But I put on them boots and that's when I was like,
holy fuck, the army don't do this.
You know what I mean?
And then you get there and it's just like all the bags, your sizes, pack.
I mean, fucking tip top, man.
Top notch.
Unit selection?
Fucking loved it.
But I fucking loved every minute of it.
But this is the premise or the core of what makes me, me.
Leave me the fuck alone.
Point me in the right direction.
So I just did that every day.
selection oh yeah so selection's kind of easy fucking process there's no real magic to it you know uh start out they teach you navigation if you fucking listen to the classes were the best fucking classes i've ever had on navigation if you just listen to what the fuck they told you you could fucking pass but guys in the map reading classes think they fucking know it all
so they don't pay attention to the detail, right?
And then, so you get your map reading classes, you do a couple weeks of fucking walking around the mountains, you know what I mean?
Like, little kind of warm-up, whatever you call it, right?
And then fucking, it hits you, you're in the field, and like, you got fucking ten maps, and you're like, I'm here, one map sheet, two map sheets, three map sheets, I'm going here, and it's like, have a good one, and you're fucking off.
So...
The thing that really fucking, I think I liked, but the army doesn't like is no one tells you shit.
