00:00.009 --> 00:02.176
I'm Lieutenant Commander Garcia . I am

00:02.176 --> 00:04.869
the dentist for Cumana 2024 . So I'm

00:04.880 --> 00:07.102
not able to provide the range scopes of

00:07.102 --> 00:08.824
general dentistry to the local

00:08.824 --> 00:10.936
population wherever they need me . At

00:10.936 --> 00:10.779
the beginning of the mission , we were

00:10.789 --> 00:12.900
at their actual dental clinic and now

00:12.900 --> 00:14.845
we're in the elementary school and

00:14.845 --> 00:16.900
shortly we'll be in the , uh some of

00:16.900 --> 00:19.067
the FS most states s survey uh as part

00:19.067 --> 00:21.233
of the mission and then also providing

00:21.233 --> 00:23.456
care in the military , really test your

00:23.456 --> 00:23.290
limits where they put you in a

00:23.299 --> 00:25.410
leadership position , you know , with

00:25.410 --> 00:27.577
sometimes minimal experience , right ?

00:27.577 --> 00:29.577
And you kind of rely on others , uh

00:29.577 --> 00:31.688
either by examples or by mistakes and

00:31.688 --> 00:31.680
they kind of shape you into the leader

00:31.690 --> 00:34.080
you wanna be . I think that's probably

00:34.090 --> 00:35.979
the biggest thing right now in my

00:35.979 --> 00:38.034
career so far that like the military

00:38.034 --> 00:40.257
has taught me , I think we're providing

00:40.257 --> 00:42.312
an uh extremely great service to the

00:42.312 --> 00:44.479
host nation . They've been great to us

00:44.479 --> 00:46.646
and I think uh for the upcoming team ,

00:46.646 --> 00:46.340
like they're , they , they should be

00:46.349 --> 00:47.220
looking forward to it .
