If someone asked what could you have done differently in your military career, what would you have chosen?

Knowing what I know now I would have taken that baseball scholarship.

Would of re-uped and done my 20, 3 diferant services . 8 years service

I would have taken orders over seas sooner and staayed in Italy longer when I got there.

I would have listened to my friends and not married my ex-wife. Then after marrying her, I got out of the service because she didn't want me to take an assignment at reenlistment time. Hind sight is always 20/15 or better. I did finish with 21 years of service, but my break's in service hurt my advancement, but I did find a fine wife who supported my military service.

I would have pursued my education earlier, I did complete a bachelor's in Healthcare Administration but over 20 years I could have had a double doctorate.

Only do 20 years instead of 25. Those last five years really destroyed my health. Lot harder being a grunt and door kicker at 42, instead of 22.

Definitely would not have gotten married!

Never cop an attitude with anyone E-1 to O-10. You never know who could still have your 6 after you get out

I really did not have a military career just a three year enlistment but things at home kept me from reenlisting as was my plan,I actually liked Army life,probably better for me in the long run as my chosen profession would have put me in situations where such things as life expectancy was not altogether a sure thing,still regret it though.

Joined sooner.
