 So I'm Sergeant Ethan Keercutter with Second CB Bravo Company Third Platoon. My name is spelled E-T-H-A-N-K-I-R-C-H-G-A-T-T-E-R. Now we're doing our evaluation. It's called the McCree. Basically tests our skills in preparation for when we attach to our Victor unit, Victor 3-6. We're out here running Range Golf 3-6. It's an evaluation. This is the culminating event for our platoon McCree. We do this in preparation for deployment once we attach to Victor 3-6. We started with an insert at an LZ and then made some movement. Did cash reduction, and then displaced to an LZ where we got picked up in the Ospreys, displaced to another location, and then made movement and occupied a defense for two days. Displaced again, came to the range, and we ran Golf 3-6. So being the platoon guy, you take care of a lot of logistic things for the platoon, making sure that dudes have chow, water, ammunition, things that they need, basically setting them up for success as they push out on different types of missions. Doing evaluations like this is crucial prior to actually attaching and deploying with Victor units, putting our skills to the test. Exercises like this are very important. It's crucial. When we attach to Victor units, we have to support them in any way we can, whether it's survivability, counter mobility, or even mobility. So the more reps we get at this, the better we are at it when we end up attaching and deploying. I'm Lance Corporal Tahada Molina. I'm a first team leader for Second Squad. Okay, cool. And what's your first name? Stephen. And then spell out your first and last name for me. T-E-J-A-D-A-M-O-L-I-N-A-S-T-E-V-E-N. At Second CB, we really like to basically make it easier on our squad leaders. So I'm in charge of about three to four guys. So whatever it is that our task is, I'm basically in charge of a few of the smaller things, like maneuvering and whether it's a task out, like sling and sea wire, which is one of our biggest jobs. But that's basically what we do here. These exercises are extremely important for us. It gives us a whole lot of reps. And basically, you got to think about it like a sport. The way, whether it's shooting hoops or swinging the bat, the more you do it, the better you get at it. And one of the things that I really like the most is that it creates a lot of chemistry between my team and my squad as a whole, which that just allows us to integrate easily with our grunts over at three, six, to just be able to do our own job, but also support those guys. Having chemistry with the rest of my team, the rest of my squad, it just makes it easier for everyone in the squad, just because sometimes I wouldn't really have to look a certain way to know exactly where you're located or what the next mission is, the next task or the next objective, I basically kind of can read you and base or move my team accordingly to your team. So having chemistry in my specific team is super important, whether it's on the job or off the job, but that really allows us to know exactly who's gonna move first, who's breaching the door, who's a breacher, things like that. So everyone just knowing exactly what their job is and that just makes it easier for us to move with especially two other fire teams to our flanks. So having chemistry with my team, with my squad and running all these drills, it makes it easier for the grunts just to have trust on us cause that's basically like what we're trying to prove to them is that we have the capability of doing our job as well as their job so whenever they can trust us, it just makes it easier on them to keep their, let's say mission plan exactly how they want it and not have to adjust things off of us because they don't trust that we could do a certain thing. So that's basically the biggest thing with chemistry. Chemistry and trust is the biggest thing for us.
