They have to practice relentlessly and plan out all the scenarios of the things that could happen when they're out there. Nothing is more important than preparation. They are also mighty competitive, both as individuals and as squadrons.

Usually what happens is somebody grabs me and they always pull me off to the side. Nobody ever does it publically. They say, I didn't want to be here. Or, I don't usually like people like you. Or, I didn't believe the things you actually talked about would work. I'm here to tell you that you converted me. That happens a lot.
