Hey if not for that little girl that needs you so bad, I would hook you up with some weekend warrior shit. I have to say Mike, having met and talked for so long, I think what you have done is much more difficult and courageous than anything I did in the military. Hell most stuff in the Army you do because you don't want to look like a pussy. You have to wake up and do it yourself every day, and for that I have all the respect in the world for you man.

I really regret not having the experience. I am one of the few men in my family not to have some military background. Even my little brother is in the Coast Guard. It is weird at parties, when everyone else has some story and I don't really know what they are talking about.

I didn't meet the physical requirements until I was 23. I was always underweight, or they weren't taking GEDs or some such. It was a long process. Almost didn't get there even after I was signed up. I got hurt in infantry school. Split a bone in my foot. One of my drills convinced me that I was ok to go to jump school. He had me do 14 laps around the half mile track while holding 2 5 gallon jugs of water. I know it sounds crazy but in that one act he did more for me than I could ever say.
