00:03.020 --> 00:05.430
So the recruits conducted a fast rope

00:05.440 --> 00:07.440
and rappel operations on the rappel

00:07.440 --> 00:11.150
tower . The rappel tower is utilized

00:11.150 --> 00:14.050
to give the recruits training on fast

00:14.050 --> 00:16.420
rope operations as well as repel

00:16.430 --> 00:20.190
operations . And they come to us very

00:20.190 --> 00:22.301
early in their training cycle so that

00:22.301 --> 00:24.500
they can gain confidence in themselves

00:24.500 --> 00:26.611
as well as the gear that they may use

00:26.611 --> 00:28.722
uh in the Marine Corps Fleet , Marine

00:28.722 --> 00:32.160
Force . The purpose of the recruits

00:32.160 --> 00:34.880
conducting these exercises is to gain

00:34.890 --> 00:36.950
confidence not only in themselves ,

00:36.960 --> 00:39.770
operating at a very um abnormal

00:39.770 --> 00:42.000
environment , but as well as gear that

00:42.000 --> 00:45.980
they use recruits that

00:45.990 --> 00:49.270
have a hard time with fears or uh

00:49.280 --> 00:51.502
pushing past their adversities with the

00:51.502 --> 00:53.613
Rappel Tower in regards to heights or

00:53.613 --> 00:55.780
falling . Some do have a shift as soon

00:55.780 --> 00:57.836
as they hit the ground or as soon as

00:57.836 --> 00:59.669
they begin to conduct the actual

00:59.669 --> 01:01.613
procedures , they realize that the

01:01.613 --> 01:03.669
procedures do work and that they are

01:03.669 --> 01:05.724
being able to do them correctly . At

01:05.724 --> 01:07.836
that point , we see a shift either in

01:07.836 --> 01:10.002
the midst of them conducting the tower

01:10.002 --> 01:12.058
or at the very bottom . We can see a

01:12.058 --> 01:11.940
shift in their mood and their eyes and

01:11.940 --> 01:14.120
their mindset as the drill instructors

01:14.120 --> 01:15.220
take them off the line .
