You can't see it.

And we're that far out into the ocean over Cronulla and then jumping out, setting up a boat and coming all the way up the Georges River and doing a hit on the Holsworthy facility.

So I learned a lot with Alpha Company because all their TTPs and slick drills were just from Afghanistan.

So-

That's right.

Yep.

So there's like, say, 15 bears, 15 EW operators at the unit, and then three get put in each company.

So one in the company headquarters position, and then there's two assault platoons.

So if you're a bear, you go into one of those.

Yep.

And I was in Charlie Company.

How were you treated?

So initially, I think one of the first days that we got there, we had the lineup formed up in teams.

your number was called out and the officers went to the front and the officers became the team leader.

So these are infantry officers from an infantry battalion and they're now your team leader.

And, you know, 2IC, demolitions guy, breacher, SIG, all through the teams for selection was actually your position number for that series of events.

It might have been a 48 or 72-hour period.

For some reason, initially, I got put as an officer.

So my 2IC was a senior infantry captain and he was asking me, who are you?

Like, where are you from?
