00:01.140 --> 00:04.560
the best warrior competition is the

00:04.570 --> 00:06.514
units around the Oklahoma National

00:06.514 --> 00:08.459
Guard are asked to send their most

00:08.459 --> 00:11.060
proficient soldier . This is the state

00:11.060 --> 00:13.310
level competition and what we're trying

00:13.310 --> 00:15.810
to do is assess who the most proficient

00:15.810 --> 00:17.977
soldiers are in the state , regardless

00:17.977 --> 00:20.290
of rank , regardless agenda . We have a

00:20.300 --> 00:22.280
qual range for rifles that we show

00:22.280 --> 00:24.502
their marksmanship , they have to do in

00:24.502 --> 00:26.558
a pft . There's several other events

00:26.558 --> 00:28.724
that are just simple soldier tasks and

00:28.724 --> 00:30.780
this is a way for us to rate them by

00:30.780 --> 00:33.002
their score . It just shows people like

00:33.002 --> 00:35.224
soldiers involved , you know , they can

00:35.224 --> 00:37.391
make themselves be the best buy , just

00:37.391 --> 00:39.613
maximum effort . This is most important

00:39.613 --> 00:39.490
because as National Guardsmen , we

00:39.490 --> 00:41.823
often kind of get locked into our units ,

00:41.823 --> 00:43.990
we're doing our monthly tasks and when

00:43.990 --> 00:45.879
you have two days a month to be a

00:45.879 --> 00:48.101
soldier rarely does the top soldier get

00:48.101 --> 00:50.434
to really show up . You kind of show up ,

00:50.434 --> 00:52.546
you do the job that you're told to do

00:52.546 --> 00:51.800
and you go home because it's just two

00:51.800 --> 00:53.911
days and maybe an 80 you get an award

00:53.911 --> 00:56.133
if you can show up and show that you're

00:56.133 --> 00:58.356
the best soldiers . So this competition

00:58.356 --> 01:00.522
allows for soldiers from regardless of

01:00.522 --> 01:00.230
unit that they come from . All , all

01:00.230 --> 01:02.452
the battalions all over the state , all

01:02.452 --> 01:04.619
mos is when they show up here and they

01:04.619 --> 01:06.619
can be identified as being the best

01:06.619 --> 01:08.730
most proficient soldier at all of the

01:08.730 --> 01:10.786
soldier task . So this allows them a

01:10.786 --> 01:12.952
place to come and be recognized and be

01:12.952 --> 01:14.952
awarded for having maintained those

01:14.952 --> 01:14.560
skills
