We got an inside look at the United States Marine Corps' intense 13-week basic training program. Chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan spent five days at the Marine Corps Recruit Training Depot in San Diego, California, where he observed different companies at various stages of training.
Enlisted recruits who live west of the Mississippi River attend basic training in San Diego, where women have only trained since 2021. Men and women train together, but live in separate squad bays. Male and female recruits are not allowed to talk to each other during training. In week seven, recruits travel 40 miles north of San Diego to Camp Pendleton, where they complete their training.
Boot camp culminates with a 54-hour event known as The Crucible, in which recruits endure mental and physical challenges with minimal food and sleep. After completing The Crucible, recruits receive the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor pendant, marking their official transition to Marines.

00:00SHUT YOUR MOUTH, HEY, KRO!
00:07All right, sir.
00:09All right, let's go.
00:30Yes, sir!
00:35What you're gonna do, you're gonna drop off your recruiter's folder in that red crate,
00:40and you're gonna take that piece of paper that you have, and you're gonna hand it to the recruit.
00:43Does that make sense?
00:44Yes, sir!

04:58No!
04:59No!
05:00No!
05:01We're looking for a maximum of between 20 to 23 repetitions.
05:24The average is usually between like on the low side 1 and on the high side like 15 or 16.
05:29If the recruit is unable to do one pull-up, we'll authorize them to try to do push-ups.
05:34How many did you do?
05:36Zero, sir!
05:38Zero!
05:39Go away!
05:40All right, sir!
05:41Get out!
05:42Get out of here!
05:45Did you already do your pull-ups?
05:46Yes, sir!
05:47How many did you do?
05:48Twelve, sir!
05:56All right, sir!
05:59The moment your body goes down, your buds are going to take a knee, do you understand?
06:05Aye, sir!
06:06Get out!
06:07Get out!
06:08Get out!
06:09Get out!
06:10We moved to a plank.
06:11The minimum we're looking for there is about 40 seconds.
06:13You're not cheerleading!
06:14Aye, aye, sir!
06:15Aye, aye, sir!
06:16You're not saying anything to your body!
06:18Aye, aye, sir!
06:19Aye, aye, sir!
06:20Aye, aye, sir!
06:21Aye, aye, sir!
06:22You're at 235!
06:34What do you think when you see these planes going by?
06:37Sometimes I think about just graduating so I get on a plane and go home and see my family,
06:42sir.
06:49You just gotta try.
06:50You just gotta bust your butt.
06:51Aye, sir!
06:52Where you gonna be in 69 days?
06:53Yes, sir!
06:54On the reefer, right?
06:55Yes, sir!
06:56We typically have between 6 to 8 failures and I want to say that that rang true this morning,
07:08We typically have between six to eight failures, and I want to say that that rang true this
07:25morning, between six to eight failures.
07:27Let's go!
07:28I had my doubts in the beginning for myself, but I actually did better than I thought.
07:35How's it going?
07:36Good.
07:37I'm really tired.
07:38I passed the whole thing, so I'm really excited to continue with my training.
07:43I almost cried earlier because I'm very excited.
07:45It felt relieving, and it felt like I wasn't letting anyone down.
07:50So what we're going to do now is we're going to shower them up, get them changed over into
07:55their uniforms, and then we're going to do what's called a warm handoff.
07:58We'll introduce them to their actual drill instructor team in Echo Company, and we lovingly refer
08:03to it as Black Friday.
08:04If you want, get back!
08:07Black Friday!
08:08Go!
08:09Black Friday!
08:10Go!
08:11Black Friday!
08:12What is Black Friday?
08:13There's no such thing as Black Friday.
08:14Black Friday is just what somebody made up that we call that.
08:18That's a pickup where the recruits are introduced to their permanent drill instructor.
08:21Yeah!
08:22Yeah!
08:23Officer!
08:24Officer!
08:25Officer!
08:26Officer!
08:27You need to hurry up!
08:28Aye, sir!
08:29You need to hurry up on that, sir!
08:30Aye, sir!
08:31You need to hurry up on that, sir!
08:32Aye, sir!
08:33You, right here.
08:34Aye, sir!
08:35Hurry up!
08:36You're on this side!
08:37Behind these four recruits of your staff!
08:38Yes, sir!
08:39Stand up straight and look at me!
08:40Our mission is to join each one of you to become a United States Marine.
