Three kids at 24. All right. That's a lot. Strap in, man. I'm happy for you, though. I have an amazing wife, and we are learning and making a priority of growing together and spending quality time. I work 50 hours a week in a welding facility, and I make it home to my bed every night. What guy wouldn't dream of the life I have? Here's my question. Yeah.
I don't have many dreams, but when I do, holy shit fuck bleep. His words, not mine. Choose your expletive. I have reoccurring dreams of vivid, vivid CQB, which would stand for close quarters battle, in some country with brick buildings, checking angles, getting hit with mortar rounds, grenades, hand-to-hand combat. It sounds scary, but I have never seen anything like that.

How is it so thrilling waking up soaked in sweat wondering why? Just why am I having... vivid, wild dreams of war. Obviously, I've never been to war, and I can't say the dreams are even realistic. It's based on the things I see in our culture, but damn it, it feels real. Thank you again if you choose to read this. So I'll get to his description of it.

Prior to joining the military, did I ever have dreams of war? One of the most common questions I will get is, how did you know what you wanted to do since you were a young man? And for those of you who are unfamiliar, I guess, with my origin story, I knew what I wanted to do since I was 11, which is not normal to hear an 11-year-old say. And I don't mean I knew broadly what I wanted to do.

I didn't say, hey, I want to join the military and I'll figure it out from there. I knew exactly the job inside of the military that I wanted to do. It was at least atypical with my peer group. And I have another data collection point of my own three children's and asking children's. God, the words today. You know what I mean? Sometimes you struggle. The data point of my own three children.

you ask each of them, what do you want to do? And they can give you a broad brush stroke, which I completely and utterly support. I actually think it's totally fine for people to figure out what they want to do as they age through life. And it's okay if it changes. None of my kids, and I've asked, I would say a good amount of their social circle, the same type of question. So I have anecdotal

I don't even want to say evidence, but anecdotal data points of this, not a single one has been able to say, this is what I want to do. And this is the path that I want to take to get there. I knew what I wanted to do. Not broadly, but precisely. I knew I wanted to join the Navy. I knew I wanted to follow the SEAL pipeline. But I didn't have any idea of what I actually thought it was going to be.

It consumed my thoughts from the age of 11 on. Not in a negative way, but it was always in the back of my mind. I, you know, in high school would junior lifeguards. Actually, did I even do junior lifeguards in high school? I think that was before high school. It was more sports in high school. But still always in the back of my mind, I know this is what I want to do. So I'm going to go work out.
