Our storyteller was attacked by an evil entity.

Up next on the campfire.

Sit back, relax, and warm yourself by Jim Harold's Campfire.

Next up is Steve from Hawaii. and warm yourself by Jim Harold's Campfire.

Next up is Steve from Hawaii,

and he has quite a story that goes back to his childhood.

I believe when he was 13 years old.

He has many stories, he says,

but this one is one that stood out for him.

He'd like to share tonight in the campfire.

He's new listener just found out about us a couple months ago, and here he is, and we appreciate it very much. Steve, welcome to the program and tell us what happened.

Jim, thanks for having me. Just with a lot of your viewers, they kind of give their background

first, and then they go into their story.

So for my case, I did 23 years in the Air Force.

I was an intelligence officer for those 23 years, counterterrorism at first, and then I worked what we call strategic competition.

I have multiple master's degrees.

So kind of doing the argument from authority here that I have this background that doesn't really match the experiences that I have had, primarily when I was a youth.

But I've had a couple of things that happened while I was in the Air Force as well.

And let me interject, and I told you all fair, but thank you for your service to the country. I appreciate it. And I do think that's really interesting. You have that background. So, you know, sometimes the debunkers and skeptics will say, ah, you know, these people aren't stable and things, which is, you know, just a red herring they throw in there.

Obviously, you are the picture of credibility, stability, all those things.

So, yes, please proceed.

And thank you again for your service.
