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?

And I, so this boat's down and the guy's like, we're in a perimeter.

And the guy's like, dude, we got to call admin.

We got to call the trucks down here and get this boat towed back.

And I was like, we're not doing that.

And they're like, well, what are we going to do?

And I go, this is what we're doing.

And I gave him the plan and I,

I put on my fins and took the boat and I was like, hey guys, I'm gonna, you guys are gonna paddle this boat.

They're like, they're looking at me like I'm crazy.

Like paddling a boat through the surf, like this is buds.

And I said, we're gonna, and as soon as we get like deep enough, we'll set up a tow line.

And we did have a good tow, long tow line.

And I remember I put, beatered my weapon into the boat and I got in the water.
