soldier is fortitude under fatigue and

Youre only good as your values
My recruiting key -- I looked for PEOPLE 
first, athletes second. I wanted people 
with a sound value system as you cannot 
buy values. You're only as good as your 
values. I learned early on that you do not 
put greatness into people... but somehow 
try to pull it out.
