I had a pretty lackluster career, no Hollywood deployments or anything.
I mean, you can feel it when you walk in there.
I got in after the global war on terrorism was over, but I still, you know, I did my deployments.
Everything that's happened over the past few months, I don't know what I believe anymore.
And just from the nature of that job, because of my expertise, I ended up with a TBI, a traumatic brain injury.
I'm kind of, I'm really setting my own beliefs now and I'm kind of chasing that and determining what I think of, you know, our existence in this world and everything.
So I was, I was a Navy Swick.
and all that um but if there if there are things out there if if things can get you know caught in this reality or whatever it is that room has to be one of those places because that room is just pure healing i mean that is where people's lives change for the better it's it's indescribable the person who goes in that room is not the person that's going to come out of that room that's kind of what they give us and kind of what they tell us and then uh they number us one through six and
went to, so I, and it's not, you know, none of this is like classified or anything.
It's more just personal preference.
My team was just outside of New Orleans, Louisiana.
And then, so our inherent job is being the best in the world at shooting heavy weapons, 50 cal machine guns, mini guns, 240s, everything like that.
So the big guns that shoot a lot of rounds and,
we're just finding out now, do a lot of damage.
The average gun you're gonna see in a movie is gonna shoot a 5.56 round, which is smaller than anything coming out of a minigun or a .50 cal.
I was picked to go fifth, and if you go fifth or sixth, you're allowed to have a small breakfast because you're going to be waiting a while, despite the fact that the hits don't take that long.
When you see, I guess, one of those massive sniper rifles in a movie is the best way I can explain it.
Guys go in, you get set up, absolutely nobody's rushed, and then afterwards you go out on the deck where there's a plunge pool, there's a water feature, so you hear water moving, you're overlooking the ocean, the sun's out, that's where you take your notes, and you do that as well, and nobody's rushed.
