00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,073
Yeah my name is Sergeant Jesse , 

3
00:00:08,073 --> 00:00:09,740
Marshall career planner force 

4
00:00:09,740 --> 00:00:12,750
headquarters Group . I would recommend 

5
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:14,861
a summer officer tour for someone who 

6
00:00:14,861 --> 00:00:16,917
is considering submitting an officer 

7
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:19,028
package . Just for the mere fact more 

8
00:00:19,028 --> 00:00:21,028
information is always good . Um The 

9
00:00:21,028 --> 00:00:23,083
more information you have , the more 

10
00:00:23,083 --> 00:00:25,139
informed you can be and make a great 

11
00:00:25,139 --> 00:00:27,194
decision about what you want to do , 

12
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:30,470
how to do it . We went to the basic 

13
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:34,420
school TBS and uh first time seeing an 

14
00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:36,531
african american , commanding officer 

15
00:00:36,531 --> 00:00:40,260
and uh being able to just see myself um 

16
00:00:40,270 --> 00:00:42,670
as an african american um and those 

17
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,350
senior leadership roles um deeply 

18
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:48,517
affected me so much . So to where it's 

19
00:00:48,517 --> 00:00:50,794
like you know if the colonel can do it , 

20
00:00:50,794 --> 00:00:52,850
you know , I don't have an excuse if 

21
00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:55,017
that's something I really want to do , 

22
00:00:55,017 --> 00:00:57,128
I should do it . So to be able to see 

23
00:00:57,128 --> 00:00:59,440
that firsthand kind of made me 

24
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:02,060
motivated to continue to process 

25
00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:04,640
because it shows you that there is a 

26
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,800
bigger picture . Uh there is a bigger 

27
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,940
Marine Corps and there's a place for 

28
00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:09,660
you in it . 

29
00:01:13,130 --> 00:01:13,300
Yeah .
