Yes.

I didn't get rolled back in buds, but you could tell the guys that got rolled back, they were like, okay, like pool comp, they know what's coming.

They're just a little bit ahead.

And that's how I felt like I was going into Ramadi.

I had enough to know, like, okay, I know what's coming.

And I told, you know, once the task unit was on the ground, I'm like, this is going to be a historical deployment.

Which is a big statement.

That's not a small statement.

I didn't throw that word around, but I knew.

You had a lot of new guys, I think.

We had a decent amount of new guys.

It wasn't overwhelming, but we had a solid, probably normal average number of new guys.

Okay.

Three, four guys per platoon, new guys, something like that.

So not overwhelming and all great guys.

I mean, just telling them what's happening.

You know, you put the SIGACs, the Significant Activities, which are basically enemy attacks, brief the SIGACs in the last 24 hours, and then you brief them the SIGACs in the last seven days, and then you brief them the SIGACs in the last month.

And it doesn't take a rocket scientist, because in the last 24 hours, there was three guys wounded, one guy killed, you know...

38 enemy attacks.

And you think, whoa, that's a rough day.
