Like, it was awesome.

Um, you know, and he, when, when Mark died, I talked to him when Ryan was moved.

Like he was, he was just awesome supporting.

And again, my whole chain of command, you know, the Commodore, the Admiral, my commanding officer, like everyone, um,

the senior enlisted guys, because I knew all the senior enlisted Master Chiefs as well.

And everyone was just very, very supportive.

And so when I got done with that deployment, he said, where do you want to go?

And I knew where I wanted to go because Ramadi was not over yet.

And we saw like a glimpse of change, but they did some of the heaviest fighting after we left.

And so...

I knew because I was in training cell at SEAL Team 1.

And when I was in training cell at SEAL Team 1, I learned so much and it was so important.

I realized how important it was to train.

And then having my guys, Leif and Seth and the rest of the JOs and the E-Dogs, like bringing them up in the teams, I knew that I needed to do that for more guys.

And so I knew that the one place that I could do that was going to trade it.

And so I said to the boss, the admiral, I said, you know, I want to go to the trade at.

And he said, cool.

And he gave me orders to trade at.

And when I got there, it was exactly, you know, what I knew it was.

You know, I knew that we had guys and, you know, we got home October 21st.
