The first story you'll see is about PFC Jared Benver, from Elk River.  We followed him at Camp Ripley as he trained with the Guard. 

The second story is light-hearted and actually pretty funny.  Photojournalist Eric Andersen, captured some funny moments of me, as I learned to rappel and shoot semi-automatics.  Enjoy!
