I just ran as hard as I could because that's the only thing I wanted to do, man, was get through that training and be a SEAL.

So I just put out hard and that's how I overcame.

I overcame failure just by pure, just aggressive hard work, man.

I failed pool comp and me and one of my buddies, we got, this shouldn't even be legal, but we got

we got dive equipment from dive phase to practice with, but we wore it in the dip tank.

So we were pool comping each other in the dip tank on a weekend.

And then got through it on Monday.

I mean, I had fun, you know, I'm not, I'm not saying it wasn't hard.

Like how weeks, how weeks hard you're it's cold, wet, miserable.

But I mean, I wasn't really mentally stressed.

I was kind of having fun, you know, I enjoyed it.

Like, man, you're going to get to be a frog man.

Yeah.

You know, I'll do it.

I would have done whatever they told me to do.

Like, I think there's some people that show up to Bud's.

That they would rather die.

And I was definitely in that category.

So, you know, and I think they figured that out.

You know, I think they figured out with guys, they go, yep, this guy, we're not going to break this guy.
