The little birds.

And so the problem was we had to get a weight for every operator.

And I weighed in with 70 pounds worth of equipment on, and I was actually the lightest guy.

And I didn't even have water on me, right?

That's just the ammo load that we're carrying.

We carried lots of ammunition.

I'm carrying breaching charges, firing systems.

You know, we're all carrying at least two radios.

We're carrying a lot of stuff.

And we didn't bring, most of us probably didn't bring any water at all, thinking we're not going to be there long enough.

And if we really need a drink, we'll go downstairs to the prison and we'll drink it out of a faucet.

No.

But...

So I was 70 pounds at the lightest at that time.

And during that era, I weighed about 164 pounds.

So add 70 pounds with the gear on my back, you know, and that's what I weighed.

And so when you look at that and you look, okay, you got four operators on a helicopter, okay?

And then you start weighing in the pilots, right?

It didn't take us long to be over the ACL load, right?

Breach of the ACL load.
