WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:00.810 Hey sir , 00:04.320 --> 00:06.380 we have a program where we put our 00:06.390 --> 00:08.223 brand new trainees are brand new 00:08.223 --> 00:10.279 student flight folks before they get 00:10.279 --> 00:12.501 ready to go to basic training . Um they 00:12.501 --> 00:14.501 go through our program so that when 00:14.501 --> 00:16.501 they go to san Antonio they hit the 00:16.501 --> 00:18.612 ground running . That's why we've got 00:18.612 --> 00:20.779 instructors running around and yelling 00:20.779 --> 00:23.001 and getting in their face . We do a lot 00:23.001 --> 00:22.650 of push ups and sit ups is designed to 00:22.650 --> 00:24.872 be centric on what they're going to see 00:24.872 --> 00:27.150 with training instructors at B . M . T . 00:27.150 --> 00:29.372 What we don't tell our students is that 00:29.372 --> 00:28.380 what we do here is harder than what 00:28.380 --> 00:30.158 they'll see A BMT . By far , my 00:30.158 --> 00:31.991 experience of basic training was 00:31.991 --> 00:34.158 actually pretty interesting . I was 33 00:34.158 --> 00:36.380 when I went to B . M . T . So I thought 00:36.380 --> 00:36.150 I had it all figured out . I thought 00:36.150 --> 00:38.372 that when I came to student flight that 00:38.372 --> 00:40.428 all the preparation that we had done 00:40.428 --> 00:42.483 was going to help me get through BMT 00:42.483 --> 00:44.483 without a without a problem . But I 00:44.483 --> 00:46.817 didn't realize is that when I got there , 00:46.817 --> 00:48.483 the pT was much harder than I 00:48.483 --> 00:50.428 anticipated . So I failed multiple 00:50.428 --> 00:52.483 times . I made a decision right then 00:52.483 --> 00:54.650 and there while I was dying on the P . 00:54.650 --> 00:56.706 T pad that when I graduated I'd come 00:56.706 --> 00:58.539 back and I would try to fix this 00:58.539 --> 01:00.872 program . I talked to the N . C . O . S . 01:00.872 --> 01:00.395 C . Of student flight at that time and 01:00.395 --> 01:02.562 I said , hey , if you don't mind , I'd 01:02.562 --> 01:04.673 like to take over the P . T . Program 01:04.673 --> 01:06.562 and volunteer my time and he said 01:06.562 --> 01:08.451 absolutely go ahead and do it . I 01:08.451 --> 01:10.562 didn't want anyone to feel that sense 01:10.562 --> 01:12.617 of helplessness like I did . This is 01:12.617 --> 01:14.673 this is one big family , this is one 01:14.673 --> 01:16.673 big team . Like we all have to work 01:16.673 --> 01:18.839 together to make sure that the mission 01:18.839 --> 01:18.280 gets accomplished . The dedication that 01:18.280 --> 01:20.447 he's put in has made it . So we've had 01:20.447 --> 01:22.391 zero pT failures in the last three 01:22.391 --> 01:24.502 years through BMT . The intensity and 01:24.502 --> 01:26.558 the training is important because it 01:26.558 --> 01:28.724 pushes these young trainees to go past 01:28.724 --> 01:30.780 their breaking point . The design of 01:30.780 --> 01:32.947 this workout is to show you where your 01:32.947 --> 01:34.947 where your line is , right ? It's a 01:34.947 --> 01:37.060 defined and expose that line and then 01:37.060 --> 01:39.282 show you that you can move past . It is 01:39.282 --> 01:40.949 that every failure is just an 01:40.949 --> 01:42.671 opportunity to succeed . So my 01:42.671 --> 01:44.782 impression so far this first drill is 01:44.782 --> 01:46.893 it definitely is nerve wracking , you 01:46.893 --> 01:49.116 know going into it . I wasn't sure what 01:49.116 --> 01:51.171 to expect totally . So I had to just 01:51.171 --> 01:53.282 learn as I was going . Um I just have 01:53.282 --> 01:55.282 to stay tough . No that it just all 01:55.282 --> 01:57.504 preparing me for basic and that it just 01:57.504 --> 01:56.980 pushed through and it'll for the best . 01:56.990 --> 01:59.350 So as a recruiter , when I'm looking 01:59.350 --> 02:01.183 for my applicants , I'm actually 02:01.183 --> 02:03.350 looking for those that want to be part 02:03.350 --> 02:05.461 of something bigger than themselves A 02:05.461 --> 02:07.794 lot of times they're like you know what , 02:07.794 --> 02:07.310 I've never worked out a day in my life 02:07.310 --> 02:09.270 and I'm like no worries , we will 02:09.270 --> 02:11.326 prepare you for basic training and I 02:11.326 --> 02:13.603 will personally come out to all your P . 02:13.603 --> 02:15.659 T . S . And I will work out with you 02:15.659 --> 02:17.659 before I went to basic training . I 02:17.659 --> 02:19.714 don't know what to expect . But here 02:19.714 --> 02:21.881 Sergeant Brazil was able to give us an 02:21.881 --> 02:24.214 idea of what was gonna happen . So my P . 02:24.214 --> 02:26.214 T . Scores did improve . Because of 02:26.214 --> 02:25.990 this , I was able to get Warhawk . 02:26.000 --> 02:28.250 Warhawk is when you get 100% on your PT 02:28.250 --> 02:28.750 test , 02:32.870 --> 02:34.981 we want to be just as fit to fight as 02:34.981 --> 02:37.037 our active duty counterparts . There 02:37.037 --> 02:39.092 shouldn't be any distinction between 02:39.092 --> 02:41.314 guard or active duty . We are one fit , 02:41.314 --> 02:44.350 one fight down , up 02:44.380 --> 02:45.440 down .
