00:00.159 --> 00:02.215
The event here today is the Maryland

00:02.215 --> 00:04.880
Municipal League . Um It's an event of

00:04.889 --> 00:07.056
just community leaders from around the

00:07.056 --> 00:09.167
state . They have all meet up for the

00:09.167 --> 00:11.278
cap engaging with these leaders . For

00:11.278 --> 00:13.445
this particular event is great because

00:13.445 --> 00:15.611
these are the people that are directly

00:15.611 --> 00:17.778
with the community , they're the small

00:17.778 --> 00:17.459
community leaders . Uh And that's who

00:17.469 --> 00:19.636
we are . So we're here at the Maryland

00:19.636 --> 00:21.913
Municipal League today as an exhibitor ,

00:21.913 --> 00:24.080
there are 900 exhibitors here . We are

00:24.080 --> 00:26.358
hoping to get a new recruits coming in .

00:26.358 --> 00:28.413
And in order to do that , we need to

00:28.413 --> 00:30.413
make the connections with the towns

00:30.413 --> 00:32.747
outside of the base by being here today ,

00:32.747 --> 00:34.358
I'm helping foster those new

00:34.358 --> 00:36.469
connections and relationships so that

00:36.469 --> 00:38.525
we can get the recruiters into those

00:38.525 --> 00:40.747
towns and into the schools and into all

00:40.747 --> 00:42.913
of the job markets that are outside of

00:42.913 --> 00:45.080
the base . We were able to engage with

00:45.080 --> 00:47.191
a lot of people um especially between

00:47.191 --> 00:49.358
today and then even the boardwalk wall

00:49.358 --> 00:49.250
being able to engage with the general

00:49.259 --> 00:51.315
public out on the shore . I actually

00:51.315 --> 00:53.270
love connecting with the public in

00:53.279 --> 00:55.279
those type of environments like the

00:55.279 --> 00:57.390
boardwalk , being able to present the

00:57.390 --> 00:59.279
Guard in our truest forms because

00:59.279 --> 01:01.501
everybody thinks it's citizen soldier ,

01:01.501 --> 01:01.119
they just think about the soldier . But

01:01.130 --> 01:03.186
that general person aspect out there

01:03.186 --> 01:05.352
just having fun , having conversations

01:05.352 --> 01:07.408
to just make that connection network

01:07.408 --> 01:09.630
with them and being able to just engage

01:09.630 --> 01:09.180
entirely .
