 I'm Nick Brophy, the Director of DAV, Patriot Boot Camp, and I'm here with two of our boot campers, if you will, Joe and Kelly Thompson. Tell us, Joe, Kelly. First of all, how is it so far? That's fantastic. I'm completely blown away by the size and scope of this place, and everything that's been given to us so far is unbelievable. I can't think of everybody enough. Good. Kelly, anything you want to add? We're surrounded with subject matter experts, and I've already learned so much. I'm grateful to be here. And they're very attentive too. That's probably the most I've heard them say since they've been here because they've been taking copious notes. But we want to learn a little bit about you all on the DAV. I'm sure the DAV family wants to learn a little bit about you. So a couple questions here. Military service. Both of you are veterans. Can you tell us a little bit about your service, where you served, the years, what branch, and then what kind of jobs you were doing? Kelly? Sure. So I was active duty in the Navy station in San Diego. I did five years of service, got out in 2017, and I worked in the supply department. Excellent. Same thing, 2011, 2015. Four years Marine Corps, stationed in Pendleton, right by San Diego. I was a glorified gas pumper, bulk fuel, and it was an awesome four-year stint. Great. And I was four and done. Well, thank you for your service and one veteran to the next. So how did you guys get connected with us? So when she goes to bed, I usually can't sleep. So I was just typing online business ideas, like business help, and just going down a rabbit hole. And then I just wound up typing in veteran. And then I saw Patriot Boot Camp and I was like, that is exactly what I'm looking for and what the DAV provided and the registration and everything. It was just exactly what I was looking for. Yeah. We're always looking for resources, especially to help us as veterans. I feel like that's a unique niche for business owners and entrepreneurs. And this was perfectly fit the criteria. Great. And for those of you out there in social media land, it's interesting that these two actually applied with two separate businesses and have, I think, combined forces since that application process, right? And what's the name of your business now that you both are working together on? Yeah. We are Ethos Administrative Group. So we're a virtual assistant service for businesses. Awesome. All right. So why do you think veterans make good entrepreneurs? Definitely, persistency. We refuse to fail. And if we do fail, we're going to pivot. So, you know, you're going to fall on your face. But, you know, just like a battle mindset, you're not going to lose because, you know, you're used to losing. And if losing is death, we're not dead. So we're going to keep trying until we win. And that's pretty much what separates entrepreneurs that fail and entrepreneurs that don't. It's just keep going until it works. Spoken like a true warrior, Kelly. Yeah, you know, we're committed to excellence. So we want to provide that for our clients and, you know, internally as well. And I think that's something that we have been, you know, establishing since we started. Yeah, good. All right. Well, as a married couple, and I think our only married couple of this particular cohort, tell us about something that you may have learned about the other, whether that's with regard to business. It's always interesting to hear that we're learning about one another all the time. I would say this definitely heightened a little bit more of the mindset that we both have when it comes to business specifically. She has a whole different outlook on everything business wise than I do. So when we both take in separate notes over and over, then we combine them together. Say, like after the fact, it's just an explosion of like ideas that come together and something that I would never imagine like if we weren't here specifically. Yeah, you know, we also are parents of three, so we combine forces at home and it's a whole nother specialty when you combine forces in the workplace and really using our strengths and weaknesses, you know, with each other and it's been great. Good. Sounds like a nice complimentary group. Well, I know we still have a little bit left in the rest of the program. I don't want to take you too much removed from that, but I appreciate all of your time. Thank you all both for being here and trusting in DAV Patriot Boot Camp to lead you into the future. Thank you.
