And...

Again, positive sign that problem solving, thinking about the future and how to learn from this, leverage what I know.

You wrote all this in there.

Yeah, and no one else can read it.

I'm the only one that's made up.

I made up symbols and abbreviations and stuff that only I can decipher.

So if they did discover that I was writing it, they wouldn't know what the heck it said.

And then the last thing I brought, truth stranger than fiction, is I get a call from a guy who says that there's a Somali that wants to meet with me.

This is after I'm back and partially recovered.

And I'm like, hmm, not sure I'm really up for that.

So I went and talked to our intel officer.

I stayed in the unit eight more years.

And

I asked him, I said, what do you think I ought to do?

And he said, your call.

If you want to meet with him, go ahead.

You know what's classified, what's not.

I'm like, man, that seems kind of loose, but okay.

So I told him I'd meet him in Nashville, actually.

And, you know, again, I'm not trained on this stuff, but it seems pretty logical.
