00:00.070 --> 00:01.070
I did

00:05.530 --> 00:07.697
think that the sandbags would be worse

00:07.697 --> 00:09.863
because we're throwing it up literally

00:09.863 --> 00:11.919
above my head . Those ended up being

00:11.919 --> 00:13.863
pretty OK . They're just like feed

00:13.863 --> 00:15.974
sacks , so I was back to whenever I'm

00:15.974 --> 00:18.086
throwing feed for the horses . Um , I

00:18.086 --> 00:20.569
did know that the second run would

00:21.690 --> 00:23.912
because you're gassed and you're trying

00:23.912 --> 00:26.079
to catch your breath . A lot of people

00:26.079 --> 00:28.301
doubt themselves . I say that like they

00:28.301 --> 00:28.200
don't think they can do a lot of things ,

00:28.540 --> 00:31.610
but having others around they're going

00:31.610 --> 00:34.020
through the same thing you are and just

00:34.360 --> 00:36.580
have a different mindset and feeling

00:36.580 --> 00:40.279
about it pushes you more . So

00:40.419 --> 00:42.475
that's exactly what it is , it's the

00:42.475 --> 00:44.808
common suffering aspect , not just that ,

00:44.808 --> 00:46.586
but the camaraderie that of you

00:46.586 --> 00:49.270
cheering everybody on , um , but that

00:49.700 --> 00:51.644
when you , when you do something ,

00:51.729 --> 00:53.785
especially at annual training , it's

00:53.785 --> 00:55.896
famous for it . If it's raining while

00:55.896 --> 00:57.840
you're in the field , you're gonna

00:57.840 --> 01:00.479
remember that part more than just

01:00.479 --> 01:02.970
walking a ruck and it being completely

01:02.970 --> 01:05.730
peaceful and nice outside . That is

01:05.730 --> 01:07.841
what you're gonna , what you're gonna

01:07.841 --> 01:09.841
remember the most , and that's what

01:09.841 --> 01:11.786
makes memories . That's what makes

01:11.786 --> 01:14.063
people remember and be closer together .

01:14.370 --> 01:16.592
Beating with my sergeant , he pushed me

01:16.592 --> 01:18.370
the whole way through , kind of

01:18.370 --> 01:20.537
motivated me to keep going . Sometimes

01:20.537 --> 01:20.139
I wanna give up , but . He was just

01:20.139 --> 01:22.379
there behind me saying let's go . I

01:22.379 --> 01:24.569
have an awesome company commander ,

01:24.660 --> 01:26.716
Captain Toro , and then a lieutenant

01:26.716 --> 01:28.882
there , Lieutenant Greg . They're both

01:28.882 --> 01:30.993
awesome . They do everything they can

01:30.993 --> 01:33.160
for our company . Last night they were

01:33.160 --> 01:35.271
actually out here filling sandbags so

01:35.271 --> 01:37.493
that way her soldiers would not have to

01:37.493 --> 01:39.660
so they could take it this morning and

01:39.660 --> 01:41.771
it's just that's probably what I like

01:41.771 --> 01:41.290
most is just the people that I'm with

01:41.290 --> 01:43.389
at my unit . 25 .
