One more thing, Mr. Gregory....We have several young men who have gone on to great things....guys like you who came here and were lost, confused, some were overweight, maybe underweight, but they learned. They took their beatings here, they listened, and they learned. They worked hard and kept their eyes on the prize. Some had medical or life issue that stood in the way. They overcame these or changed their plans, but they stayed with it and kept working.
On a narcissistic level as a guy whose prime is behind him, I want to believe that everytime one of those "kids" dons a beret, a scroll, a tab, some wings, enlists, deploys for the first time, takes a life, saves a life, drives a truck, packs a chute, whatever they are doing....I want to believe I somehow helped them to be there. Some word of wisdom, motivation, tough love, maybe a historical tidbit I posted or a story I linked to. To me, it doesn't matter as long as I helped that guy or gal go to, and stay in, the fight.
That matters to me and is one reason I'm here and I think our long term members will agree.
So, what you chose to do with our little corner of the Internet is up to you. We'll help you or hurt you...and we've done both over the years (more help than hurt I'm proud to say).
With that said, it's on all you now; Ball's in your court.
Good luck.
