Do you wish, or have you ever wished, that you could go back and be a civilian again?

No.
You cannot close Pandora's Box. You cannot unlearn what is learned, you can choose to forget, but the things we have learned should not be forgotten.
Someday, I will be a retired serviceman, but I will never be a civilian, the habits that I have acquired , the things I have learned will not die, nor would I would them to. I will take it as a matter of pride that when I am 70, it will be evident that I stood up for the civilians when they would or could not.

There were several occasions where I would have preferred being a civilian. Cleaning clover leafs on ship, stirring shit pots, scooping overloaded and clogged toilets by trash bag covered hands and when dodging poo flake fall out from the burning shit pots.

I remember wishing that I could go back to being a civilian; when I was making my bed, as a Squad Leader.
