What does it feel like?

Nevermind what it looks like because their perceptions are not wrong.

Like I said, their perceptions are right.

Oh, I had this video, his dad recognized me.

I must be, you know what I mean?

Like that's all bad stuff.

And I didn't recognize it until my buddy let me know.

And I was very, very grateful.

And it definitely made me recognize that

Yeah, people's perception of you is not what you think it is.

And if you're not careful, you can really get yourself a bad reputation.

And obviously, as you know, reputation in SEAL teams is everything.

Your reputation in the SEAL team is everything.

So I was just very thankful that he gave me that heads up.

And then, again, what made this platoon very impactful for me, SEAL Team 1 Alpha Platoon,

We had a platoon, our platoon officer, our OIC, was pretty much a new guy who had flat transferred from another part of the Navy, and he had come in as our platoon commander.

And, which is no big deal, right?

It's really no big deal.

Like, officers don't have a lot of experience.

It's not that big of a deal.
