00:00.009 --> 00:01.990
OC Tim Petty . I'm with Second

00:02.000 --> 00:04.250
Battalion G fab , North Georgia State

00:04.260 --> 00:06.316
Defense Force . We are all volunteer

00:06.316 --> 00:08.260
force here to augment the National

00:08.260 --> 00:10.539
Guard and we are here to help with road

00:10.550 --> 00:13.300
clearing security as needed . And also

00:13.430 --> 00:15.430
pods which is handing out water and

00:15.430 --> 00:17.652
food to anyone who might be affected by

00:17.652 --> 00:19.708
the disaster so far with where we've

00:19.708 --> 00:21.930
been in the A O , I've seen hundreds of

00:21.930 --> 00:24.152
trees down hundreds of power lines down

00:24.450 --> 00:27.440
dozens of trees through roofs on cars .

00:27.450 --> 00:30.100
Uh pretty devastating . Uh I don't

00:30.110 --> 00:32.166
think I've seen anything this bad in

00:32.166 --> 00:34.388
quite a long time . There's still a lot

00:34.388 --> 00:36.443
of businesses with no power , no red

00:36.443 --> 00:38.610
lights , no street lights at night and

00:38.610 --> 00:40.721
they're under curfew . So it's pretty

00:40.721 --> 00:42.721
surreal . I love being able to be a

00:42.721 --> 00:44.777
part of this . Everybody here in the

00:44.777 --> 00:46.888
Guard has a job or is retired . We do

00:46.888 --> 00:49.221
this on the side and drill once a month ,

00:49.221 --> 00:51.388
just like the Reserves of the National

00:51.388 --> 00:53.554
Guard does . And when we deploy , it's

00:53.554 --> 00:55.666
normally to scenes like this and this

00:55.666 --> 00:57.832
is my first real world and I'm also an

00:57.832 --> 00:57.709
officer candidate . So I'm a team

00:57.720 --> 00:59.889
leader and it's uh it's really good

00:59.900 --> 01:01.844
feeling to be able to help my , my

01:01.844 --> 01:03.956
fellow Georgians out in their time of

01:03.956 --> 01:05.956
need and to be part of a force that

01:05.956 --> 01:08.011
trains well and works with the , the

01:08.011 --> 01:10.122
feds so we could come in and help you

01:10.122 --> 01:09.809
guys out .
