 Hey everyone, good morning. This is Bernice, your community outreach specialist and today we will be spending most of the day with Corporal Bolenbacher while we film the Marine Operations Temporary Duty Tryouts. And Mitch is gonna explain a lot more of that later because it's a tongue twister and it's a mouthful and I do not wanna screw it up for all of you. So stay tuned, let's see what we can get into. I heard that it's gonna be very interesting. Maybe some flailing, I know there's some oral boards, I know there's some people in the water. It's a really pretty day, let's see. Corporal Bolenbacher, what are the nine guys going to have to do today that are trying out for the Marine Operations Temporary Duty Augmented? Augmentation Force? I was so close, I was so close. So today we're out here, we're gonna do more ops tryouts for nine guys who are interested in coming to the Marine Unit as a temporary assignment and as a collateral duty to their regular assignment, whether it be patrol operations, special operations, criminal investigations. So they're gonna come out here, they're gonna do the swim test. It's a 200 yard swim with five minutes of treading water and then climbing back on the boat from an underway condition. So it means you can't use a swim ladder to simulate if you fell off the boat while it was moving. Gotcha, I wouldn't make it. Once they do that, they'll take this afternoon, they're gonna do an oral board and a small written test. And then if they're chosen, they'll come to us for a period of 60 days to get trained up on the boat. And then for holiday weekends, for scallop season, for big events, they'll come back and be able to come out on the boat with us and help expand our Marine Unit here at the Sheriff's Office. That's awesome. I think I want to come out just for the training so I know more so what to do on personal boat days. That was just a side note. Okay. How you guys feeling? Are you nervous? Yeah, the water's cold. Wait, that's why you're nervous? Cause the water's cold? Are you nervous about anything else? You think you got this? Do you know exactly what you're doing? Say, what are you doing? I'm doing what has to be done. We got that. Holdenbacher, what you doing? Right now we're putting out a 100 yards, 300 feet of line. And then they're going to swim to the buoy and then come back. Gotcha. And we are feeling good about this guys. Yep. Is it cold? Did their swim? Now what are they doing? So they did the 100 yards down and back. So 200 yards swim. Now they're going to charge water for five minutes. Good. So now they've got to get back into the boat from an underway condition. Like I said, I'm going to stream the whole way down your bottom. See if I can just get a cannonball, something that'd be your heaviest, like 10 points, you know? Off the top. Get them off. Off the top, the top. We are about to wrap up this video. Corporate Bowenbacher, what else did the guys have to do for the tryouts? So this morning they all did the swim test. Everyone successfully passed the swim test. And getting back on the boat. This afternoon they're going to complete an oral board, five-question written examination, and then through how they do on the oral boards and their experience and everything will make a selection. Good stuff. Congratulations to everyone that tried out today. They will find out by the end of this week whether or not they made it to the Mar-Opps TDY. And maybe I'll bring you guys a video to explain a little bit more about what they do. But this is new. This is new for us. Yeah? It's new. It's new? We love the new stuff. We love the good stuff. So if you haven't already liked this video, like this video, comment, subscribe, and we'll see you next time. Say bye. Bye.
