Dave's speech

There were two speakers today, Dave and Lee. Dave spoke first on how he wanted to be an airborne ranger, and got his wings. He talked about how he was called a TURD, Trainee Under Rigorous Development, and they got to do a lot of exercising. They even were woken up in the middle of the night to do PT. After awhile, they got to learn how to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. During the jumps, the jumps got progressively harder. One day, Dave said he questioned whether he really wanted to go out of the plane in the darkness of night. After jumping out of that plane, and being stuck in a tree with his lines crossed for over an hour, he decided he no longer wanted to be a ranger. Peter was the evaluator for Dave's speech. He said that while Peter had heard this speech before, he liked how Dave brought his life into each of his speeches, and complimented Dave's storytelling ability. Another thing Peter said is that he liked how he added the whimper and sound effects to the story.  One thing he warned against is rocking while he is talking to the audience.
