So I find out about the unit and I'm thinking, you know, I read Tom Clancy books.

And it did, you know, I was like, I'd love to do that.
And I go to Fort Campbell and
I'm assigned to the 101st.
What year is this?
88.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it was still in its early stages of development.
Again, I don't know how this works.
So I sign in when I get to Fort Campbell, sign in the 101st.
And then I go to the bunker.
You know, it's this clandestine looking place that no one would know was even there.
And I go talk to the recruiter for the 160th and said, hey, I'd like to assess.
And he says, okay, so what's your status?
I said, well, I just signed in the 101st.
He said, I mean, we could go to bat for you and try to get you out of that.
But to us, you're not that valuable because, yeah, you got a fair amount of flight time.
