I can see why many love the military life. It is so challenging and demanding! But the satisfaction at the end must be tremendous too. If only we could all push ourselves with such SELF-discipline, all vocations could have that same feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction.(Or is the 85% fail rate part of the satisfaction quotient?) There are enemies to be defeated all around us all the time, but we grow used to them, familiar and comfortable. If we could only harness the urgency of battle.... <br /><br />Sorry. I got a little carried away. Congratulations, Elliott! and Becca, you share in that too.Aunt Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557057168080905698.post-31554376070220282982012-09-25T18:48:03.390-05:002012-09-25T18:48:03.390-05:00what a winner!!!what a winner!!!Autumnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557057168080905698.post-26908596936914803112012-09-25T16:37:48.396-05:002012-09-25T16:37:48.396-05:00It's true...
