00:00.009 --> 00:02.150
When you say ready , you have to wait

00:02.160 --> 00:04.340
until they all echo ready . Members of

00:04.349 --> 00:06.516
team Offett recently took part in some

00:06.516 --> 00:08.738
training outside of the normal assigned

00:08.738 --> 00:10.793
duties inside building D . Those are

00:10.793 --> 00:12.738
those facing moments . That's when

00:12.738 --> 00:14.793
those are going to come in . They're

00:14.793 --> 00:14.510
learning the proper way to carry a

00:14.520 --> 00:16.549
casket for a dignified transfer of

00:16.559 --> 00:20.370
remains . But before they get

00:20.379 --> 00:22.490
here , they have to relearn something

00:22.490 --> 00:24.268
they've been taught since basic

00:24.268 --> 00:26.323
training . So in honor guard , we do

00:26.323 --> 00:27.990
facing movements specifically

00:27.990 --> 00:30.101
ceremonial , which means we do them a

00:30.101 --> 00:32.323
lot slower and we do them with our toes

00:32.323 --> 00:34.435
together . So it's a whole new facing

00:34.435 --> 00:36.657
movement that we have to teach them for

00:36.657 --> 00:36.340
tech Sergeant Pierce . It's about

00:36.349 --> 00:38.516
something more than just teaching them

00:38.516 --> 00:40.127
new facing movements . So my

00:40.127 --> 00:42.189
grandfather is retired marines and I

00:42.200 --> 00:45.159
just laid him to rest about 2.5 years

00:45.169 --> 00:46.849
ago . And the opportunity to

00:46.860 --> 00:49.082
participate in these ceremonies is open

00:49.082 --> 00:51.304
to all ranks and branches of service to

00:51.304 --> 00:53.360
include off its civilian workforce .

00:53.360 --> 00:55.369
Just getting all of us together and

00:55.380 --> 00:57.547
understanding that all of us come from

00:57.547 --> 00:59.324
different jobs . All of us have

00:59.324 --> 01:01.380
different ranks and we're all coming

01:01.380 --> 01:03.930
together for one purpose . William

01:03.939 --> 01:05.995
mcconnell says he has family members

01:05.995 --> 01:08.161
who never came home from World War I I

01:08.161 --> 01:10.050
and Vietnam , this is very , very

01:10.050 --> 01:11.883
important to me . These could be

01:11.883 --> 01:14.106
relatives that I don't know about yet .

01:14.106 --> 01:16.272
So , and I think we owe those families

01:16.272 --> 01:17.995
that debt of honor and respect

01:17.995 --> 01:19.939
reporting from building D . I'm JB

01:19.939 --> 01:22.106
Arley for the 55th Wing Public Affairs

01:22.106 --> 01:24.272
Office where the sun never sets on the

01:24.272 --> 01:23.769
fight in 55th .
