The awareness advertising
toolkit aims to highlight

00:00:04.463 --> 00:00:06.507 align:center line:-2
how you can support
recruitment efforts.

00:00:06.507 --> 00:00:08.717 align:center line:-2
Whether that means
being featured in an ad

00:00:08.717 --> 00:00:10.844 align:center line:-2
or engaging with ads
on social media.

00:00:10.844 --> 00:00:13.931 align:center line:-2
Today, we're speaking with
Corporal Olga Antiperovitch,

00:00:13.931 --> 00:00:16.433 align:center line:-2
a CAF medic who was recently
deployed on operation UNIFIER

00:00:16.433 --> 00:00:18.227 align:center line:-1
to provide us

00:00:18.227 --> 00:00:22.064 align:center line:-2
with some insight into
her involvement and experience.

00:00:22.064 --> 00:00:24.816 align:center line:-1
I wanted to start off by asking:

00:00:24.816 --> 00:00:26.652 align:center line:-2
"What made you want
to become involved

00:00:26.652 --> 00:00:28.987 align:center line:-1
with the awareness campaign?"

00:00:28.987 --> 00:00:31.949 align:center line:-2
I just wanted a good opportunity
to share my story.

00:00:31.949 --> 00:00:34.409 align:center line:-2
And this was one of the ways
to do it.

00:00:34.409 --> 00:00:38.288 align:center line:-2
So, I got asked to participate
and I immediately said yes,

00:00:38.288 --> 00:00:42.000 align:center line:-2
because it's a good opportunity
to share my experiences

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.838 align:center line:-2
and share what I have
to offer for the CAF.

00:00:45.838 --> 00:00:48.966 align:center line:-1
Absolutely! And I'm sure

00:00:48.966 --> 00:00:51.343 align:center line:-2
that the filming day was quite
an experience for you.

00:00:51.343 --> 00:00:53.512 align:center line:-2
Can you tell us a bit more
about that?

00:00:53.512 --> 00:00:55.973 align:center line:-2
We filmed right
in front of the tent

00:00:55.973 --> 00:00:58.267 align:center line:-2
we were doing training
in front of.

00:00:58.267 --> 00:01:02.646 align:center line:-2
The camera was all set up, they
asked me a couple of questions.

00:01:02.646 --> 00:01:06.316 align:center line:-2
I was really nervous about it,
because I was...

00:01:06.316 --> 00:01:09.653 align:center line:-2
I'm so used to saying just
the TCCC acronym.

00:01:09.653 --> 00:01:13.448 align:center line:-2
I don't really pronounce
Tactical Combat Casualty Care.

00:01:13.448 --> 00:01:15.617 align:center line:-2
So, we had to shoot it
a couple times.

00:01:15.617 --> 00:01:17.995 align:center line:-2
Regardless, it was
a good fun day.

00:01:17.995 --> 00:01:20.664 align:center line:-2
The answers.... the questions
were really good,

00:01:20.664 --> 00:01:24.835 align:center line:-2
because it really gets a good
grasp of what I had to offer

00:01:24.835 --> 00:01:27.629 align:center line:-2
and what I was doing
here in Ukraine,

00:01:27.629 --> 00:01:29.923 align:center line:-2
and what I was working on.
Especially with... the events

00:01:29.923 --> 00:01:32.009 align:center line:-2
that were happening
in the background.

00:01:32.009 --> 00:01:34.303 align:center line:-2
They were all doing medicine
and the tents were all set up.

00:01:34.303 --> 00:01:36.680 align:center line:-1
And everybody was working hard.

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.891 align:center line:-2
Excellent!
And what does it mean to you

00:01:38.891 --> 00:01:41.727 align:center line:-2
to be able to represent
the Canadian Armed Forces?

00:01:41.727 --> 00:01:44.062 align:center line:-1
It means a great deal, actually,

00:01:44.062 --> 00:01:46.607 align:center line:-2
because I worked long
and hard to become

00:01:46.607 --> 00:01:50.027 align:center line:-2
a Canadian Armed Forces
medical technician.

00:01:50.027 --> 00:01:53.572 align:center line:-2
Seven years in this trade
and I have a lot of experience.

00:01:53.572 --> 00:01:56.450 align:center line:-2
I've been to a couple
of places already.

00:01:56.450 --> 00:01:58.493 align:center line:-1
All the medical experience,

00:01:58.493 --> 00:02:00.204 align:center line:-2
all the training is now
being put forward

00:02:00.204 --> 00:02:01.955 align:center line:-1
into what I have to offer.

00:02:01.955 --> 00:02:03.999 align:center line:-2
And I just... I wanted
definitely to share to people

00:02:03.999 --> 00:02:06.835 align:center line:-2
that, you know, this could be
your job at some point.

00:02:06.835 --> 00:02:09.671 align:center line:-2
Because, somebody is replacing
me, and at some point,

00:02:09.671 --> 00:02:12.716 align:center line:-2
somebody will replace him,
and so on, so forth.

00:02:12.716 --> 00:02:16.595 align:center line:-2
And someday, it'll become
somebody's interest

00:02:16.595 --> 00:02:18.263 align:center line:-1
at one point.

00:02:18.263 --> 00:02:20.891 align:center line:-2
To show your support
for your fellow CAF members,

00:02:20.891 --> 00:02:23.894 align:center line:-2
like and share recruitment posts
when they come up on your feed.

00:02:23.894 --> 00:02:25.896 align:center line:-2
There is no better way
to support the campaign

00:02:25.896 --> 00:02:27.606 align:center line:-1
than to be a part of it.

00:02:27.606 --> 00:02:29.858 align:center line:-2
