And I went to the prep school.

Newport, Rhode Island.

Yeah, Newport for a year.

It's a nice place.

It's great.

Yeah.

And so you wrestle for, I mean, you do school, you know, you're in, West Point has a prep school and Colorado Springs has a prep school.

And so we joked that my wife was first person in our class accepted and I was last, which is highly possible, actually.

Yeah, if you graduate prep school, you're straight into the Naval Academy.

Like they fully expect you to be there the next year.

Zero guidance, Andrew, really, like from my high school.

And I think the ecosystem I was in, like people just didn't really know how to do that.

You know how to apply to schools.

I mean, my parents obviously helped when I applied to the Naval Academy.

But when I when I look at the system that kids go through now to go, you know, their process to find the best college experience.

I never had one conversation with a guidance counselor about what to do.

I just didn't.

I mean, I just got very lucky.

A few people, my high school wrestling coach intervened, I think at some point, and called the Naval Academy to speak to the coach to say, you should give this kid a chance.

But he didn't, they didn't know who he was.
