At TDC. They told you? Yeah, because they would sit us down and they would tell us. Afterwards or during the course? During the course. During the course. We would know. Randy started the program. He'd been agency for a while. Gotcha. We knew. I mean, he didn't have to... It was, hey, guys, this is OJ. Wink, wink. You know, we knew.

It wasn't... But officially, when we got there, because it was a cordoned off training area, it was like a private training area where there were no outsiders.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. And... So that's when I knew. And what I was so cool about is that the teams, for me, the pay was better. It was. It was great. It was great pay. Granted, we weren't getting paid well before, but it was still great. But the smaller teams were what was cool to me. I thought that was neat. Being you and a buddy and that's it. Yeah. And you're out there on your own.

And then sometimes you're out on your own, on your own, on your own, where I did a lot walking within the cities on my own, which was awesome. I love that. Where was your first deployment?

You don't have to draw on the man, wear the man jammies.

Not the Serena Hotel, that's the one that got hit, but there's that other hotel downtown that they had that park and you could just go buy stuff. And I would, I'd stop and I'd buy local stuff, throw it on. Yeah, you know, just make sure you de-louse. De-louse, you're gonna smell a little bit, but it worked. And I loved walking on my own. Like in Saks, he trusted me.

It's just they didn't blend.
