"It is dangerous for men in power if no one dares to tell them when they go wrong.”
St. Thomas Becket
(1118-1170) Civil and Canon Lawyer, Soldier/Officer, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr (murdered by king's supporters); Patron Saint of Clergy, Secular Clergy



"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."


Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Statesman and Author

“The untruthful soldier trifles with the lives of his countrymen and the honor and safety of his country.”
Gen Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) Five-star General of the US Army


'Stand firm and immovable as an anvil when it is beaten upon.'
St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) Founder of the Jesuits, Patron Saint of Soldiers

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
President George Washington - Farewell Address - Commander of the Continental Army, First President of the U.S., Anglican Christian,  Early Emancipator (In his Will, he freed all slaves ... persons "inherited" by his wife, Martha.)

"There is only one kind of failure I cannot tolerate: the failure to risk failure."
Richard Marcinko - Retired US Navy Seal Commander, First Commander of Seal Team 6


“You can assign a man to a leadership position, but no one will ever really be a leader until his appointment is
ratified in the hearts and minds of his soldiers. ... An honest–to–God, soul searching,
self–evaluation is in order—and very difficult to do. I think this is the first vital step as one goes about the
business of becoming a better leader. ”
Gen William J. Livsey - US Army Commander

Retirement (July 2023)

After about four decades of faithful service to our country, and to the disciplined training of effective warriors (mostly in the AH64), I now enter retirement. It has been an honor to serve.

We (GInny and I) now enter into the next chapter of our life together - one of new projects and pursuits of excellence.

Done or dead ...

Nearing The End Of The Tour, Preparing For A Move (October 2003)

Working here at CMTC has been a rewarding and challenging experience. Our job has been to train our fellow soldiers to fight safely, effectively, and efficiently by using "tough, realistic combined arms training". We have done everything possible to accomplish this goal.

To learn more about our continuing mission, go to this site.

This December, we will be moving to sunny Alabama! Once we arrive, we will be building our first house. Needless to say, we are very excited to be moving home to the U.S.A.

If you have any thoughts, questions, or concerns, drop us an e-mail!
