Great man. Interviewer could be a little more personable. Sounds like a teenage robot just reading question after question off of a script.

Mask nope

When she asks do you have any questions for me I would have asked her her age for the record

Keep up the good work, please.

Jim Sheets was my baseball coach and American History teacher at Benzie Central. Fond memories of those days…

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview, but watching it after the fact I can think of many things I wish I'd said. I served very close to two major tragedies in my life...the kind of events that everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they heard about them. When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, I was the primary USAF network controller for the mission. Launching rockets to put satellites in orbit was a very exciting job for a young lieutenant, but that tragedy was a very difficult thing to work through. It left me with a sobering sense of duty knowing my work could mean life or death for others. On September 11, 2001 I was stationed at Fort Belvoir, VA, as a professor of leadership and program management for DAU. My home was near Mount Vernon, 7 miles from the pentagon. Neighbors who were at home heard the explosion when the plane hit the Pentagon. A student at my son's school lost his dad there. It was another very sobering time to be on active duty that changed me forever. Shortly after that our neighborhood was rocked by anthrax in our mail. The official adoption papers for our daughter were impounded because they were at one of the postal processing centers where anthrax spores sickened employees. I could have spoken at length about these experiences, but I guess the 2 hour interview is already long enough. :) As I listened I cringed at three errors I made--the kind of thing that is so obvious to me that I can't believe I said it. The words coming out of my mouth don't even match what was going through my brain. Most of you have probably experienced similar episodes. Anyway, when I said my wife had a PhD I was actually thinking about my sister. My wife has a bachelor's degree that she worked very hard for, but not a PhD. I also said my brother and sister had 3 children each when I know very well they only have 2 each. Finally, when I was speaking about my training in a simulated POW camp, I said it lasted a year! I've no idea where that came from. It seemed like an eternity, but it was only 3 days. I hope you enjoy listening.

WAY TOO LONG!

He’s right about coming home and finding a job for veterans it’s difficult . But having a military background in the end make you raise above all that .

Thank you very much for servings your country. I know now that anytime you could've been in a middle of some tough fighting. That alone has to hard while your there

Bad interviewer. Talks too much about himself.

Thank You for your service SIR!

Why is wearing a mask they don't help at all?

Jim’s story is my story mostly. I’ll never forget the day he joined us. Never thought e would become good friends but here we are. Thanks Jim for sharing in such an interesting manner.

When I worked at Douglas aircraft in the late 60s, There was a fellow worker who was a courrier driver for the company. He drove a ford econoline van from plant to plant carrying documents. Douglas had plants all over L. A. basin he carried money in chash and checks. He did not have a weapon he drove on freeways and highways. One time he carried a million bucks cash no security around or with him.

I too was proud of myself making E-5. I did it in 16 1/2 months in service. I was a grunt in Vietnam 1971. Most intense year of my life.

I was a grunt in Vietnam 1971. I too thought I would not be 11B cause I had some college before being drafted. Nope I was put in the infantry. I was in the 196th Bde. I was the RTO my tour.
