Your past experience and amount of pyhsical trials have definitely inspired me. I just learned at christmas time that my mom has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung and liver cancer. Bummer of a christmas present. So with that being said my father has invited my wife and children and I to move in with them when I get out, to be close by and to assist with the healing process as we all go through extensive chemo with her, I will use this time to aqquire my CDL , and to use the time to get my family active in the church again. My plan is to be ready to go OTR by year end, moms health will be a factor of course but I really want to drive truck. This is truly a very amazing community of some of the nicest people I have ever come across and the camraderie reminds me a lot of the service. I will keep you guys posted. Thanks again Star and everyone for the advice and kindness. Stay safe out there!
