    Default 15 year Anniversary

    6 May 1992 I entered Basic Training. Had I stayed IN, I'd be 5 years from Retirement.

    It's been a QUICK 15 years, I suppose. No regrets though.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    I'm closing in on 24 yrs for my military sahved head and first steps on the yellow footprints.....glad I served, and also glad that I did not stay in for 20+....

    Thanks to all that served.

    On a side note, I have been asked to be a Blue Star Escort at Rolling Thunder over Memeorial Day weekend in Washington DC. I will have the privilege to escort a mother, wife daughter or son on the back of my motorcycle during the Memorial Ride that goes from the Pentagon parking lot to the Vietnam Memorial Wall. I expect over 400,000
