00:00.009 --> 00:02.700
Sergeant Rianna Bishop , supply

00:02.710 --> 00:06.000
administration specialist CB 11 . The

00:06.010 --> 00:08.020
purpose of Co Moana is community

00:08.029 --> 00:10.196
relations . That's the biggest portion

00:10.196 --> 00:12.418
of Co Moana . We're also doing a lot of

00:12.418 --> 00:12.140
other things out here . We're

00:12.149 --> 00:14.149
completing projects . We're working

00:14.149 --> 00:16.149
hand in hand with different foreign

00:16.149 --> 00:18.038
militaries and we're overall just

00:18.038 --> 00:17.909
completing a lot of construction

00:17.920 --> 00:20.087
projects in support of these different

00:20.087 --> 00:22.198
island nations . Some of the projects

00:22.198 --> 00:24.142
that we have going on in Papua New

00:24.142 --> 00:26.309
Guinea include range repairs . So they

00:26.309 --> 00:26.170
have a range established here . We're

00:26.180 --> 00:27.958
going to go ahead and establish

00:27.958 --> 00:30.409
different target points and we're going

00:30.420 --> 00:32.420
to better improve the range . We're

00:32.420 --> 00:34.819
also doing reparations to various roads

00:35.340 --> 00:37.659
and we are building Southwest Asian

00:37.669 --> 00:40.090
huts so that marines and Papua New

00:40.099 --> 00:42.369
Guinea Defense Force soldiers can stay

00:42.380 --> 00:44.810
in them so far . I think the projects

00:44.819 --> 00:47.041
are going great . I know that we've had

00:47.270 --> 00:49.909
bumps on the road . But I think with

00:49.919 --> 00:52.086
the projects , the marines have really

00:52.086 --> 00:54.141
pushed through some of the adversity

00:54.141 --> 00:56.308
that we've come across and everyone is

00:56.308 --> 00:58.419
just working really hard , everyone's

00:58.419 --> 00:58.090
working super hard and super eager to

00:58.099 --> 00:59.932
get all the tasks done . The key

00:59.932 --> 01:01.766
takeaway for Coa is showing that

01:01.766 --> 01:03.988
marines can go anywhere at any time and

01:03.988 --> 01:06.043
do whatever projects put in front of

01:06.043 --> 01:07.988
them that we're able to start with

01:07.988 --> 01:09.988
nothing and then build ourselves up

01:09.988 --> 01:11.932
with the wits that we have and the

01:11.932 --> 01:14.155
supplies that we have on hand and we're

01:14.155 --> 01:13.330
able to build something incredible like

01:13.339 --> 01:15.639
repair a road , build a swat and just

01:15.650 --> 01:17.761
interact with the community . I think

01:17.761 --> 01:19.983
it's important to help out nations like

01:19.983 --> 01:22.039
PNG one because you can see how they

01:22.039 --> 01:24.150
live and you can see a different side

01:24.150 --> 01:24.019
of culture that you've probably never

01:24.029 --> 01:26.196
seen before . And two , because in the

01:26.196 --> 01:28.307
future , that could be someone who is

01:28.307 --> 01:30.418
really beneficial to us , it could be

01:30.418 --> 01:30.190
somewhere that we go in the future as a

01:30.199 --> 01:32.349
Marine Corps and they just welcome us

01:32.360 --> 01:35.019
with open arms . My particular job is

01:35.029 --> 01:37.251
I'm the supply specialist , so I do all

01:37.251 --> 01:39.418
things supply while out here in coma .

01:39.418 --> 01:41.529
So that's purchasing of all materials

01:41.529 --> 01:43.585
that is property accounting , that's

01:43.585 --> 01:45.751
also working out ways that we can ship

01:45.751 --> 01:48.029
parts overseas in the future . I love

01:48.040 --> 01:50.096
it out here . I think the people are

01:50.096 --> 01:52.262
great . It's been super impactful just

01:52.262 --> 01:54.429
to work with everybody . I've met some

01:54.429 --> 01:56.596
incredible people . I've learned a lot

01:56.596 --> 01:58.596
of jobs that I never thought that I

01:58.596 --> 02:00.596
would ever do in the Marine Corps .

02:00.596 --> 01:59.930
I've definitely branched out away from

01:59.940 --> 02:01.940
my M OS and I've just gotten really

02:01.940 --> 02:04.162
great experiences . I'm here in Papua ,

02:04.162 --> 02:05.660
New Guinea , supporting the one mission
