I was never in the military, but I grew up in a military family, with a 'best-at-eveything' type father who had us mountain walking (with packs) from the age of 6. He was a drill sergeant when I was younger, and although he was a mapmaker by trade, he also completed training as a para-engineer (behind-the-lines sabotage), however he wasn't allowed to be deployed as they said that as a cartographer he was too valuable to be killed... Maybe I have something of him in me, but I think my grim determination really comes from surviving ten years at traditional British boarding schools.
Anyway, @Michigan Planner, that's still an amazing mileage. I like what everybody does here in different ways, even @edinatlanta...
