And they might do it the second day and the third day, but two months in when your knuckles are red and raw and there's pus seeping out of it, And I keep telling you to take the same piece of sandpaper across your knuckles. That's where you start separating the wheat from the chaff. And it's not that your body can't physically take it. You talk yourself out of it.

So there is a huge physical component to being at Bud's. But when I went back to an instructor there for 18 months and actually talked to the students about why they quit, Almost nobody expressed anything physical. They expressed that they got overwhelmed with the totality of their goal and how far they were from where they wanted to be to their current station in life.

There were 120 days from graduation, 130. And they said to themselves, there's no way I can keep doing this for that long. And they quit. It was more mental than physical almost every single time.

Yeah. There's no heater. And it's almost as if the instructors know this because we all went through training. So there is an instructor, like my main tool to get people to quit is I would sit there and I would talk to them about how long I was going to keep them in that water. How long do you think you can tolerate this? Oh, you think this is going to be 30 minutes?

Maybe today we're doing two hours. You don't know. And maybe hypothetically, I would set up a picnic table with steaming hot, hot chocolate on there and say, Hey, if you want to end this right now and get one of these, come on up. All you need to do is say, I quit, you know?

Yeah, it's, you know, I... There's pros and cons to the internet. One of the wild things is you can see things that are going on all over the world. And sometimes in my feed, these drones from Ukraine show up. And what they are doing over there and the velocity that warfare is shifting is unbelievable. I mean, they're chasing people down and exploding them into pieces with drones.

I mean, these drone operators, I have no idea how far away they are. But that is not a threat that I had to face when I was in. And I'm really thankful that I didn't have to. So it is changing. I do believe that the U.S. military is aware of this and that they are changing as well. A lot of people are talking about what's going on in New Jersey, and let me be clear. I want it to be aliens.
