Training is a privilege!
First you move to another city, do all of the mundane things like change of address, license information, finding out where things are and looking for a new job while making the 3 hour commute to your old one in a car that was destined for the junkyard.
Next, you have to find a place to live for you, a roommate, and your roommate's dog. You have to ensure that everyone will be comfortable and that the neighborhood is suitable. Still with me? Good.
Now imagine the need to change careers due to health issues and dissatisfaction with the current one. This takes you a month while you still have to drive 700 miles a week just to work and have half of your money taken because of gas and car maintenance.
Whew!
You finally get a job in your new chosen industry now you must procure the tools of the trade and then learn it at hyper-speed like a soldier being thrown in an operating battlefield when all he knows is that shooting guns is fun at home. Now imagine that soldier getting bronchitis for his first few weeks in the war and because of the situation, can't get medical attention.
Still with me?
In life the most difficult challenges come just before our most triumphant moments. The soldier marches on cautiously focusing on his next objective, and won't stop until his work is done. He wastes no time. He grows and feverishly masters his new obstacles. There is only one burning desire, only one luxury he permits himself to take.
His Training!
In his training he has his health, his morale, his comrades, and his palatable challenges to face. Compared to life my friends training is a joy and a privilege.
Those who do not recognize it as so are horribly mistaken, they do not and can not take chances therefore they are not worthy of life's most precious rewards and wisdom. They are ignorantly weak and will not know what hit them long less be able to defend or maintain from such an attack.
The story of the soldier is incomplete. His chance for survival is made possible by his training. Through training his health is enhanced , his morale, his relationships, and his toughness have been carefully cultivated for optimal survival.
Those who understand the Soldier's Privilege, already know how the story ends.
For those who do not, cower away from training or try to circumvent it's necessary toughness not knowing completely what they are giving up in return.
I'll say it again in closing,
