If I don't put some trust in him, he's not going to trust me.

So, yeah, I do that year at...

the admiral's office.

And then the next billet is to be a task unit commander.

And a billet opened up at SEAL Team 3.

And so SEAL Team 3, here I come.

Did you explain what a task unit is to the audience?

Task unit is the old name.

Now it's called a troop, but it's the old name for two platoons combined together with a little headquarters element above it.

So it's about 36 guys, but it really can be anywhere between 30 and 50 or 70.

You know, it's...

I think people are always surprised that the variables inside the military, like a infantry company, can be 80 guys or can be 280 guys.

You know, there's a big variation.

But generally speaking, a task unit is two platoons or a troop is two platoons with between 16 and 20 guys in each platoon.

I've worked with some awesome guys, man, for sure.

Yeah, it was a great crew of guys, man.

Great crew of guys.

know i thought that this may be this this could be getting towards the end of my operational career uh there were some couple other options that may play out or not but at this point you know just for me that this is a just just an awesome opportunity you know an awesome opportunity and i love the seal teams and

to be a troop commander tasking a commander for me was just it was awesome i was again i guess i find myself uh struggling for words when it for me to be able to describe

the things that I've had in my life, like being a platoon commander in Iraq when there's one platoon in Iraq.
