00:00.079 --> 00:02.970
Akoto High School helping out with the

00:02.970 --> 00:04.849
Guam Who Island annual drill

00:04.849 --> 00:06.960
competition for 2026 . The objectives

00:06.960 --> 00:09.930
of today's event is to build discipline

00:09.930 --> 00:11.819
and camaraderie into our youngest

00:12.449 --> 00:14.449
members of society . Whether or not

00:14.449 --> 00:16.616
they join the military , this is still

00:16.616 --> 00:18.782
a really developmental event for these

00:18.782 --> 00:20.671
young men and women . You have an

00:20.671 --> 00:19.930
opportunity to provide a lot of

00:19.930 --> 00:22.041
mentorship . The things that we point

00:22.041 --> 00:24.263
out during and To their evaluations are

00:24.263 --> 00:26.430
the things that they're going to focus

00:26.430 --> 00:28.652
on developing as they go forward . What

00:28.652 --> 00:30.708
we really try to look for is how the

00:30.708 --> 00:30.235
students perform , not just those

00:30.235 --> 00:32.513
little are the heels online ? Are they ,

00:32.513 --> 00:34.513
are they yelling loudly ? It's what

00:34.513 --> 00:36.791
kind of confidence are they portraying .

00:36.825 --> 00:38.881
My favorite part about today's event

00:38.881 --> 00:41.154
are the highs and lows . When a team

00:41.154 --> 00:43.210
finishes and they can tell that they

00:43.210 --> 00:45.376
did well and they're all excited , the

00:45.376 --> 00:47.710
family is cheering . But not just those ,

00:47.710 --> 00:49.765
also those hard moments where a team

00:49.765 --> 00:51.765
doesn't do so well , they feel it ,

00:51.765 --> 00:53.987
they know it , and they kind of have to

00:53.987 --> 00:56.043
take that punch and roll with it and

00:56.043 --> 00:57.987
refocus for the next event because

00:57.987 --> 00:58.759
those lows are incredibly developmental .
