00:04.663 --> 00:06.822
- First you feel like you're being sucked out of the plane

00:06.822 --> 00:08.596
and then as soon as your parachute inflates,

00:08.596 --> 00:11.679
it's just a calm that takes over you.

00:13.968 --> 00:18.135
You just realize the gravity of what you're doing.

00:18.543 --> 00:20.589
A good paratrooper is disciplined.

00:20.589 --> 00:23.317
They understand the mission and they know their role

00:23.317 --> 00:26.502
but they also understand everybody else's role.

00:26.502 --> 00:27.717
I'm an intelligence officer.

00:27.717 --> 00:29.173
^I know as soon as I hit the ground,

00:29.173 --> 00:30.876
^my job is to try to provide the updates

00:30.876 --> 00:32.793
^on the enemy situation.

00:33.019 --> 00:36.519
It's certainly one way to enter a country.

00:38.517 --> 00:40.371
You hit the ground and you immediately just thinking

00:40.371 --> 00:41.607
about where you need to go next

00:41.607 --> 00:43.862
and if there's an enemy directly in front of you,

00:43.862 --> 00:46.021
you join that little group of paratroopers

00:46.021 --> 00:48.324
and you suppress that enemy before you move onto

00:48.324 --> 00:51.215
whatever your ultimate mission might be.

00:51.215 --> 00:53.239
The fighting spirit and comradery

00:53.239 --> 00:55.092
that these paratroopers walk around with,

00:55.092 --> 00:58.425
it's inspiring and it's an honor to serve with people

00:58.425 --> 01:00.925
in an organization like this.
