    “Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present, but those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential. Without pushing your limits, without occasionally sliding down the rope headfirst, without daring greatly, you will never know what is truly possible in your life.”

    I am a Marine and always will be. Listening to the Admiral took me back to Parris Island where the training tested me to the limit and they tried punishing me to test my mettle to see if I had it to be a combat trained Marine. I couldn't do things right at first and they made me do it over and over until I succeeded and got it. After 3 months of terrible mental and physical training I graduated as a Marine. It was the greatest and proudest day of my life and I am still a Marine at age 85.

    I found this speech a few years ago when I was at my absolute lowest losing to drugs and alcohol. I'm 14 months sober as of writing this and this speech was part of my recovery. The ten rules went on my wall and I started to live by them. I fought for my life back harder than I've ever done anything. If anyone is ever struggling, please don't give up, you can overcome.

    My husband was a marine and a Navajo. He was proud of all his family that served. My family also represented the best they could be in the Army,Navy and Marines. My dad joined at 17. He felt ashamed that he was home and his brothers were serving overseas. My Grandfather had signed for him to go. I miss him so much. The National Anthem makes me cry every time I hear it. I am so proud of the strong men in my family, and my friends, who also served this country. I love you daddy.

      Jennifer lampretch to our boy Killian,
      current events had led to my conclusion of unknown intelligence agencies collusion in government affairs.
      Plans to utilize geographic projection of god like will to power, spearheading prophecy as a means of last ditch attempt at government expansionism, Ethier religious, or "National socialist" to flow the water of the state with long unused complexes.
      The question of the shadow of nationalism apply?
      Furthermore creation of a demagogue would be established and the organ of the collective psyche smiting any opposing foe.
      (Complex's are the psychological equivalent of vegetative biological systems )
      Possible relatives of royal, masionic, security affairs may currently be involved from the great white north, down to the deep south in Grand strategy's of U.S. cultural domination across much of Nato and the U.N even as far as to say utilizing the new collective consciousness for U.S military deployment into China and possibly Europe marching in on the beat of demagogue.
      Sleeper cells lay dorment among select families of security related social institutions
      Fabricated by specifically triggering emotional ques of the "self preservative function" , even so far as creation of new unheard-of unconscious complex's, Hence traumatic advents of violence is utilized in changing behaviour of the sleeper, challenging natural instincts and the sleepers immediate actions.
      All stages of infant and adolescent trauma programs and adapts action, in recall cases borderline or psychotic tendencies are prevalent.
      ( big for Jennifer lampretchs satanic ritual abuse )
      In cases of extreme early preadolescent trauma, satanic ritual abuse , alien abduction is reported by sleepers and patients.
      The sleepers possess cardinal traits established to provide accurate results in attaining goals.
      Mobilization of sleepers is enacted through the use of crude graffiti to be communicated commands for other agents or actors in national or religious state control.
      Affecting sleepers lives.
      Mythology and prophecy can be used in cultural and military service doctrine , although complicated to implement, the individual who plays this drum " must be unaware " , awakening to his role ruins authentic behaviour.
      The long drawn out process allows for unconscious actors to play pianist of the public's inferior function.
      Once the unconscious actors are in position in the public domain , "the god like will to power" is enacted amongst the populous, it's impact flood long since dormant volcano of cultural complex's across Europe, Russia and China striking the fear of God into the hearts of combatants.
      These threats of Unite States religious " will to power supremacy" , "global projection "and agents aka actors unconscious "pianist of the demagogue", in the form of an all encompassing "savoir ", is not just isolated to team A or B and split both down the middle.
      Urgency in addressing, Senate committees and cabinet board of trustees.
      Remember the Pheonix the publics revolution is the godfathers strength, the four richest families who lurch in the background.
      Also to Suzanne whom may concern might have been paid in affecting her sons action using serve trauma to the point of self suicide.
      Causing his awaking.
      I LOVE YOU JENNIFER AND OUR BOY KILLIAN!!!!

      The center on our high school football team that won the state championship weighed 140 pounds. “It doesn't matter the size of the dog in the fight, rather the size of the fight in the dog.” ― Mark Twain. I expect he had some extra coating from his older brother, Buddy Ryan as well. There is less strain on the shorter bones and the joints on their ends than those of someone taller lifting the same weight due to the shorter lever arm putting less load on the fulcrum (joint) and slightly less bending stress on the shorter bones.

      I'm a short guy (5'7"). Not the most physically imposing guy in the world by any means. Used to be really self-conscious about it into my early 20s and probably had a chip on my shoulder about it.
      Joined the military (Air Force) in a special operations job, and yes we had the bell there. Passed through that somehow and as I was going through I realized the shortest guys had an easier (but not easy) time with the PT. Not sure of the reason, but shorter guys consistently outperformed the taller ones.
      Later left the military and became a police officer. As one of the shortest guys in the dept., I found its not necessarily your size that commands respect from people, but how you carry yourself and your demeanor in stressful situations. Some may judge you up front as the little guy and write you off or test you a little more, but in my experience you can win their respect within five minutes by just being professional, calm, and respectful.
      The scariest people I've ever met, in both my police and military work, were shorter guys. Some even shorter than me!
      Moral is, don't get hung up on your height. It may affect first impressions a little with new people, but its your attitude and demeanor that wins hearts and minds, and after awhile - if you carry yourself right and treat others well - they wont see you as the little guy anymore. And you will stop thinking of yourself that way too.

      @@stephensloniker1761 I'm 5"9, I used to feel unworthy, due to my height. But I was a very simple minded individual back then. It's great to see people who overcome social norms. It reminds me we are all humans and we all have our flaws, but don't let that undermine who you are as a human being. Also don't let your flaws suppress you, I've seen people who become angry with everyone else when everyone else has nothing to do with who they are. They justify their actions by blaming something they created in their own mind.

      9/11 was an inside event, to justify military intervention in the Middle East to implement regime change to the petrodollar. As a military officer, you were brainwashed into believing the propaganda that was thrust into you. You will react negatively towards this comments because you have been brainwashed and indoctrinated, and cannot think objectively. You are incapable of independent thought.

    Retired Navy and probably watched this a dozen times. Brings back memories of my time at Naval Air Station Pensacola where I went through Aviation Officer Candidate school with very friendly U.S. Marine drill Instructors. Every high school student should view this life lesson video and maybe a few will change the world for the good if not their life.
