And the Again, it's just it's a culture. I'm not trying to batch anything. I'm just saying

it's a culture of drinking. I mean we would drink it we would have a

hail and farewell when we would you know hail in the new people in the unit and we

would say farewell to the the brothers that we deployed with and did great things

and we'd you know hug and cry and say goodbye and stuff like that.

And we'd drink.

You'd go to an intel brief on Friday afternoon and you know talk about what parts of the

world but you know whatever that focus was and you'd leave and you'd be like

and you drink because you realize like how you know close a lot of places are

to become just a dumpster fire but it's just a heavy drinking and it's because as long as you can do your job as long as you don't get a DUI, which I almost did. Yeah, just don't get in trouble. Drink but don't get caught.

So the drinking thing now that went on overseas but and at the base but did that

continue at home?

Yeah, that's so let me clarify.

We I would have my brother bless his heart.

How Alex you so,

Paul to say it, would he would mail me me Listerine in Afghanistan.

You know, he would get like the original Listerine and would put something that was like an alcohol that was that same color and would try to reseal it and what I ended up getting was like super gross tasting tequila and super minty tasting vot like fumplement.

But I would still just have like a night cap or whatever because it was just that's what are you used for barger material

But then you know when you would they started having a stop in in Germany and do like all the you know the team psychovow stuff and all that jazz and before you went

home there was a rash of people coming back from deployment and you know have them going

through struggles and domestic
