00:05.809 --> 00:07.865
Marine recruiting duty is one of the

00:07.865 --> 00:10.087
toughest jobs you can have , and that's

00:10.087 --> 00:11.976
because you face opposition . Not

00:11.976 --> 00:14.142
everybody you talk to , in fact , most

00:14.142 --> 00:16.365
people that a marine recruiter talks to

00:16.365 --> 00:18.365
doesn't want to do this and doesn't

00:18.365 --> 00:18.040
understand what the requirement is ,

00:18.209 --> 00:20.320
doesn't understand the culture of the

00:20.320 --> 00:21.987
poor or any of those things .

00:24.819 --> 00:26.930
Today we're out here supporting , you

00:26.930 --> 00:28.930
know , looking for future Marines ,

00:28.930 --> 00:30.986
people to serve alongside us and you

00:30.986 --> 00:33.041
know , just showing face and showing

00:33.041 --> 00:35.263
the the American public what the Marine

00:35.263 --> 00:37.569
Corps is about . It's a special moment .

00:37.630 --> 00:39.630
I , I love watching the people that

00:39.630 --> 00:41.852
come through our office and seeing what

00:41.852 --> 00:43.908
they ultimately become in transition

00:43.908 --> 00:46.074
into and it's always great to catch up

00:46.074 --> 00:48.639
with the familiar face . So the CMAs

00:48.639 --> 00:50.861
are going on here in downtown Nashville

00:50.861 --> 00:52.695
and the Marine Corps is out here

00:52.695 --> 00:54.861
showing the community what we can do ,

00:54.861 --> 00:57.028
showing them all these static displays

00:57.028 --> 00:56.880
of some of our equipment and gear that

00:56.880 --> 00:59.047
we use daily , showing them everything

00:59.047 --> 01:00.880
that we're capable of . I've had

01:00.880 --> 01:02.880
several good interactions this week

01:02.880 --> 01:05.102
with the community . It makes me feel a

01:05.102 --> 01:07.269
good sense of pride for myself and the

01:07.269 --> 01:09.436
Marine Corps as a whole , and it means

01:09.436 --> 01:09.120
everything to me to come back here to

01:09.120 --> 01:11.760
Tennessee to show everyone here that no

01:11.760 --> 01:13.982
matter where you're from , you can make

01:13.982 --> 01:13.489
it as a Marine .
