00:00 [Sighs]

00:02 You're not enlisted yet.

00:04 No need to salute me.

00:05 Sorry, sir.

00:06 Don't be sorry. Have a seat.

00:08 Your test scores are unusual.

00:13 Once every five or so years, unusual.

00:16 I'd park you in PSYOPs, but your PT tests...

00:21 No woman has done this.

00:23 I'm sorry.

00:25 I'm sorry.

00:27 No woman has done this.

00:30 Most men don't.

00:31 22 pull-ups, 114 push-ups in three minutes,

00:34 and you ran an 8-minute mile and a half.

00:37 Standard is 15.

00:38 I ran the 800 in high school, sir.

00:40 Third to Javelin in one state and both.

00:42 I'm aware. Did my homework on you.

00:44 What I don't understand is why you didn't go to college.

00:47 Why are you here, not achieving all the things

00:49 that these tests say you should be achieving?

00:52 Mother died in junior year.

00:56 I just stopped caring.

01:00 Hated myself.

01:02 Hated the world.

01:04 Treated myself like it.

01:07 Father?

01:08 Who knows? I don't.

01:10 So no family?

01:12 One brother dead, one in prison, if you call that family.

01:16 What does the word "Marine" mean to you?

01:20 I don't know.

01:24 Then why are we talking?

01:26 Why are you here?

01:28 I was being hunted, and I...

01:34 I pushed through these doors, and a Marine was there,

01:37 and he protected me.

01:39 He offered me a chance to do it.

01:40 So you do know what it means.

01:43 We are the strong. We protect the weak.

01:45 We are merciless in that endeavor.

01:46 Is that an endeavor you wish to pursue?

01:49 Yes, sir.

01:50 There's 1.4 million active-duty personnel in the Armed Forces.

01:54 They all do their part.

01:56 But there's not a thousand among them that we can call on

01:59 that make a difference.

02:02 I think you could be one of those few.

02:04 But it means walking away from the life that you lived

02:07 up to this point and never looking back.

02:10 That life is over.

02:12 I have no life, sir.

02:16 You do now.
