Was there ever a time in the military when, even for a moment, you were truly scared? You may have overcome it, but in that moment you felt real fear. Yet you are here to tell the tale so you did something right! Willing to share about that moment?

I had just gotten married to my beautiful wife before being deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan. God protected me and allowed me to come back home. I was very scared leaving her not knowing that I might not come back but I had to remain strong for her. I now have a two year old daughter and a baby boy on the way!

My first fear was when I jumped off a crane with a bungee cord strapped to only my ankle and it was a Friday the 13th. South Padre Island. I was National Guard and signed the wavier without reading the fine print. Needless to say Fear was conquered although I can't say much for the lack of thought.

I was being transferred from An Khe to Pleiku (Artillery Hill) on a V100. I was sitting on top of the vehicle when we ran into an ambush. I didn't have a weapon and was so happy when we got out of the zone.

On the way to process out of Nam. 3 or 4 days left in the Army. Flying south in a C130 we force landed at
Pleiku. The typoon had us all praying and hanging on. It rains rains inside of a C130 through the rivets and seams of the fuselage.
