talk about some failures in planning leadership and how you built back up yeah we didn’t we had none of that everything went perfect you know one of the things that i think i’m gonna and i guess is really a failure but we would often times make a decision and then in a day or in a week decide yeah that wasn’t a good call you know something else and i think a good example of that is how we kind of task organized and we split up into different groups and be like okay you guys are running this area you guys are in this area and then like two weeks later actually no this area is not good we’re gonna move you guys join them back together i i always felt like everybody especially us in the leadership you know we were all like okay cool yeah we just made a mistake we just move on not even a mistake but you gotta change you gotta adapt yeah you gotta you gotta morph into something it’s like if you’re doing unilateral ops then it’s kind of a no-brainer if you go over there and all of a sudden you know all you you’re working by yourself boom boom doing your missions great but if you work in split forces and you’re training indigenous forces and you’re doing that you have to have these you know you have to it’s not always easy to adjust for because like there’s a world of difference between iraq and afghanistan like a world of difference i mean it’s all kind of the same but stuff i did in iraq i didn’t do in afghanistan you know and vice versa like whoa we can’t do that you know and even even stuff like the weather you know we’re talking you know all of a sudden it’s snowing you know and then the terrain like people think iraq’s all desert i mean there was some places they were like in the jungle it’s like we were in nam you know or cambodia christ’s sakes and like well you know okay we’re gonna walk how many clicks yeah well when you’re up to your waist and mud you know all of a sudden that time frame is totally off because we didn’t you know made a mistake i didn’t really really read the terrain yep you know and ask about it and see who’s been up there before and [ __ ] but yeah but we just adapt and overcome exactly i think that’s the biggest thing learn from your mistakes yeah when it comes to failure it’s just okay now yeah yeah good okay let’s let’s adapt and move on
