Dear Mark,<\/p>\n
I started a second tour of duty in the U.S. Army in 1988 after taking a 18 month sabbatical.\u00a0 I felt that being in the Armed Services, it didn\u2019t really matter anyway how you coped or embellished a philosophy of life.\u00a0 Survival was of the utmost and the military filled that need for me.\u00a0 As long as you didn\u2019t get ribbed to much for your opinion you were welcome to it.\u00a0 When I was approached with NT\u2019s Cosmic Business Control, I thought this couldn\u2019t hurt.\u00a0 In fact it had to be something I was going to enjoy or rip to pieces.\u00a0 Well, after reading the NT story and what kind of troubles they had been through, I was disturbed by the facts that someone besides myself had really had a legitimate reason for being upset with our current state of affairs with the many of the government agencies and the complete inadequacies in handling any thing other than our national security.\u00a0 Moreover, the zest for life and all around understanding they gave me put me in a position to do something other than hide behind a rifle.\u00a0 This all does not sound like much of a testimonial, but for me the context of it is not something everyone can grasp.\u00a0 NT has put my perspective and objective rational for reality into context again.\u00a0 The person I always wanted to be was not going to be totally abandoned.\u00a0 I have seen that being an integrated thinking human being is more than a battle of wits.\u00a0 NT is an observation of the essence of life and how you can keep iron grip control of the values you hold to be real and lasting.<\/p>\n
