Her Majesty's Australia and 120 Light Fighters go down under to rock the Southern Hemisphere! 

Welcome to the jungle. JOTC Ft. Sherman, Panama. This is the ultimate test of soldiering. 

1SG Gill was a great soldier. We passed our youthful days in interesting and important times. 

Col (R) Gerald Robert "Bob" Harkins joins us to talk about Light Infantry tactics. Must hear show! 

The new battalion arrives. The guys and the gear. Finally we are all together at Ft. Ord, California. Now we will help write the final chapter of the Cold War. 

Fall - Dec of 1986. Ft. Ord, California, Hawaii deployment and Light Leaders Course at Ft. Benning. I am no longer the civilian who graduated from High School or the soldier who graduated from Basic Training. I am something else. I am a grunt. The toughest thing on Earth. 

Every great true story has a setting. Welcome to Ft. Ord. 

Before we could be LightFighters, we had to prove we could be soldiers first. 

The reasons we volunteered were as unique and varied as the soldiers themselves.
