Who has the courage to do this?

[Michael Quarles]

I am a proud guy wanting to brag about his son... 

He has wanted to be a pilot for a long frigging time... And last week he became Aircraft Carrier Certified. It is amazing when you set a goal and decide that achieving your dream is worth more than failing. To overcome fear and conquer your demons is absolutely a rush that all should experience. Imagine that if you don't land correctly dieing is likely.

How many of us set goals and achieve them in the face of extreme danger with lives on the line?
