Eversmann: You okay? Todd Blackburn: Excited. In a good way. I've been training my whole life for this. Eversmann: You ever shot at anybody before? Todd Blackburn: No Sergeant. Eversmann: Me neither.
General Garrison: This is Garrison. Now I want to be sure y'all understand what your asking for, so say it out loud and clear. Shughart: We're asking to go in and set-up a perimeter until ground support arrives.
