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.

and I'm keeping the bow into the wave so we don't flip over.

And then we get the other boat comes in.

I get those lines secured and then they start towing us out.

And then the guys drag me back into the boat.

But like one of the guys in that platoon was like, after you did that that night, like we were doing anything for you.

Because I kind of, they had kind of said like, oh, we got to call admin.

And I'm like, no, we're not calling that.

We're gonna make this happen.

But there was all kinds of stuff like that.

Like step up and do the right thing.

Yeah, these guys are my friends.

You know why these guys listen to me?

Because I listen to them.

You know why these guys treated me with respect?

Because I treated them with respect.
