“And he ended up down the road, he was a Master Chief on freaking Neptune's Spear in the Bin Laden up. He's always trying to get back to freaking big guy. I'm trying to get back to the blue, you know what I mean? And I can't right now. And I'm like, dude, wait, you're freaking flying an airplane? Like you're a team guy pilot right now, flying me to freaking Memphis.”

“Just compartmentalize it, stay busy, stay busy. I like shooting, you know what I mean? I'm in a car, a motorcycle. That's what I do. When I would come back from my deployments, shoot, I rebuilt a 93 Mustang in my garage. That was the way I dealt with it. I got back from my first pump in Afghanistan, go out in the garage, work in the car, and motorcycles.”

“It's all over when somebody's got your balls in their hand and they're twisting, man, and you're getting tied up or zip-tied and getting dragged out, freaking shaving your balls, hot sauce on the balls, getting hit with paddles. Yeah, it was... It's stupid, right?”

“I wanted to be a SEAL since I was 10 Like 1982 when I saw the first Rambo movie. But yeah, when I was in middle school, like, Jay, what do you want to do when you grow up? I said, I want to join the Navy. Nobody knew in the 80s what the Freak of SEAL was, till like 1990 when, well, when Marcinko wrote the book, Rogue Warrior or whatever.”

“And then one night that March 4th, the anniversary just passed. That was, yeah, when Neil and his team was slabby, a couple other guys, that's when they inserted and got lit up, and where Fifi fell off and ended up dying. We helped out a lot. We did, I mean, we supported, you know, the big movement with TF Mountain and whatever, the hundred, yeah, those guys.”

“So I see a great doctor in Savannah, Georgia. He has me go through everything. I go through all the testing, smoke it. I mean, my brain is like fried going through the neuropsych testing, and then I end up answering questions to a bunch of other guys that are disabled vets, that are pilots that are going through the same thing.”

“He was a humble guy that didn't think he knew everything all the time. And if he had any, that's like who I wanted to be like. We respected him. He was a hard worker. He led by example, but he wasn't hard headed. Right. He was just, hey, if he had a quest, he wasn't afraid to ask a question. He wasn't afraid to delegate other people that he knew were better at certain things that he wasn't.”
