00:06.540 --> 00:09.850
filled sketching has gone back for

00:09.850 --> 00:12.072
years and years and years in the army .

00:12.072 --> 00:14.183
Um but the thing that you do when you

00:14.183 --> 00:16.239
actually draw it out as you notice a

00:16.239 --> 00:16.070
lot of things that you wouldn't notice

00:16.070 --> 00:19.710
just staring at the mountain . Um You

00:19.710 --> 00:22.780
tend to really focus on places that

00:22.790 --> 00:24.560
natural lines of drift

00:26.240 --> 00:28.680
places . You would use terrain that you

00:28.680 --> 00:31.450
would use um to maneuver things ,

00:31.460 --> 00:33.760
things of that nature . So it really ,

00:33.770 --> 00:36.710
you know if you draw it out you get a

00:36.710 --> 00:40.630
lot more detail and uh then you would

00:40.630 --> 00:42.797
have just taken a picture , you know ,

00:43.040 --> 00:45.210
never true fire team leader slash

00:45.210 --> 00:48.660
sniper . Um try to create as much

00:48.660 --> 00:50.716
standoff between us and the enemy as

00:50.716 --> 00:52.771
possible . She as much as possible .

00:52.771 --> 00:56.270
I'm on my own time and then competing

00:56.270 --> 00:58.381
in a couple of three gun competitions

00:58.381 --> 01:00.492
and you know something I really enjoy

01:00.492 --> 01:02.437
doing . I did a lot of hunting and

01:02.437 --> 01:05.060
growing up , my dad and I always went

01:05.840 --> 01:09.450
john I have a wife mhm

01:10.140 --> 01:13.520
and other one boy and two girls I enjoy

01:13.520 --> 01:17.310
what I do . Um I really do . Oh you

01:17.310 --> 01:19.421
know but I've missed so much of their

01:19.421 --> 01:22.650
lives that on . You know I regret some

01:22.650 --> 01:24.710
of it . But you know the experiences

01:24.710 --> 01:26.960
that I've gained over here and the

01:27.540 --> 01:30.160
you know the knowledge that I've gained

01:30.160 --> 01:32.271
over here , you can't do it any other

01:32.271 --> 01:36.170
way in the army unless you do it wild

01:36.170 --> 01:40.100
deployed . So it was

01:40.100 --> 01:43.140
my first time to Afghanistan and and I

01:43.140 --> 01:45.251
really enjoyed the work that I did in

01:45.251 --> 01:47.029
Iraq but Afghanistan is a whole

01:47.029 --> 01:50.250
different fight , you know and uh a lot

01:50.250 --> 01:52.680
of fun at times so you can do a lot of

01:52.680 --> 01:55.200
neat stuff . Excuse me , is pretty neat .

01:56.770 --> 02:00.570
Took some indirect mm , you know , I

02:00.570 --> 02:04.090
jumped on the gun and one of the other

02:04.090 --> 02:06.930
soldiers here spotted for me , we're

02:06.930 --> 02:09.280
trying to identify a pu site . They

02:09.280 --> 02:11.502
were shooting at a shooting at the rest

02:11.502 --> 02:13.558
of the opportunity down there . Opie

02:13.558 --> 02:15.780
flawed , you know , and and I wanted to

02:15.780 --> 02:17.891
find him before . You know , they got

02:17.891 --> 02:20.113
that lucky around in and hit them , you

02:20.113 --> 02:22.224
know , luckily luckily we found found

02:22.224 --> 02:26.160
the poof site and no engaged in with

02:26.160 --> 02:29.350
them fixed wing aircraft . So I never

02:29.350 --> 02:31.294
had to fight for thanksgiving Bill

02:31.294 --> 02:33.517
before . So it makes me happy that that

02:33.517 --> 02:35.739
I actually got to go to do the training

02:35.739 --> 02:37.906

02:43.320 --> 02:45.560

02:46.440 --> 02:50.080

02:50.080 --> 02:52.530
You get to shoot guns and watch things

02:52.530 --> 02:54.586
blow up for a living , you know , so

02:55.730 --> 02:58.820
