00:01.400 --> 00:03.650
- Both my grandpas served
in the Vietnam War.

00:04.590 --> 00:07.040
I found out that he was an artilleryman

00:07.040 --> 00:11.990
after I joined the military
without my mom's permission.

00:11.990 --> 00:14.640
And she found out that I was
going into field artillery,

00:14.640 --> 00:15.810
she was like, "That's
what your grandpa did."

00:15.810 --> 00:18.240
I never knew, and then
she told me what he did,

00:18.240 --> 00:19.430
that's how he died.

00:19.430 --> 00:22.300
We have a N triple seven A two,

00:22.300 --> 00:25.330
that shoots that one-five-five round out.

00:25.330 --> 00:29.100
Depending on what propellant,
it travels between 350 feet

00:29.100 --> 00:31.480
per second to almost like 400 or so.

00:31.480 --> 00:34.590
It can be used for support, attacking.

00:34.590 --> 00:36.885
It has eight-two rounds, smoke, illums,

00:36.885 --> 00:39.170
anything to help out the troops.

00:39.170 --> 00:41.086
Alpha Battery's been really good.

00:41.086 --> 00:43.523
It's like a second home to me, so.

00:45.222 --> 00:47.760
We're getting a little too much heat,

00:47.760 --> 00:49.510
everyone's talking funny, you know,

00:49.510 --> 00:53.120
making funny jokes, staying stupid things.

00:53.120 --> 00:56.230
But it's fun though, this is
what brotherhood is all about,

00:56.230 --> 00:59.167
you know, and I wouldn't
trade it for anything.

00:59.167 --> 01:02.667
(rock music and gunshots)
