1
00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:04,560
the best warrior competition is the 

2
00:00:04,570 --> 00:00:06,514
units around the Oklahoma National 

3
00:00:06,514 --> 00:00:08,459
Guard are asked to send their most 

4
00:00:08,459 --> 00:00:11,060
proficient soldier . This is the state 

5
00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:13,310
level competition and what we're trying 

6
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:15,810
to do is assess who the most proficient 

7
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:17,977
soldiers are in the state , regardless 

8
00:00:17,977 --> 00:00:20,290
of rank , regardless agenda . We have a 

9
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:22,280
qual range for rifles that we show 

10
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,502
their marksmanship , they have to do in 

11
00:00:24,502 --> 00:00:26,558
a pft . There's several other events 

12
00:00:26,558 --> 00:00:28,724
that are just simple soldier tasks and 

13
00:00:28,724 --> 00:00:30,780
this is a way for us to rate them by 

14
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:33,002
their score . It just shows people like 

15
00:00:33,002 --> 00:00:35,224
soldiers involved , you know , they can 

16
00:00:35,224 --> 00:00:37,391
make themselves be the best buy , just 

17
00:00:37,391 --> 00:00:39,613
maximum effort . This is most important 

18
00:00:39,613 --> 00:00:39,490
because as National Guardsmen , we 

19
00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:41,823
often kind of get locked into our units , 

20
00:00:41,823 --> 00:00:43,990
we're doing our monthly tasks and when 

21
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:45,879
you have two days a month to be a 

22
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:48,101
soldier rarely does the top soldier get 

23
00:00:48,101 --> 00:00:50,434
to really show up . You kind of show up , 

24
00:00:50,434 --> 00:00:52,546
you do the job that you're told to do 

25
00:00:52,546 --> 00:00:51,800
and you go home because it's just two 

26
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,911
days and maybe an 80 you get an award 

27
00:00:53,911 --> 00:00:56,133
if you can show up and show that you're 

28
00:00:56,133 --> 00:00:58,356
the best soldiers . So this competition 

29
00:00:58,356 --> 00:01:00,522
allows for soldiers from regardless of 

30
00:01:00,522 --> 00:01:00,230
unit that they come from . All , all 

31
00:01:00,230 --> 00:01:02,452
the battalions all over the state , all 

32
00:01:02,452 --> 00:01:04,619
mos is when they show up here and they 

33
00:01:04,619 --> 00:01:06,619
can be identified as being the best 

34
00:01:06,619 --> 00:01:08,730
most proficient soldier at all of the 

35
00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:10,786
soldier task . So this allows them a 

36
00:01:10,786 --> 00:01:12,952
place to come and be recognized and be 

37
00:01:12,952 --> 00:01:14,952
awarded for having maintained those 

38
00:01:14,952 --> 00:01:14,560
skills
