If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.

The past is finished. There is nothing to b gained by going over it. Whatever it gave us in the experiences it brought us was something we had to know.

During a visit to a military medical clinic,
I was sent to the lab to have blood drawn. The technician there was
friendly and mentioned that his mood improved every day because he
was due
to leave the service in two months.
As he applied
the tourniquet on my arm, he told me that taking the
blood wouldn't
hurt much. Then, noticing my Air Force T-shirt he asked me
what my
husband did.
When I replied that he was a recruiter, the
technician smiled slyly and
said, "This might hurt a little more than I
thought."

The Army Airborne major was used to
harassment from Air Force fliers about crazy Army paratroopers jumping out
of
perfectly good aircraft. "Obviously the Air Force knows there's
no such
thing as a 'perfectly good aircraft,'" the irritated
officer finally
countered one afternoon, "because they pay you bastards
four times as
much to stay in one as the Army pays its men to
jump."
"You've got it all wrong, Major," an Air Force sergeant
replied.
"The Army figures anyone stupid enough to jump out of an
airplane
voluntarily is gonna be too dumb to bitch about the salary."

a light bulb?
- That is a military secret. If I told you I'd
have to kill you.

General?
- God knows it will be lost.
- Then why
should we go for it?

I was an Air Force ICBM launch control
officer in South Dakota. Two officers pulled 24-hour alerts in a launch
control center that was surrounded by several Minuteman II silos.
The facility and the silos were separated by several miles. We
were not
allowed to leave the "capsule" until relieved the next day,
and we
were supported by several on-site personnel in the support
building
upstairs. The capsules were Spartan, but each boasted a
small refrigerator
and a small microwave.
On one tour of duty,
the cook called down around lunch time and
informed us that she was
cleaning her oven and that hot food would be
unavailable for a
short time.
Later, around supper time, she called down again and
apologized that
she had dismantled her oven to clean it, was having
trouble reassembling
it, and would again be unable to heat our food
orders. We were somewhat
annoyed, but, being the kinder, gent
ler military officers we were, told
her "No problem. Just send
down the frozen meals and we'll 'nuke'
them ourselves."
Several seconds of dead silence on the phone followed before she
whispered, "You can DO that?" :
