And how did that go for you?

larry this conversation is so near and dear to my heart because like many others i ended up transitioning out of the military in 2020 and that was the peak of covid um so it was in that time one i was being medically retired.

And two, there wasn't as many opportunities or options for me, or really for anyone during that time, right? Because I mean, the entire government was shut down.

But I wasn't able to participate in a skill bridge or opportunities like that.

And You know, looking back, everything worked out the way it was supposed to, but I remember it in that moment feeling really isolated and alone during that transition out.

I feel like I got, as soon as I got my decision letter for medical retirement, it was honestly within four weeks that I was out of the military.

So I had like back-to-back appointments and then I was gone.

And at what point does it really hit you as to how important their mission is?
