And I might tell you that when I was on the station in Canada, I had an opportunity to go to a church service with the adjutant and on the way to the church service he asked me if I would like to go overseas. I thought very, very quickly and I said, “Yes!” I wasn’t going to say no to that, there’s an opportunity and I would find a way to tell my parents. Age 20 or so on, 20 or 25, you’re indestructible.
