You said in one of the interviews that you did right away that you are glad that you responded the way that you did, that you went right into that line of fire and you stopped them and knocked them down with Kendrick and Josh. How does that feel now that you have been through boot camp? I think for a lot of people that hope of -- let's be honest, a lot of people have ideas especially students like what if it happens in my school? What -- somebody walks in with a gun, right? And everybody is like, I honestly hope and picture myself acting heroically. And in my case and for Kendrick's case and for Josh's case, that brings about a new level throughout life where you are no longer questioning what will I do? It's I now know how I will act. And with that comes kind of level with a level of responsibility now but a type of weight is taken off your shoulders. You are now clear on, OK, now I have the confidence to know how I will respond in a situation like this again. Good for you. And you responded amazingly. And heroically. How was boot camp and how do you like being a marine and tell us what's ahead for you? Well, boot camp was boot camp. It wasn't bad at all. It wasn't? There were ups and downs. Yeah. You know, it was boot camp. It's something new that every single person, I mean, you have to be there to really go through it.
I mean, it's hard to explain. It's a hard thing to explain. But, to all the police out there who are for the Marine Corps, everybody who's never been in the military, their family has never been in the military, it's something very hard to explain that will push you to your limits, you'll make a lot of close brothers. You will meet a lot of awesome people. At the end of the day you will earn that title. It may feel like you won't but you will earn that title. And now that I'm a marine, it feels good. Now, once I've reached the top of that hill, I earned the EGA, right? But now that you have this new perspective this new vantage point you realize well, dang, I got a lot more hills to climb. I got a long way to go and I'm excited for it. Well, we are excited for you too. And we are grateful for your heroic act and all those students who were saved by it are, too. And we, with you, keep Kendrick Castillo's memory alive, he is a hero too -- Absolutely. -- and Josh as well. And we wish you all the best and we thank you very much for making a stop here at "The Story" -- Absolutely. -- as you go on your way. Thank you so much for your service. Good to meet you tonight, Brendan. Thank you very much. Be well. Have a good one. Thank you. You too. Thank you.
