Colonel Robert Howard Interview
I don't think this has been posted yet-- I searched and didn't see anything-- apologies if it has: This is a link to an outstanding video interview with Colonel Robert Howard through the Pritzker Military Library. Really incredible stuff.

Good find. Thank you.

The Colonel is a helluva soldier. He could probably still ruck 90% of the military into the ground.

Take heed Sluggos.

COL (then MAJ) Howard was one of my instructors at the Q Course, and set the pace for the final ruck of PHI (old style phase count) - there is only one word for the man - stud, in the true SF use of the word - he did everything the candidates did - 6x as well, and taught at the same time. I'll have to watch this video at home tonight, no real player at work.

Man, that video was exactly what I needed to see. I'm taking it to class tomorrow to show during lunch. Thanks.
