00:05.190 --> 00:06.810
- My name's Lieutenant Grantham,

00:06.810 --> 00:10.190
I'm from San Diego, California.

00:10.190 --> 00:12.100
I commissioned through ROTC,

00:12.100 --> 00:15.343
through Texas Christian
University in Fort Worth, Texas.

00:16.310 --> 00:18.070
I chose the MP Corp because

00:18.070 --> 00:19.400
I liked the idea

00:19.400 --> 00:21.880
of being able to do both law enforcement

00:21.880 --> 00:23.553
and field training.

00:24.430 --> 00:26.890
I continue to serve in the MP Corp

00:26.890 --> 00:29.370
because I love working with the soldiers

00:29.370 --> 00:30.820
and they inspire me everyday.

00:31.860 --> 00:33.940
Honestly, there's not
really a typical day,

00:33.940 --> 00:35.040
it's always different.

00:36.000 --> 00:37.570
Depending on what cycle we're in

00:37.570 --> 00:41.280
with law enforcement doing different...

00:42.360 --> 00:43.880
It is different everyday though.

00:43.880 --> 00:48.180
Because, like right now
we're in our green cycle,

00:48.180 --> 00:49.580
so we're doing field training

00:49.580 --> 00:51.110
which means that we actually have

00:51.110 --> 00:53.420
the whole platoon together.

00:53.420 --> 00:55.500
During the day we get to do PT together

00:55.500 --> 00:58.930
and then we're preparing for
missions to go in the field.

00:58.930 --> 01:00.500
Doing a lot of ranges.

01:00.500 --> 01:02.200
And then when we're working the road

01:02.200 --> 01:04.930
it's different because
depending on what shift it is,

01:04.930 --> 01:09.020
then I go to the office, and
then I do shift PT with them.

01:09.020 --> 01:10.783
And so then that's more,

01:11.635 --> 01:13.710
I'm preparing for the
field and other stuff.

01:13.710 --> 01:15.483
So, it just depends.

01:17.320 --> 01:18.930
- I'm First Lieutenant Amanda Coleman.

01:18.930 --> 01:20.760
I commissioned through ROTC

01:20.760 --> 01:23.060
out of California State
University, Fullerton.

01:24.230 --> 01:25.330
I chose the MP Corp

01:25.330 --> 01:28.130
because I have family in law
enforcement and also the Army.

01:28.130 --> 01:30.150
So I thought it was kind
of best of both worlds.

01:30.150 --> 01:32.600
I also like the aspect of being a soldier

01:32.600 --> 01:34.400
and being a law enforcement officer.

01:35.510 --> 01:38.030
I continue to serve
because of the soldiers.

01:38.030 --> 01:40.200
Seeing them out there
on the road everyday,

01:40.200 --> 01:42.410
whether we're in road
cycle or a field cycle,

01:42.410 --> 01:45.823
they inspire me to work
better and harder for them.

01:47.230 --> 01:50.170
A typical day for a platoon
leader, I wake up early.

01:50.170 --> 01:53.220
I have PT with my soldiers at 06:30,

01:53.220 --> 01:55.200
I'll get to the office about 9:00.

01:55.200 --> 01:56.660
If they're doing law enforcement,

01:56.660 --> 01:58.610
I'll focus on admin actions.

01:58.610 --> 01:59.810
If they're in a field cycle,

01:59.810 --> 02:02.980
I'll be planning their
ranges and their FTX's.

02:02.980 --> 02:04.910
If we do a live fire exercise,

02:04.910 --> 02:06.970
making sure I have the
ammo allocated for them,

02:06.970 --> 02:09.153
and all the safety requirements.
