00:08.569 --> 00:11.050
Being a warrant officer to me means

00:11.050 --> 00:13.810
that you are the subject matter expert

00:13.810 --> 00:15.920
advocates for your community .

00:22.860 --> 00:24.916
My name is Chief Warrant Officer for

00:24.916 --> 00:26.916
Crystal Scott . I am the 2nd Marine

00:26.916 --> 00:28.693
Aircraft Wing Seaber operations

00:28.693 --> 00:29.693
coordinator .

00:39.319 --> 00:42.470
I hit the fleet in September of

00:42.470 --> 00:46.349
2005 . I get to the squadron HMM 364 ,

00:46.419 --> 00:48.697
the purple foxes , and they said , Hey ,

00:48.720 --> 00:51.919
uh , we need more aerial gunners . You

00:51.919 --> 00:54.086
ever flown in a helicopter ? And I was

00:54.086 --> 00:57.180
like , well , no . So my first flight ,

00:57.349 --> 00:58.790
our mission was Kazakh .

01:01.619 --> 01:03.580
That mission was one of the most

01:03.580 --> 01:06.129
fulfilling in my career .

01:08.949 --> 01:11.419
I think that everyone's experience is

01:11.419 --> 01:13.620
completely different . We all start in

01:13.620 --> 01:15.787
this pinball game , but as soon as you

01:15.787 --> 01:18.230
let that ball go , your story is never

01:18.230 --> 01:21.180
gonna be the same as anyone else's so I

01:21.180 --> 01:24.019
did my package and I remember .

01:25.519 --> 01:28.519
When the selection message came out and

01:28.519 --> 01:32.330
my name was on it . And I

01:32.330 --> 01:35.699
remember thinking I want to have more

01:35.699 --> 01:38.180
power to make change in this MOS

01:38.180 --> 01:39.624
because I truly love it .

01:42.349 --> 01:44.682
As far as the applications is concerned ,

01:44.682 --> 01:46.849
the best thing for a Marine to have is

01:46.849 --> 01:49.080
is strong fitness reports , uh , have

01:49.080 --> 01:51.136
great letters of recommendation from

01:51.136 --> 01:53.136
other warrant officers within their

01:53.136 --> 01:55.302
community , their immediate leadership

01:55.302 --> 01:57.302
or anyone that can advocate for how

01:57.302 --> 01:59.080
well they do within their MOS .

02:01.919 --> 02:03.940
If you stay in the Marine Corps ,

02:04.080 --> 02:06.191
you're going to have over that period

02:06.191 --> 02:08.399
of time , the most exceptional

02:08.399 --> 02:10.288
experience that you will not find

02:10.288 --> 02:10.550
anywhere else .
