I'm not scared of very much. I've been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years.
For me, leaving the Marine Corps was more disorienting than returning home.
I have been writing for 50 years and readers still read my first book from when I was in the Marine Corps.
I do not believe I could have built FedEx without the skills I learned from the Marine Corps.
We have a saying in the Marine Corps and that is 'no better friend, no worse enemy, than a U.S. Marine.' We always hope for the first, friendship, but are certainly more than ready for the second.
But to sustain a marriage for 50 years, you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says, 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.
You need a graphic understanding of a situation to make a complete judgment and we didn't have that.
Writing, for me, is an inherent part of understanding the material on a deeper level.
