1
00:00:00,755 --> 00:00:04,755
(chaotic gunfire and screaming)

2
00:00:05,337 --> 00:00:07,254
- Today, we're finishing up our DFT,

3
00:00:07,254 --> 00:00:08,319
deployment for training,

4
00:00:08,319 --> 00:00:10,405
and we just conducted our company attacks.

5
00:00:10,405 --> 00:00:11,260
Leading up to this,

6
00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:14,362
we conducted platoon and squad level attacks.

7
00:00:14,362 --> 00:00:15,339
- All the platoons,

8
00:00:15,339 --> 00:00:17,743
and all the squads had to work together

9
00:00:17,743 --> 00:00:19,906
in order to make sure each different platoon

10
00:00:19,906 --> 00:00:24,073
took the three different objectives we had to take today.

11
00:00:24,116 --> 00:00:25,882
- It's good to get that teamwork built

12
00:00:25,882 --> 00:00:27,016
throughout the company

13
00:00:27,016 --> 00:00:30,433
doing these large live fire skill events.

14
00:00:30,770 --> 00:00:33,520
(gunfire echoes)

15
00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:37,072
What drives my desire to be a better squad leader

16
00:00:37,072 --> 00:00:38,666
is the younger generation of Marine.

17
00:00:38,666 --> 00:00:40,793
I need to be proficient in my job,

18
00:00:40,793 --> 00:00:42,426
and always be getting better,

19
00:00:42,426 --> 00:00:43,528
so that I can make those guys,

20
00:00:43,528 --> 00:00:44,511
the younger guys,

21
00:00:44,511 --> 00:00:45,761
better as well.

22
00:00:45,858 --> 00:00:48,608
(gunfire echoes)

23
00:00:50,139 --> 00:00:51,056
I'm 25 now,

24
00:00:51,366 --> 00:00:53,130
and when I was 18, 19,

25
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:54,112
coming up in the infantry,

26
00:00:54,112 --> 00:00:55,590
I would always look to my squad leader,

27
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:56,736
and he would be one of those guys,

28
00:00:56,736 --> 00:00:58,403
a role model for me.
