I was on a fast attack submarine that had enough power. matched

It could supply the energy for the town you come from. matched

And we intentionally and deliberately sink it. matched

And it had a crew on there with hundreds of people and all it takes is one muzzle ball valve to open the wrong way and we could have a problem. matched

So not only we were sinking a nuclear reactor on purpose, but we have a lot of advanced weapons on a boat like that, right? matched

So it's a, matched

a truly mission critical environment no less mission critical than you going out on patrol and not coming back until you've added troops in contact engagement right so mission critical for people coming out of the military is different than mission critical from the civilian mindset we don't measure it in downtime in the military we measure our own mortality and i think that there's a lot of people that know people that are in the military and and they joined they didn't join the military to make money they did it to make a difference and matched

figure out where their constitutional life would be redefined at. matched

And we want those people coming out of the military. matched

Not at all. matched

You didn't go and get a super MBA. matched

I didn't know. matched