08:46We will give every effort to join you even after some of you have given up on yourselves.
08:53Never quit or give up for we offer you the challenge of recruit training, the opportunity
08:58to hire a title, the United States Marine.
09:01I am a leader!
09:02Thank you!
09:03Stand up and exit!
09:04Stand up and exit!
09:05Stand up and exit!

09:22Go!
09:23Go!
09:24There is a level of stress that's provided that kind of welcomes them to the institution,
09:30institution but there's there's nothing wrong with that a healthy level of
09:40stress to show them that that there are going to be stressful times that there
09:43are gonna be stressful moments we're also trying to shake some of those
09:47civilian bad habits out of them by introducing them to the way that we do
09:51things
09:53moving out one do you understand
09:55five five three two one
09:57seven six twenty-four twenty-four twenty-three two three one
10:02oh

10:08i was
10:09oh
10:10oh
10:14oh
10:16man
10:19oh
10:21would you say that they've in three weeks changed from what they looked like when they were
10:26first picked up
10:27yes it's a complete 180 from where we first got them
10:30you get a lot of timid recruits
10:33recruits that aren't very confident with themselves
10:36you kind of have to see that and work with that and get them to where they need to be
10:40they don't have their iphones they don't have their computers anymore
10:43the recruits definitely miss it and you can see it because with the generation that we have now
10:47you're so used to you know just picking up their phone looking at it they won't realize it until
10:50we kind of bring it up like hey like you've gone a month and a half without cheering
10:53without your phone without your computer without any outside media source and you're
10:57still a human being
10:59a lot of these recruits that come here they come from broken homes families without strong
11:03male role models i myself you know growing up from a home without a father i've received
11:08numerous uh letters from my recruits saying that they see me as a father see me as a
11:12second father in so that in itself it means a lot
11:15so the recruits they're supposed to be watching the senior drill instructor's house they weren't cleaning so at this time they got they got IT which is discipline to fix infractions stuff that they're not doing right
11:19so the two victories where they're supposed to be watching the senior drill instructor's house they weren't cleaning so at this time they got they got IT which is discipline to fix infractions stuff that they're not doing right
11:28what does IT stand for
11:34to fix infractions, stuff that they're not doing right.
11:39What does IT stand for?
11:40It's structural training, sir.
11:43So it lasts for generally three minutes, 30-second rest,
11:47and then three minutes back again.
11:49Five, four, three, two, one!
11:50Stop, stop!
11:51Stop!
11:52Stop!
11:53Stop!
11:54Stop!
11:55Stop!
11:56Stop!
11:57Stop!
11:58It's something that they don't enjoy, sir.
12:00You wouldn't get your discipline if they did enjoy it.
12:02However, it is beneficial because as soon as they get IT'd,
12:06one person starts telling the other recruits,
12:08and then they kind of start police calling each other.
12:10So it's honestly beneficial, sir.
12:12Aye, sir!
12:13Ready?
12:14Move!

12:50Why do they scream,
12:51Fatal?
12:53So that's just the motto for our company,
12:54so Fox Company, Fatal Company.
12:55I mean, it's just…
12:56Always keep it fatal, That's our motto.
12:59That's something that we breed into the recruits,
13:01and that's something that we're especially proud of
13:03as Fox Company drill instructors,
13:05Fatal Company drill instructors.
13:09Today, we're on Confidence Course 2,
13:11which comprises of the lower obstacles
13:13as well as the high obstacles.
13:15The goal through first phase is to kind of break them down,
13:18second phase, and we build them back up.
13:20That's the point of this course right here,
13:21to build their confidence.
13:24Stairway to Heaven, not my personal favorite.
13:26It's just challenging because it's so high up.
13:28And the higher you get, the more spaced out the logs are
13:32that you have to navigate over.
13:33Do you ever find, like, that any recruits
13:35are afraid of heights?
13:36Yes, and you don't know it until we're out here
13:38navigating these obstacles.
13:40If they're up high on the stairway to heaven,
13:41they have no choice to give up,
13:43and that's what makes them confident
13:44in overcoming their fears, is that there's no other way
13:47to get off the obstacle other than to complete it.
13:54Slide for Life is another obstacle
13:56that's higher up than the others.
13:58Captain, gentlemen.
13:59To build their confidence.
14:00Get in!
14:01Get them to do something that they would've probably
14:04never have done if it weren't for coming here.
14:06Round three, let's go.
