Yeah, same diff, but anyway, these are early, early days. Yeah. So anyway, I did that. And, you know, we got these Iraqis that were apparently vetted by the green zone. And, you know, before you know it, it's time to go back to flying. I went back to flying. Started doing fires, enjoying the job itself. But also it was that... So break was always a challenge.

And I think when I fly into Calgary airport all the time, I still get this feeling of anxiety because it'd be like, fucking, you're coming back, you haven't flown for a while. And it's like, you know, check flight, you're like, fuck, can I have her still, you know, after a couple months. But, you know, it is what it is, right? That was the time.

I was, yeah. I was married and didn't have a son yet. And my wife at the time was supportive of the whole idea. She knew that, you know, flying's not easy. She knew that I was interested in seeing these areas. But obviously the time away and the environment had its, we get into that. But yeah.

Yeah, and then I went back, and so 2004, things are a little more aggressive, and we were doing a low-profile PSD. So we had a little compound, what was the Westgate that goes up to the Biap, Irish? Just on the wall, Armour Group had bought, I think, five or six villas. And, uh, we would, uh, we bought, that was kind of when the boys started going off the PST teams.

Cause there was a lot of people out there that were fucking around. That was disgusting in my, in my memory. In other words, a lot of these guys that were working for these PST teams had not experienced much in the military. And I got the impression that they felt they had free reigns to... You know, to make certain choices that were, in my regards, questionable.

And, you know, I can say for Arm Group, and this is early days Arm Group, previously they were called DSL. Like London, there was Control Risk Group and DSL Arm Group. My boss at that time in Iraq, he was the ex-CEO of the New Zealand SAS. Nice man. There was good vetting. The legionnaires that had supported Armour Group in Algeria that were capable and able and willing.

I had obviously, because I did, we can come back to it, but I did in my six years with the Legion, I did four with the GCP, which is the Group Commando Parachutiste. So it's similar to the Pathfinders in the British system or the Canadian system. But each regiment in the French military, there's nine right now. One of them is Legion. The rest is regular French. Each regiment has a GCP team or two.
