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?

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.
