uh deployment with them um i was interested in that and i had some really good experienced snipers that were cool with it so they brought me in and that became my my specialty let's talk about let's talk about your first deployment with uh with silver how long were you there before the deployment um it's a lot quicker rotation so it's probably about uh, eight months from what I remember.

So it's a little bit of a blur. It was about eight months, you know, um, I won't get too much into the details of the cycle, but it's like a lot quicker than what we used to call ProDev and SIDEX, all the pre-deployment stuff. It's only like really like four month increments. So it's a year instead of 18 months. It's not nearly as long. And wherever you fall into that timing. So, yep.
