00:06.340 --> 00:09.119
Pack off . I'm Sergeant Gavin Robles .

00:09.130 --> 00:11.670
I'm from Denver City , Texas . I am an

00:11.680 --> 00:13.680
exhibition airfield technician . Uh

00:13.680 --> 00:17.120
7011 . I re enlisted in November of

00:17.129 --> 00:20.959
2022 . And my biggest motivation was my

00:20.969 --> 00:23.302
sister . She's , she's a marine as well .

00:23.302 --> 00:25.358
She enlisted two years before me and

00:25.358 --> 00:27.469
just seeing all the like achievements

00:27.469 --> 00:29.691
and accomplishments that she's done and

00:29.691 --> 00:31.858
had it just motivated me to keep going

00:31.920 --> 00:33.860
the opportunity to become a cold

00:33.869 --> 00:36.036
weather instructor kind just fell into

00:36.036 --> 00:37.925
my lap . My O IC was like , hey ,

00:37.925 --> 00:40.147
there's a ruck run if you finish a ruck

00:40.147 --> 00:42.202
run in a certain amount of time , uh

00:42.202 --> 00:44.369
You're going to Norway a lot's covered

00:44.369 --> 00:46.202
in the training . We learned how

00:46.202 --> 00:48.425
avalanches happen when they happen . We

00:48.425 --> 00:50.591
did the polar plunge . You really just

00:50.591 --> 00:52.702
learn how to survive in , in winter .

00:59.740 --> 01:02.959
Like is control your ,

01:06.050 --> 01:07.939
ok . The next thing you should be

01:07.939 --> 01:11.440
getting yourself in the ice to the pl A

01:11.510 --> 01:13.621
big thing the Marine Corps gains from

01:13.621 --> 01:15.288
gold weather training is just

01:15.288 --> 01:17.399
continuing the fight . It's one thing

01:17.399 --> 01:19.510
to survive in the cold . It's another

01:19.510 --> 01:18.760
thing to be able to fight , keep your

01:18.769 --> 01:21.400
rifle not frozen . So it shoots keeping

01:21.410 --> 01:23.354
your marines , like , mentally and

01:23.354 --> 01:25.466
physically able to keep going because

01:25.466 --> 01:27.577
you could be the strongest guy in the

01:27.577 --> 01:29.743
world if your head is not in it , like

01:29.743 --> 01:29.500
you just have to fight .
