WEBVTT

00:02.490 --> 00:06.150
Oh So our team's role is to construct

00:06.150 --> 00:08.560
an additional building for the Nong No

00:08.560 --> 00:11.319
Kien Samaki school um in the Pudong

00:11.319 --> 00:14.319
region , and this school is expanding

00:14.319 --> 00:16.375
because they need to accommodate for

00:16.375 --> 00:18.375
more students . Um , we are the VIP

00:18.375 --> 00:20.486
site . There's 5 different NCAP sites

00:20.486 --> 00:22.819
that are happening as a part of CORO 25 ,

00:22.819 --> 00:25.041
um , and this is just one of them , and

00:25.041 --> 00:27.263
it's a great project because we have to

00:27.263 --> 00:26.930
help the kids and make their facilities

00:26.930 --> 00:28.819
even better for their schooling .

00:32.279 --> 00:34.446
So I think it's an opportunity for our

00:34.446 --> 00:36.501
soldiers to not just have soldier on

00:36.501 --> 00:38.557
soldier interaction but also soldier

00:38.557 --> 00:40.501
with civilians , not just American

00:40.501 --> 00:42.557
civilians , but civilians around the

00:42.557 --> 00:44.779
world that America partners with . um I

00:44.779 --> 00:46.723
think it's also good for the local

00:46.723 --> 00:48.390
children and the community to

00:48.390 --> 00:50.612
understand that we're not just American

00:50.612 --> 00:52.723
soldiers but we're also humans , um ,

00:52.723 --> 00:52.349
and that allows to help with a better

00:52.349 --> 00:54.869
connection than just hey , these are

00:54.869 --> 00:57.036
soldiers that are in our country , but

00:57.036 --> 00:59.202
they're actually other individuals and

00:59.202 --> 01:01.313
humans that are helping us expand our

01:01.313 --> 01:03.591
education opportunities on site . Yeah ,

01:03.591 --> 01:05.647
I think we learn a lot because uh we

01:05.647 --> 01:07.869
come from different countries , we have

01:07.869 --> 01:10.040
different culture and uh at the same

01:10.040 --> 01:12.400
time , uh , we have our own way of

01:12.400 --> 01:15.360
doing things , and they all have their

01:15.360 --> 01:17.919
own way of doing things . So we kind of

01:17.919 --> 01:21.760
learning from each other . Cobra Gold

01:21.760 --> 01:23.927
is a really cool tradition . It's been

01:23.927 --> 01:26.149
going on since 1982 , um , and the fact

01:26.149 --> 01:28.371
that multi-generations of like military

01:28.371 --> 01:30.482
families and just the army in general

01:30.482 --> 01:32.260
gets to participate in this and

01:32.260 --> 01:34.482
continue that partnership with Thailand

01:34.482 --> 01:36.649
and other countries around the world ,

01:36.649 --> 01:38.871
um . It's really neat and I think it'll

01:38.871 --> 01:41.038
be something that our soldiers in this

01:41.038 --> 01:43.149
unit at NAP sites and just in Cobergo

01:43.149 --> 01:45.149
in general remember for the rest of

01:45.149 --> 01:44.760
their careers and probably for the rest

01:44.760 --> 01:45.389
of their lives .
