MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Sgt. 1st Class Chris Farley has produced four seasons of his program, called “The Sight Picture,” but until about a year ago, not many people outside the 88th Regional Readiness Command at Fort Snelling could see it.

In this episode, which Farley shot in Uganda last year, an Army Reserve unit is vaccinating livestock at a displaced persons camp.

“Well, we inject the animals. We treat them for worms, deworm them and other sorts of diseases they have, skin diseases and so on and so forth, do the chickens, do the goats,” goes the video.

Farley says this is the kind of routine Army Reserve humanitarian mission that the public rarely hears about. He says that is what is so great about posting on YouTube.

“Even if you got one hit,” he said, “that is one person that knows about you and it is a huge rippling effect.”
