Uh, there was, there was a few things that happened where you, you like, uh, there was the CPA and Najaf was being overrun and we needed, they needed QRF.
Najaf is five hours away by Humvee and they need a QRF and they called us.
And I'm like, hey, there's like three other units between us and Najaf.
And they're like, I don't know, but you guys are going.
And I remember the SEA of that troop, who, like I said, was the guy that was like, hey, go on this mission, which was kind of for no reason.
He's a great friend of mine to this day.
But I came out of like the talk and I was like, hey guys,
load up all the rockets, load up all the ammunition.
You can fit in the trucks.
This is what's happening.
We're going QRF, we're going into joff.
CPA's been overrun.
And we, 20 minutes later, we're jocked up.
And that guy, that guy hugged me.
And I was like, hmm, this is interesting.
And, cause he was, he usually went with us, but he wasn't going with us.
And so he like hugged me and I was like, hmm.
Interesting.
Long story.
No big deal.
