"Fear breads a deadening caution, a holding back, a stagnant waiting until people no longer can recall what they are waiting for or saving themselves for. When we fear failure more than we love life; when we are dominated by thoughts of what we might have been rather than by thoughts of what we might become; when we are haunted by the disparity between our ideal self and our real self; when we are tormented by guilt, shame, remorse, and self-condemnation, we deny our faith in the God of love."

Honey, the forbidden has been mixed. I love you. Tell the "Royalty" thanks as well!
Some shots from Kabul. Hope you like them, they impressed me when I took them. I wish you all could get the magnitude of these mountains.
I am glad that you will be getting your fingers dirty before too long. Will be nice to keep the skills up. The land of sushi and saki is aweful hot but has been enjoyable. I return to the US in four days. I have some business to finish up on your care package it is hopefully going to be something all of the GA guys can appreciate!
I never thought I'd say this. "This country sucks! I can't wait to get back to Ft Riley (Kansas)."
Me talking to SGM Allman after watching our puppy, Gator, lick our monkey's(Georgia) bottom. "Look. It's the GA/FL game and the Gators are licking Georgia's butt."
LT Sekula innocently commenting about a man whipping his donkey. "Oh ya, smack that ass." Seriously, he didn't even realize what he said until he saw me crying.
My personal favorite and has been for a while. "Winning hearts and minds, gentlemen, doesn't mean two in the chest and one in the head."
1LT Goddard "Dying would be gay."
SFC Corrigan "Its hot. Subtract 5 degress and that's Hell."
MAJ Berry "Kansas.........damnit."
1LT McCall "Hey. You wanna to see a picture of me on my tractor?" "Have I ever told you about......"
1LT McCall "It's another great day to be an American soldier; every day's a holiday, every meal's a feast, every paycheck's a small fortune and every formation's a parade."
