I mean, a couple of the cartels we were at had been overrun and guys had died in them, you know, late 80s, couple years before.

You know, FLMN just kind of, that whole thing just died down, you know, but...

You know, I was 18 Charlie.

The 18 Charlies that I hung out with, like, were on the land nav course.

I'm with, like, the guy I'm supposed to be with, my, like, counterpart or whatever.

We're at this fucking rando intersection.

And he's like, yo, we haloed in just over there, came to this, fucking ambushed, killed 100 dudes, like, right here, right here.

And he's like, yeah.

And I'm just thinking...

This guy's supposed to be learning from me?

He haloed in Claymore dudes, killed hundreds.

Like, what am I going to teach this guy?

You know what I mean?

So we did basic leadership.

It was a good time.

And then I just, I did 10 months in group and I just wasn't in that rest.

Yeah, I was at a I was at this guy's house at like one in the morning drinking, smoking cigars.

And he handed me a piece of paper, which was an old dirt track across from the prison on Bragg.

And he's like, it said 6 a.m.

at this field.
