WEBVTT 00:01.020 --> 00:03.510 participating in the C . I . O . Our 00:03.520 --> 00:05.530 military competition . It was an 00:05.530 --> 00:07.970 amazing life changing experience . 00:08.510 --> 00:12.130 Being a part of team . UsA has sent me 00:12.130 --> 00:15.550 on a new trajectory within my career . 00:15.560 --> 00:19.320 It was three weeks of full access to 00:19.330 --> 00:21.940 world class trainers who daily and 00:21.940 --> 00:24.530 voluntarily showed us how to think like 00:24.530 --> 00:27.810 and to be champions . They genuinely 00:27.820 --> 00:31.600 wanted to see me succeed . We also 00:31.600 --> 00:34.890 were a team of divers teammates , 00:34.900 --> 00:37.990 diverse in backgrounds and diverse 00:38.215 --> 00:41.715 thinking who are literally representing 00:41.715 --> 00:44.485 the best of the reserves . We also 00:44.495 --> 00:46.825 gained insight into how our allied 00:46.825 --> 00:49.795 partner nations trained and their 00:49.795 --> 00:52.065 training methodologies . It wasn't just 00:52.065 --> 00:55.035 about competing in a competition with 00:55.045 --> 00:58.065 physical challenges but it was also 00:58.075 --> 01:01.210 very much a leader development . I know 01:01.220 --> 01:04.850 my life and my my army career is as a 01:04.850 --> 01:07.230 result of all of this , just done an 01:07.230 --> 01:10.120 entirely different trajectory . I 01:10.120 --> 01:12.070 learned a lot about myself and I 01:12.070 --> 01:14.126 learned a lot about leadership and I 01:14.126 --> 01:16.440 learned a lot about how to be a team 01:16.440 --> 01:19.370 member and what it means to be part of 01:19.370 --> 01:22.490 a really great team representing the U . 01:22.490 --> 01:25.110 S . Army reserves and United States of 01:25.110 --> 01:26.220 America
