"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."

Inevitable
It was bound to happen. Anyone for a week delay in country? What more can I say?
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."
