DOUBLE DUTY

Paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division must be ready, on 18 hours notice, to deploy anywhere in the world, to fight, and to win. Maintaining this level of readiness requires long hours of rigorous training. Soldiers, especially those with family, move from one demand to another with little or no rest between. Private First Class Craig Sylvester lives this soldier's life, when the day is never done.
