 The co-op program is a bilateral program between the JGSDF and the U.S. Army here on Camp Zama. It allows us to interoperate within the footprint and expand our capabilities. Co-op program is a very important project because we can make a good relationship between the JGSDF and the U.S. Army. During the co-op program, a U.S. Army soldier sponsors a JGSDF soldier for six weeks. We work together closely through many exercises and many events. So we introduced each other, co-op member and sponsors. After that, my home unit speech is what good experience was. PTE was just a little different in JGSDF. It was a great experience. We are going to U.S. military facility in Yokota, Atsugi, Tokyo. So we can get knowledge about U.S. military in Japan. So sponsor time, it was a great time for me because Master Sergeant Planko teach me a lot of things about U.S. Army and his unit. T-3 training is a very good system in the military medical system. Medical care is part of the operation. The most important thing is to complete a mission. My best experience is the climb Mount Fuji. We did it with Master Sergeant Planko. Through those engagements, we also become more connected as people, friends, even to where our families learn to meet one another. We can learn about U.S. Army. I've had a great experience in the co-op program. Actually, it's been the most fulfilling experience I've had throughout my tenure here in Japan. There's a lot of history here and there's a lot of projected plans on our capabilities and what is expected for us to be responsible for in the future. Our sponsors, they are a wonderful person was because we can learn from them a lot of things and they are they were helping us always. Master Sergeant Sasaki's time with me has been a lifelong investment in my character, in my personality, in my skills, my perception and I look forward to reaching back to him even after my co-op program time ends. Master Sergeant Planko is the best soldier I have ever met. If you plan to be a leader or are working on improving your leadership, the co-op program is an asset to your skillset. Fellow co-op members, they are very good persons. It's my pleasure to working with them.
