Right, so me, I had already gone to basic airborne.

Cause when I checked into first recon, we had a competition where the HM1 that was there told the Marines, he said, hey, I'm not signing any more basic airborne nominations to go to school unless you let some of my corpsmen go.

And the Marine said, okay, fair enough, doc.

He said, how about this?

If they show up on Friday at zero four in the morning and they beat my Marines for their spots, I'll give it to them.

So he told me, he told me and Rodney and another dude, he's like, hey guys, be there zero four on Friday.

Don't be late.

And we ended up beating the Marines.

So we got to go to basic, basic airborne before we even went to BRC.

Nice.

Nice.

Yep.

So I had a gap there.

So I ended up going back to first recon and kind of working.

As a BRC grad, you got a little bit more clout now.

You're not running around with a rope on.

You're not getting bullied anymore.

And you kind of wait for your next schools, which my next school was going to be 18 Delta in Fort Bragg.

Yeah, they do it in the School of Infantry kind of auditorium.

So it's like you're at the School of Infantry.
