Good morning MSgt! I first ran into part of your story reading Jimmy Settle’s “Never Quit” and I just finished your book, which was amazing. I’m an Air Force Paramedic (base EMS type) and at the end of this enlistment I plan on putting in a re-training package for Pararescue. I love emergency medicine, adventure sports, and have a desire to serve in the greatest capacity that I can. Being a PJ seems to wrap all of that up nicely.

What is your current optic on the direction that Air Force Special Warfare is heading now, with many confirmed and many more rumored changes occurring? What advice would you give to somebody at the beginning of this journey?

Thank you for your time, service, and for the excellent book.

From anecdotal experiences of myself and others I’ve known, much mental anguish stems from a lack of satisfaction in our daily strivings, such as our careers. What are your thoughts on work that enables a lifestyle vs work that is inberently meaningful? Do you think it is important to find meaning in your work? And for those who do not currently find meaning in their work, how can they go about doing so?

I saw your reply to the other question just after I posted mine. Thanks for the response! Resolve and intent. Seems like a mantra I can work with. Cheers!
