Rob Jones’s recovery and attitude toward his life changing injury are a testament to his personal strength. Saw him on a morning news show recently; hats off to his strength. I was a combat engineer in the Army, in the previous century and managed to get through 23 1/2 years in two services (Navy and Army). As I listen I reconfigure my ruck for a 10 miler in the morning. It’s fun and being retired it gives me some outside time most retirees don’t seem to want. I’am 68 and still feel the need to pick up my ruck (30 #) and take a walk. Thanks for the podcasts, lots of good information, history and personal insight.
Rob Jones. Hard to put words down. I am an endurance runner and I simply have a lack of words. Every morning I get up and feel some weakness or temptation to complain, your podcast is there to remind me of men and women like Rob. There is simply no reason for those who haven’t faced challenges like his to cry like a baby. Let’s all just get tightened up and get some while there is yet time. Months ago, I turned my sons on to your work. Well received, but applied differently. They are all getting after it in their own ways. While I’m not the type to write reviews or comments, I had to post on this one (can I actually have a favorite episode?), as it pertains in several ways. My second oldest is in process in enlistment in the local Fire Department here in Memphis, TN. He has completed the initial written exam, and this morning had his first physical assessment, a 1.5 mile run. He has the flu, but was determined to not let that get in his way. After my own workout this morning, I was back at the house and he walked in the door. He crushed it, with an 8:10 time. Needless to say, I’m proud of him. Not for just a run, and not letting weakness stand in the way, but that he has chosen such a noble path and life work. This is a decision that you had (as much as anyone else) definite influence in. Thank you for your service, your work, and your leadership in all our lives. Keep getting after it. We’re with you.
