Citizen Soldiers

I got two spend two days in Oklahoma covering a unit of local National Guard soldiers training to deploy to Iraq. The plan was to shoot stills and video(I still say it's bad to do both), but I broke my still camera jumping out of a humvee pretty early in the trip, so I got to focus mostly on video. I'm starting to really enjoy video as I get a slightly better feel for it, so while I was pretty bummed about the camera, I admittedly felt relieved and excited to concentrate on strictly video for once.
