Looking for a Job? Are you a Veteran? Try the largest military friendly employer job board in the country! (Landmark Destiny)
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve--is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life".
That is Honor, and it seems there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand.

The Crucible Prayer
At 2am on Tuesday, my Recruit and his platoon will embark on their 54 hour Crucible. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's 54 hours of one meal a day, no sleep (well 2 hours each day) and lots of running, doing drills, working as a team to make it through what one would call hell on earth.
Please take a minute out of your busy day and just lift each and every one of these Recruits up to the Lord, keep them of sound mind, body and spirit. That their one meal a day fill them up like they had just eaten at home, and the few hours of sleep they get, make it feel to them like they have slept for 10 hours. When they feel like they can't go on, guide them with the Power that only you can give them. When the Drill Instructor is yelling in one ear, I know that all you will have to do is whisper in the other to take them to a better place. Give them the light that only you can give them. Send them your strongest angels to protect them from any evil. Lord, you are the Alpha and the Omega, you know our Recruits better than we do. Protect them! The families and friends that are waiting to hear that their loved ones are safe, give them the Peace that only you can give them.
Amen...
