Yeah, the same thing.
Two, I didn't really have a dad growing up, right?
So I just considered it camping.
I was like, where is camping?
Like, I thought it was fun.
It's kind of cool to me.
I was like on a field trip.
So how was BRC broken down?
Yeah.
So it's, I mean, I'm sure it's light years different now, but initially you start out kind of learning the basics of like comms.
You do a lot of comms classes.
You do a lot of classes on like land navigation.
So just learning how to hit points.
You're up there in the hills of Camp Pendleton and those hills alone will break you off.
But you start learning the basic fundamentals of patrolling and the reconnaissance tradecraft.
So a lot of the front half is all about that.
It's conditioning, doing all the different quals you need to from the swim quals, et cetera, the pool work, which is where they get a lot of their attrition, as you know.
It's like the water will break the strongest men.
And that usually thins the herd pretty quickly.
And then they'll go into things like land nav.
