I'm walking through his talk and they're announcing like through the radios that the SEALs just engaged two IED emplacers at this location where that IED had taken place.

And I walk into his office and he goes, are those your guys?

And I'm like, yes, sir.

And he said, I need you over in Eastern Ramadi.

And I said, Roger that, sir.

Let me, let me get it fixed.

Let me get, let me get it together.

And, you know, we, we chatted and he explained to me what was going on.

This area called the Malab district run by the first of the 506 band of brothers, outstanding, outstanding army unit.

I mean, just as awesome as it gets, they were in control of this or working to get control over this place called Malab district.

And they were just getting annihilated with IEDs.

I mean, it was absolutely horrible.

And so went back and I put together a crew to go over to Eastern Ramadi and conduct a massive clearance with them.

So we're over there for a few days.

We're getting to know the Iraqi troops.

We're planning this big, giant operation.

And again, bro, when we're in the SEAL teams and we think of a big operation, we think of like a task unit, right?

Maybe a task unit plus a company of Rangers or, you know, a company of maybe a platoon of infantry guys.

When I say big, bro, I'm talking like thousands.

Not thousands, but hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of soldiers.
