no factor RPGs going over the, you know, lucky RPGs going over the convoy, you know, machine gun fire going between vehicles.

Like we, we, we got, we got lucky.

God's a frog, man.

But it was still a little bit distant to me that someone could get wounded or killed.

It was there, but not

we really dominated the battle space.

Like coalition forces dominated the battle space.

And so I didn't have that much of that kind of pressure in my head.

These guys are my bros, and these guys are my friends, and...

When I took over that platoon, we were the first, like the first, maybe the first or second thing we did was a nighttime OTB in San Diego, pilot recovery, training operation.

So I had done three shipboard deployments, man.

I know how to do over the beach.

And we go over the beach and one of our boats like,

capsizes or the motor dies, I forget which.

I think it's just the motor died.

And we get the pilot and we come back and now we got a down boat.

And the guys who, when I took over the platoon, some of the guys were kind of friends with the old officer.

And so there was a little bit of that.

And some of the guys didn't like the old officer.

And so there was a little bit of a friction, right?
