9/10!

REALLY happy for this dude. He has really busted his butt over the last year and a half, being a Fire Fighter/Paramedic, Scuba Team Leader, SWAT medic, getting his Bachelor's degree, getting his Skydiving coach rating, and just generally beating the cr@p out of life. And doing all of this with Kidney failure. But tomorrow morning, that changes and he's FINALLY getting a new Kidney, thanks to the selfless act of someone that decided to donate one of their Kidneys. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Congratulations Gage! Super stoked and happy for you, and can't wait to jump with you again, brother! #neverquit #DFQ #kidneypunch #kidneytransplant #kidneydisease #isitokaytogetdrunkbeforethesurgery 🎉🎈🍾🍻🍹🍸🥂🥃🍶 and maybe a 🌮 or two. 😎 #dontfartunderanesthesia #dontask https://www.instagram.com/p/CekKioqumkd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today, 78 years ago, more than Fifty Five Thousand American men aged 18-25 put the blank check that they signed ( ... up to, and including one's life ... ) on the table and poured out of Six Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty Nine ships and landing crafts and onto the beaches of France, straight into withering machine gun fire and certain death. Another Twenty Thousand Airborne troops rained down from Two Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Five aircraft (AIRBORNE!), and Eight Hundred Sixty Seven gliders also delivered men to the fight. In all, Two Million Eight Hundred Seventy Six Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Nine troopers focused on one single effort - to protect America, it's ideals, and the rest of the world. Think about what you accomplished and can say about that time of your life from 18-25 years of age. What have you done to make someone else's life better? It's never too late. Not until that second after you draw your last breath. And taking the example of these amazing men and women, maybe even far after... Are you an American worth fighting for? Are you a human worth dying for? Every day is a new chance to change it all. Start now. You might even measure up to the giants of the greatest generation. But today, take just one minute and appreciate that you are able to do whatever you want because they DID. #DFQ #neverquit #diefirstthenquit #AIRBORNE #AATW #10MTN #RTLW #dday #normandy #operationoverlord #greatestgeneration 👍💪🇺🇸⚙️ American Machine & Gear Works #WhenItHASToBeRight #MakeSureItsAmerican  #AmericanMade #MadeInAmerica #MadeInMilwaukee #NotMadeInChina #Surgical #Medical #Industrial #Gears #Prototype #WEDM #Milling #Turning #Grinding #GearHobbing #GearShaping #Quality #SetUpDevil https://www.instagram.com/p/Ced-ciGupBk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was, by far, my ugliest #Murph ever. Inconsistency is my nemesis. I haven't paid The Man like I should, and it shows. #DFQ #hokaoneone #GORUCK #paytheman (at Sandy Springs, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeJ9EoGubcjkMnul6EzkLbtqGQhaMX8YCtlC1s0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
