Tales from the Proving Ground
I was talking to Aaryk the other day. He told me about the alarm on his watch going off a little after 9am one day during training. Since they were busy, he didn't turn it off right away. A drill sergeant came over and asked him why he had his alarm set. Aaryk told the drill sergeant that he set his alarm to go off at 9:11 every morning.
I don't remember the drill sergeant's reaction, but when he told me this I asked him why it was set. He told me it was so when things got tough, he would never forget WHY he's doing what he's doing.
Wow. I was speechless.
Is it any wonder I love this man so much?
Just wanted to share that one with you all.
