00:00.179 --> 00:03.470
- My name is AC Patrick Robinson.

00:03.470 --> 00:07.320
So my job here in RAAF Base
Darwin Air Movements Team,

00:07.320 --> 00:10.450
so our job here is primarily to load

00:10.450 --> 00:11.394
and unload all the aircraft,

00:11.394 --> 00:15.720
as well as preparing and
receiving all of the cargo.

00:15.720 --> 00:16.789
Oh, definitely.

00:16.789 --> 00:19.400
So the job is definitely rewarding.

00:19.400 --> 00:21.810
So it's definitely valuable,

00:21.810 --> 00:23.511
it's a to good experience to learn.

00:23.511 --> 00:27.420
So I'm originally from
South East Queensland,

00:27.420 --> 00:29.020
a small town called Maryborough.

00:30.763 --> 00:33.270
It's a lot different really,

00:33.270 --> 00:36.100
so up here it's a lot more humid,

00:36.100 --> 00:37.320
very different weather.

00:37.320 --> 00:39.890
So down there it gets a lot more cooler

00:39.890 --> 00:41.870
during the winter time,

00:41.870 --> 00:43.479
and up here it's constantly hot.

00:43.479 --> 00:46.150
Not before coming here,

00:46.150 --> 00:48.570
I've never really been
involved with Marines before,

00:48.570 --> 00:49.713
especially throughout my career

00:49.713 --> 00:52.710
in Defence and in the Air Force.

00:52.710 --> 00:54.900
It's definitely rewarding.

00:54.900 --> 00:57.803
It's a lot different compared
to how we work as well.

00:59.030 --> 01:02.390
I like to watch them and witness them,

01:02.390 --> 01:06.243
see how they have a very
hardworking persona.

01:08.297 --> 01:12.260
I would call them my mate, friends, bro,

01:12.260 --> 01:13.590
just stuff like that,

01:13.590 --> 01:14.840
just simple.

01:14.840 --> 01:17.730
One that I generally use,

01:17.730 --> 01:19.180
sometimes a little bit older,

01:20.355 --> 01:21.433
but stuff like cobba,

01:22.291 --> 01:24.853
it's just an older version of mate.

01:25.933 --> 01:28.670
I would think it's very important

01:28.670 --> 01:31.440
because it sort of maintains a good trust

01:31.440 --> 01:32.830
between the Australian Defence Force

01:32.830 --> 01:35.490
and the U.S. Marine Corps.

01:35.490 --> 01:37.004
I think it shows that
we have a very strong,

01:37.004 --> 01:39.433
trusting relationship
with the Marine Corps.
