It was Echo Company, 258. It was called the House of Pain. I was supposed to be the hardest one there, but come on, they're all the hardest. Every basic trading depot is the hardest one. The Stingers Honor Graduate, I did really well. It just fit. It was physically fit. The athletics completely prepped me for it. The teamwork aspect of it.

You just had to get used to the yelling, and they were still smacking us around. It was 1995, which if you didn't deserve to get smacked around, then you didn't get smacked. And that made sense to me. It was based on merit. You work your ass, it's merit-based. You're going to perform. You're going to do what you're told. We're going to move you up. You're going to be a smart ass.

You're going to be lazy. You're going to be... Fat body? No, then you don't. It's easy. It's a piece of cake. And went to airborne school, but I was married to my first wife at the time. And nothing against, she's a wonderful person. We just got married way too young. Just nothing bad to say about her, but she was having an affair. So I got my Jody letter. Hey, I want a divorce.

And it really was hard from there on out, airborne school on out, because that wasn't something I ever expected. That wasn't something in my family that happened. Divorce didn't happen. To me, that wasn't even on my radar. And it was, whoa, this is, so I'm fighting airborne school. Airborne school is easy. Just all you gotta do is learn how to fall break yourself and then jump out of a plane.

It was memorable. There was a memorable thing about airborne school though that was awesome. Again, God looking out. My first two jumps, first day jump, first night jump, I was the first one out the door. It was so awesome. Being able to have the door open, first jump, and I'm watching. That was cool. Nice. It's memorable. And the night jump, too. I was like, how lucky am I to be?

How did that happen? I got lucky to be the first one out the door. So, you know, your door opens, you get to watch all that shit for about 30 seconds before you go. But airborne school, then went through RIP, got through Ranger RIP, went second bat, and I was there for about eight months. And, you know, you're an un-tabbed guy, and you've been around Rangers.

You know if we're un-tabbed at Ranger Battalion, we're shit. We're getting hazed. I mean, it's just, it's miserable. You're hiding in your team room on the weekends because you don't want the tab spec four to come in there and smoke your balls and haze the shit out of you. So you just, like, either hide or you take off for the weekend. And, but... Went on a GRX training mission at Bragg.
