Great article Stan. Yes the only way we can possibly hope to change the world is to change our actions!!!

If we would give as much understanding to others as we expect to get from them, this would be a wonderful time to live in.

You do such an outstanding job with your writing, I am glad you are sticking with it. Yes, 66 weeks is commendable. Keep it up!

Impressive Stan.

Also, How do you know that Stan served as a U.S. Army paratrooper without Stan telling you he served in the Army?

"fourth point of contact"

less so, but still an indicative statement..."wrapped around the axle"

Love it.

Hahah i was a dirty leg unfortunately BUT most of the dudes in my guard unit were former 82nd and my uncle retired as an LTC from 82nd so I guess I picked it up. I was a 13M - MLRS field artillery and then later did convoy security and 88m stuff (although didn’t take the MOS)

Balls of feet, calf, thigh, buttocks, pull-up muscle… in the words of the JumpMaster teaching parachute landing falls. 😉
