Eric, if you want to know how they train you, google "Hell week at Coronado"...... Not only that you don't get to sleep, you are worked to death, humiliated and live in fear that you don't make the team. You make it through that, you make it through anything. I only have one regret in my life. I wish I was young again so I can do it again.

My girls went through high school and now finishing college and oly have seen me on weekends (it feels like we are a single parent family with my wife pulling the load). Sometimes I do go home for 6 weeks at the time....... But we have to make a living, pay bills and have money fo our beloved Jeeps.....

Being married to the same woman for 30 years brother.... You are absolutely right. The only difference between the Navy and being married is that while in the Navy, I was getting paid for the abuse I got.... When you are married, you get abused ab PAY for it.....LOL.
Guys, it was my duty and my honor to servE our country.

I have never said I have lots of money... I worked for everything I have and made lots of sacrifices for it. I had two little girls and a wife with lots of medical issues over the years. My first duty was to take care of my loved one and make sure that I provided or them. During that time, I couldn't afford toys for my self. When I got out of the Navy I had to go and work to survive.... No time to party, no beer or cigarette money. I went from two packs a day to none in one day... How did I do that?? Choices between feeding my wife and kids or burning money away. I always have chooses the hard over easy. I was trained that way. Now kids are getting out of the medical school this year and my wife and I are trying to make up for the lost time by enjoying OUR SELFES for once. There were times when I was gone for 8 months at the time and my family didn't know where I was or if I was alive. You just packed your bags, give everyone a kiss and told them "see you later on"....

For the last 10 years that I have been traveling like a crazy person and every Friday getting home from the airport and my little girls running to me yelling "daddy, dady, you are home". No money in the world can buy that. Now they are away in college, we lost both our dogs two years ago due to old age( one was 16 and the other 18 ) and it it was just me and my wife so things got sad really quick. Finally we got a new poppy last Christmas and now I have someone else that licks my face when I get home. Bottom line is that we all love our country, we love our personal things, our music and so on but NOTHING comes before our children, wife and family. I can't believe how many of you seem to feel the same. It must be a Jeep thing others don't understand.
Good night my brothers!

So I work for the police department and they have a volunteer program that I participate in. For my job I work in the property/evidence office and on volunteer I go on patrol and assist the officers with calls. Tonight one of the calls I went on was a stray horse on the rail road tracks. There was a train waiting to take off from the rail yard and I was able to go up inside the locomotive and see what it looked like. It isn't too exciting but I am like a little kid when it comes to things like that.

Trains and locomotives are always cool. I like the two pictures. Locomotives have a style of their own.
