uh, from Coronado because it's like a 20 to 25 minute drive.

And every single person there was one of the best people that I've ever met.

And it is, most people don't have a vehicle.

Uh, I was, I was lucky enough to have my truck while I was out there.

Again, I don't know if it's the energy in the house or if they're finding these people somehow.

And so we would go there, you know, nonstop.

But everybody there might as well have been an angel on earth.

It was kind of our safe space while you're going through, you know, hell you're going through this really tough training and it was our safe place.

I mean, their demeanor, the...

The way that they treat you, the way that they talk to you, everything there was perfect.

It's where we would go and kind of get away from it all at least, you know, for an hour and eat some good food.

Even if I didn't do the medicine, that would have still been a helpful retreat because of how amazing it was.

And when I left, when I graduated, I had my whole family come out there.

And yeah, the other guys that were there with me, they tell you that when you go... So I got kind of nervous because they tell you that you're going to do...

I believe there was eight of us.

And I brought him in.

I go up to the counter and I tell the owner who's, you know, he always runs a cash register.

you're going to do this in a group.

I said, man, I don't think you know what you've done for me.

And I'm sitting there kind of abrasive to that idea because I don't want to trip and go on a journey around strangers.
