WEBVTT

00:10.040 --> 00:12.096
basically just attend to the marines

00:12.100 --> 00:14.270
with their medical needs . Whether it

00:14.270 --> 00:17.920
be simple cut two

00:17.950 --> 00:20.810
gunshot wounds to I . D . Explosion .

00:21.540 --> 00:24.820
Uh just treated medically you know

00:25.390 --> 00:27.501
and get them on that bird as quick as

00:27.501 --> 00:29.557
possible so that they make it to the

00:29.557 --> 00:32.690
hospital in time . Uh right before we

00:32.690 --> 00:34.801
step off for a mission or something .

00:34.801 --> 00:36.910
Usually I'm like I hope no one gets

00:36.910 --> 00:38.966
hurt today . I hope no one gets hurt

00:38.966 --> 00:41.690
today . And then I mean you know that

00:41.690 --> 00:44.600
they care about you so when you're out

00:44.600 --> 00:46.711
there you know that you know you have

00:46.711 --> 00:48.933
responsibility which is to take care of

00:48.933 --> 00:52.830
them . So I mean it's hard challenges .

00:52.830 --> 00:54.886
Well the gear just the gear alone we

00:54.886 --> 00:57.570
wear you know like some an extra £100

00:57.570 --> 01:01.050
easy uh Jumping canals

01:01.350 --> 01:04.850
out here . I'm only five ft 3 . It's

01:04.850 --> 01:07.990
pretty difficult out there but jumping

01:07.990 --> 01:11.650
those canals uh And just military life

01:11.650 --> 01:13.428
in general . You know it's just

01:13.428 --> 01:16.570
challenging being away from home . You

01:16.570 --> 01:20.370
know I used to be a top person wake up

01:20.370 --> 01:22.570
at two in the afternoon , stay out to

01:22.570 --> 01:25.160
like four in the morning . So I mean

01:25.170 --> 01:27.780
you gotta wake up at 5 30 every day .

01:27.790 --> 01:30.630
Go on Petey . It's difficult to

01:30.640 --> 01:32.960
transcend to that but I mean it's

01:32.960 --> 01:35.660
rewarding you know .

01:36.540 --> 01:39.390
Well I mean we got hello inserted .

01:39.400 --> 01:42.820
Uh Get off that bird . My legs were

01:42.820 --> 01:45.110
shaking . I'm not gonna lie . I

01:45.120 --> 01:47.176
couldn't really see anything . There

01:47.176 --> 01:49.790
was no loom with the N . V . Gs . Uh We

01:49.790 --> 01:52.340
didn't really uh nothing really

01:52.340 --> 01:54.284
happened that night . The next day

01:54.284 --> 01:58.140
though we got ambush out on a patrol .

01:58.150 --> 02:02.130
Uh Again no one got hurt , which it

02:02.130 --> 02:06.030
was great . However , the next day one

02:06.030 --> 02:08.308
of my marines got shot in the shoulder .

02:08.308 --> 02:10.610
My junior , my junior Corman was there

02:10.610 --> 02:13.250
to take care of them . So I did that

02:14.040 --> 02:16.250
the next day . The and a commander was

02:16.250 --> 02:19.430
shot in the face . Remember we had a

02:19.430 --> 02:21.880
sprint about 50 m to get to him . And

02:21.890 --> 02:24.340
uh it was me and staff sergeant ran

02:24.340 --> 02:28.260
across , got to him , uh treated

02:28.260 --> 02:30.330
he had facial wounds . So I tried to

02:30.330 --> 02:32.720
stop the bleeding , try to keep him

02:32.730 --> 02:35.570
from going into shock . Uh calling the

02:35.570 --> 02:37.792
line line , the bird came in and uh you

02:37.792 --> 02:41.420
got medevac ? Uh Yes .

02:41.430 --> 02:45.260
Uh they do . Uh I remember

02:45.260 --> 02:47.170
one mission we did . Uh one of my

02:47.170 --> 02:49.910
marines was shot and uh he was killed

02:49.910 --> 02:52.750
that day . Remember the first words

02:52.750 --> 02:54.917
when I came back from the mission ? Or

02:54.917 --> 02:57.150
doc , are you okay ? How you feeling ?

02:58.260 --> 03:00.970
And I mean they knew something was up .

03:00.980 --> 03:04.810
So they definitely look out for me and

03:04.820 --> 03:07.080
the other Corman . And uh it's like a

03:07.080 --> 03:07.850
big family
