I dying to get to the ocean for that is where I feel the most alive.
Where do you dive? Salt or fresh water? The body feels so free
in water.

Now the chlorine bothers me but I still love it as I feel alive in the water. I bet you do too arthur. Seeing all these sodas lately makes me want to start collecting them too.

Do you also dive, I'm sorry I forgot you name  please forgive me?

It's Dustin, got it...do you scuba or snorkel?  I could never were a mask on my face as I could never breath right. Too bad for me as I lost out. My son was like 12 when he passed his Scuba. I nearly had a heart attack the day he went for the exam out on the ocean.

Yep its Dustin.  No I don't dive or scuba, although I'm a pretty good swimmer.  Used to be on swim teams during my teenage years and won quite a few trophies and blue ribbons.  I hear its a good chunk of money these days to get a scuba license.  I do love the water though.  Now being so far out I can't see land does kind of bother me.

God Bless you and THANK YOU for sharing and all you did for our country. I'm sorry that all that happened to you.
It brings tears to my eyes we send our young men over to fight and these terrible things happen to them. Things that should
never happen to anyone. Well arthur, I'm PROUD to say I've gotten to now such a wonderful man who has fought for our
country. I know how hard it was for my family and myself when my brother was there. Your family must have gone crazy with your situation.

Status: offline 		Dustin, good to hear you were on the swim team. Say a quick prayer to who or what ever you believe in before you enter the water and protect yourself in a circle of white light. Yeah, it is scarey when you're way out and you look back. I have been really in the ocean in a few years and I really want to get to the Ocean BAD. I have the sound of the ocean Playing 24 hours lately. I find it soothing and relaxing.

Have fun out there swiming.  Hey, Don't forget your sunscreen!

Status: offline 		arthur, your a very strong and brave man. I think you should tell your story under the post, say thanks to the military.
they are looking for bottle collectors who fought for our country. Now I'll always think of you as a HERO for our country.
To have gone through what you did and you don't sound like you have any bitterness at all. What a man you are!
