00:00.239 --> 00:02.406
Good morning Guard Nation . My name is

00:02.406 --> 00:04.572
Command Sergeant Major David Harry and

00:04.572 --> 00:04.519
I'm the command senior and listed

00:04.519 --> 00:06.797
leader for the Maryland National Guard ,

00:06.797 --> 00:09.560
and today we are here to crown the NCO

00:09.560 --> 00:11.782
of the Year and the Soldier of the Year

00:11.782 --> 00:13.727
as we compete in the Army National

00:13.727 --> 00:15.838
Guard's best warrior competition . So

00:15.838 --> 00:17.671
we have put these young warriors

00:17.671 --> 00:19.671
through the ringer . Throughout the

00:19.671 --> 00:22.815
week we've had these guys do multiple

00:22.815 --> 00:26.235
rock marches , weapons qualifications ,

00:26.584 --> 00:28.995
appearance boards , written tests ,

00:29.045 --> 00:31.156
miles upon miles . By the end of this

00:31.156 --> 00:33.101
competition they will have done 60

00:33.101 --> 00:35.325
miles and they've really shown up and

00:35.325 --> 00:39.250
shown out , but Today it's not over yet ,

00:39.540 --> 00:42.740
so they're doing the army fitness test

00:42.740 --> 00:44.407
right behind me as we speak .

00:44.630 --> 00:46.852
Immediately from here we're going to go

00:46.852 --> 00:48.963
over to the Naval Academy and they're

00:48.963 --> 00:51.074
going to do the combat water survival

00:51.074 --> 00:53.297
test and we're going to wrap up with an

00:53.297 --> 00:55.519
amazing race style scavenger hunt where

00:55.519 --> 00:57.574
they're going to use . Clues to find

00:57.574 --> 00:59.686
items in and around the Naval Academy

00:59.686 --> 01:02.860
in Annapolis . So stay tuned and can't

01:02.860 --> 01:05.379
wait to find out who wins . But before

01:05.379 --> 01:07.490
we wrap up , I just want to say thank

01:07.490 --> 01:10.139
you to the support staff and the cadre

01:10.139 --> 01:12.569
for continuing to support the battle .