14:08Let's go.
14:11109, 109, 109, 20, 20, 19, 109, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
14:14Down down.
14:16Battles of World War II.
14:17Battles of World War II, aye, sir.
14:19Plata Canal, Iwo Jima, Tarawan, Midway, Okinawa.
14:23Who was the first female Marine?
14:24First female Marine for I, sir.
14:26Overman Johnson, 1918.
14:29Do we all know about the Battle of Iwo Jima?
14:30Yes, sir.
14:31Who died on Iwo Jima?
14:33John Bassett.
14:34John Bassett.
14:34John Bassett, got it?
14:35Was awarded a Medal of Honor in a whole nother
14:38friggin', a whole nother battle,
14:40and then died on Iwo Jima.
14:42Got it?
14:42Yes, sir.
14:43That man was a legend.
14:44Aye, sir.
14:45Do you understand?
14:45Yes, sir.
14:46Get him, get him, get him, get him, get him, get him.
14:52Take him out to Iwo Jima.
14:53Aye, sir.
14:54Let's go of you screaming out to Iwo Jima.
14:55Aye, sir.
14:56Take him out to Iwo Jima.
14:57Aye, sir.
14:58All you get over here now.
15:00All right now.
15:01Dodson.
15:02Yes, sir.
15:02Dominguez.
15:03Yes, sir.
15:03Elliott.
15:04Tears, sir.
15:05Fabian.
15:05Right now, we currently have 37 females on our platoon,
15:09which is probably the smallest platoon I've ever seen
15:11come through San Diego female-wise.
15:13Ever.
15:14Here the females actually are with the males since day one,
15:17all the way through.
15:18They obviously can't talk to each other.
15:20They don't live in the same squad base or anything,
15:21but they do PTs with each other, practice,
15:24all that stuff with each other.
15:25They go to the classrooms together.
15:26So there is interaction, but they can't talk.
15:29I didn't know that the male and female recruits
15:31could not talk to each other.
15:32No.
15:33Is that for a reason?
15:34I don't know if it's for a reason,
15:36but I believe that it does help because then the recruits
15:39are actually focused on what they actually came here to do.
15:42Recruits should never be having a good time.
15:44They should not be talking, talking about what they had
15:46for lunch or nothing.
15:47They're just strictly business for 13 weeks.
15:49I'll be a dead good man out there, sir.
15:51Aye, sir.
15:52That's all of you I ask, sir.
15:53Aye, sir.
15:54If you talk, if you look around, I will fail you.
15:57Do you understand?
15:57Yes, sir.
16:01Big MAP is the Marine Corps martial arts program.
16:03It's the program that we have in the Marine Corps
16:05for actually teaching fighting from different martial arts
16:08such as boxing, jiu-jitsu, judo, Muay Thai, and we teach it
16:11so the Marines and recruits can be more deadly in the fleet.
16:14Uppercut!
16:15Uppercut!
16:17Execute!
16:17Go!
16:18Execute!
16:19Go!
16:19Execute!
16:20Go!
16:21Execute the technique!
16:22Action!
16:23Take a knee.
16:26Up!
16:27We were telling them to take a knee because they were doing
16:29a fundamental or a principle of the technique wrong.
16:32Number three, third spot, take a knee.
16:34Action!
16:34Go!
16:35They can miss up to ten techniques and still pass the test,
16:37but if we did have a recruit fail the test,
16:40they would give a 24-hour period that they would retest tomorrow
16:43and they would come to us, we would reevaluate them.
16:45Choose to be the ones that I was choking them all.
16:48I would like to think that most recruits do like it
16:50because it's a way for them to learn to control their anger
16:53and through inoculation to interpersonal violence
16:55and actually be able to let some of that out
16:57from the frustrations of recruit training.
16:58Five, four, three, two, one, drop.
17:00Go, two.
17:05So currently we're on grass week with the recruits.
17:23What they do for the purpose of this week is get them into the positions
17:26to better prepare them to actually shoot the rifle.
17:28What they use at recruit training is an M16A4.
17:32You have to learn the basics, learn the fundamentals,
17:34before we can actually get rounds.
17:36It's that baseline before we get to push on to the next evolution of training,
17:41which will be shooting the actual rifle.
17:44This is going to work, got it?
17:45Yes, sir.
17:46You all have a double feed, fix it.
17:48All right, sir.
17:59Is that how you correct a double feed?
