What terrifies you the most...deep down?

Over the past 29+years of military service including a few combat tours, I was always terrified of getting an assignment to the Pentagon or getting stationed in California I've have an extremely successful career and was able to avoid both of those terrifying fears!

So, I've compiled plenty of gear, stocks and supplies over the years. I've developed plans, we live in a sustainable and resource-rich area. We have (and continue) to train on various skills. We still have some areas that need improvement, but for the most part we are okay.

I wouldn't say it's "terrifying", but my personal shift has been on my health and physical fitness. Life really is fragile and physical limitations, medical device or prescription dependence, or any other debilitating health risks do concern me. I want to continue taking tactical training classes with my son and wife; I want to continue our outdoors adventures and backpacking; I want to continue taking and practicing wilderness survival skills; and I want to travel and simply enjoy life balanced with maintaining an appropriate level of preparedness.

A long career in the military and I've been truly blessed. As I initiate my VA claims and evaluations, I really have few issues. My health is excellent, very minor injuries with no long-term affects and I'm more physically fit than most troopers half my age. I have had to shift my diet and modify my physical fitness some, but my only "fear" would be the challenge of a debilitating illness, disease or injury. However, those are just challenges, not roadblocks...so I'm not terrified, but I am motivated to continue improving and pushing my personal health and physical conditioning.

I do fear God, but I don't live in fear; any fears I may have serve only as motivation to take action.
