attention. and hand combat maneuvers on my count by division. one. three. four my new regiment another a c. heavily focused on combat training and every day we're out on the square learning our unarmed 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 learn 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 to get you to god for the control points reason for your visit returning to base your

documents. 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 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 armor support. machine gun 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 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 you're out running. on.

all six months called spread out and headed to our places. we were moving in a race of knots run crouch and fall for you go 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 goal. 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 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. 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 special. and i'm going to need all the energy i can get. we've been building up. and most of the time we're working on shadow boxing and the basic maneuvers. with a straight. attention to get ready. to speak. continue with you 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 head gear and the hell out of each other.

i've got. to slow. and. just missed my last to see about twenty years ago i'm going to have to remember. in the mean time i was taking on one of the mountain regiments 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 mud or the ways are gone. faster than leaping down canyons you want your friends but can 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 h.r. until it.

was shot but each soldier publishes the skills he had acquired before coming here from their own units so we improve what they had already learned before you know as you can see soldiers manage this obstacle course well. the divisions work in coordination. you. move. it's things like this that make you realize just how fit the paratrooper needs to be go to the club you will have nothing left to give. you 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 hot. i can't 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 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 hire fire. go there e.r. . keep going ok excellent. that's it was. great. grab the load 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. let's just go joy isnt it. but you've got a satisfactory result i'm pleased with your task is complete you've done well i've got nothing to say excellent well who. you want to be had better come or chip is vital in the army we try to build a good team spirit 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 straightaway who's your friend who's not. training in the really prepare you for an actual. truth to the bigger they are the harder they fall. don't touch the headgear ok and i grab again you know hit the girl in. the best nothing will if anything happens. break off immediately. already again.

i wonder ok. james they were right. and your hands pretty. well pretty. you know no really now. i was convinced in all my interaction with iran that. iran was nobbs determined to make nuclear weapons but it was important for them their position and identity. be seen and shown a sense of dignity. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by

looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker c. it's a step forward for oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying in vietnam it was and it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent on. this bills.

legalese . rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. a little. you know 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 spark. one thing you do in the paratroopers the assistants if you get knocked down you go to get back up again i was. going to. die but a body well i don't i don't want. to go but stuff. you.

just said well done. that was a good lesson while you're ok. motera feel a bit sick of course. because time to hand combat is a last resort ideally heavy artillery should make sure the enemy never gets that place. in all time drills where out patrolling the hills almost every day. bloody on salt is a double edged sword you spend the intense heat from inside but you have to hang on for dear life. it's to inhale some air among the clouds of dust the tanks and their stories sleep temperamental and maintaining them is a full time job. on

the chart 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 called on her cell phone was off. anyway she's not the only one. apparently the army 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 warriors or not.

james now we're going to drive a tank of you. courage and resolve that brace yourself you've got ready ready is the big get into position here. head forward and tuck your gun and. the lead in the right direction of the tank. keep your elbows close the closer you keep them the lower you'll be ready. let's go .

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 through the school can 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 your boss and they'll 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 lie in ambush with the objective of capturing one of the captains offices or sergeants one captain of the group. on this side so there's a clear yes begin understood team.

get into position private brown smoke will 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 one some of those. taking 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 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 the first ever conflicts but in two or three weeks we got used to each other and became friends. everything's been fine since he 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 them just stamp it a bit more here so that it won't rip. them. 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. 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 if a strong gust catches you 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 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 checks 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 has never done it before. 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. this is what makes them a bit of a unique. the guys say it's better when you can see the ground. i hope they're right.

the moment you realize your shoes 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. 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 so you're a real paratrooper thank you very much 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 pool five hundred four father and five can't 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 task to make our government proud of us and this is our motto for life is how we live. look.

right. take care of. them don't break my hand. i can see why everyone says they're different men off to the army it's 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. wealthy british style.
