00:01.360 --> 00:03.360
It's definitely been a blessing . I

00:03.360 --> 00:05.471
mean , I'm , I'm a true believer that

00:05.471 --> 00:07.527
the Marine Corps saved my life , and

00:07.527 --> 00:07.269
with me understanding and knowing that ,

00:07.360 --> 00:09.649
like , that causes me to give back

00:09.649 --> 00:11.316
constantly on a daily basis .

00:24.360 --> 00:26.471
And I also don't ever forget like the

00:26.471 --> 00:28.693
reasons why I joined the Marine Corps ,

00:28.693 --> 00:30.360
right ? And that was , that's

00:30.360 --> 00:32.027
multifaceted in itself , uh ,

00:32.027 --> 00:33.971
patriotism , you know , I wanted a

00:33.971 --> 00:36.729
better way of life for myself prior to

00:36.729 --> 00:38.896
how I was training before I joined the

00:38.896 --> 00:41.118
Marine Corps , the Marine Corps wants a

00:41.118 --> 00:44.880
marine that isn't just a 300 PFT or 300

00:44.880 --> 00:46.769
CFT . They want a marine that's ,

00:46.769 --> 00:48.936
that's well rounded in all aspects and

00:48.936 --> 00:51.490
those aspects of , you know , MOS uh

00:51.490 --> 00:54.130
credibility , right , knowledge . Um .

00:54.729 --> 00:57.729
Yes , physically fit , right ? Um , yes ,

00:57.810 --> 00:59.921
can they handle adversity when , when

00:59.921 --> 01:02.590
they're faced with it , um , in

01:02.590 --> 01:04.312
multiple different things , so

01:04.312 --> 01:07.449
multifaceted , uh , marine . I think

01:07.449 --> 01:09.505
that's the direction that we've been

01:09.505 --> 01:09.839
going in and we've been doing well .
