Gained More Than I Have Lost!

Interviewer: So looking back on the service that you did provide, what did you learn from your experiences?

That’s a big question. We learned a lot I guess. I guess you learn that you can probably do a lot more than you ever think you can do. I remember I think Price was the guy’s last name and he was training us in Wainwright and we were going out on this training exercise and he thought, he’s like, “Oh we are going to be out there five or six days, you’re not going to get any sleep, you know, you’ll get through it!” I was like, ya can’t stay awake for five days! But you figure it out and you drag yourself through it. You get pushed to those limits and I guess that’s something I have always carried with me too, right, you know, I push myself and I think I can’t move forward on something or I can’t work any harder but I always have that voice in the back of my head that’s like oh yes you can, you still got more left, you can push through it. There is a lot of things that you learn but that’s a big one I think. A friend of mine, everything is 50/50 right? You can’t gain without losing and you can’t lose without gaining and I definitely think I have gained as much or more as I’ve lost from anything I’ve done with it.
