I have benefited in many ways from studying and applying Scientology. While in the Air Force, I worked in crews that do aircraft preflight prep for pilot training missions. The work was fast paced and required extreme attention to detail and safety. It was very intense and you're under close observation by safety and quality control people. After taking a basic Scientology course on communication, my performance in this work environment was greatly enhanced. Handling situations and people became more simple and I just felt like I was more "there". I received many commendations and awards for my performance on my Air Force job. I'm proud to say that these recognition's were not based on "kissing up" to anyone or compromising my integrity with the politics and games that can go on in the military and many other work environments, for that matter. I was recognized because I could get the job done and do it well, as well as organizing others to do the same.

      I give full credit for my work success to what I gained from studying communication in Scientology and say "full credit" because I was very stressed out in my job prior to this. So I know that Scientology works. It's as simple as that. You can learn some very basic truths and gain some awareness and tools to help you in everyday life. This is no mumbo-jumbo. I'm a regular working guy trying to support a family and I rely on common sense more than anything to survive these days in this world. Scientology to me, presents itself as a large resource of common sense and I'm glad to have it available.

      If anyone tells you that Scientology is a bad thing, all I can say to you is, consider the source and check it out for yourself. People can steer you into wrong conclusions about lots of different things for many different reasons and one usually only discovers the truth about something only upon checking it out firsthand. This can apply to buying a car, a house, having kids, etc. You know, life.
