00:00.290 --> 00:01.930
- My dad's okay with
it. He's like, you know,

00:01.930 --> 00:03.350
you're a man, you're
gonna do your own thing.

00:03.350 --> 00:06.480
My mom, I don't tell her
half the things we do.

00:06.480 --> 00:08.280
She gets worried about
everything that we do.

00:08.280 --> 00:09.900
I could tell her I'm going to like, duty,

00:09.900 --> 00:11.340
and she freaks out, cuz she don't know

00:11.340 --> 00:12.280
what it is, you know?

00:12.280 --> 00:14.580
I'm Corporal Taylor Champagne,
from Okinawa, Japan.

00:14.580 --> 00:17.760
I'm a O451 parachute rigger,
and I'm out here at WTI

00:17.760 --> 00:19.360
conducting parachute operations.

00:20.440 --> 00:22.510
It's kind of a rarity in the Marine Corps

00:22.510 --> 00:23.800
for us to jump out of airplanes.

00:23.800 --> 00:26.160
It's just a lot of excitement
when you're on the bird.

00:26.160 --> 00:28.670
You're looking out of a
aircraft going like 130 knots,

00:28.670 --> 00:30.020
and everything's moving really fast,

00:30.020 --> 00:34.190
everything looks really
small, and you just doing it.

00:34.190 --> 00:36.617
You gotta do it; it's your job.

00:36.617 --> 00:39.617
(upbeat rock music)

00:52.629 --> 00:53.682
It's just like jumping out of an airplane.

00:53.682 --> 00:54.515
You never know what's gonna happen.

00:54.515 --> 00:55.970
You just gotta go through the motions.

00:55.970 --> 00:56.927
I like it that way.
