I was so depleted that day, my legs started cramping and I got to a point where guys in my team were carrying me back to the house because I couldn't even stand up. They were so cramped. It was super painful. A couple of the cadre were having fun with me. They were firing me, carrying me. It was a good time.

The hardest part of that selection being the first six weeks of assault, all CQB-based stuff is really intense and very... very detail oriented, you know, with the goal of figuring out, you know, pliability and trainability, you know, like here's the rule set for this day. with all of the stressors. And then the next day, it all changes.

And you still, no matter what, only have a chance or two to make the same mistake. And if you make the same mistake over consecutive days, that Friday that they're doing their assessments, you're out. And if the mistake's too bad on any given day, you're out. So high stress, but I really, I did enjoy that.

I made some really good friends during that time that we, you know, we all change through the team, you know, and that lifestyle and the intensity of those, that mission set and the time commitment it takes, you know,

it's it's harder in totally different ways they're both really hard and i also don't want to take away from you know how hard buds is you know that people have gone through it's a really profound experience but um i say is harder only because there's such a smaller spectrum of mistakes before you can get out right so you're always within that tiny little sliver of a

of a mistake spectrum before you're out, you're done, you know? And so with all the stressors involved in your life and everything going on, it's like really hard to stay inside of that. It's like there's a tiny ball moving back and forth. You're like, whoa, whoa. It's like a level. It feels like it's a level. And if it gets where the bubble gets outside, you're out. There's no other chance.

Gotcha, gotcha. So the mistake spectrum, I think, in buds is a little more lenient because you don't know anything yet. You just got to not quit. It's really hard physically. But even third phase, when we're learning our skills, I had a hard time. So it's not to take anything away from that. It's just that level is very fine with selection and green team. It has to be that way. Yeah. Yeah.
