I only ever thought I would make it up to SFC before I retired, and I might actually get past that, but there were a few schools that I wanted to go to before I got too old and too broke. Anybody else have any regrets?

I have far exceeded what I expected to accomplish in the beginning, but as time has progressed my goals have been adjusted to include some loftier things that I didn't consider early in my career. While some of those additions to my "to do list" remain undone, I've still been able to check most of the boxes added later in my career. Truthfully if it all ended tomorrow, I don't know that I could complain.

None what so ever SFC Carden!

I have led America's finest on the battlefield brought them all home alive and with all their limbs(thanks to gods every lasting light). Met the enemy and made them die for their beliefs. Cleared the MSRs, ASRs, foot paths and even some mountains no one will ever walk on again. So NO regrets here.

Looking back, I would have liked the challenge of company-level command.  For me, this was a few years away by the time I put in my separation paperwork.  Sometimes I wonder what that would have been like, since I enjoyed my time as an XO a lot.
