It's the same thing in the military. Like if you're getting into a gunfight or something, there's fear before and not during. And that's the same thing. I would imagine there'd be fear during as well though, no? I mean, I don't want to speak for myself. I've talked to a lot of dudes that just kind of everything – It was quiet.

It's a mental stillness because we go through a lot of training that gets you ready for a lot of those scenarios. Man, I could show you a video after this. That'll be fun. But they have this program where like they put a black bag over your head. And there's a bunch of dudes that are mostly like retired operators, dudes. And every few minutes, this black bag that you can't see through.

And it's not like a plastic bag. It's just like a hood. And you're sitting there just holding your gun. And they rip this bag off your head. There's a circle on the ground that's like five feet wide. And you can't step out of it. You can't take a knee. Those are the only rules. And for these, there's a scenario playing out in front of you.

Every time the bag comes off and these guys are wearing like Arabic-style clothes and Middle Eastern-style clothes, they're blaring crazy music and explosions in your head while the hood is on. The hood gets ripped off. It's like 40 seconds long. You don't know what to expect. You have no idea what's going to happen. And these guys, they're wearing little masks and you have simulated ammunition.

Some will try to kill you. Some might run up to you really fast and ask for directions. And you never know what's going to happen. And for these dudes to go down, they're all going to try to shoot you first. If they shoot you first, you start the day over. And it's like 11 hours. It's a grueling process. Huh. So they keep – This is – what is the purpose of this?

Like what are they trying to achieve? There's a few things. Your aim, like I need to get better at target acquisition. So like – I do something here and I know something over here and I'm going to rotate over to this next thing that I have to deal with. And after days and days and days of this, you get very good.

Like it's nowhere near that level, but you walk out of there feeling like, yeah, I'm John Wick now. But they get you to a level. And the instructors don't go down unless you hit them twice in the base of the nose. So like you can shoot them in the chest and they'll slow down or they'll take a knee. But – What happened? My headphones stopped working.
