My favorite post of yours to date. Items for consideration to add to the list:

- Build to a 3-min breath hold

- Skydive solo

- Raft or kayak level 5 rapids

- Serve: military, first responders, community-based professions or volunteer

“Serve in the military” , How about defend your borders first, or stop violent thugs like BLM or Antifa from destroying your cities? What is the point in flying halfway around the world to “serve your country” when you can't stop it being destroyed from inside?

What if instead I just invent a pseudonym like Jack Krucial and call it a day?

Unfortunately you’re not as blessed as I am with my family lineage, and instead your name is Flounder…
