00:09.130 --> 00:11.260
Quality food just affects mission

00:11.260 --> 00:13.371
regardless of what the mission is . A

00:13.371 --> 00:16.329
good meal has a way of softening your

00:16.329 --> 00:18.930
mood , and it's good for morale . The

00:18.930 --> 00:20.986
more gear you're carrying , the more

00:20.986 --> 00:23.097
calories you're burning , you have to

00:23.097 --> 00:25.263
eat . And you need your blood sugar up

00:25.263 --> 00:27.319
or your mentality struggles too . We

00:27.319 --> 00:29.486
have to be ready 24/7 . That's whether

00:29.486 --> 00:31.597
or not it's keeping MREs fully sacked

00:31.597 --> 00:34.229
or you know , pulling out the UGRs or

00:34.229 --> 00:36.396
like cooking that meal and bringing it

00:36.396 --> 00:38.562
together . But now that we're actually

00:38.562 --> 00:38.459
back , it's really cool because we're

00:38.459 --> 00:40.860
back in our element and we get to build

00:40.860 --> 00:42.971
that team again . Every drill we come

00:42.971 --> 00:45.027
in and we adapt and overcome to make

00:45.027 --> 00:47.520
the best meal . I think readiness looks

00:47.520 --> 00:50.389
like having a full staff , having

00:50.389 --> 00:52.556
operational equipment , and being able

00:52.556 --> 00:54.667
to prepare meals on time . All of the

00:54.667 --> 00:56.722
updates that we've had , it's been a

00:56.722 --> 00:59.520
lot of like machinery . We have also

00:59.520 --> 01:02.419
decided to have our chefs . I was part

01:02.419 --> 01:04.720
of service in the Marine Corps and I

01:04.720 --> 01:07.389
always really liked it when I had good

01:07.389 --> 01:10.040
food , so every day I try my best to

01:10.040 --> 01:12.096
make the best meal possible . Coming

01:12.096 --> 01:14.680
back to a good meal is just . It's kind

01:14.680 --> 01:15.800
of like home a little bit .
