And you want to be with your kids, but you're not going to be with your kids in the SEAL teams.

It's not a good family environment.

Now, if you have a strong family, men have been going on some form of deployment

since the beginning of time.

You said this at breakfast, and I fucking love this.

I mean, because I hear sometimes people like, oh, you know, the father's got to be around.

Like, I wasn't around.

You know?

And a lot of dads weren't around.

And they raised some awesome kids.

And so, yeah, guys have been going on the hunt, on the sea voyage, on the crusade, whatever you're going on, men have been going on that stuff for a long time.

And the kids understand that, and the moms understand it, and they raise warriors.

There's a couple, but number one is marry like a pretty awesome woman.

And then, you know, just apply the principles of leadership to your marriage, you know?

It's the same principles that you want your wife to listen to you, you better listen to her.

You want your wife to trust you, you better trust her.

You want your wife to respect you, you better treat her with respect.

You want your wife to care about you, you better care about her.

If something goes wrong, you better take ownership.

So that's worked out great for me.
