basically lead young men and motivate young men as a helicopter pilot and doing all the things you had to do in your detachment, your squadron.
Talk to me about recruiting now today, young sailors.
What is the pitch to a young sailor, a young 17, 18-year-old kid, in thinking about coming into the United States Navy?
You know, that's a really interesting question.
A lot of my
Sons, friends, my son went to VMI, their naval officers, Marine Corps officers, a lot of them left early.
And as soon as they could, that's over.

And their message, I'm 68 years old.
My message is going to fall on deaf ears.
But the young officers and the senior enlisted have a story to tell now that's very, very positive.
And I think the impact on recruiting is going to be great.

Well, the White Tops, I did a tour as the chief pilot at the Sikorsky factory for three years, and we did all the maintenance on the presidential H3s.
I wouldn't even look at them, Steve.
I mean, they're just, they're so nice and they're so pristine, but they are maintained to a standard that's really unbelievable.
And the HMX-1 guys who are the Marine Corps pilots that fly them, they just show up and take parts.
Nobody even questions.
It's a beautiful thing.
