What was the scariest moment for you? (if you don't mind sharing) What was your funniest moment? What was your most bad ass moment? And I mean in your whole military career, not just as a POW.

How did he save his life? Did he ever see the Priest again?

That's hilarious, I bet that compatriot didn't hear the end of that one for a while.

I feel like airline pilots are doing that to my house sometimes. It feels like they're playing "who can get closest to my roof without actually touching it." So far none have returned to the airport with shingles stuck to the plane.

What's it like flying? Like, at least to begin with, what goes through your mind when you think about being the sole person in control of the machine?

How exciting was it being able to travel so many places? What was your favorite place to go?

Sorry for all the questions...

When he's not there you have achieved 0 Kelvin!

When I was a teenager I, for some reason, thought the Coast Guard was the wussy branch but now that I've seen what they do (diving into stormy, crazy waters etc) I have a new and huge respect for them.

I didn't see manager from what I've read but I guess leadership is leadership and when you can be stern without a second thought when the situation calls (and compassionate when the time is right too) for it then you're better off than a lot of managers I know.

What do you do with your time now?

I went on a field trip to our coast to see where our Coast Guard hang out and it was super cool lookin! There was a big TV, fancy chairs, it was super warm and cozy too because it's frigid as balls outside! My boyfriend said he thought it may take more balls to jump into icy ocean water than to jump into battle but I think it's about even. You're putting your life at risk for someone else just the same.

Do people there ask interesting questions? Have they asked something you loved that hasn't been asked here yet? What was it and what was your answer?
