00:17.690 --> 00:20.440
What's interesting about our unit is we

00:20.450 --> 00:22.829
can fully support ourselves everywhere

00:22.840 --> 00:25.299
from electrical work to plumbing work

00:25.309 --> 00:27.476
to horizontal work . We're almost like

00:27.476 --> 00:29.698
our own construction company , but most

00:29.698 --> 00:31.865
construction companies can only do one

00:31.865 --> 00:35.279
thing we can do all of this .

00:58.810 --> 01:01.459
So the horizontal engineers shape the

01:01.470 --> 01:03.369
earth by cutting and filling with

01:03.380 --> 01:06.970
dozers , loaders , skids and then they

01:06.980 --> 01:09.036
provide an area where we can build a

01:09.036 --> 01:12.160
structure off of it . The vertical

01:12.169 --> 01:14.169
engineers provide that structure by

01:14.169 --> 01:17.120
cutting , laying guac , making sure

01:17.129 --> 01:20.599
it's level plumb square and then

01:20.610 --> 01:22.832
everything past that until the building

01:22.832 --> 01:26.319
is hospitable . I'm specialist ,

01:26.330 --> 01:28.349
Gabriel Gin . I'm a carpenter and

01:28.360 --> 01:30.709
mainstream specialist in the 185th

01:30.720 --> 01:32.629
engineer support company . I'm

01:32.639 --> 01:34.806
currently pursuing a master's in civil

01:34.806 --> 01:37.080
engineering using the guard benefits to

01:37.089 --> 01:39.720
help pay for my education . Working

01:39.730 --> 01:41.508
here with this unit enhances my

01:41.508 --> 01:44.529
education by allowing me to get hands

01:44.540 --> 01:46.800
on experience and eyes on the ground

01:46.930 --> 01:49.529
for what works in design and what

01:49.540 --> 01:53.330
doesn't , what's unique about the

01:53.339 --> 01:55.506
engineers is we always get to create a

01:55.506 --> 01:57.879
physical tangible product . Something

01:57.889 --> 02:00.056
that for decades and decades after you

02:00.056 --> 02:02.056
can come back to look at and say to

02:02.056 --> 02:04.167
your family , hey I worked on this in

02:04.167 --> 02:05.480
the year 2024 .

02:11.029 --> 02:13.378
The cohesion in my unit is great . It's

02:13.389 --> 02:16.738
very close knit and it allows for

02:16.748 --> 02:19.768
mentorship on a granular level .

02:22.250 --> 02:26.059
The challenge that this work sort of

02:26.070 --> 02:29.080
presents you , I don't think it could

02:29.089 --> 02:31.360
be done without that support network

02:31.369 --> 02:32.758
that the unit provides .

02:37.149 --> 02:38.990
I'm not that very cool .
