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.

Yeah, but I'm grateful I got through. What's the retention like in training? I think it's comparatively a little higher retention for that because, you know, you start with less guys, so we started with around 60 guys or so, and you finish with 20-something. Oh, shit, it's that much? You lose that many dudes? Yeah, yeah, for sure.

And it's also hard because you're competing with other SEALs that are experienced, you know? Yeah. What are the phases? There's no phased numbers, but it's, you know, assault is all CQB at first. That's the first part. And our bread and butter is that. So if bread and butter for, like, the Delta guys is a land warfare navigation stuff and all the stressors that go with that, that's ours.

And then... A couple locations for that, you know, Mississippi being one. And in the middle of the summer, that shit's hard, you know, sleeping with brown recluses. Nice. In the barracks, you know. Yeah. Trying not to get bit by spiders. I had my roommate and it was like a sleepwalker.

So that was a little stressor for me too because you wake up in the middle of the night sometimes with full-blown sentences. You know, and one night he woke up in the middle of the night. He must have been thinking about spiders. And he was like, ah, there's a spider. There's a spider. And he's like, eyes closed, but sitting straight up. And he ended up going to Red Squadron.

And then I woke up startled, like, where the fuck is it? Where the fuck is it? And only to like fucking, now he's just sitting there quiet to realize that he's not even awake. I go, motherfucker, dude. Go back to sleep. You know, every spider trap in that house was full of, it's just legs everywhere. Oh, damn. They were full of brown recluse spiders.

There's a, you know, I hope they fix that problem. Damn. I don't know how many people have been bit, but so anyways. You lose the majority of the guys in the site? Yeah, in that first six weeks. That's like the kind of hell week per se of selection. Yeah. Is there any diving? Uh, no diving, no diving. Not at least when I was there. Um, you kind of do that with your team.

Um, you know, but then we have our land warfare, which is all, you know, a lot of helo based work, getting used to all different types of helos and all the etiquette and procedures that go with getting all of that stuff to, to a lot finer detail than, than, than, than ever before, really, you know? Um,
