05:44:04.9
CAM-2 yeah howdy, like yeah, yeah * and then I kept thinking about it....
I guess, when I'm, I'm deciding on making a major decision, if it
doesn't feel right in my gut. or if I don't have a little voice, if it's
starts talking to me and I'm like I need to re-evaluate.
05:44:29.5

CAM-2 yeah, they fly you if they can up to a hundred hours ** they have
triple sevens *. like for you with the kids, you'd get a housing allowance
