John ByrnesGUEST
And then the rest of the day was kinda what you just described, right? Like, what do we do next? Uh, so in the military, we have formations, and we have, you know, what we call hurry up and wait.

John ByrnesGUEST
And as new leadership kept coming into the armory, and as I said, there were sister companies there.

John ByrnesGUEST
Not everybody was from the same chain of command until really, um, until you got to, like, the governor level for state operations.

John ByrnesGUEST
Uh, we kinda kept mixing and matching as a new leader would come in with seniority.

John ByrnesGUEST
Want a head count, uh, want a, you know, want to task organize and see, see what he had in terms of platoon sizes.
