There's a lot of like character building that they do.

the week and they weed out the week and all elements that you can think of, whether it's physical, whether it's psychological, they try to just let you know, hey, listen, there's going to be a lot of people that are going to test your character.

And we're trying to build this from start to finish.

And I kind of had that already from TSA, even though it wasn't in that type of element, because I would see people go on vacation or people go to a major city with their loved one.

It was a different element of people.

This was people that you're restricting their freedom.

This is serial gang members, the worst of the worst.

And it's like, OK, you know, I come from an element in New York City where this stuff is around me, even though I bobbed and weaved it as much as I have.

You're going to see a lot of people around you that aren't going to want to come back after this.

This is the reality.

This is like, okay, we've spoken enough about this place.

Let's get to it.

But we get there, and it's not my first time.
