For
three years I was an MP in Europe operating under extremely stressful
conditions.
I
was selected to go through some very special training at a certain U.S.
government “facility” in Oberammagau, Germany... the existence of
which... is not even dreamed about by any civilians and, very
few commanding officers in even
the highest echelons of
the military. I think maybe I shouldn’t write much about that
but, I can tell you, the violent types I was introduced to there are
far worse than any
nightmare you’ve ever
had.
I’ve
been a prison guard and a prison inmate. I’ve gone up against guys with
guns, guys with knives... and once... I had to cripple a guy twice my
size who just simply gave me no other choice.
The
problem with all this is, I’m not an especially tough person and this
kind of stuff really frightens me.
What
has been even more scary is standing up to the U.S. government and all
the steel-edged, stone-cold, ethically devoid, soulless assholes you
encounter when trying to do business in America these days.
But,
so far (thank God and cross my fingers) I’ve survived it all.
Even
prospered every once in a while... and... I do believe part of my
survival and part of my successes (business, personal and military) can
be credited to the “mindset training” I got from that little Puerto
Rican drill sergeant.
See,
he knew something I didn’t: He knew, in real-life, you don’t get to
yell “Time Out” when you are sick, tired and scared... and then...
have the enemy cut you some slack. NO! As life teaches us all...
