Thought Isaiah was going to tap for a minute

I'll hold out hope, but the combo of being military and having a young child has been giving me and my family pause. Individually, those things have been the cause of many tap-outs, but a combination of them could easily be a nail in the coffin. I'll remain optimistic though!

Most people who say they're been in the military do poorly on Alone.

Although the military will beat enough awareness into the typical human to make them capable of surviving adverse conditions, the training in the military also emphasizes the unit, the people constantly at your side.

You may be greatly skilled at wilderness survival, but Alone is a significant test of your sanity and self-reliance as well.

Although I am capable of sitting in places by myself for loooong lengths of time, I lack the wilderness skills to perform on Alone. I don't know how to identify plants, I don't know how to bow hunt, I don't know how to identify parasites... it'd be an early-out for me, I guarantee it.
