The majority of your junior personnel are in their 20s. Still new to "adult life" and learning the ropes, what advice would you offer them when it came to life in the military, day to day life, finances, marriage, etc.
I realized today that my junior personnel are still so "green" when it comes to many things I find "obvious". What advice would you offer those in their 20s?

My wife keeps saying 'What?" That is because I wear hearing aids, and my vocalizations are done at a much reduced volume, because I think that I am now speaking at the correct volume. I answer that with a rolling of my eyes, an exasperated sigh, and a, "If you were listening to me in the first place," followed with an, "It's not important." Then when she persists, I tell her that her cat just died, the porch roof fell in, or that I am leaving her for that good looking babe that moved in next door.
My wife has taken care to listen to what I say in the first place, and if she still doesn't hear me, she nods her head, to belay the fact that she couldn't hear me in the first place.
Women must be trained, you know.
Oh, crap. My wife is standing behind me, reading what I am typing in, isn't she?
My life is over. It's been nice meeting you, Capt Jack.

When I was in my 20s I didn't need advice from anyone because I knew a lot about everything and did not take advice well.
