Since this is your job, and you saw a lot of destruction by its nature, was Chernobyl the worst thing that you handled? If anything was worse, what made it so?

What non-horrific thing was the scariest for you? Obviously nothing can compare to the dark things one encounters in war, but were there any moments that weren't traumatic per se, but still made you scared?

In a similar vein, what was your motivation to be courageous? Again, obviously there are life and death moments where you pee your pants but have no choice besides moving forward with wet pants, but what kept you going? Family, duty to your country, espirit de corps, something else?

I truly and deeply admire and thank you for your service as well as your willingness to share your experience with others.

Edit to add: I saw too late that Mr. Farley is not longer answering questions, but if there are any veterans who can respond and give me some insight I'd greatly appreciate it!
