We kind of replaced them within weeks.

Like we started augmenting them and then kind of replaced them.

And after a little while, like after a month or so, we were the only platoon in, we were the only SEAL platoon in Iraq.

Holy shit.

For a short period of time.

And so, you know, we were just doing, you know, what the Team 5 guys had established.

And then my sister platoon at SEAL Team 7 had kept up the pace.

And it was just, you know, Baghdad SWAT is pretty much what it was.

It was get intel from various sources, find out where an enemy was located, and then go get them.

And we had a lot of targets, and we got to do a ton of it.

And it was...

It was like what, it was what we all joined the teams to do, you know?

So it was awesome.

Yeah.

Actually, the first time I left the wire in Baghdad, the troop SEA was a friend of mine.

Like we were E5 mobsters at team one.

And he had been there for like a month.

And so we show up and he goes, there was like a mortar attack or something.

And he was like, hey, go take your platoon and go like check these roads and this place.

And we went out, you know, we went out the wire and like check these roads and drove to here, drove to there.
