Coleman Ruiz

Like for all the people you and I both know and the people I've been around, no other human in my life have I met with his physical and mental toughness, not even close.

The guy was born in the wrong century is the way I describe him.

And he was like my mentor and

He was my guy, you know, and he was killed in 07.

So that's the, to answer your question about like that, the bigness of the Naval Academy, that's how it started for me.

Like everything was just on steroids, you know, all these kinds of people.

A hundred percent.

Yeah, I hope not anymore, but at that point... No, at that point.

There's no question that's right.

And the other part that was probably the most important to me, Andrew, was the person or the group.

Because... This is going to sound very arrogant, but...

When I got to... I'm going to this prep school.

I'm going to the Naval Academy.

I think on day one, I'm going to literally meet the cream of the crop in the country.

And that was not the case.

And it was not the case at the Naval Academy.

And frankly, it wasn't the case in the teams either.

Like, I'm not saying I'm better than anybody, but I thought every single person when I got to the Naval Academy was going to be entirely focused on whatever our mission was.

And I didn't even know what my mission was there, right?

I just knew I was going to be told what Wright looks like.
