We're seeing a lot of cool things, but what I want people that are listening to this,
matched
You could be anything in the military.
matched
We've hired aviation boats and mates, deck div, damage control men.
matched
Listen.
matched
We started a schoolhouse.
matched
It's led by not only a pilot, but a top gun instructor pilot that was once an aircraft carrier XO.
matched
Just so people that are listening, there are only 11 aircraft carriers in the fleet.
matched
If you're a CO or an XO of a carrier, you're a national treasure.
matched
There's only 22 of you on this planet, right?
matched
So in those, I mean, look at the Ford.
matched
It's the shield right now sitting off the coast of Israel.
matched
And that's the most advanced weapon platform we've ever built.
matched
It's $13.8 billion war machine with multiple reactors.
matched
unlimited weapons and about five to six thousand people that are capable of doing just about anything any city could do right so i want people to realize like you don't have to have a technical background in the military to get into the space what combat infantry has demonstrated is they have an incredible emotional range i think one of the reasons why you and i get along is beyond that we're veterans one of the reasons is beyond that we were wrestlers but i've had to face my own mortality because
matched
did it through the form of cancer you certainly how many times you've been shot at in your life too many to count too many combat how many firefights you've been hundreds you know so the thing is is when you visit your mortality it changes the way that you view things the aperture gets a little bit wider would you agree yes without a doubt so we're pretty intentional we're very deliberate and very purposeful for on everything we do because we have we have a mission and that's to stop the cycle of suicide within the veteran community that is our purpose right
matched
And it's interesting because the veteran community where you come from, when we started this business, had a 22 kill rate per day.
matched
That means that we have lost more people since the end of the war than we lost during the war.
matched
By actually a drastic amount, yeah.
matched
And I'm glad to say that that number is reduced from what reports I've seen lately.
matched
It's around 17, but we both agree it's 17 too many.