18:01No, sir.
18:03Show me how you correct your double feed.
18:12Grass check, reload, reload.
18:18This recruit cannot correctly remember.
18:21Okay, no plea breaks, all right?
18:22Recruit good?
18:23Hold your breath for about three seconds, let it out.
18:25Do that three times.
18:28You're freaking out, you only need to freak out about it.
18:30Yes, sir.
18:35That'll be that one, can we?
18:36Yes, sir.
18:39Hit.
18:40Are we ready?
18:42Every Marine is a rifleman.
18:43You never know who's going to go to combat
18:47and who's going to actually need to use their rifle.
18:49So we need to make sure that every Marine is confident in their abilities to shoot.
18:53We have four stations, so they'll be in the kneeling, supported on the window.
18:59Hit it.
19:00They'll lay down in the prone on the rooftop.
19:03They'll move to the bunker.
19:05After the bunker, they move to another prone position.
19:08You never know what positions you'll have to shoot in and what kind of cover you'll have.
19:14I'm touching your mag pouches to field for live rounds.
19:16Aye, sir.
19:17Go get cleared out by your officer.
19:18Aye, sir.
19:19When he observed wounded Marines trapped in the enemy line of fire, Corporal Cain immediately
19:21positioned himself to provide covering fire for the Marines attempting to pull the wounded
19:23to safety, all while remaining dangerously exposed to the enemy's impact zone.
19:24He repeatedly thwarted in search and attempts to fire the machine guns down the stairs at the
19:26front of the Marines with accurate and deadly fire from the squad automatic weapon.
19:31As the last of the wounded were being evacuated, portions of the building fell on top of him,
19:47crushing his leg.
19:48His heroic actions and selfish emotions of duty inspired all who observed him and were instrumental
19:53in the evacuation of Marines needing urgent medical care and the destruction of the enemy's
19:57stronghold.
19:58I have always wanted to be a Marine since I was very young.
20:10My stepdad was a Marine and he's taught me basically most of everything that I know.
20:16Has this been hard?
20:17Yes, sir.
20:18Very hard.
20:19Why?
20:20Mostly the mental aspect for me, just being away from home.
20:24I've been away from home for, you know, a couple weeks at a time, but it was with other
20:28family.
20:29It was never by myself.
20:30Being away from home for 13 weeks, it's kind of hard, especially when the week I left
20:34was my niece's birthday.
20:36It was her first birthday and I had to leave the day before.
20:39And so that kind of really made me hurt for the first couple of weeks.
20:42Weaver!
20:43Weaver!
20:44Weaver!
20:45Weaver!
20:46Weaver!
20:47That's not what you're supposed to do!
20:48You were told to get on the crew!
20:49Respond!
20:50Weaver!
20:51Weaver!
20:52Fix it!
20:53I.M.
20:54Do something!
20:55Delegate!
20:56Do something!
20:57I.M.
20:58Korlakovsky!
20:59Yes!
21:00Fix the pass!
21:01The reason we were doing that is just to let everybody prove that they can be a leader
21:02at some point and take charge.
21:03Weaver!
21:04The drill instructors were correcting us on everything we're missing.
21:07You know, we weren't moving fast enough.
21:09What are you gonna do?
21:10I enjoyed it because it did give me that sense of, oh, hey, I'm actually leading and they're
21:15actually helping me lead in their own way.
21:18Two columns!
21:19This is not two!
21:20They're not responding to you.
21:21Aye, sir!
21:22Respond!
21:23Aye, sir!
21:27They've done all of this before.
21:28They're capable of doing it.
21:29Now you're doing it when you're a little more tired, with a little less sleep.
21:36And at first it sucks.
21:37What we like to call is you embrace the suck together.
21:40And that's what makes Marines Marines.
21:43Okay.
21:44Okay.
21:45Okay.
21:46Okay.
21:47Okay.
21:48Okay.
21:49Okay.
21:50Okay.
21:51Okay.
21:52Okay.
21:53What are you doing?
21:54At least get to the third log.
21:55Aye, sir.
21:56Put this arm underneath.
21:57Aye, sir.
21:58Oh, my.
21:59Aye, sir.
22:00Oh, my.
22:01Aye, sir.
22:02Oh, my.
22:03Aye, sir.
22:04Go over there with freaking delay.
22:05Aye, sir.
22:06Everything in the crucible, whatever event, you may not be able to finish.
