00:00.271 --> 00:03.612
(gentle music)

00:03.612 --> 00:06.880
- This is the JLTV egress trainer.

00:06.880 --> 00:08.550
We also call it the JET.

00:08.550 --> 00:10.230
It is the maiden voyage.

00:10.230 --> 00:12.130
The training that's going on here today

00:12.130 --> 00:14.340
is the first time it's been used

00:14.340 --> 00:16.930
since it's been deployed here to Hawaii.

00:16.930 --> 00:18.050
We got it setup here.

00:18.050 --> 00:19.250
It's all ready to go.

00:19.250 --> 00:20.260
Marines are getting the class,

00:20.260 --> 00:22.740
and they're gonna be jumpin'
in the trainer pretty soon.

00:22.740 --> 00:26.950
This whole thing is gonna spin, full 360.

00:26.950 --> 00:28.800
They run 'em through a couple times.

00:28.800 --> 00:30.780
They stop at different
angles to show them how,

00:30.780 --> 00:31.960
what it feels like.

00:31.960 --> 00:35.670
This is the 30% angle, point
of no return, tipping point.

00:35.670 --> 00:37.550
You know, each vehicle has
a different tipping point.

00:37.550 --> 00:41.050
So, it gives you the feel
of being inside that vehicle

00:41.050 --> 00:43.010
and knowing when you're gonna go over.

00:43.010 --> 00:45.220
That's important 'cause a
lot of people don't realize

00:45.220 --> 00:48.480
with these up-armored doors
that they're extremely heavy.

00:48.480 --> 00:51.330
It's just, it's not somethin'
that you are prepared for

00:51.330 --> 00:52.544
until you've experienced it.

00:52.544 --> 00:53.877
- [Man] It's in!

00:55.370 --> 00:57.371
- The experience today,
it was, it was great.

00:57.371 --> 01:00.090
There's, there's different ways
to egress out of the system.

01:00.090 --> 01:02.402
In the sim, it was, it was stressful,

01:02.402 --> 01:03.560
a little, a little hot,

01:03.560 --> 01:05.930
and changing conditions at all times.

01:05.930 --> 01:06.763
It was rolling.

01:06.763 --> 01:07.780
So, stuff was going everywhere,

01:07.780 --> 01:10.070
and made, made the best out of it.

01:10.070 --> 01:11.730
I believe everyone should know this.

01:11.730 --> 01:13.010
We're transitioning out of Humvees

01:13.010 --> 01:14.720
more towards JLTVs in the future,

01:14.720 --> 01:17.510
and this'll be a great
tool and asset to have

01:17.510 --> 01:19.862
for situations that cause egress.

01:19.862 --> 01:22.445
