And especially in, I had a couple of different environments that I was in where you felt like you were judged and ridiculed when you made a mistake, even though they would say all day long you weren't. And then another, a different unit, so a different group of people where it just felt so obvious that you weren't judged and ridiculed.

Like it was this, I call it a culture of trust where you trusted, they talk about psychological security, right? Where you can fail and it's okay. You can make mistakes and we'll learn from the mistakes and we'll take whatever the results were of those mistakes and we'll own them and we'll deal with them. Sometimes they can be pretty serious, you know, depending what the mission is.

but we're not going to look at that person and start attacking them and breaking down their character. Like that does not benefit us.

And that starts to break down that trust between everyone on the team over time. So I think that helped give me perspective on the mistakes that I would make. But I mean, if it was something big or something that I knew I was better than that, I shouldn't have done not just something small. I'm like, I'm I'm a better pilot than what I just showed or I'm a better officer or teammate or whatever.
