SGM (Join to see), asked the question "What is your purpose." This is a follow up to that question.
In everything you have done in your life, the places you've seen, the people you have met, has there ever been a time where you've looked into the mirror and saw the person you know you were meant to be? Or failing that, looked at your journey and gone, "I may not be that person yet or even know who they are, but this is the road, the journey, that will take me to the person I am meant to be."
At the end of your journey, when you meet the person you were meant to be, will you be their equal, greater or lesser?

CW2 Joseph Evans, this is yet another excellent question. You seem to have a knack. I'm still working towards the me that I want to be.
Just recently I had an epiphany regarding discipline. I have always considered myself to be a disciplined person. Remember Senator Tower saying he was a "man of some discipline" back when he was being considered for Secretary of Defense? (http://articles.latimes.com/1989-02-01/news/mn-1438_1_tower-s-nomination)
Along that vein, when I really take a look at things in my life, I realize there is so much room to tighten things up that I'm not even close to where I want to be. And I'm not talking about being a nut about discipline; I'm talking about being a reasonably disciplined person is as many facets of my life as possible, including things we all learned in the military -- my area, my fitness routine, my diet, and on and on and on.
Much of what I have on my mind regarding discipline - and would like to improve - are things that the casual observer (co-worker, friend, etc.) would not even notice, but I know what's "going on" in my life and I still have plenty of room for improvement and changes to make.

Agreed, I see daily issues that require me to "tighten up my shot group". I've allowed a few too many things to get out of hand since I've separated. I'm hoping that finding focus in one part of my life again can help bring other areas into focus as well.

When you're young, everything you do is about bettering yourself. Then you have kids, and everything you do is about bettering them.

Being part of that crew that delivers "fire from heaven" upon the evil, is something I can respect. May you never have reason to doubt your cause.
Until the day you are no longer needed. :D
