Sample Book Insights:
#1 Priorities in flying are: navigate, communicate, and aviate. Navigating safely to your destination is the most important thing you must do.
#2 The importance of proper procedure was made clear to me when I was flying an F/A-18 jet that had a small rag left inside the engine by a worker during its rebuild. The rag caused a catastrophic overpressure in the engine, which almost caused the plane to crash.
#3 I was asked to serve as a speechwriter for the new secretary of defense, James Mattis, in 2017. I was excited about the opportunity, but I had to consider my family's needs.
#4 I was assigned to work for Mattis, and I was excited to learn more about him. I watched online interviews and speeches, read remarks that he delivered throughout his military career, and started reading books that he had enjoyed.
