    Reminds me of what someone once said, "The worse disability is the one that you tie to your ass." There are some amazing people out there. This officer is just one of them. Thanks for the article.

    One tough SOB. He makes me glad to live in a country that produces men like him.

    I can only hope that I could be one-tenth as tough and motivated as Capt. Skelton if I had to face those kind of challenges.

    I loved his comments about getting busted at West Point for running a body piercing studio from his barracks room. "You better own that choice."

    You got wounded? You got blown up? What are you going to do with that gift?”
    Occasionally I come across someone who makes me feel like a total p*ssy. Captain Skelton leads that pack.
