    Light Up the Night Safely

    Unfortunately, a lot of folks don’t take the major hazards related to fireworks seriously. Some people enjoy igniting firecrackers or cherry bombs and holding them in their hand as long as possible before throwing them — sometimes at...

    Seat Belts: Myth vs. Reality

    Since the invention of air bags, many people believe they no longer have to wear their seat belts. Relying on air bags alone and not using your seat belt is more dangerous than not having air bags at all. Air bags should be considered additional...

    Riding Blind

    I’ve taken many long motorcycle trips over the past few years. On this one, however, I was caught by surprise. It wasn’t anything big — just something that never crossed my mind.

    A Lesson in Humility

    A Lesson in Humility

    During a recent trip to Acadia National Park in Maine, I learned a few valuable lessons: I am not as smart as I thought I was, and following established rules and policies protects me from harm. These lessons, although embarrassing, later saved me from greater harm in a different national park and may have prevented a tragic accident in my unit a few weeks later.

    Hamstrung

    Many years ago, I was a young platoon leader (PL) deployed to Mosul, Iraq. One afternoon, after completing a round of checkpoint missions, I heard about a track meet the forward operating base was hosting.

    Going Down with the Ship

    Going Down with the Ship

    My friend and I had been planning all week to take his 16-foot catamaran sailing on Santa Rosa Sound, Florida.

That should have been my first clue that this trip wasn’t going to end well.

    Without a Paddle

    After returning home from a year in Afghanistan, I couldn’t wait to take a nice, relaxing trip with family and friends. So, two weeks after redeployment/reintegration, we packed our bags, coolers and paddleboards and headed for the beach. There, we’d join three other families already enjoying the beautiful weather. Little did I know that this trip would be anything but relaxing.

    Just a Cast Away

    Just a Cast Away

    If you’re like me, you cherish every opportunity to take a break from your busy work schedule to toss a line into the water, regardless the time of year. These occasions are especially important to me now as my career is beginning to sunset and fly fishing provides me with quiet, peaceful moments.
