But yeah, that's how I met Prime.

Right on, right on.

everything you think you want to do how is it yeah these guys were tacticians man tacticians they eat slept and breathed this job and i think one thing i struggled with in the beginning was that imposter syndrome stuff so i always kind of kept one foot out even subconsciously because i felt like any minute they were gonna it was just it wasn't gonna work for me

And I'm starting here and I'm working with these guys that are true professionals.

And I couldn't continue going that direction with it.

I was like, dude, I got to be all in if I'm going to be able to keep up.

And these guys knew because there had been so many friends, so many people at that battalion that had passed at war.

And if it wasn't at war, it was the green on blue type situation that you've heard of so much.

You had a lot of people getting chewed up the seasons prior to that.

And it was like, dude, you had to lock in.

You had to lock in.

You had to be a professional.

And that's when I really started to see that.

Whereas like even me deep down inside, I'm like, I got to take this seriously.

Whatever I've been doing to get by, like this is not going to be sustainable and I need to lock in and really become a professional with this stuff because the consequences are so great now.

Right.

Relieved.

Relieved.

Yeah, relieved, man, because, you know, you come in, the thing about the military, especially if you come in wanting to go into special operations, is you want to deploy, you want to go to war.

And it feels like every day in the military that you're not deploying, it's slipping between your fingers.
