Take Bernie McAuley’s “The Shadows of Sawtooth Ridge .” This is a book about an airline pilot who is in a lot of trouble losing his job because of his recurring nightmares. His experiences in the Vietnam War bring on these nightmares. Aside from that, he needs to feed and take care of his two children and try to take care of the ranch he grew up in that is about to be sold.

I imagine that the process of dying is a terrifying one. The unimaginable fear of suddenly not existing can be mentally taxing. This stress can even be more taxing to those who are left after. After all, it is not easy losing a loved one. The absence they fill in our hearts can never be filled once again.

A group is all about proper organization. Proper organization can only be made when there is effective communication. This is true for any group, whether they are a civilian organization or a military unit. Effective communication skills are key for an efficient organization on the civilian side. By communicating effectively, the organization members can do their roles clearly and concisely. Confusion is minimized, and so does wasting resources, be it manpower, money, or even time.
