So they kind of took over our class, and there were some really good dudes, like really high-performing dudes, right? So I used to get first on the O course all the time, and I went to third, you know? And things like that. But they talked to, I think, specifically the 13 guys, said, hey, what do you guys think about this guy? And they were all my bros.

And we all went through Hell Week together, you know, and they looked out for me. Nice. So they came through, and they're like, you got to keep this guy. So they kept me, and then I finished. Damn. It was hard. It was a rough time. How did it feel when you graduated? I felt pretty guilty. I didn't know if I belonged there. I felt a little bit of imposter syndrome.

But one of the instructors, who I honestly didn't think liked me very much anyways, was like, hey, I just want to say this, everybody that finished this shit deserves to be here. And so that kind of cleared it for me, you know, because I had some guys for sure in that class that were like, hey, this fucking guy doesn't deserve to be here, you know, that rolled in or whatever.

But all 13 of those guys that I originally started with didn't think that, so that's all I needed, you know. That's cool, man. We started calling ourselves the Peer Bloods after that. Nice. So we still have that. The guy I ended up working my contracting job for was one of those 13 guys that started his business after his enlistments as a SEAL.

And we were at Team 10 together, so I ended up working for him as a contractor. Nice. He's still running that and very successful. Where did you head to after that? What team? I went to Team 10 after switching orders and getting my couple of grand. And... I don't know why I wanted to be on the East Coast. I just did. I was just over bouncing around California.

I had some inkling that Debrut was a thing. I didn't know much about it. But selection was in my mind. And I was like, if this selection is going to be anything harder than Bud's, I want to make it as... I just struggled through this fucking third phase. I want to make it as... comfortable as possible and not have to be living in a barracks and stuff.
