1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,240
We put warheads on foreheads.

2
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:09,120
We get down and dirty. 
We have a hard job. We have

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:11,820
manual labor.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,360
It's just awesome, and know
that all this hard work that we do to

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,400
send these rounds is paying off
downrange.

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,220
Every round that we have here

7
00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:33,560
has a purpose to it, and it going
downrange and supporting of troops on

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,840
the ground for denying enemy usage of a
certain place - there's nothing like it.

9
00:00:39,442 --> 00:00:41,853
because you know you're doing 
your job as artillerymen.

10
00:00:41,853 --> 00:00:44,946
We trained for this

11
00:00:44,946 --> 00:00:47,080
right here and to be able to come out
here and put our training to purpose,

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,393
put our training to use, feels awesome.

13
00:00:49,393 --> 00:00:51,294
It's great being able to know 
that everything we do

14
00:00:51,294 --> 00:00:55,256
is for a reason, that we're not just
training to train. Yeah, we're training to

15
00:00:55,256 --> 00:00:59,099
be proficient in our craft, but we're trying
to go downrange and support not only the

16
00:00:59,099 --> 00:01:01,046
people back home, but the 
people on the ground.

17
00:01:01,046 --> 00:01:06,615
It's just awesome, because there's

18
00:01:06,615 --> 00:01:09,057
only a certain amount of people that can
join the Army and wear this uniform.

19
00:01:09,057 --> 00:01:12,410
To be able to do this for everyone
else that can't? There's nothing like it.

20
00:01:12,410 --> 00:01:16,307
The Army runs in my family. I have a long
line of people that have joined the Army,

21
00:01:16,307 --> 00:01:18,253
so I just thought I'd keep 
on the tradition.

22
00:01:18,253 --> 00:01:20,862
These stripes on my chest mean everything to me.

23
00:01:20,862 --> 00:01:23,659
It tells me that every morning 
that I look in the mirror

24
00:01:23,659 --> 00:01:26,705
I see that I'm wearing stripes and I'm
a noncommissioned officer and I'm a leader of

25
00:01:26,705 --> 00:01:29,918
soldiers, and that's what I'm gonna do
for my soldiers, because my main job is

26
00:01:29,918 --> 00:01:33,181
to train and take care of the welfare of
these soldiers. If they're in harm's way

27
00:01:33,181 --> 00:01:36,897
I will put myself in harm's way to
protect all these soldiers so they go

28
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:40,957
home to their families to see their
loved ones. I'm gonna take the bullet for

29
00:01:40,957 --> 00:01:44,467
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,160
them. Any of them. They're my battle buddies
and my brothers and sisters I'll do what

30
00:01:44,467 --> 00:01:46,212
I got to to make sure everybody 
makes it home.
