WEBVTT 00:00.009 --> 00:03.960 I am 2nd Lieutenant Watson . Um , I 00:03.960 --> 00:07.079 work at 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion as 00:07.079 --> 00:09.190 a logistics officer . Chimney Trail , 00:09.260 --> 00:12.899 uh , it's . New to the Marine Corps as 00:12.899 --> 00:16.870 far as I'm concerned , to develop a 00:16.870 --> 00:20.209 new way of thinking on 00:21.870 --> 00:24.190 just everyday tasks , how we approach 00:24.190 --> 00:26.950 our day and how we approach issues when 00:26.950 --> 00:29.969 they arise . It's a new 00:30.670 --> 00:32.909 psychological way of dealing with 00:32.909 --> 00:36.590 stress and anxiety and emotions in a 00:36.590 --> 00:39.439 way that . Most or the majority of 00:39.439 --> 00:43.400 people don't properly handle or don't 00:43.400 --> 00:46.819 properly mitigate mitigate mitigate or 00:47.270 --> 00:49.639 manage . Most important aspect of this 00:49.639 --> 00:51.659 training is definitely . 00:55.610 --> 00:58.689 If you can learn or 00:59.689 --> 01:02.590 Adapt in yourself a new way of 01:03.169 --> 01:06.970 viewing um your work or your 01:06.970 --> 01:10.680 relationships , um . The Marine 01:10.680 --> 01:12.680 Corps , you're going to be a better 01:12.680 --> 01:15.919 performer , uh , and your life is 01:15.919 --> 01:18.730 definitely just going to be . Set up in 01:18.730 --> 01:20.449 a much more stable manner . 01:24.230 --> 01:26.452 We we live in a very high emotional and 01:26.452 --> 01:30.269 high tense job 01:30.269 --> 01:34.139 and if you can um properly manage that , 01:34.150 --> 01:36.309 then that's that's going to pay 01:36.309 --> 01:38.389 dividends towards the end of your 01:38.389 --> 01:40.709 career . What stuck with me most from 01:40.709 --> 01:41.709 the training . 01:45.760 --> 01:49.089 Uh , definitely , um . The 01:49.089 --> 01:52.150 10 I don't remember the exact words 01:52.150 --> 01:54.569 they use like the 10 , um . 01:56.610 --> 01:59.330 Lies that we encounter in our thought 01:59.330 --> 02:02.910 process , um , the psychological 02:02.910 --> 02:05.132 tricks that we play on ourselves that , 02:05.132 --> 02:07.839 uh . You know , downplay . 02:12.119 --> 02:14.397 The good parts of our lives , you know , 02:14.397 --> 02:16.563 where we listen to lies and , and then 02:16.563 --> 02:19.399 we don't , um , we , we lean into that 02:19.399 --> 02:22.889 more than we lean into , um . How to 02:22.889 --> 02:25.550 properly manage it or how to be just a , 02:25.639 --> 02:29.610 a better influencer and um . And those 02:29.610 --> 02:32.309 around us and elsewhere . I think the 02:32.309 --> 02:36.270 training was very beneficial and if you 02:36.270 --> 02:39.210 can master um your thoughts , 02:39.669 --> 02:41.729 it's . Gonna be . 02:44.539 --> 02:46.490 A much better um . 02:49.940 --> 02:52.380 If you can master your thoughts , uh . 02:53.500 --> 02:55.556 You're gonna be a better performer , 02:55.556 --> 02:57.860 like I said earlier , um , and it's 02:57.860 --> 03:01.839 gonna be , um . You should be 03:01.839 --> 03:04.172 a better marine , uh , a better fighter , 03:04.240 --> 03:06.449 a better family person , um . 03:08.470 --> 03:10.803 If you , if you , a better communicator , 03:10.803 --> 03:12.859 uh , I think it'll just make you all 03:13.029 --> 03:15.570 overall better person . What am I gonna 03:15.570 --> 03:17.910 do with this training ? Uh , I'm 03:17.910 --> 03:20.789 definitely going to , um , lean into 03:20.789 --> 03:23.419 the . The training that they just gave 03:23.419 --> 03:27.169 us and I want to learn it for 03:27.169 --> 03:31.080 myself so that I can be a better 03:32.039 --> 03:34.500 influencer to those in my unit or those 03:34.500 --> 03:36.639 I meet outside of the Marine Corps . 03:38.059 --> 03:41.100 So if I can learn this , then I can 03:41.100 --> 03:45.100 give back to my Marines , those below 03:45.100 --> 03:46.979 me , above me , or to my left and right .
