 U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Enrique Velazquez, a senior drill instructor with First Recruit Training Battalion, Recruit Training Regiment, Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California. I am a senior drill instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California, First Battalion. We are currently here observing the entire Republic of Korea's recruit training. We're here to observe them, see their processes, and if we have the chance to give them feedback, both positive, and any areas where they can improve. My thought process was, first and foremost, keep an open mind. Obviously it's a different country, it's a different culture for myself. And be extremely patient because the way the U.S. Marine Corps works isn't the way every military around the world works. So it's, again, it's keeping that open mind and knowing that different countries have different processes and they have those processes because of their cultures, their traditions, things that have happened in the past. So it's just being able to kind of like take it in and process it and then as you go out throughout the training, see why you thought of something a couple weeks before and then try to like think, oh, this is why they did that two weeks ago. I'm currently a drone instructor on Parris Island, South Carolina. I volunteered for this because I was actually born in Korea. So with me being American and born in Korea, this only made sense for me to come because I obviously have a lot of love for America as, you know, I am an American. But at the same time, I do have, you know, love and respect for Koreans and the Korean culture. What we are doing is actively working with the Republic of Korea Marine Corps and their recruit training process to observe, interact and differentiate between the two recruit trainings so that we can learn from each other and grow together as a military force. Recruits are similar in both countries in a way that recruits from both countries, they want to be Marines. Their motivation is the same on both levels. They might display it differently, but they're still all motivated. I definitely do think that it's beneficial for both the United States and the Republic of Korea. The main reason would be it allows us to build an alliance and it gives us both the opportunity to strengthen both of our military forces and alliances through, you know, just constant relations. Regular Marines, regular drone structures that are doing the same things that the drone structures in South Korea are doing just in a different environment. So the reason why I would recommend this is, one, it builds that relationship with the Republic of Korea Marine Corps. I have definitely made, you know, some great acquaintances here and by that I mean the Republic of Korea Marines, the drone structures specifically. That honestly will build a stronger relationship in the long run, because I know for a fact that if anything were to happen, I would be more than glad to come and assist here in South Korea. And that's just based off of the couple of weeks that we've interacted with the drone structures. I know that I would want to come and support them in any way that I can.
