I gave them high marks.

I mean, everything they did, although the scenario is probably different.

It was structured more around, at the time, more of a Vietnam scenario, which doesn't really happen anymore.

But all the fundamental stuff that they taught worked.

And again, it's kind of sensitive, so we won't get too much into it.

But the resistance stuff is kind of common sense, right?

It's basically given meaningless information.

And one thing that helped me was,

they didn't have a clue what my rank was.

They wanted to know,

And again, it's on my name tag, right?

So there's no issue telling them what my rank is.

And it's the big four anyway, right?

Even if you try to be hardcore, it'd be big four, nothing more.

You know, rank is one of them.

So I'm wasting a lot of time with these guys trying to explain what, at the time I was a CW3, trying to explain what a CW3 is.

And I went like, I went private, sergeant,

Warrant officer, lieutenant, captain, you know, basically that fundamental, right?

Showing we sort of sit somewhere in the middle.

And they're like, I don't know what the heck you're talking about.
