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.
