“Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present, but those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential. Without pushing your limits, without occasionally sliding down the rope headfirst, without daring greatly, you will never know what is truly possible in your life.”
― William H. McRaven

I am a Marine and always will be. Listening to the Admiral took me back to Parris Island where the training tested me to the limit and they tried punishing me to test my mettle to see if I had it to be a combat trained Marine. I couldn't do things right at first and they made me do it over and over until I succeeded and got it. After 3 months of terrible mental and physical training I graduated as a Marine. It was the greatest and proudest day of my life and I am still a Marine at age 85.

My husband was a marine and a Navajo. He was proud of all his family that served. My family also represented the best they could be in the Army,Navy and Marines. My dad joined at 17. He felt ashamed that he was home and his brothers were serving overseas. My Grandfather had signed for him to go. I miss him so much. The National Anthem makes me cry every time I hear it. I am so proud of the strong men in my family, and my friends, who also served this country. I love you daddy.

Jennifer lampretch to our boy Killian, current events had led to my conclusion of unknown intelligence agencies collusion in government affairs. Plans to utilize geographic projection of god like will to power, spearheading prophecy as a means of last ditch attempt at government expansionism, Ethier religious, or "National socialist" to flow the water of the state with long unused complexes. The question of the shadow of nationalism apply? Furthermore creation of a demagogue would be established and the organ of the collective psyche smiting any opposing foe. (Complex's are the psychological equivalent of vegetative biological systems ) Possible relatives of royal, masionic, security affairs may currently be involved from the great white north, down to the deep south in Grand strategy's of U.S. cultural domination across much of Nato and the U.N even as far as to say utilizing the new collective consciousness for U.S military deployment into China and possibly Europe marching in on the beat of demagogue. Sleeper cells lay dorment among select families of security related social institutions Fabricated by specifically triggering emotional ques of the "self preservative function" , even so far as creation of new unheard-of unconscious complex's, Hence traumatic advents of violence is utilized in changing behaviour of the sleeper, challenging natural instincts and the sleepers immediate actions. All stages of infant and adolescent trauma programs and adapts action, in recall cases borderline or psychotic tendencies are prevalent. ( big for Jennifer lampretchs satanic ritual abuse ) In cases of extreme early preadolescent trauma, satanic ritual abuse , alien abduction is reported by sleepers and patients. The sleepers possess cardinal traits established to provide accurate results in attaining goals. Mobilization of sleepers is enacted through the use of crude graffiti to be communicated commands for other agents or actors in national or religious state control. Affecting sleepers lives. Mythology and prophecy can be used in cultural and military service doctrine , although complicated to implement, the individual who plays this drum " must be unaware " , awakening to his role ruins authentic behaviour. The long drawn out process allows for unconscious actors to play pianist of the public's inferior function. Once the unconscious actors are in position in the public domain , "the god like will to power" is enacted amongst the populous, it's impact flood long since dormant volcano of cultural complex's across Europe, Russia and China striking the fear of God into the hearts of combatants. These threats of Unite States religious " will to power supremacy" , "global projection "and agents aka actors unconscious "pianist of the demagogue", in the form of an all encompassing "savoir ", is not just isolated to team A or B and split both down the middle. Urgency in addressing, Senate committees and cabinet board of trustees. Remember the Pheonix the publics revolution is the godfathers strength, the four richest families who lurch in the background. Also to Suzanne whom may concern might have been paid in affecting her sons action using serve trauma to the point of self suicide. Causing his awaking.

All liars, fornicators, adulterers, idolaters, blasphemers, whoremongers, thieves, murderers, homosexuals, effeminate, etc, will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Now, being well thankfully,l I still tell Admiral McRaven that "I have made my bed". I hope that he gets to read this and understand that you make a difference.

The center on our high school football team that won the state championship weighed 140 pounds. “It doesn't matter the size of the dog in the fight, rather the size of the fight in the dog.” ― Mark Twain. I expect he had some extra coating from his older brother, Buddy Ryan as well. There is less strain on the shorter bones and the joints on their ends than those of someone taller lifting the same weight due to the shorter lever arm putting less load on the fulcrum (joint) and slightly less bending stress on the shorter bones.

I'm a short guy (5'7"). Not the most physically imposing guy in the world by any means. Used to be really self-conscious about it into my early 20s and probably had a chip on my shoulder about it. Joined the military (Air Force) in a special operations job, and yes we had the bell there. Passed through that somehow and as I was going through I realized the shortest guys had an easier (but not easy) time with the PT. Not sure of the reason, but shorter guys consistently outperformed the taller ones. Later left the military and became a police officer. As one of the shortest guys in the dept., I found its not necessarily your size that commands respect from people, but how you carry yourself and your demeanor in stressful situations. Some may judge you up front as the little guy and write you off or test you a little more, but in my experience you can win their respect within five minutes by just being professional, calm, and respectful. The scariest people I've ever met, in both my police and military work, were shorter guys. Some even shorter than me! Moral is, don't get hung up on your height. It may affect first impressions a little with new people, but its your attitude and demeanor that wins hearts and minds, and after awhile - if you carry yourself right and treat others well - they wont see you as the little guy anymore. And you will stop thinking of yourself that way too.

That’s true man. Now I’m not a racist, but so many people hate others because they are different. Blacks, Asians, Mexicans, Latinos, to name a few. There is so much hate in this world, and not just by race but by social/financial status or because of the way you look physically. Only if people saw the heart of the person instead of what’s in the outside.

Through tears, watching this, I thank God this popped up in my feed, and gave me one more look into the life of a Navy Seal, my Navy Seal. Thank you Admiral McRaven.

@Lakers Forever what are you talking about? Being president of the US is one of the most stressful, demanding and physically aging jobs one can serve, Trump didn't even take a salary his first year in office and these liberal socialists still complain he didn't pay enough taxes! Joe Biden has got to be one of the most racist candidates since the 1800s, saying things like, warning against the "bus riders" program, that it would "turn their schools into jungles" mixing black & White kids... Recently many POC have come to realize how Biden and many Dems, are now and have been, using black people to advance their own agenda, using lies and manipulation through accusations of racism on anyone who opposes their party, or now days, just disagrees with part of there idolatry. They continuously make unachievable promises while pretending to care deeply for and claiming that it's they alone who want to help POC, attempting to create the illusion that they are the friends of, and greatly needed by minorities, and so, falsely seeming the obvious best and only option worth supporting! 😳🤔

I wanted to be a Navy SEAL since I was 8 years old... I trained HARDCORE for 6 years (2 in middle school and 4 in high school). After I started high school, I talked to a Navy recruiter and told them what I wanted to be. They got me in contact with a former SEAL who trained people to get them ready for the Navy's Special Warfare type jobs (SEAL, SWCC, EOD, Etc.) My entire high school "career" was training with this guy, just to me ready. People who trained with him pretty much had a 100% success rate of joining whatever job they wanted. (nobody had failed training if they worked with him). While other kids were partying, I was running miles with a 50-pound rucksack on, swimming miles in the ocean, getting "wet and sandy". After I joined the Navy, I passed the SEAL PST with flying colors and I was on my way to becoming a SEAL... 5 months in, I started having seizures and I was kicked out.... My dreams were CRUSHED. That was (and still is) the only thing I wanted to do in life. Almost 8 years later, I'm still severely depressed from it... Maybe in another lifetime :/
