I married into that family. My father in law was a Korea vet, Drill instructor, crew chief or whatever of Marilyn Monroe's helicopter, commercial pilot, ski instructor, photographer, civil engineer, land owner, gardener, farmer, rancher, investor in wind energy and petroleum, taught/ tutored math at college, helped a woman escape East Germany and lots more and considered himself a slacker.

You've certainly changed MY life

Elon Musk is the most accomplished man of my generation.
To the moon and beyond

BTW, he's an astronaut now too.  His mom is still disappointed that he doesn't work hard enough.

Story Musgrave will make you feel like a loser too.

Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan, Augustus, Constantine, and many many others.

Forest Gump? Taught Elvis how to dance, Shrimp Tycoon, All American at Alabama, beat Communism   by playing ping pong.

Hes also now an astronaut.

Tough times make Great Men!

When it comes to the founding fathers, I would probably put Ben Franklin at the top of the list.

Franklin Story Musgrave is an American physician and a retired NASA astronaut.  Dude was a marine, mechanic, spoke lots different languages, many college degrees, brain surgeon, space shuttle astronaut, made me feel my life was wasted.

Take a listen to Jocko's Podcast with Johnny Kim, the Seal/Doctor/Astronaut.  



This is from his Bio on NASA's website:

"LCDR Kim enlisted in the Navy as a Seaman recruit after graduating high school in 2002.  After completion of Hospital Corpsman “A” school training, he reported to Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training in Coronado, CA.  After completing his training at Naval Special Warfare, Kim reported to John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School in Fort Bragg, NC for the Special Operations Combat Medic Course.  He was assigned as a Special Warfare Operator to SEAL Team THREE Charlie Platoon in San Diego, California and obtained various qualifications including Military Freefall Parachutist, Combatant Diver (closed circuit rebreather), Naval Special Warfare Special Reconnaissance Scout and Sniper, and Advanced Special Operations Techniques.  Kim served as a Special Operations Combat Medic, sniper, navigator and point man on more than 100 combat operations spanning two deployments to the Middle East including Ramadi and Sadr City, Iraq.  He was commissioned as a naval officer through the Navy’s enlisted-to-officer commissioning program, Seaman to Admiral-21, following graduation from the University of San Diego in 2012.  Kim obtained his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and completed his internship with Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital."

Damn quitter, can't stick to anything!  

Confusing, but clever post (after some googling).

Patches O’Houlihan got shit done.

Neil Armstrong was a naval aviator, test pilot, professor, astronaut, first man on the moon, and won the Tour de France seven times.

This almost reads like fiction. Accomplishment after accomplishment, personal and professional.

Jonny Kim, Seal, then Doctor and now Astronaut flight surgeon and is scheduled for a moon flight. I think he has a math degree from MIT or some shit too. Also came from a fucked up family situation.

Dwight Eisenhower didn't do too bad.
A very smart man who knew how evil politicians would become.

Jimmy Doolittle had a hell of a life.
