[rushes in] Hey babe, I need a favor. I ran into time at the SRPC so I need you to get my will looked over for me, ok? [hands Roxy an envelope and rushes into his room to get something]
[rushes back out] It needs to be done today and...[kisses Roxy before dashing out the door] I gotta get back for equipment inventory and inspection. I love you...
We're gonna tell them tonight. I just wanted them to have as much time as possible without worrying. I still can't believe he's going. Thought I'd be used to it by now.
We all feel so out of place at first here, ma'am, but when you see a PFC, Staff Sergeant, Lieutenant Colonel all trying to relearn how to tie their shoes, you realize TBI is a great equalizer.
When I was 25 I went to Ranger School. A nine-week combat leadership course. Intense physical challenges. Not enough food, not enough sleep. Twenty mile marches with sixty pounds on your back.
Yeah. Got to a point where my feet throbbed so badly, all I wanted to do was sit down and take off my boots. But I knew if I did that, I'd never get them back on again. So I pushed through, because more than anything, I wanted to be a Ranger. That's what I wanted. And my question is, what do you want? I thought it was to play Division 1 hockey. If that's not true anymore, that's fine. I won't be disappointed. I won't love you any less. But it is true, if you still cherish that dream, I don't want you wondering five years from now if you could've gone all the way if you had only pushed yourself a little harder. You have got all sorts of strength inside of you.
