I spent 15 years in the military, so I had a lot of different leadership roles and experiences.
One of them is during the summer, we had a performance drill team. So drill is military
marching with weapons. And so you have a lot of really interesting ones in the US, the Marine
Corps one is phenomenal. So we were trying to emulate that. We hadn't really done it before.
So I was in charge of that team to build it out. So it was pretty cool because it was very creative.
I'm a creative guy. I had a great group of troops, but we were getting run ragged. We were being
tasked to do all kinds of extra stuff. My guys weren't getting enough rest. We were traveling
around the country. It was getting rough. So I started getting a little bit prickly and pushing
back on my leadership saying, we're not going to do this anymore. And we'd be ordered to do some
stuff. And I just said, no, we're not. And so the relationship became really contentious
to the point where I got dragged into it in office.
