397
So this gives me a huge opportunity to

06:59.397 --> 07:01.730
come here and , uh , represent my state .

07:01.769 --> 07:03.880
I'm , I love Mississippi as my home .

07:04.170 --> 07:06.226
The Mississippi National Guard is my

07:06.226 --> 07:07.726
home . They're my family .
