So I wanted to get back as soon as possible.

And I'll tell you this, being out alone versus being in a troop or with other, a task force, 30, 60, 12, whatever, however many people, I fucking learned 100 to 1.

what the fuck to do that day, you know what I mean?

Because I can only count on me, you know what I mean?

So my learning curve was through the roof.

And ever since then, it's changed the way I see, think, do everything I do.

When I got back to the safe house in Jalalabad is when I made my first radio contact.

Yeah, probably about seven.

A couple of days, get back.

Gotcha.

And then the assault force came in.

We went back and got the guy.

There was another couple of days, the whole thing, maybe two weeks.

And sending video was like in its infancy then.

You know what I mean?

Like if I could send the video, it would only been like, it took six hours to send a three second clip.

You know how it was back then on Satcom and shit?

Like kind of existent, but really like not like it is now.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.
