<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Nothing. Everything that has happened to this point has made me who I am and put me where I am. I&#39;m not where I want to be but I&#39;m on my way...well...kinda.. Everyone wants a couple hundred mil in the bank, right? lol

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If one little thing was to be changed your whole life could/would be completely different. That could mean a different family, I could not accept that so I wouldn&#39;t change a thing.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ten things I&#39;d tell myself...<br /><br />1. Join the Navy earlier so that you can go to boot camp (Orlando) in the winter.<br /><br />2. Learn to type before you go in. That way you don&#39;t have to spend more than a week at admin school in lovely 3000 degree Merridian, Mississippi.<br /><br />3. Don&#39;t sweat the load about being top in your classes as the Navy&#39;s gonna send you where they want to send you anyway.<br /><br />4. When you go to take your submarine board, you forgot to ring the battle stations alarm.<br /><br />5. When you sneak your wife onboard, make sure she has no perfume on. DEAD GIVEAWAY... Also, as your wife is English and you&#39;re onboard an American sub, it&#39;s probably a good/great idea if she not say anything while onboard too...<br /><br />6. Having your expensive guitar onboard is not a great idea. Leave it at home.<br /><br />7. Don&#39;t buy that Ford Mustang. Save your money and get the Dodge Omni. <br /><br />8. You didn&#39;t lose that $200. It was stolen from you. Your locker was pried open. Leave it in the bank, dummy.<br /><br />9. Don&#39;t waste time with the college courses as they will be going away after your third patrol. And you won&#39;t get credit for them.<br /><br />10. You would have been command advanced if you&#39;d have been more amenable to the Master Chief.
