1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,430
- Transitioning from every
day life being a reservist

2
00:00:03,430 --> 00:00:06,325
is definitely a little bit
different, because, you know.

3
00:00:06,325 --> 00:00:07,940
(bomb explosion)

4
00:00:07,940 --> 00:00:09,990
So used to seeing our
families and all of a sudden

5
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:12,776
we got (beep) blowing up right next to us.

6
00:00:12,776 --> 00:00:15,581
(sentimental mood music)

7
00:00:15,581 --> 00:00:18,581
(soldier footsteps)

8
00:00:23,130 --> 00:00:24,960
Field life is pretty much the ideal

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,110
scenario for the best
training you can get.

10
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:30,420
It definitely makes days go by long.

11
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:32,360
There's not a really good way to get all

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,310
the rocks off from underneath
you, kinda everywhere

13
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:36,230
you can't really avoid them.

14
00:00:36,230 --> 00:00:37,860
It cools down a little bit at night,

15
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:39,723
but it's hot daily.

16
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:44,210
Sucks about living out here
in the field, the worse

17
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:45,700
part is easily the heat.

18
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:47,640
There's no way to escape it, seems like

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,690
everything you do kinda drags.

20
00:00:49,690 --> 00:00:51,430
Until you finally get
to the end of the day

21
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:53,573
and you get to sit down and everyone

22
00:00:53,573 --> 00:00:55,760
is kinda laughing about
how much it sucked.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,993
You've enjoyed it, it's
well worth it for it.

24
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:03,300
- The benefit of field
life for the marines,

25
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:06,080
is that when you put everybody
in a nasty environment,

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,540
it forms a bond between the guys.

27
00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:11,540
An army cohesion depends
on their brotherhood

28
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:12,373
their bond.

29
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:15,680
- It's well worth it
when you get to get back

30
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,090
and fall asleep on a bed.

31
00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:18,600
It's something that no
one else would understand

32
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,155
unless you went through it.

33
00:01:20,155 --> 00:01:20,988
(gun shot)

34
00:01:20,988 --> 00:01:23,640
Sleeping on the field,
is as close as you can

35
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,630
as the best training to

36
00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:27,220
simulate what we're going
to be going through.

37
00:01:27,220 --> 00:01:30,310
Worse part about it is,
probably the lack of being

38
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:31,710
able to change your cammies.

39
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,100
Going back to the normal
life, it's a lot easier

40
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,020
than transitioning into
being in the field.

41
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:43,220
But it definitely feels
nice to get back into it.

42
00:01:43,220 --> 00:01:46,010
Our reserve unit's from
Fort Devens, Massachusetts,

43
00:01:46,010 --> 00:01:47,340
right outside of Boston.

44
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:50,180
So coming out here is a
little bit of a shift.

45
00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:53,060
You know we're not exactly
used to a 105° here,

46
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:55,840
with the sun beating down on you everyday.

47
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,330
But it's nice to see that all you guys

48
00:01:57,330 --> 00:01:59,780
can get acclimated too
and get the job done.
