I'm excited about what they're doing in terms of the Caribbean Sea and just stopping the flow of drugs into the country.

And so I'm like, the thing that I live for is mission impact.

And so it's cool to get to have a positive impact on the world in that way.

Holy shit.

Any fentanyl stuff?

Not that I don't know.

Well, like they say what they give you is like the the the weight and they give you the street price.

And so then I hop on Google to determine that that is most likely cocaine.

Yeah, it had a massive impact in the sense.

So like just really quickly, my first deployment as a Navy SEAL, I got to Augment Development Group, Augment SEAL Team 6.

And just to be like super clear, I was not a member of SEAL Team 6, didn't go through Green Team, but the SEAL teams would send out junior officers to go gain experience deployed.

That was your first deployment?

I am very blessed.

I also, it just happened to be with the troop that killed bin Laden.

So this was one year after they had killed bin Laden, and it was just like a master class in...

ISR and targeting operations, a master class in direct action missions.

And so during the day, well, during the night, the troop would go out, they'd conduct their rage capture kill missions.

During the day, we would conduct kinetic strikes.

And so that is...

Understanding that kill chain from the intelligence surveillance reconnaissance targeting to having effects on the battlefield, like that was, you know, didn't know it at the time, but really understanding that process in and out has helped me build Shield AI, helped me understand like how to build these, the autonomous systems.
