00:03.890 --> 00:05.723
I decided to compete in the 78 2

00:05.723 --> 00:07.890
command best world competition because

00:07.890 --> 00:10.112
I really want to challenge myself , not

00:10.112 --> 00:12.223
just to see how far I can get and how

00:12.223 --> 00:14.446
much I can push myself , but to see how

00:14.446 --> 00:14.109
I can push myself against other

00:14.119 --> 00:16.286
competitors that may have an edge over

00:16.286 --> 00:20.219
me , I decided to

00:20.229 --> 00:21.870
compete in the 78th best war

00:21.879 --> 00:24.010
competition . Um to give myself some

00:24.020 --> 00:26.131
opportunity in the National Guard . I

00:26.131 --> 00:28.298
wanted to get my name known and wanted

00:28.298 --> 00:30.298
a chance just to compete with other

00:30.298 --> 00:32.298
high level soldiers and do some fun

00:32.298 --> 00:36.240
task . I

00:36.250 --> 00:38.194
enjoy doing competitions like this

00:38.194 --> 00:40.250
because they ultimately show me , uh

00:40.250 --> 00:42.417
you know , you're tested on a range of

00:42.417 --> 00:44.694
events from warrior tasks with weapons ,

00:44.694 --> 00:46.917
medical to the physical events and they

00:46.917 --> 00:48.972
kind of show me where my weak points

00:48.972 --> 00:51.083
are in my training , right ? So maybe

00:51.083 --> 00:50.930
I'm doing really well in one area ,

00:51.110 --> 00:53.221
weaker in another . And that tells me

00:53.221 --> 00:55.332
over the next year , that's an area I

00:55.332 --> 00:54.450
want to work on .

01:00.590 --> 01:02.812
That's one of the good things about the

01:02.812 --> 01:04.868
National Guard Army . Um They always

01:04.868 --> 01:06.812
give you opportunities to grow and

01:06.812 --> 01:08.923
develop yourself . And I figured that

01:08.923 --> 01:08.860
this best warrior , best warrior

01:08.870 --> 01:10.814
conversation was just one of those

01:10.814 --> 01:12.814
opportunities that , um , that come

01:12.814 --> 01:14.981
with it . I decided to compete because

01:14.981 --> 01:17.148
I felt like it would help to better me

01:17.148 --> 01:16.389
as long as my and as well as the

01:16.400 --> 01:18.456
soldiers next to me and becoming , I

01:18.456 --> 01:19.844
guess our true potential

01:23.230 --> 01:24.230
five seconds .

01:30.680 --> 01:32.402
There's no better feeling than

01:32.402 --> 01:35.720
competing . No simple as that .
