 Two more. Stay on. Get on the bar. My name is Lance Corporal Shevlin. I'm one of two active body barrier instructors in the body barrier section. I've done over four in 20 funerals. The body barrier CDS program is the selection process in which you go through the training mentally and physically for six to twelve months. It's a self-paced course. So it all depends on the marine individually. But during that time, if you're trained up from the ground, you'll break them down, you'll get individual, and then train them to be a body barrier. As a body barrier candidate, you're going to find yourself hurting almost 24-7. The physical strain that your body goes through day in and day out. It's not an easy school. One of the biggest mental obstacles our candidates face during their time in CDS is the fact that they need to learn how to be selfless. Candidates tend to focus on their own means and not on the whole big picture of what a body barrier means. So they really dwell on the fact that they're going through adversity. It is our job to teach them that it's not about them. So what the CDS program means to me is building up those marines coming from ITB and the fleet and training them into the best body barrier that they could possibly be. I got the opportunity to come to the body barrier CDS selection program and going through that and then eventually making the body barrier section. I've grown tremendously, not just physically but mentally as well. I've learned that I have the strength to overcome adversity no matter what. If you could find yourself filling the shoes of a body bear then I highly recommend that you reach out and try to contact the body bears. Being a body bear is important to me because I get to perform those funerals for the loved ones, those family members and really show what type of hero that person was to that family and to their country. My name is Lance Corporal Paul Garrett Green. I'm the lead TAD instructor right now for the body bear program and I've completed nearly 200 funerals. I'm originally an O-331 machine gunner. My first unit was first battalion eighth grade. I was stationed there for about two and a half years. I was able to do one deployment with them on the 24th of the month in 2021. I always knew about the body bears my whole life for the Marine Corps. I was looked at as a very professional and very small net, very small community but I never looked into the process of doing it. The first time I actually talked to an actual body bearer I was at the gym working down Camp Lejeune and I ran into Harold Platoon Sergeant, Sergeant Reynolds and it was him and another body bearer who was down here on recruiting duty. Stop being okay with being average. We are not average Marines. We are top tier Marines. That's what we expect from you every single time you do an exercise or run anything you do such a casting, anything. 100%, 110% at all times. I told him about the whole process, about how CDS was the requirements, high requirements. In August of 2021, we went to H-CIA for the evacuation of Afghanistan and I witnessed 2-1. It was right after the suicide explosion. The suicide bomber detonated his vest and it was like a day after that I seen the Marines from 2-1 carrying their dead brothers onto the C-17s and that kind of imprinted like a okay, I really want to do this now because I've seen how solemn they were and how sad, how distraught they were carrying their dead brothers and seeing that made me want to give back to them and give that fallen Marine the best send-off I could possibly give. After witnessing the ultimate sacrifice, I wanted to give back to that Marine and their family by coming here and becoming a body bearer.
