I am sure the questions gets asked a lot, but being as i'm one the the FNGs around here I want to know. If you could start your life over, would you go back into that recruiting office and sign your name? Would you pick the same career path or do something different? Maybe even change Branches altogether? As I am now almost 15 years retired I can't help but wonder where I would be if I could have stayed in (medically retired here) I wanted a career for sure, so I would do it again. I love the Army, but if I were to do it again, I would probably become a Navy Guy. My dad was a medic in the Navy, and we like to rib each other about how our perspective branches were superior to the other, but at the end of the day, I think working on an Aircraft Carrier would have made me just as happy.

Absolutely no doubt would do it all over again in the same job.

Took a different path, but had I been able, would have stayed for 30.

I would still have joined the Marines without a second thought. I am proud I served and earned the title of United States Marine. Things weren't perfect but it all worked out for the best in the end. I never went in intending on making it a career. I wanted the educational benefits.
