Yeah.
Between the companies and that sort of thing.
But it was all to me.
to try to get us to strive to be better.
Our sole focus was meeting or exceeding the customer's expectations.
We knew more than any organization I'd ever been a part of in my life.
And of course I was still fairly young, but
The focus was on the mission and on the customer's mission, and we would do anything to make sure we were going to fill that need for that customer.
Who was your customer?
Delta, SEAL Team 6, Rangers, Air Force Special Tactics.
MARSOC didn't exist at the time.
And that was pretty much it.
I mean, we rotate among those three entities.
Yes.
Well, I think it was primarily driven by the customer's training requirements.
You know, we'd have our own where we would do things just for us.
But let's say, you know, ST6 needs to do a ship takedown with a HAF, you know, a Helios Alt Force and a BAF.
then they're gonna reach out to us and say, we need whatever, four, six Blackhawks, four Little Birds for this training period at this time.
And then, you know, we always had a standby mission, so we've got to keep that
intact because there's a rapid response standby capability that is there 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
