I just assumed going into that recruitment, like, oh, I'm a shoo-in.

I'm top grad out of Georgetown.

I have all these great references.

I have these mentors who've done it.

I'll be fine.

It's not to say I didn't take it seriously.

I did.

But I was not prepared for the response I got in 2009, which was after a year and a half in, like, sorry.

You just get a letter back from the recruitment and retention center.

that says, we do not need your services.

You can apply three years from now.

And I think that was like the first time in my life where I was like, oh my, I don't have a plan B. Like, I don't know what I'm going to do.

So, I mean, I want to do ops.

Like I wanted to just, but the, because I was so young.

Yeah.

But the young, like the, you know, 22, 23-year-olds, like they didn't put, like they sort of had a training program, right?

Like it was like you do two or three years.

It wasn't an analyst program, but they kind of put you in this sort of,

path, right?

It's the kids who know how to do nothing, right?
