Here's how you read the radar, I couldn't tell you. Wait, were you an OS? OS. Oh shit, that's what I was. Were you? That's funny. I still remember A school. It was down in Dam Neck, so location of development group or team six. And you see all these guys running down the beach. And in A school, you're like, who are those guys? So did that. So it took me about six months to get out to Bud's.

So I show up to Bud's, and it was December-ish time frame. And again, I don't know. I didn't know San Diego in December was cold. I didn't know anything about a winter hell week. But, I mean, Bud's was great. I mean, you know, it's just a grind, right? It's six months every single day. Can you get up at 5 o'clock in the morning? Can you go to 9 o'clock at night?

Can you go through and do all the things you have to do, be cold, wet, sandy, carry this, do that, keep going, and just do it every day? There's only two moments where I didn't think I was going to make it. And those were the two moments where I think I learned the most. The first one was Hell Week. Hell Week started February. I forget the exact date. But it was like the first week of February.

I'll never forget. I get to Monday afternoon, and for whatever reason, I decided to wear a watch, or I had a watch on my wrist. And I look at my watch, and it's like 4.30. And I just think to myself, like, these motherfuckers are crazy. Crazy. Like, they want me to go until Friday, and I didn't. I didn't think about quitting, but I physically thought I couldn't make it.

By Monday afternoon, I thought my legs were broken. Not even 24 hours. Not even 24 hours. I thought, like I literally thought, I believed in my head that my legs were broken, like right in the middle of my shins. Not chin splints, not anything. I'm like, they're broken. I'm going to take a step one of these times and it's just going to go and give way.
