Extremely good to the point where.
It is fun in a way to go out and be, you know, to be be playing like the most dangerous game, you know?
Um
But what ends up happening, and it's something that's taken me years to understand, is
You go, you have this exposure to to the thing you've been trained to do, the thing that you've you've built an identity around that think about the the way the world, for the most part, the way I'm sorry, Americans view Navy SEALs, generally speaking.
Like when I'm when I meet people and they find out I was a Navy SEAL, it is rare that the reaction is not some huge level of admiration, respect.
Even if they disagree with the politics around whatever the United States has done or or hasn't done, there's always like, wow.
Thank you
But then what ends up happening is you over time after you get back, and I again I had one combat tour.
I can't imagine how this would be after 10, 15.
There's so many people that go through so much more than me.
You naturally reflect like we do on anything else in our lives.
You reflect on what it is you did, good or bad.
You just think about it.
I I I sometimes think about college.
It's neither good nor bad.
I this class I took or these friends I had, whatever.
You think about all this stuff.
We're always processing the past.
But when you when you separate yourself from having been in war.
