What was the, I guess, the ultimate decision-making process for retiring slash getting out?

You either meet the standard or you don't.

I don't want to be the weak link.

I did all those things and I had an opportunity to go back to some cured organizations.

There were some offers in D.C.

And then there was an opportunity to jump into the regular SF and compete for

Sergeant Major.

I was like, all right, fine, we'll figure this out.

So I took over as the first sergeant in the 18 Delta Committee in the course, right?

So I've got all these students, inherently stressful job, but it was probably one of the coolest things I ever experienced. Imagine being a student coming through there and you have a one-legged green beret, 18 Delta, who's in charge is the senior NCO here. And that dude's out there still smoking everybody, right?
