Original text

Of course, you get senior-level military people who I know come to it from a little bit of an elitist standpoint, perhaps, and maybe a little more of a political standpoint because as I talk about in my novels, not all the time, but sometimes when you hit certain ranks you're thinking about making that next one. And then when you get even higher up, you're thinking about where you're going to go after that and what boards you're going to sit on and actions you can take today to set you up for the future. That's a real thing, and in the military, as horrible as it is to say, as long as you don't pop positive on a drug test or get a DUI or too many DUIs, maybe.
