8:27 – Adversity builds mental toughness 

16:06 – I’m the proverbial if your friend jumps off a bridge, will you? Yeah, four of my friends jumped off a bridge, so I joined them.             

22:23 – The good news, I can make you a Marine, the bad news is you don’t qualify with these test scores – for anything! 

31:58 – the best memories were really the worst stories, just overcoming adversity 

36:12 – I was awarded the Silver Star for that action in Iraq, it’s our nation’s third highest award for valor
