6:31 pm
three. four my new regiment another received heavily focused on combat training and every day we're out on the square learning our own fighting drills at the moment we work individually but it won't be too long before we're facing off against each other. it's the elite. station a real man has to be ahead of everyone to be the best or the one i think that the paratroopers of the greatest. just like him to look everyone is assigned various responsibilities each day i'm back to see although this time i'm at the front of the base rather than in the barracks. was because you see god for the control points reason for your visit returning to base your documents. security is paramount every vehicle that
6:32 pm
drives up has to be thoroughly checked even our own trucks nobody takes any chances here it's only after we've looked into every nook and cranny that they're allowed on the base. i'm not sure whether it's the benefit of experience but everyone seems more confident here and it's a good thing because a live fire exercises are about to be ramped up it's a tough job for the man in charge. and sometimes i get tired of ordering people it happens from time to time the guys don't obey me but i was given the task of commanding the company and i have to do it so in any case i'll remember this time with a smile it was tough sometimes but everything will be fine i'm sure we'll do our military duty. today the war games really got started we were assaulting a hill with full support. with
6:33 pm
a good machine gun to goes first second is private brown private brown after him the squad leader your next and you bring up the rear beside the vehicle but everyone mind your distance to look around to check your comrades and remember you're using live ammunition so you. life depends on following the safety procedures. and you have to come back safe and sound up any questions you know some are. always crouched in the bottom of the boiling hot tank there's barely room to breathe let alone move. and then just like that you're out running. the. last six months called spread out and headed to our places.
6:34 pm
we're moving in a race of knots run crouch and fall but you've got to make sure the right person is in your sights stop. these i mean right in front of you and you got too close to each other to shoot when you're behind someone number one go. heading downhill it's a nightmare just staying on your feet. when the tank in the grenade launcher open up alongside you it does tend to push you forward. by the time we hit the boat some my legs were in agony so i tumbled into my folks so i don't think i could have taken another step. we get around
6:35 pm
each day to ourselves and at least there's a t.v. room where we can chill out most of the time i just use it to recover or to write to you of course but there's always someone new to chat with. stupid what was the hardest moment for you is this here in the army. probably all the. ezekial training apart from some drills like marching drills jumping isn't easy either. for the army have you decided what you want to do you know i'm studying at university and want to find a good job and be the best in my field of logistics if possible i'd like to stay in the army as a contractor because they pay well now and allow you to do external studies. life in the dormitory is like being in a five star hotel you sleep so much better when you only have to deal with two other people snoring. i'm good how are you going nuff
6:36 pm
special. and i'm going to need all the energy i can get. we've been building up to a first day of full sparring and most of the time we're working on shadow boxing and the basic maneuvers. with a straight and you. understand. tension get ready. continue with all right. it's time to pick up. and start scrapping. because eventually you're going to have to put on the gloves and the headgear and trundle the hell out of each other. i've got. to. defend defend.
6:37 pm

6:45 pm
no i want james. faster. people. but. not so let's get a soldier who has never fought never met his enemy face to face or never felt the strength of his enemy is not ready psychologically or physically to fight but that is why the most important and the only possible way to overcome those fears is to practice and to spar. one thing you do in the paratroopers the assistance if you get knocked down you go to get back up again i was. going to. dive into body oh i don't i don't like the.
6:46 pm
top up stuff. you. know you go. this is well done. so that was a good lesson when you're ok. most that are fairly basic of course. of course time to hand combat is a last resort ideally heavy artillery should make sure the enemy never gets that place. in on time drills where alpha trolling the hills almost every day. bloody on salt is a double edged sword you spread the intense heat from inside but you have to hang
6:47 pm
on to do in life and i view my. it's to inhale some air among the clouds of dust but tanks and their stories sleep temperamental and maintaining them is a full time job. on the child first we all have girlfriends we call them and feel happy and each then in three or four sometimes even five months it's like what's wrong with i've broken up with my girlfriend why she cheated on me how do you know my friends told me it happened to me too everything seemed to be fine then i colts and her cell phone was off. anyway she's not the only one. apparently gives you women trouble. don't forget it's not too long to moan coming home. we've been moved into a field camp so sadly my days of comfortable living are over. there are about
6:48 pm
thirty of a searing a tent and most of our chores involved digging out the ground for new ones to be put up. i'm spending a lot of time with my tank pursued apparently they've got something special in store for me i'm not sure whether to be a warrior or not. james now we're going to drive a tank of you. courage and resolve that brace yourself you've got ready ready. get into position here. head forward and tuck your gun and. lead in the right direction of the tank. keep your elbows close the closer you keep them below you'll be ready. let's go.
6:49 pm
congratulations your training has been a success. there were you done it. and the more you train your soldiers the more you learn about that was you see what they can do and how they can do it you become confident in and of yourself as well. if anything were to happen you'll shore up the bus and do everything well it's theirs but the doing as a unit is capable of performing any time because of his training. let us know the enemy has been identified most of the group is going to. with the objective of capturing one of the captain's offices. one chapter of the group.
6:50 pm
so there's a. understood team. get into position private smoke signal the attack you take the left flank i'll take the right. i just get used to having the tanks on my side now we have to learn how to ambush one .
6:51 pm
of the ridge across the. fifteen vehicles. they haven't told to interrogation techniques yet i think that must be an advanced course. one of the regular favorites here is but we eat with a chunk of can beef. but it's calories and we all empty all messed hints. despite the fact that we're living in a muddy fields we still have to keep ourselves clean and tidy and there are a few tricks of been able to pick up. ok how do you feel all together which i mean at the beginning was essential initially we didn't understand each
6:52 pm
other at all of course because we were all from different cultures with different approaches to life and first there were conflicts but in two or three weeks we got used to each other and became friends. everything's been fine since you learned to get on with people who are that's essential here. like your tunic is almost ready we only have to dry it when it's dry it'll look fine with just stamp it a bit more here so that it won't rip. tides out light out out lights. tomorrow i get a chance of redemption. all the training. all the pain i'm about to find out if it's been worth it. one thing's for sure it's going to be terrifying.
6:53 pm
a couple of weeks ago if you told me i'd be sitting on the tarmac waiting to jump out of an airplane loft. my last training session on the practice tower was a disaster i couldn't go through with it. i was only forty metres i'm about to try a. jumping from an illusion is worse than from an answer off the answer no if it's like jumping off a stool you just drop nothing to be afraid of but here a strong gust catches you and it's just amazing if you think you're ready. for let's see. hope so. we're waiting for what seems like hours eventually we get the all clear good weather's too on the horizon perfect
6:54 pm
jumping conditions. there's no backing out this time. i'm going to have people in front of me i'm behind if i don't go no one else can it's not an option. the equipment checked one last time and we're ready to fly. everyone's handling it in a different way. there are guys here who jump three or four times and this has never done it before. on trying to think about anything roll them what's about to happen as the plane takes off. i hope i'm in for a soft landing. first the tank goes out the back and then it's off. this is what makes the bit of a unique. guy say it's better when you can see the ground. help the right.
6:55 pm
the moment you realize you're actually open must be the great speeling in the world . blissful relief. and with the wind direction. it's easy to lose your concentration but you still have to think about landing the wrong position could mean a broken leg or worse. take the harness off.
6:56 pm
