Yep.

And there's 300 people at the prep school.

It's distributed basically amongst...

Folks coming from the fleet, so guys who did four or five years in the military somewhere, and they're coming into the Naval Academy from the fleet.

And then athletes, and then sort of a mixture of other folks who need a little extra school, right?

And then you do a full school year.

You're competing.

It's basically a redshirt year.

That's not a redshirt year.

I competed up and down the East Coast against, you know, all the other prep schools.

And you finish that year in May and then, you know, you're done with the prep.

The prep year is fine.

It's a little bit of a shock when you're 18, but it's fine.
