00:00.017 --> 00:01.179
(uplifting music)

00:01.179 --> 00:02.860
- [Man] It's only really
the start of a journey,

00:02.860 --> 00:04.130
the pain that you go through,

00:04.130 --> 00:06.080
before you know you're ready to deploy.

00:07.014 --> 00:07.847
(munitions exploding)

00:07.847 --> 00:09.120
(people yelling)

00:09.120 --> 00:10.770
A lot of people see
the Combat Fitness Test

00:10.770 --> 00:12.090
as one of the harder tests

00:12.090 --> 00:13.963
because of the intensity of the test.

00:15.350 --> 00:16.183
(munitions exploding)

00:16.183 --> 00:17.016
(people yelling)

00:17.016 --> 00:17.849
- [Man] Go!

00:17.849 --> 00:18.830
- [Man] You've got two
minutes and 40 seconds

00:18.830 --> 00:20.160
to run half a mile,

00:20.160 --> 00:24.480
two minutes to lift a 30 pound
ammunition can 106 times,

00:24.480 --> 00:27.360
and an obstacle course
that includes low crawls,

00:27.360 --> 00:31.370
buddy carries, ammunition
can runs, and a grenade toss,

00:31.370 --> 00:32.494
all of which you have to complete

00:32.494 --> 00:34.403
in two minutes and seven seconds.

00:36.280 --> 00:38.320
You step off that start line,

00:38.320 --> 00:40.360
you've got to get your head in the game.

00:40.360 --> 00:41.720
During those six minutes of pains,

00:41.720 --> 00:44.290
you've got to give it everything you got.

00:44.290 --> 00:45.340
Your back hurts.

00:45.340 --> 00:46.293
Your feet hurt.

00:46.293 --> 00:48.304
You're gasping for air.

00:48.304 --> 00:49.137
(munitions exploding)

00:49.137 --> 00:50.620
(people yelling)

00:50.620 --> 00:53.178
But you've just got to keep
going, step after step.

00:53.178 --> 00:54.180
- [Man] Let's go, let's go, let's go!

00:54.180 --> 00:56.073
- [Man] And everything feels flat dead.

00:57.002 --> 00:58.550
You've drained your body to the core.

00:58.550 --> 01:00.630
The only thing that keeps you going

01:00.630 --> 01:03.772
is you want the end goal
more than you want to stop.

01:03.772 --> 01:05.210
(men shouting)

01:05.210 --> 01:08.967
I envy what my friends
have, the easy lifestyle,

01:08.967 --> 01:11.197
but when you compare what you're doing,

01:11.197 --> 01:12.711
I don't regret it at all.

01:12.711 --> 01:15.544
