I mean, Leif tells the story, [laughs] speaking of Marines, the first time we went out on patrol with Marines.

Like, Leif was gonna die, not from enemy contact, but because he had brought enough ammunition and weaponry for World War III, and he was just completely overloaded with weight.

Yeah.

And, uh, you know, he...

The Marines are running from, you know, from cover to cover out there, cover to cover, cover to cover to cover to cover, and he's running [laughs] from cover to cover and from cover to cover and from cover to cover, and he's [laughs] going kids...

Yeah.

So then you go, "Okay, I can get rid of this.

I can streamline this.

Try something out.
