00:00.050 --> 00:01.070
(tools click)

00:01.070 --> 00:03.270
- [Man] Out here, we are building weapons

00:03.270 --> 00:05.330
that we generally don't
build or have the opportunity

00:05.330 --> 00:09.200
to build back at Barksdale,
so my guys out here,

00:09.200 --> 00:12.510
they're getting really
good hands-on training

00:12.510 --> 00:14.970
with live munitions on weapons

00:14.970 --> 00:17.690
that they just generally don't
have that experience with.

00:17.690 --> 00:20.353
So it's good to take this back home

00:20.353 --> 00:23.830
and in the future when we do deploy again,

00:23.830 --> 00:25.130
they'll have this in their back pocket

00:25.130 --> 00:27.258
so they'll be ready to rock and
roll when we hit the ground.

00:27.258 --> 00:29.827
(engines hum)

00:29.827 --> 00:33.480
This is one of the better
times to be an ammo trooper,

00:33.480 --> 00:35.293
munitions systems technician.

00:36.453 --> 00:39.890
We get out, go deploy, and
we get to build weapons

00:39.890 --> 00:42.520
that could actually be used for a mission.

00:42.520 --> 00:46.390
And when we see the B-52's
takeoff, loaded with our stuff

00:46.390 --> 00:48.210
and they come back clean, it gives us

00:48.210 --> 00:52.050
that sense of accomplishment
that what we did actually

00:52.050 --> 00:53.860
has that direct impact on the mission.

00:53.860 --> 00:57.040
It's a one of a kind
feeling, I can't describe it,

00:57.040 --> 01:00.263
and honestly wouldn't
have it any other way.
