What's the attrition rate?

It's pretty high.

I don't know what the number is, but yeah, it's pretty high.

Did it ever get...

Yeah, I never thought I was going to quit, but...

patrol phase, like I remember being so sleep-depped that I remember them trying to ask me what I was gonna do.

And I remember being like, uh-oh, like my brain's not working and I very well could screw this up right now.

That was the only point.

All the testing and stuff like that was pretty easy.

Like land now was easy for me, but yeah, in there I was so tired by like day four.

And I remember them asking me and I felt like I should know the answers, but I don't know how I made it through, but I did.

But yeah, that was the only point in that whole process where I was like, dude, I might not make it through this because...

Like if I go one more day without sleep, I'm going to be worthless.

And yeah, but everything else seemed to work out.

So what happens at the completion of BRC?

Yep.

So at the completion of BRC, for the recon side of the house, you're technically, you get awarded the recon NEC or MOS.

But for us SARCs, we don't get anything.

It's just another school and you don't get awarded yours to the end.

So what oftentimes happens, if you got follow-on orders, so say luck of the draw that all the schools matched up, maybe you'll go to basic airborne first.