22:10There is a consequence.
22:11So if they're not able to execute the weaver, they go out to the side and we do something
22:15that's called fireman's carry.
22:17It's where you take a buddy, and you put him over your shoulders, and then you carry
22:22them from one point to another.
22:23Don't work back.
22:24Don't work back.
22:25Don't work back.
22:26See you there.
22:27Aye, sir.
22:28The report.
22:29Good morning, sir.
22:30Stick to total strength, 20.
22:33Total present, 18.
22:35Total weapons, 20.
22:37Total BFAs, 20.
22:39Total iron sights, 20.
22:41What are we training for?
22:42Water, sir.
22:43We're training for freaking combat, right?
22:44Water, sir.
22:45But you want to move slow, and you want to whisper, and you want to be weak.
22:47Aye, sir.
22:48Aye, sir.
22:49What is over there?
22:50Nothing, sir.
22:51Look at me.
22:52Aye, sir.
22:53I'm talking to you.
22:54Aye, aye, sir.
22:55Stop being weak.
22:56Aye, sir.
22:57No one cares.
22:58Aye, sir.
22:59The enemy does not care.
23:00Aye, sir.
23:01Wake up.
23:02No.
23:03Get up.
23:04You're not doing anything for him.
23:05Aye, man.
23:06Go.
23:07Middle, ma'am.
23:08So, if you already know it, why don't you do it on yourself?
23:10Because one of these zippers is...
23:11I don't care.
23:12Take some back.
23:13Aye, sir.
23:14Stop being complacent.
23:15Aye, ma'am.
23:16It's the little things that add up.
23:17Aye, ma'am.
23:18Just put it away.
23:19Aye, sir.
23:20Go.
23:21Grab the cantina and go down there.
23:22Aye, sir.
23:23Now get out of my face.
23:24Aye, sir.
23:25Aye, who's...
23:26Fix your back.
23:27Aye, sir.
23:28Aye, no, sir.
23:29Grab the...
23:30Let's go.
23:31Aye, aye, sir.
23:32Aye, aye, sir.
23:33Aye, aye, sir.
23:34Make a decision.
23:35Aye, aye, sir.
23:36Some of you are going to realize maybe you'll get out and you won't even go to college,
23:42even though you joined for college in the first place, right?
23:44Aye, yes, sir.
23:45Some of you are going to join for college and realize you want to stay in.
23:49Like even then there's not a bad reason to join the military, right?
23:52Aye, sir.
23:53You're serving your country.
23:54You're doing your family and your friends proud as well, right?
23:57Aye, sir.
23:58And yourself as well.
23:59Yes, sir.
24:00There's more to it than just joining for college, right?
24:03Aye, sir.
24:04Because you could join any branch and get free college, right?
24:06Aye, sir.
24:07You could join like the reserve friggin coast guard and you just swim in a pool all day, right?
24:11Aye, sir.
24:12You chose to freaking join the Marine Corps specifically because it's the most difficult branch, right?
24:16Yes, sir.
24:17You have that reason like you want to go to college but also you join to be a freaking Marine.
24:21Aye, sir.
24:22You could have gone to that college with any other branch.
24:23Aye, sir.
24:24So you have those two reasons, right?
24:25Yes, sir.
24:26Why you wanted to join the military and why you wanted to be a Marine.
24:29Aye, sir.
24:30You got to remember both of those.
24:31Make sense?
24:32Aye, sir.
24:33After we get out of here, we're going to be doing two equals six.
24:34That make sense?
24:35Aye, sir.
24:36You can get some beef with somebody or, you know what I'm saying?
24:40Like, there's your chance.
24:41You understand?
24:42Aye, sir.
24:43Aye.
24:4410, 11.
24:45Grab your canteen.
24:46Make bag gloves.
24:47Mouthpiece.
24:48Have it out right now.
24:50Oh.
24:51So before I came here, I'd never done hand-to-hand combat at all.
24:58And it really worried me at first.
25:00But I feel that I am confident enough to at least be able to defend myself and someone else
25:05that I care for.
25:07You died.
25:08You're the killer, understand?
25:09Aye, sir.
25:10You go to the pit.
25:11Aye, sir.
25:1223.
25:136.
25:1424.
25:157.
25:164.
25:1739.
25:185.
25:191.
25:20Do you want to go back over there?
25:21Yeah.
25:22Can you do?
