I thought this was great story share. Many times once someone is diagnosed with an disease or deficiency, we as a society and as a Military tend to write those people off.

This Army Ranger has ALS — but he’s still teaching soldiers in the swamps of Florida

'Rangers is a brotherhood that I’ve tapped back into, and they’ve given me a sense of purpose,' he said.

He was mentioned in an article about the two women going through swamp phase at Eglin. He said that he couldn't keep up with them.

Capt Seid Waddell, I'm just glad to see that he didn't just pack it in because of the ALS. He motivates me and I know that he is definitely motivating anyone with ALS or similar disorder.

Awesome guy. Very uplifting to talk to while going through the course. Never met a more positive person in my life.
