USAF retired MSGT Ronald "Doc" Colon served 30 years as a paramedic. He traveled the world with wife, 6 kids and a menagerie of pets. He taught us how to learn. When I wanted to be a cheerleader my junior year of high school, he transferred the family to Iran. He said he didn't have anything against cheerleaders, but I would gain more survival skills by seeing the world. The biggest lesson? "Don't judge, you never know what they're going through. And since you're so scrawny, don't fight. You'll do better to duck and run."
