WEBVTT

00:01.340 --> 00:02.340
Yeah ,

00:05.640 --> 00:07.862
like when you joined the Marine Corps ,

00:07.862 --> 00:10.029
you always hear about the Navy and the

00:10.029 --> 00:12.251
Marine Corps team . And so I really did

00:12.251 --> 00:11.820
think that it was , it would be a great

00:11.820 --> 00:13.820
opportunity to get out and see what

00:13.820 --> 00:15.987
that was all about . A lot of times we

00:15.987 --> 00:18.209
as marines , you know , you kind of get

00:18.209 --> 00:20.264
focused on land based operations and

00:20.264 --> 00:22.320
you kind of forget your heritage and

00:22.320 --> 00:25.540
that we're a naval force . Yeah . Yeah .

00:30.040 --> 00:31.929
The most difficult thing I had to

00:31.929 --> 00:33.984
adjust to being on ship mentally was

00:33.984 --> 00:36.151
learning to land the aircraft onto the

00:36.151 --> 00:38.318
ship is totally different than landing

00:38.318 --> 00:40.484
an aircraft on regular land . The ship

00:40.484 --> 00:42.651
is always moving . You got to maintain

00:42.651 --> 00:42.580
that movement with the ship and the

00:42.580 --> 00:44.747
ship is always rocking . So you got to

00:44.747 --> 00:47.770
make sure your main said the , my name

00:47.770 --> 00:49.580
is corporal eric escobar flight

00:49.580 --> 00:51.469
equipment technician slash aerial

00:51.469 --> 00:53.580
observer with the mm 165 reinforced .

00:59.940 --> 01:03.680
Mhm . It was a new experience . I've

01:03.680 --> 01:05.847
never had to work with the Navy and it

01:05.847 --> 01:07.902
was fun . They were super helpful as

01:07.902 --> 01:10.069
far as helping his tour aircraft chock

01:10.069 --> 01:12.180
and chain us when we're coming down .

01:12.180 --> 01:14.236
The tower helps a lot whenever we're

01:14.236 --> 01:16.124
trying to get up and take off for

01:16.124 --> 01:18.236
flights and they maneuver the boat to

01:18.236 --> 01:20.347
give certain winds so we can actually

01:20.347 --> 01:20.180
take off and not being some dangerous

01:20.180 --> 01:22.650
winds . Yeah ,

01:23.040 --> 01:26.880
so we were with the airline personnel

01:26.880 --> 01:29.320
every single day . They coincide with

01:29.320 --> 01:31.153
us , uh we're out here working ,

01:31.153 --> 01:33.209
they're out here working with us and

01:33.209 --> 01:32.850
they're super helpful .

01:58.440 --> 02:00.662
My favorite part about working with the

02:00.662 --> 02:02.829
Navy is just getting back to our naval

02:02.829 --> 02:04.884
routes . Working with the Navy being

02:04.884 --> 02:07.107
like the marines back in 70 75 being on

02:07.107 --> 02:06.890
the boats , being the rifleman

02:06.890 --> 02:09.112
protecting the Navy , taking the ship .

02:09.112 --> 02:12.730
Like we used to do . The beauty of the

02:12.730 --> 02:14.990
argue is that in addition to our

02:14.990 --> 02:16.934
aviation assets , we have a lot of

02:16.934 --> 02:19.480
surface assets and that allows us to

02:19.480 --> 02:21.910
operate from ship to shore , from shore

02:21.910 --> 02:24.610
to ship and from ship to ship and shore

02:24.610 --> 02:25.610
to shore .

02:33.440 --> 02:35.990
Yeah , integration with marines is

02:35.990 --> 02:38.101
important because the marines are for

02:38.101 --> 02:40.101
more fighting for us . They are the

02:40.101 --> 02:42.212
front lines in any war that we fought

02:42.212 --> 02:44.101
over the past 40 years . And even

02:44.101 --> 02:45.879
further than that , our biggest

02:45.879 --> 02:47.823
integration is we can provide more

02:47.823 --> 02:50.580
firepower at faster speeds to get more

02:50.580 --> 02:51.747
marines to the fight

02:55.440 --> 02:57.607
ship to shore operations are important

02:57.607 --> 02:59.773
as they are . The primary focus of the

02:59.773 --> 03:01.900
marines are marines are amphibious

03:01.900 --> 03:03.910
landing forces . Anytime we start a

03:03.920 --> 03:06.031
fight , our marines are first there .

03:06.031 --> 03:08.198
So to get them on the beach as fast as

03:08.198 --> 03:10.420
it means we're saving more marine lives

03:10.420 --> 03:12.587
and we're protecting other civilians .

03:15.940 --> 03:16.940
Yeah .

03:20.340 --> 03:21.340
Yeah .

03:24.840 --> 03:25.840
Yeah .

03:31.340 --> 03:33.507
T mark readiness and excellence . It's

03:33.507 --> 03:35.507
not just a phrase . It's not just a

03:35.507 --> 03:37.673
motto here for the 11th meeting . It's

03:37.673 --> 03:39.673
something that we obtain on a daily

03:39.673 --> 03:40.673
basis . Yeah .

03:51.740 --> 03:52.740
Mhm .

03:56.740 --> 03:57.740
Yeah .

04:01.840 --> 04:02.840
Yeah .

04:09.540 --> 04:12.650
Oh . Mhm .
