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.

About eight months in, I was at battalion and the joint readiness exercise. So we're doing a joint readiness exercise with blue, green, some PJs, and then the Air Force guys at Pope, the spec ops, the specter. And the task forces are two night stalkers were there too. So it's a big thing. It was pretty awesome. So, I mean, I'm a private, I'm just, but I'm fighting this divorce.

I mean, my wife's cheating on me. And it's just killing me. Did you know who she was cheating on? No, I mean, at that first two week, it was a two week GRX, the first week. I still hadn't figured it out. I was in denial more than anything. You know, that's no way she's doing that. And this is for the admin and cell phone. Cell phones are a big thing.

So to go home to call, you had to actually go to a pay phone. So it wasn't like I could call and check all the time like you could now. Which maybe that would have made it worse. Maybe this made it better. But I'm a new private. I'm around all these tier one guys. I'm just, holy shit, dude. I'm... And when you're a new guy, you have that bravado, but should I be here?

You know, tab spec fours, you got tab squad leaders, tab B5s. These guys, this is old hat to them. I'm like, oh my gosh, man. So the stress levels for me, don't fuck up, don't fuck up. I got two hernias on my first jump too. So I don't want to tell anybody because I got two little aliens going there when we jumped in. Is it Sicily at Bragg? I can't remember the drop zone.

But anyway, it all came to a head and I called home and she wouldn't answer. So I finally called my brother, Mike, love him. I go, hey, what's going on with Stacy, man? He goes, dude, I don't want to tell you. And as soon as he said that, you know, I was like, crap. So it was in denial.

And I went home on block leave because right after that, we're going on block leave, which is right before Christmas. And I just, I went to the guy's house and I hid in his bushes. I was going to kill him. And I came to my senses and, which was great on my end, because I got out of there. But it was also where I even felt like a bigger failure, because like, man, I can't even do this.

I'm the biggest pussy in the world. But God's got me, you know, God's. But of course, everybody found out, small town, Grand Junction, Colorado. Military found out, of course, because... I was very lucky. Instead of going to jail, I got to go to the VA there in Grand Junction. They threw me in the mental ward, like to check on me. So the military, so the wheels are turning that I'm going to get.
