[quote:Rising Son:MV8yMTAzNTM0XzM1NTAyODczX0NGNEJGODBC] [quote:Blue Skies:MV8yMTAzNTM0XzM1NTAyNzcyX0IzMTA4RkEw] [quote:Rising Son:MV8yMTAzNTM0XzM1NTAyMDQwXzczN0NBQkNB] [quote:IAMIAM:MV8yMTAzNTM0XzM1NTAwNDEyXzREMDU1RUY0] [quote:Rising Son:MV8yMTAzNTM0XzM1NTAwMzgzX0VFOEZDM0FF] I saw that you did 12 years, were you a SSgt or GySgt when you got out? [/quote] SSgt selected for GySgt, and it was 14 years. But that was another life ago, and I have already told the story of that life in my previous book. It really is a fun little treasure hunt. If your interested, you might consider going down the ole rabbit hole. [/quote] I too have spent some considerable time in the Marine Corps. I enlisted in 2000 and worked on the aviation side as an Operations Specialist. I mostly spent my time with MWSS-272 in New River from 2001 to 2004, during which I deployed with them to Kuwait in support of Operations Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom in 2003. I was accepted to a commissioning program in 2004, attended college, and was commissioned as a Lieutenant in 2007. I am now a Captain, stationed in Okinawa, Japan - awaiting to be discharged in the near future, possibly as soon as the end of this month or next month. The Marine Corps has been very educational for me, as I have traveled many places, met a great number of amazing people, and have tried very hard to improve myself. With that being said, this has been the most stressful 12 years of my life, and it has taken it's toll on my wife and children. It is no secret that the military is no place to try and raise a family, and if there are those who manage to be successful at it, they are much better and stronger than I have been. Thankfully, I still have my wife and kids with me by my side, and my wife has been one of the most amazing women I have ever met to withstand the enormous amount of stress and turmoil throughout these many years and stay by my side. I do not know what awaits me in the civilian sector, but I fear nothing with my family by my side, and love and my heavenly Father within my heart :-) [/quote] Sounds like you learned a lot through the years. Also you having a understanding wife to live through this with you is a blessing. Hope you find everything you desire in civilian life :) [/quote] Thank you so much, and you are correct - my wife is an amazing woman, I do not know what I did to deserve someone so incredible. She has truly sustained me, and I am lucky to have her. Thank you for your kind words, I wish the best for you as well :-) [/quote]

You enter into a Great and Magnificent Hall lined with alabaster pillars which line the way to a great throne before you. A brilliant light illuminates the throne and it is the light of the unseen unheard observer. It is this light which you know will be judging you this day.
As you approach the throne, I AM standing there waiting for your arrival.
Once you are I to I, I give you this riddle:
Before the unseen observer I swear this day,
That one of us standing here is the Truth.
I say this Man is the Truth before the Heavenly throne.
Now tell me my friend.
Am I a liar or the truth?
