00:00:02,390 --> 00:00:04,430
- Today SOI West is doing a,

2
00:00:04,430 --> 00:00:07,340
what we're calling Operation Clean Sweep.

3
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:09,430
So it is a school wide effort

4
00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:13,323
to really focus on the
grounds here of SOI West.

5
00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:16,890
About 1200 Marines today are coming out

6
00:00:16,890 --> 00:00:19,640
to clean the 52 area,

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,520
taking a look at, you know,

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,330
just any, anything and everything

9
00:00:22,330 --> 00:00:24,490
that we can improve on the grounds

10
00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:27,170
here at SOI West just to make it a better,

11
00:00:27,170 --> 00:00:31,170
more refined, more
professionalized experience.

12
00:00:31,170 --> 00:00:33,840
Not only for our students, but
for our instructors are well,

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:34,690
you know, we're lucky enough

14
00:00:34,690 --> 00:00:38,870
to have a pretty well
fleshed out equipment shed

15
00:00:38,870 --> 00:00:42,660
of leaf blowers, weed
whackers, bush trimmers,

16
00:00:42,660 --> 00:00:46,100
brooms, dustpans, power washers.

17
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:48,120
We're doing max effort to,

18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,580
to clean and take care of the area.

19
00:00:51,580 --> 00:00:54,700
The intent here is to get our area looking

20
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:56,680
as professional as possible

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,050
with resulting effects of
continuing to professionalize

22
00:01:01,050 --> 00:01:03,550
both our permanent
personnel as instructors

23
00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:07,820
and our marine graduates
as, as professional marines,

24
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:10,890
whichever MOS they go into
following the time here

25
00:01:10,890 --> 00:01:12,007
at MCT or ITB.
