Right. So I never did get reinstated. It's actually ironic because to this day, I'm still trying to completely clear my name despite being honorably discharged. I have a rating that is similar to those who are convicted of sexual assault.

So it's basically a double slap in the face where I have an honorable discharge, but if I tried to go into any other service in any other capacity, I can't because of what is written on that documentation. So it literally takes... uh, either the chief of staff, chief of staff, um, um, the president or your secretary of the air force to actually reverse it.

And, um, it's been, I would say a decade long fight, um, to even get to that point. And, uh, yeah, so it's, it's, I was supposed to be a pilot originally. I was supposed to be flying. And I, to this day, if there's ever an avenue to try to be heard, I still think about that and clear my name.

Is that fair? It's super fair. I was, I mean, I know, I was honest and told the truth. I was even polygraphed, and it was something that I was telling the truth back then, and I lost my career. And we helped a lot of good people. We had three convictions of sexual assault. We helped over 51 different victims. And it was a lot of good. But I lost everything. I lost my name. I lost my career.

And when this happened, I freaked out. She was the next best thing to me. And I didn't want to go back to that place again. And so... I was ashamed. I was completely ashamed. And there were other factors too. And I would say just a lot of lies that were floating in my head. I also didn't... She has a story. She has a past. And she's grown from it.
