In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

I really commend this guy's efforts, and feel that he should be able to serve in the military. I feel that he has proven that he could pass any of the physical training programs, and drills they have to offer. He has shown so much dedication and determination in his passion for service to our country. Everyone willing to serve--who chooses to serve, should be allowed to serve. Over the decades, doors have been opened to the military, I hope his dream becomes a reality for him.

[Shelllium]

Wow! That was inspiring!!! Thanks so much for posting! I know a hearing fellow who thought he would join the Navy like his Dad and brother...but found out when senior in HS that he has a genetic heart defect. Never knew...no signs...so was disqualified from service. Changed career...now is computer tech teacher at middle school. Best of luck to Cadet Nolan. He obviously really cares about serving his country in the military.

[Chris Gray]

Haha, he called ROTC "The real deal." I can tell you that it isn't...
