Yeah. Cause I'm in eight weeks in bootcamp, another eight weeks at a school. Of course, this transition time, you got to wait for your school to start. Yeah. That's not a bad way to go, but now looking back, yeah. What would you have done knowing your career?

Yeah. You could have easily, you could have made, you know, get to E6, maybe looking at the chief rep. Like, I don't think so. Lateral over, slap some butter bars on, you're good to go.

It is a different career trajectory. I watched officers come and go. 24 months is literally what it seems like. Yeah. You know, for an enlisted guy at a team, you're probably going to do five years minimum. And then over on the East Coast, damn, those guys have been there over a decade. And the O's can kind of bounce in and out, but they're not staying consistently.

My first pre-911 platoon, the LPO, which is leading petty officer, right underneath, the head chef would be the OIC officer in charge, AOIC, the chief, and then the LPO. So the LPO finishes his tour and probably is going to pick up chief. This dude was on his 10th deployment as an E6. He had gotten in some probably along the way. So a little bit of up and down the ladder of enlisted ranks.
