security is paramount every vehicle that drives up has to be thoroughly checked even our own trucks nobody takes any chances here it's only also 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 armor support. machine gun it goes first second is private brown private brown after him the squad leader your next and you bring up the rear beside the vehicle everyone mind your distance to look around to check your comrades and remember you're using live ammunition so your life depends on following the safety procedures. and you have to come back safe and sound up any questions no sir. i was 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.

six months spread out i'm headed to a places. that jack. we're moving in a race of. crouch and fought but you've got to make sure the right person is in your sights. move. these i mean right in front of you and you've got to close to each other go to shoot when you're behind someone number one go. down hill it's a nightmare just staying on your feet. in the tank and the grenade launcher open up alongside you it does tend to push you forward. by the time we hit the bottom my legs were in agony so i tumbled into my foxhole i

don't think i could have taken another step. we get around 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 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 physical 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 get 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. how you james i'm good how are you going nuff 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 maneuvers. with a straight. attention to get ready. to speed. 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 got. to slow. and.

just missed my last to see about twenty years ago i'm going to have to remember it . in the mean time i was taking on one of the mountain regiments toughest challenges. the whole thing is a hellish test. jumping. and shooting with no chance of a break. and come. the idea is to train you to overcome extreme conditions whether you're walking

along ledges. james move. or the ways are gone. faster than leaping down canyons you want your friends back in clear out any oncoming enemy. at this paratroopers obstacle course must be crossed by a division as a whole it means that the success of the filling tasks doesn't depend on a single soldier but on cooperation between soldiers of this division. cover a char. with each soldier polish as the skills he had acquired before coming here from their own

units so we improve what they had already learned before. you can see soldiers manage this obstacle course well. the divisions work in coordination. if the kids. move. it's things like this that make you realize just how fit the power tripping needs to be go to the club you will have nothing left to give. a look you're grabbing at wrong. take it like that there's a hole if you see your fingers like wet push closer to the rock feel it lie on. your right leg there. stand up and straighten it and you know the council come on come on try harder to the end.

the blue hold come on. discuss. it's too hard. i can have no more strength so. more almost a goal of course ends here with this climbing wall if you fail to do your task here you let the whole group down his life and his life depend on you you must cooperate and if one of you fails it means all of you fail. right use your head you have to think right now is the time when you think higher up higher. go there you are. keep going back an excellent. that's it was. a great. ground loop to come on. but is one for a little for one here there's always someone there to help you get through. come on

there's not much left. to come on come on do it yourself. come on well done stuff. well done. it's done. joyously. but you've got a satisfactory result i'm pleased with here the task is complete you've done well i've got nothing to say excellent well. give me five you want to me i better come or chip is vital in the army we try to build a good team spirit to make a friendly atmosphere i help you today tomorrow you help me and if you couldn't get

through the fence today and you got stuck i helped tomorrow i could fail to when god forbid injured myself and you'll help me that's what's important to the army friendship and a close knit team in situations like this real team spirit reveals itself you can see straight away who's your friend who's not. really prepare you for an actual fight. true to the bigger they are the harder they fall. don't touch the headgear ok and i grab again no hits to the girl in. the best nothing will if anything happens. break off immediately. already again.

i want to again. james miley right. pretty. well pretty. you would know really know her. language as well but i will only react to situations as i have read the reports so unlike the players no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say it's. a car is on the docket. they go no more weasel words. when you made a direct question be prepared for a change when you have to punch be ready for a battle pretty speech and

a little down to freedom to question. activism politics in a cold place and a whole lot of media publicity what is greenpeace all about today is it is smug and self promoting or a brave environmentalist group opinions vary and at the very center of the debate surrounding organizations such as greenpeace is the question whether they have the right to operate outside the law. the interview. feel good.

activism politics in a cold place and a whole lot of media publicity what is greenpeace all about today is it is smug and self promoting or a brave environmentalist group opinions vary and at the very center of the debate surrounding organizations such as greenpeace is the question whether they have the right to operate outside the law. now on james. people. but. not so look at 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 that is

why the most important and the only. way to overcome those fears is to practice and to spark. one thing you do in the paratroopers though is persistence if you get knocked down you go to get back up again as i was. going to. die with a body oh i don't know what the. top up stuff. you. know you go. this is well done. that was a good lesson while you're ok. moto feel a bit sick of course.

of course time to hand combat is a last resort ideally heavy artillery should make sure the enemy never gets that close. in on time drills where patrolling the hills almost every day. monday on salt is a double edged sword you spread the intense heat from inside but you have to hang on for dear life you managed to inhale some air among the clouds of dust the tanks and the story 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 you know if 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 and i colts on 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 learn coming home. we've been moved into a field camp so sadly my days of comfortable living are over. there are about 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 persued 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. courage and resolve. brace yourself 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. congratulations you're training has been a success. there were you done it. and the more you train your soldiers the more you learn about that was. 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 sure do everything well. this business unit is capable of performing any time because of this training let us know the enemy's been identified group is going to lie. with the objective of capturing one of the captains offices or sergeants one chapter of the group. on this side 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

. of the ridge across the. fifteen vehicles. they haven't taught us 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 almes tents. 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 that you know initially we didn't understand each other at all of course because we were all from different cultures with different approaches to life and at 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. 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. 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 it. was only forty metres i'm about to try a. jumping from an illusion is worse than from an answer off the answer now if it's like jumping off

a stool you just drop nothing to be afraid of but if a strong gust catches you going to just amazing you think you're ready. for let's see the hopes that. we're waiting for what seems like hours eventually we get the all clear good weather's too on the horizon perfect 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 snow melts. 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 have jumped three or four times and this me has never done it before. i'm 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. this is what makes the bit of a unique. the guys say it's better when you can't see the ground. i hope they're right. the moment you realize your shoes actually open must be the greatest feeling 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. and actually made it for that brief moment i felt like a power trip. well probably brown now your more than just a parachute jump you're a real paratrooper thank you very much so congratulations now into position for the initiation into position for the initiation. let's do it.

two three. four hundred one five hundred two five hundred three pull five hundred four father and five be. nobody but us that. way of life and no task is impossible we can make it all happen. doesn't matter what kind of situation it is. we have to be there first and fulfill the term ask to make our government proud of us and this is our motto for life is how we live. look. right often don't forget to take a. break my hand. i can see why everyone says they're different men off to the army some sacrifice these young soldiers have

to make for me it was exhilarating agonizing heartbreaking and amazing but i won't lie i'm relieved i'm coming home. plentiful supply was terrible they weren't very hard to make going to lead to get along here a plug that had sex with the earthquake their lives let's play. lists the i'm.
