“… 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.
No "kiss2" but will this one due-
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
Have a safe trip, D... and dillo, nice to see you back!
Blessed be Your name, when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be," blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be Your name!
I'm here at Fort Belvoir, Virginia...start school tomorrow.

Day one is "In the books"
The class took a 'diagnostic' test today; to help the instructors guage where the class is. I was the first one finished (generally am, with tests) - I had to guess on a number of questions....some I had to reason-out by looking closely at what was being asked; sometimes looking ahead to find if SOME answers were a part of other questions...anywho, I scored a whopping 42%
While taking the test I was thinking "I am SO screwed...I really shouldn't even BE in this class - everyone else seems so..professional and junk."
So - after I saw the 42%, the instructor told me not to worry, because, generally EVERY class has an average (as a whole) of exactly 42% on the diagnostic.
Made me feel better.
Made me feel EVEN better when chatting with a Colonel who told me HE got 30%!
btw - our class average? 40%.
Woot! The test and results did a LOT to help me feel like this class will be aight. Made me feel like I can DO this stuff...Still odd to get this class surrounded by MAJ's, LTCs, a COL, several a number of GS13s, and one 15.
