00:00.040 --> 00:02.910
captain Paul Cobb , chaplain with the

00:02.910 --> 00:05.132
California State Guard , currently with

00:05.132 --> 00:07.077
the 79th Support attachment out of

00:07.077 --> 00:08.910
Kerney Mesa . Right now we're in

00:08.910 --> 00:11.077
Tollhouse , California at the incident

00:11.077 --> 00:12.966
Command post for the Creek Fire ,

00:12.966 --> 00:15.299
located right now in Sierra High School .

00:15.299 --> 00:17.290
Were here right now supporting Cal

00:17.290 --> 00:19.600
Fire's efforts to control the the Creek

00:19.600 --> 00:21.544
fire . The challenges that we have

00:21.544 --> 00:23.489
faced so far have been just moving

00:23.489 --> 00:25.930
around to see the troops as much as we

00:25.930 --> 00:27.930
can . Um , those have been our main

00:27.930 --> 00:30.810
challenges So far . We've learned that

00:30.820 --> 00:32.820
no two days are the same , that the

00:32.820 --> 00:34.653
mission could change at the at a

00:34.653 --> 00:36.876
moments notice . So it's it's important

00:36.876 --> 00:38.876
for us to be very flexible . It has

00:38.876 --> 00:40.542
made us feel more part of the

00:40.542 --> 00:42.598
California National Guard mission on

00:42.598 --> 00:44.780
supporting the troops on it makes us

00:44.780 --> 00:46.947
feel like we have an integral role and

00:46.947 --> 00:49.280
providing a spiritual religious support .

00:49.280 --> 00:51.002
Um , for our troops , the best

00:51.002 --> 00:54.130
opportunity is morning . Uh , when

00:54.130 --> 00:56.352
After they do their morning routine and

00:56.352 --> 00:58.241
prior to heading out and then the

00:58.241 --> 01:00.408
evening time , Uh , when they get back

01:00.408 --> 01:00.300
and they're doing their evening routine ,

01:00.310 --> 01:02.690
those are the two most important times

01:02.700 --> 01:05.310
that we're able to interact and provide

01:05.310 --> 01:08.250
any type of support . I feel blessed .

01:08.250 --> 01:10.560
Andi . I feel feel it's an honor and

01:10.560 --> 01:13.240
privilege to be here to support them

01:13.240 --> 01:15.430
and whatever , whatever aspect , in

01:15.430 --> 01:16.660
whatever way they need .
