All right, you're going to make me happy now.

I'm about to rip your face off for fucking talking about Chad Bianca.

This motherfucker had Chad Bianca on while you're in the fucking room?

So I spent 25 years in the U.S.

military.

I was a Green Beret, intel officer, this and that.

Yeah.

Had a good rodeo.

Had a good run.

Pretty eclectic background.

And my last assignment in the reserves was to be a technology scout for what's called Army Futures Command as a reservist.

And the unit was the 75th Innovation Command.

Basically, we would have a presence in about almost two dozen cities throughout the country where we would interact, engage with

local industry in tech to see if they wanted to sell their serve product or service into the army procurement cycle in order to be able to, you know, improve our ability to counter threats, right?

Foreign threats in support of the U S constitution's effort to defend from enemies foreign.

All right.

China, Iran, North Korea, uh,

Russia, Russia, and then some of the, you know, non-state actors, et cetera.

So then I was on the, like the unit was just created in 2020, 2020, I think.
