- I chose water because water is essential.
Back home, we take water for granted.
I'm a 92 whiskey.
I'm a water purification specialist.
^As a water purification specialist,
^what we do is we go out,
^we're place on sorta missions to purify water.
We find a source, we set up our equipment,
and we run the water through our systems.
- We purify water using reverse osmosis.
^Right now, we're attached to the 79th
^and we're basically put out here right now
to help purify water
and we're also gonna be distributing it as well.
So we're gonna be distributing to the BTC
and the decon site and everything.
- I would say that being a quartermaster soldier
is important.
You need support.
You need fuel.
You need water.
And those are two things, that a lot of people,
they don't even know where it comes from half the time.
And it brings joy to know that I did something that day.
It was effective.
So it's very valuable that we know exactly what we do
and now we get this extra training
so that whenever we have a bump and we face it
in the real-world situation, we're ready for it.
- [Male Soldier] Water is needed.
Something you can't live without.
Something you don't wanna go without.
And most definitely,
it's just one of the most important factors
we need just in everyday life.
- If something were to happen, you have soldiers there
who are dedicated to their job
that are out here in training away from their families
that we are here for you.
No matter what, as in the Houston situation,
where they didn't have water, we were there.
The soldiers were there.
So to know that we do what we do for the people,
not only for what we do but for everyday US civilians
as well.
