So I came to recon battalion off the backs of like the Fallujah guys and all this stuff.
And I'm like wanting it so bad.
And they're like, well, you're doing a VBSS mission off of Africa.
So you're like, I missed it all.
The war's over.
And it's just like, it's something we do.
It's like really common.
But I was like, just kept feeling like I'm chasing the dragon.
And if I don't ever get to go there, then it was all for nothing.
So I finally land there in Bastion.
And I'm like, I made it.
You know, at least I'm here at this show, right?
I got a chance.
Who knows what's going to happen?
It's the fighting season.
Chances are I'm going to get to shoot my weapon in anger, right?
But I'm there.
So a little bit of that was like a check in the box for the first time, right?
Where I actually could take a breath and say, okay, I made it here now.
Yep.