25:23Can I go back over there, sir?
25:24What the hell?
25:25You don't get a pick where you want to go.
25:27Okay, now, yeah, yeah, definitely back at zero.
25:30Okay, pick it up now.
25:31Aye, sir.
25:32Aye, sir.
25:33Aye, sir.
25:34Aye, sir.
25:35Aye, sir.
25:36Aye, sir.
25:37Aye, sir.
25:38God damn it.
25:39Aye, sir.
25:46They're just changing out their socks to a dry pair of socks.
25:48Just to take care of their feet, keep their feet dry.
25:51Need some antibiotic going here?
25:53Right now, they're probably feeling a little bit of pain.
25:55Some hot spots and stuff like that, but it's nothing that is going to kill them.
25:59Let's go.
26:00Do the game.
26:01Same thing.
26:02Might have to jump.
26:03You have to try.
26:04Jump.
26:05Try first.
26:06Let him try.
26:07You have to try.
26:08Let's go.
26:09Look at how many recruits it takes to get you over.
26:12How embarrassing.
26:13Pick up your own weight.
26:15Amen.
26:16It's crazy how they helped you, but you just walk away when they help you.
26:21Amen.
26:22Selfish individual.
26:23Amen.
26:24Some of them just don't really like to try as hard as others.
26:30It frustrates me as a Marine seeing how much hard work we put into them.
26:36I understand they come from different backgrounds and they were raised different.
26:40So we just try to help them understand our culture here.
26:43Let's go.
26:44Amen.
26:45Stop taking your street sight.
26:46Amen.
26:47Don't let slip.
26:48Don't let slip.
26:49I can't.
26:50I can't.
26:51I can't.
26:52You're gonna fall.
26:53You're gonna fall.
26:54You're gonna fall.
26:55You're gonna fall.
26:56You always get the easy way out.
26:57Let's go.
26:58All right, sir.
26:59Go.
27:00Some of the recruits that they point in the crucible, they're very tired.
27:02The lack of sleep and the lack of calories getting into their body is really getting to
27:06them.
27:07So they're starting to fall behind.
27:08So when those recruits start to fall behind, the rest of the platoon brings them up and encourages
27:12them to continue on.
27:13Let's go.
27:14Puro.
27:15Do you need help?
27:16Back here by the road.
27:17Hell no.
27:18Me?
27:19Need help?
27:20Yeah.
27:21Oh.
27:22No.
27:23I know that.
27:24So.
27:25Alright, let's go.
27:26Man down.
27:30Get out the road now.
27:32See you 40 over the road Dè³¢.
27:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
28:04Get up, get up!
28:17Let's go!
28:20Let's go!
28:34How are you doing, Weaver?
29:04Good sir, really good sir.
29:08How are you feeling now, it's almost all over.
29:11Well, not quite over yet sir, but, feeling like I can conquer the world.
29:19It's not over until it's over, you understand?
29:21Aye sir!
29:22You get to see the mission too, you understand me?
29:23Yes sir!
29:24Pack the money now!
29:25Aye sir!
29:26Pack the money, let's go!
29:27Aye sir!
29:28In three short words, as long as it seems, I finally had earned it, the title of Marine!
29:45In the past three days, your drone instructors have subjected you to the final test of recruit
30:02training.
30:03Every generation of Marine wonders if the next generation of Marines can be entrusted with
30:08our nation's security.
30:09Old breed, new breed.
30:12It doesn't matter, as long as it's the Marine breed.
30:15You should remember this day with pride, for you have accomplished what few dare to try.
30:21You have earned the title, Marine!
30:25May God keep you in the palm of his hands!
30:27Fall back in now!
30:28Aye sir!
30:29Aye sir!
30:30You came a long way White, you have a lot further to go.
30:44Aye sir!
30:45Yes, ma'am!
30:46Thank you, ma'am!
30:47Good morning, Sergeant!
30:48Yes, ma'am!

30:51Good morning, Sergeant!
30:52Good morning, Sergeant!
30:53Good morning, Sergeant!
30:54It doesn't feel like it's real it feels like a dream but I can physically feel
31:18it and know that it is not a dream it is the real thing it's a great honor to
31:23take all of this in my hand and know that I earned this and it is mine and no one else
31:27can take it from me.
31:29Weapons count high sergeants!
31:34Good morning ladies, good morning gentlemen, I got all of these 44 weapons of mass destruction!
