And perhaps the subject matter of the email, maybe I'm reading into that a little bit too much and you wrote that so I would get my eyes on it, which I did, which led me to your email, which led me to be sitting here answering this question.

But that's the biggest piece of advice.

don't lead with it, perform, nobody's gonna give a shit.

And I find that to be true of almost every job, even outside of the military as well.

All that other stuff, it's very secondary, unless you make it your primary identity and you force other people to view you through that lens first and foremost above anything else.

That's where things get off the tracks real fast.

If you don't do that, I'm struggling to find an example of where that leads to trouble.

But I got plenty of examples of where the opposite really does.

And that's all I got for question number two, other than to say, if you're going to do it, do it before you're 30 and research the age requirements for each branch.

I think you're fine at 26, but you know,

winter's coming to a degree on your age.

So do before 30.

That'd be my advice.

Today's episode is brought to you by Peak.

This is tea, not something that I'm probably generally associated with actually, and not something I drank until I started working with this brand.

I wasn't really interested.

They sent me a broad selection and it was fantastic.

I like the taste.

I like what it targeted and I like how it made me feel.
