But, um, really, what, uh, w-what-- why did you wanna do this? You know, what led you from your career into wanting to do and be the first warrant officer back here in the Minnesota Air National Guard?

Right.

Yeah, it's kind of a weird, um, story, I guess.

I was active duty for 10 years, like you mentioned.

Got to the 210th here in the Minnesota National Guard.

Um, had put on E-6 active, but couldn't sew on, so...

And then got here, and it was a process to put on E-6 again, basically.

Um, how has that process really been? I mean, um, the-- were your expectations met? Were-- Did you really have a good idea of really what it was gonna be like, and, and are you really at a point now where you feel like your skill set is really being utilized to its pu- full potential?
