Yeah. I used to teach tandem jumping and bundle jumping in the military. And I don't know if you ever see my social media, but like I'm in the sky flying and there's a huge barrel under me. I used to teach that. And what would happen is if you had a bad jump, you know, bundle jump. You would have to cut away. And we called it the nightmare, right? And you got to end the nightmare.

And this thing starts spinning you out of control. It'll be so many Gs that you'll pass out. The parachute will open later, right? You'll be fine. But... We used to tell guys, right, like fucking end that nightmare. Make sense? Now, you're the captain of the ship, so a guy would have to end this nightmare however he ended the nightmare, right?

And then what would happen is afterwards we'd review the video and I'd have to show a guy, right? And then we'd leave him in the classroom for a minute and we'd tell him, hey, gather your emotions. whatever you need to do, and then get on the next plane.

You know what I mean? And guys would do that. You know what I mean? A lot more SEALs needed that time than, like, unit guys, because unit guys, like... Yo, I'll fly this motherfucker up your ass. We ain't going to have no problems today, son. You know what I mean? What's the difference? I don't know. I think the difference is that the unit is always more mature than SEALs. It's an older culture.

Um, so like in a, a lot of times, like, you know, younger guys, normally the seals, they'll have their jump numbers, but they're like their core, their, what makes you, you confidence, dexterity, strength, fucking health, um, It ain't there yet. And they kind of freak out once in a while. Younger guys.
