-	We started off in Guantanamo	0:00
	and on a C-130 flew from Guantanamo	0:02
	to Iraq, Afghanistan and back to Turkey,	0:06
	had four days downtime in Turkey,	0:12
	went to Germany and then came to Virginia.	0:14
	And then, back to Guantanamo.	0:17
	A C-130 is a huge airplane.	0:21
	It's two-stories.	0:23
	There's individuals up in the top,	0:25
	they were trained by the Air Force,	0:26
	the only individuals who had guns.	0:28
	They were stationed up above, constantly just surveying	0:31
	back and forth between the detainees.	0:34
	And if any type of suspicious movement would happen	0:36
	or if the detainee got free or whatnot,	0:38
	they were the only individuals who could respond to it.	0:40
	And obviously, their response would be to shoot.	0:42
	Shoot upon site.	0:45
	The detainees, they were wearing denim suits,	0:47
	had gloves or not gloves, had goggles over their eyes,	0:51
	ear muffs and had gloves on.	0:56
	There was two restrooms designated for the detainees	0:59
	and two restrooms designated for the guards.	1:02
	What was kind of interesting was when we'd let them	1:05
	use the restroom, we wouldn't take the shackles off.	1:07
	So I can only imagine if they had to use the restroom	1:09
	during that flight.	1:11
	They probably had a very uncomfortable remainder of hours.	1:13
