Now this was....is one great thread. Men use many diferent tactics to cover who they really are and what their fears/deficencies are. The same goes for for their position in life and the peer group they belong to.

I was a fairly quiet little dude until I was about 22/23. A musicien from age 6 and singing before an audiance was no problem. The Air Force tought me to speak out and to do it before large bodies peppered with dignitaries, congressmen, senators, generals and a couple of Presidents both from the US and abraod.

Started digging when I was 14. This is what I have learned in my 53 years. Pray every day, it is ok to be afraid, there are no atheists in a war zone, everyone really does look the same on the inside, a dying soldier will always call for his mom, it is always better to keep quiet BUT when you have an opinion let it out, don't smoke, drink or eat to excess, (having a hard time with the eating) love your spouse with everything you have and love your children and grand children the same way, enjoy your friends and every day and if you really want to know what people are all about....Hold someone who is dying in your arms until they are gone.

Oh yea, Try not to be too long winded. Failed at that too....

I'm (gulp) 40 and have been digging bottles since I was 11. To put it into perspective, those 70 year old bottles I dug in 1979 are now 100 years old!

28 and one half! lol, going backwards that is... started digging at 8 or so, and dont think I'll be stopping anytime soon...

20 years of bottle digging has taught me one one thing, next time could be better, or worse, so enjoy what you get now, cause if you dont you'll never get a chance to enjoy it again....

REMEMBER THE pharse " DON'T TRUST ANY ONE OVER 30" or WE ARE THE NOW GENERATION,THE YOUNG GENERATION ETC? REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE GONNA change the world? man did we change it did't we? for the better ? i think a lot of my generation ,IS A GENERATION OF SWINE !!!
