When I was in the army, I interviewed at 18 Delta, to be in 18 Delta,

at fifth group at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and I wanted to go Sears and go to DLI because I spoke

five languages. So they said, you're going to go to, you know, Fort O. That's where the DLI was back

in the days. You know, they called it, what was it called, the planet or something like that, right? I think it was in Carmel.

And so the orders come back. I decide to get out. He gets the orders. He leaves. He ends up

becoming Delta for 12 years, loves it, the operations, all this stuff. I don't talk to him for

many years. I thought something happened to him. Finally, we link up. He tells me what's going on. I said, let's meet up. We go to Madrid. We meet at El Classico, soccer match between

Messi and Ronaldo. And I think at the time when I met him, he was on his third marriage. What is it

with this occupation that makes it so difficult to keep your marriage intact.

You can take that one unless you'll mean to surrender.

I barely squeak by.

I mean, I think the schedule is super challenging.

Normally, you're gone at least 300 days a year.

Over, probably.

We're terrible at communicating. great at bottling everything up.

In town, long enough to get in a fight, then go out of town, forget about it.

In town long enough to get into a fight with your wife and then you leave.

Yeah.

Yeah, so you never settle anything.

And you just kind of rinse and repeat.

And I think, again, the schedule schedule our entire time in the military was all war.

So you're losing friends, that kind of stress.
