Performing the waltz and the jive, Iraq War vet Martinez and Smirnoff not only earned the first perfect score -- 30 out of 30 -- of the season, but they earned it on both dances and on "instant choreography" night (dancers set a routine, but are given the music they'll dance to only minutes before their performance).

"You're in a class all of your own," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Martinez. "There's nobody coming close to you tonight."

Check out Martinez and Smirnoff 's perfect routines in the video clips below:
