Have you have a dream, a lifelong dream? that.. when you eat, you think of it, when you sleep, you think of it, when you work, you think of it.. its every moment of your life.. and its mine.. People asked me before.. why you wanna be a naval diver? these are a few reasons i thought:
1) To be called a frogman, its a great honor.
2) To possess the skills of a naval diver, specialising either in salvage or underwater demolition is another great honor.
3) To possess a special level of fitness and skills, its rather tempting not to be a naval diver;)
4) To be an elite force, or be call a elite, is another great honor.
5) If in war, i rather be on the frontline, or behind enemy lines, screwing them up rather than be a greenhorn without any skills or any idea.. and have my buddy beside me, who i trust with my life, and i am willing to cover him, and vice versa.. i will trade anything in life for this.
6) Ahh.. did i mention the cool gadgets a diver gets to play? hee.. i love the whole package.. the black suit, hood, knife, frogman's fins, mask and a rather heavy tank? its just amazing to be a diver.
7) Lastly.. well, i think its my calling of my life.. sort of my destiny. Its like a part of my life, i had to accomplish, to be. If not, there is no life if you can fufil what you are set out to do.
8) And finally.. protecting my country, my love ones, are a duty to me. No matter what happen.
Heroes.. are they exist only in comics, in fictions? No.. i think they exist everywhere.. an ordinary man can become a hero in a circumstance.. given his courage and faith. Who are your heroes? Well.. for me, they are always those guys, who did what he has to.. that he is right, regardless of the circumstance.. Ever read or watch the show band of brothers? Frankly i admire the courage and valiant actions of the 101th airborne division in WW2.. ya, they are real people.. who surivived the war.. as paratroopers serving in the United States army from 1942 to 1945.. They are my heroes.. men who are as close as brothers in combat.. who fought and bled together..
I always think.. Life without a goal, or a dream is meanliness.. There's no point in living if you cant find your dream.. what you think?
