you're about to see and hear us Marines 300 miles south of the North Pole in the winter doing Arctic exercises.

To-infinitive

I'm David Hoffman, filmmaker and way back in the 19 eighties, I got the chance to go with these breeds into their exercises and stay with them, which I'm about to tell you about, because I think it's important before you see this sequence.

Present continuous

The film ran on prime time PBS one hour long, but you're going to see ah, clip.

That I think is important because it shares who these Marines are.

We get on this helicopter, we get off in the snow, they drop us off, and we're there in these hills in with Norway, supposedly looking at flight North Norwegian ski troops.

They used to call the White Death, I think, and it was really interesting to be in this kind of cold cameras, freezing people, really not taking care of themselves properly among my crew on among the Marines.

And then they put up these tents you're going to see and the tents are awful.

Eight guys sleeping in a circle with the heating unit in the middle when you woke up in the morning.

He had black all around your nose, all sleeping together.

Heads out, feed in against the heating unit that was into center of the tent, including us.

So I say, Okay, let's talk to these guys because they're being real friendly to us.

And I'm really curious about what kind of people joined the Marines.

I was a little older than them, but I was not marine material.

I didn't have that level of fighting May.

Maybe I didn't have as much testosterone as these guys did.

And I think you'll find something really interesting about who they were.

Are on about why I ended up respecting these men so much.

I'll tell you a bit more about this when the film clip is over.

It's just a goal that people have got to pay big prices to go to a damn ski resort.

We're going to strip by year off when she gets clean.

Long johns, which hang this up in ceiling.

I can still remember the pride that I felt, you know, the first time somebody come up and say, you know, good going marine.

Could take on the world of self confidence and self reliance.

It was the best feeling I've ever I've ever known.

You know, I never I never graduated high school and I never, you know, I was part of a team to finally won.

You know, I was in that team that won, you know, it was like, Damn, I did something.

You know, I wanted to quit so many times a boot camp, you know, I told them.

There's one time, you know, I don't want to be here, you know?

And this guy's in there that I didn't know and they said, Who are you?

Do you know, it's just, you know, you had a bad day and stuff, but it's a It's a great feeling.

I know everybody here knows that feeling.

It's like it's It's ah, day where if you have ever had any other doubt, you know, you've ever earned anything at all.

Okay, there was no doubt in your mind the day they said platoon, whatever.

You took it One bucks back, step you about face, and it is just tears.

It You were just so you're just fulfilled from having to accomplish really something special.

You know, you made something of yourself.

You accomplished one of the hardest tax there is, and that is completing parasol in basic training.

I did a lot of growing up when I came in.

I was farty lot when I was back 18 which wasn't very long ago.

You, uh it really does bring a big change in personality.

You see, guys that come in and they'll go through Marine Corps in the Marine Corps.
