I think I've had two really rewarding experiences.
One was when I was young, I was 23 in the Navy
and my ship was deployed outside of Syria
when the chemical weapons,
when Syria had chemical weapons against Syrian citizens.
And that's a red line for the United States.
And my ship happened to be the one
that was deployed already there.
We were the first ones that came out.
And they call it Operation Numbul Warning,
which was a pretty cool name,
but we were in combat 20 hours a day.
We had this team and that team was always on call.
We were pretty much sleeping there
and getting ready to shoot, right?
And we were kind of in a, you could say a battle zone.
We knew kind of what was going on in the arena.
And that was a pretty rewarding experience
because I was a strike-off on the ship
and you're under a lot of pressure
and you need to act and make decisions
under a lot of pressure.
And this is pressure for like 25 minutes.
