And all of a sudden comes this big organization that puts you in, you know, many processes to determine where you can serve.
And all of a sudden, you're not the center of everything.
So this is one big change and life lesson.
I'm actually here to serve, in this case, my country versus myself.
And I'm going to be wherever they want me and feel that I'm the best fit.
So that's one.
The second piece is I got to go to an officer course and I commanded more than 50 people at the age of 21, 22.
So think about it.
Think about what I just said.
Let's just, you know, move the word commanded to manage.
I managed 50 people at the age of 22.
And by the way, managed them not nine to five, but we were serving at the base out of home.
So we got to see our families three days every two weeks.
So basically I was their mother and father of 50.
By the way, not 13 years old or like 12, like 18 years old.
They're younger than me in two or three years.
That's crazy.
And I think that this type of responsibility in such a young age and being able also to thrive in an environment in which people are constantly changing and you are learning a lot from your peers, from your boss, I think that that definitely drove a couple of
nice lessons that shaped me later on as an entrepreneur.
I think that definitely like the military service, I don't know if it, it definitely opened me for entrepreneurship in the younger age.
