If I could start over with the maturity I have now...I'd serve.

Same here. Anyone know any Army/NG recruiters willing to work with a medical waiver case?

If you could start your adult life over what would you do different?
Would you live somewhere else?
Would you pursue a different career?
Would you act different than you did?

mid life crisis kicking in????

I don't think I would change much of anything really. I have a lot to be thankful for.

You can't change the past. Everything you do is all part of the life experience. Besides if you had no regrets/brief moments of clarity/ near brushes with death, what lessons could you pass on to your kid[s]

Became a better penny pincher

Would you live somewhere else?
Maybe somewhere south

Would you pursue a different career?
Yes, prob would've followed through with my first instinct

Would you act different than you did?
I wouldn't have been a bully (I really feel horrible for it)

Good question....
Yes- I would slow down with my joining the Army and do the High School to flight school option instead of listening to a recruiter who only cares about numbers.
Due to being a pilot I think I would have to live somewhere else.
Kind of- I would be flying helos instead of 4 then out (barring any injury, which is mostly the reason I got out).
Probably not.

Everybody can think of something they should have not done or could have done better. The true question is can you live happily with your decisions and if not how do you rectify your path in the future.

To answer this- yes! I try to live without regrets and learn from my past mistakes.

I would change a few things... I would have played A LOT more football growing up and into highschool. I didn't realize my love for that game until way to late. I would have been a Marine, and gone to school after that. Other then those, I would have maybe changed a thing or too, but nothing big..

mid life crisis kicking in????

haha nah the question was asked by one my friends the other day and it just kind of got me curious.
I appreciate everyone's responses it's interesting getting a glance at how people deal/have dealt with their past decisions.
As for myself I try to live in the moment and enjoy the present. I'd definitely choose a good career, and I would've graduated HS instead of getting my GED so I could enlist.

No regrets here. I've learned from a great deal of mistakes.
