 I always love the best way because our soldiers shine and can prove to everybody how good they actually are and how much they know their skills and their crafts. To show the world how good our soldiers are, I love this competition. So the value of the best warrior competition is getting them back to the basics and doing some of the fun things that they joined the Army for. And it's a great opportunity for them to experience the new qualification standards. They're new this year so we're changing over from one standard to another and so they get to carry forward the skills that they had with previous qualifications and apply them to these new qualification standards. It's important because it can represent your unit but also give you a sense of where you're at. After everything you execute you assess. Coming to these competitions and moving stage from stage is a good opportunity to keep assessing yourself. I did the ACFT this morning and now they're at the mount site doing the Army warrior tasks. So the ACFT is a new way of assessing our soldiers. These are the best warriors of each ESC and they've done the ACFT before and they've killed it. You have to know the basics to progress throughout your career and that's exactly what warrior tasks are. The most important part of the Army is these basic tasks that kind of make us a functional organization. So you must do your individual tasks good and proficient to survive in the battlefield and then you can combine that with everybody else's to do the collective tasks. And be able to shoot, move, communicate, medicate, decontaminate and sustain yourself. Spot report as follows. How are you feeling? Mine's a 10, body's a 10, feet are like a 9.5, feet are 9, mine's a 10, well my back might be 9.5. I really do love the Rock March that's a really tasking event that it significantly tests their heart instead of their body. Their body will feel it but their body will do it. If they've got the heart to push through it then that's really where they set themselves apart. It's pretty tough right now, this massive shot I'm feeling in my legs, 252, I'll take that all day. It's a marathon not a sprint so if you do bad one event you're just going to make sure you pick it up and kill it on the next one. My name is Sergeant Major Goodman, I'm a 316th ESC Sergeant. You would, can you tell me a little bit about yourself? Now what are the four rest positions? How long have you been in E-5? The Army Regulation covers the wear and appearance and they'll trade you up all the time. You've been intense, kept us on our toes, we didn't know you. The NCOC. All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership, I will provide that leadership. I love this competition as I said before, when I was a young soldier I competed in a soldier of the quarter and it excelled me to be the NCO that I am. These young soldiers, they are setting their standards and they are the future, they're right in their own history. They are going to be the next platoon sergeants, the next first sergeants and the next command sergeants of the Army of the Future.
