So, um, yeah, then we got moved over. I got into my class. Um, Yeah, honestly, I remember it was a good memory up until third phase.

You got to do a bunch of pull-ups with weight and those rubber magazines. Well, one of the days, I was the last dude, and... To be honest with you, so I didn't have any magazines in the pouches. So I was light. Nice. So I go, man, do I go stop somebody? And I don't want to, honestly, I didn't want to go.

Yeah, I didn't want to go feel the embarrassment and get yelled at for breaking away to go, hey guys, because I was the last day. Everybody ran inside.

And then them all break out to what the fuck and just send me to the ocean and all the shit you're going to have to do for anything. So I just went, fuck, I'm just going to get up there and do them and hope they don't, you know? And so I went up and instructor, I don't know exactly who he was, is like, Fetis, stop. And I'm like, stop hanging, fuck. How many magazines you got in your pouch?

And then in that moment, I made the wrong decision. Instead of saying, I have none, I was like, I got six. And he was like, get off the bars. And I'm like, fuck. Show me. I show him they're not there. And he's like, you motherfucker, you're fucked. And it turned into a nightmare for a couple of weeks while I was the dude. Oh, man. Carrying the giant trident and the huge helmet thing.

He just, cause he just, he wasn't going to quit, but he just could not perform close to good enough. So they eventually like, yeah, we just got to let him go. Stop fucking with him.
