My interview with the 10th Special Forces group went well, and after a few days I received confirmation they were holding a position. My colonel said, “Baun, we’ve spent over $100K to train you to protect special weapons, I’m not giving you up”. Within a year I left the Army as my frustration and feelings of being stuck were too much. M.J. Ryan in her book This Year I Will… talks about the “elevator being broken, use the stairs”. For me it was a broken back after the Army that taught me to use the stairs and take one step at a time to a new career, and now my cancer has taught me one day at a time creates a life journey.
