I don't have to keep doing it over and over again. Well, that's not true. You do have to keep doing it. Keep seeking. Yeah, but it worked. I found my place in the SEAL teams. I kind of figured out what I was good at. I'm grateful that, and I don't mean this in any kind of arrogance or ego way, but I was never the best guy.

But I was able to make it through every hard course, every selection, SEAL Team 6 selection, all that stuff on the first try. Damn. So I'm proud of that. And now I know I originally did it, but now I can also appreciate all of my experiences and even the bad ones. I'm not coping with them anymore and trying to forget them. I actually can remember more about them now.

I think it was, I don't really remember what age, but I just, I think it was like six or seven. Just having that conversation with my mom and her sort of breaking it to us.

But...
