You had a lot of new guys, I think.

We had a decent amount of new guys.

It wasn't overwhelming, but we had a solid, probably normal average number of new guys.

Okay.

Three, four guys per platoon, new guys, something like that.

So not overwhelming and all great guys.

I mean, just telling them what's happening.

You know, you put the SIGACs, the Significant Activities, which are basically enemy attacks, brief the SIGACs in the last 24 hours, and then you brief them the SIGACs in the last seven days, and then you brief them the SIGACs in the last month.

And it doesn't take a rocket scientist, because in the last 24 hours, there was three guys wounded, one guy killed, you know...

38 enemy attacks.

And you think, whoa, that's a rough day.

But then you realize it's every day for seven days, and then you realize it's every day for seven months.

Fuck.

Or for a month, and then that's how it's been.

And just before we showed up, like, the 3-8 Marines had had a terrible, about a week where they had lost

four or five guys in that week before we showed up.

And they lost a couple more before that.

But, you know, that's what we're getting into.

Leif Babin and Seth Stone.

Yeah, my brothers.
