And we told the platoon chief, like, we don't want to work with this guy.
The tune chief brings it up the chain of command and we have a, we request captain's mass, like not official, but we want, we request to go talk to the CO.
So we go into the CO's office and the CO like lines us up, you know, from the chief on down and he goes down the line, like, what's the problem?
What's the problem?
What's the problem?
And we're all saying the same stuff.
This guy's arrogant.
He doesn't listen to us.
It's his way or the highway.
And we get done and the CO says,
You know what this sounds like to me?
This sounds like a mutiny.
We don't have mutinies in the Navy.
We're not going to have a mutiny at my SEAL team.
Guys, go figure this out.
Cool.
We walk out of the office and the SEAL was a good guy who started to pull the thread.
You know, once we left his office and talked to the training cadre and figured more about the guy's reputation and talked to the guy himself.
And he realized like two or three days later, he fired him.
