00:00.400 --> 00:03.009
Corporal William Fast . My M OS is a 14

00:03.019 --> 00:05.079
hotel is an early warning systems

00:05.090 --> 00:07.599
operator . So I did basic and a it at

00:07.610 --> 00:09.832
Fort Sill Oklahoma . I was stationed in

00:09.832 --> 00:12.054
Korea for a year at Suan Air Force Base

00:12.260 --> 00:14.260
and I've been at Fort Bliss for the

00:14.260 --> 00:16.350
last 3.5 years . I'm at Fort Jackson

00:16.360 --> 00:18.304
for the uh the future soldier prep

00:18.304 --> 00:20.416
course , we are briefing the trainees

00:20.416 --> 00:22.138
on air defense artillery , the

00:22.138 --> 00:24.729
capabilities we went into what each M

00:24.739 --> 00:27.190
Os does , what systems they use , the

00:27.200 --> 00:29.422
different kind of weapons that we use .

00:29.422 --> 00:31.486
They were about bonuses . Everyone

00:31.496 --> 00:33.552
loves money , everyone wants to know

00:33.552 --> 00:35.385
about bonuses . That's about the

00:35.385 --> 00:37.385
different locations that we go to .

00:37.385 --> 00:39.329
Mainly I would say South Korea and

00:39.329 --> 00:41.440
Germany and some of the trainees were

00:41.440 --> 00:43.496
interested in Italy too . They heard

00:43.496 --> 00:45.552
that the 14 Papas had just started a

00:45.552 --> 00:47.663
new unit over there . I feel that the

00:47.663 --> 00:49.774
prep course is very important for air

00:49.774 --> 00:51.885
defense because we are low on numbers

00:51.885 --> 00:54.107
and we're trying to double what we have

00:54.107 --> 00:56.163
within the next couple of years . So

00:56.163 --> 00:58.274
we're going to need a lot more troops

00:58.274 --> 01:00.385
to be there with us . A lot of people

01:00.385 --> 01:00.082
and the army don't know what air

01:00.091 --> 01:02.313
defense is . So that's why we're here .

01:02.313 --> 01:04.535
We're here to brief the cool stuff that

01:04.535 --> 01:06.647
we do . I've never done anything like

01:06.647 --> 01:08.842
this and I feel proud and accomplished

01:08.851 --> 01:11.018
that we were able to come out here and

01:11.018 --> 01:13.531
inform the trainees on air defense and

01:13.541 --> 01:15.708
maybe motivate them a little bit . And

01:15.708 --> 01:18.452
I know this course has been hard for

01:18.461 --> 01:20.739
them . This is completely new for them .

01:20.739 --> 01:22.850
I'm glad that I was just able to come

01:22.850 --> 01:24.961
here and give more information on air

01:24.961 --> 01:27.072
defense for the trainees to just give

01:27.072 --> 01:29.183
them a better idea of maybe what they

01:29.183 --> 01:28.012
want to do .
