If there was anything different that you could have done throughout the course of your military career, what would that have been?

Tons!
First, i wouldn't have put off getting my CCAF.
I would have done more working out earlier in my career.
I would have applied for a 1 year deployment.
I would have not let my (at the time) current relationships effect my career opportunities.
And I would have enlisted under a different job.
Those are just the top 5. LOL.

In all nothing. I've made plenty of mistakes and have regrets but the choices I've made have given me experiences and led to who I am. Every step leads somewhere but it's the end result that matters. If I had gone active first I may have never learned my about my passion for medicine, thus leaving me without my current goal of becoming a PA. One of my regrets but at the same time a life lesson. Same as my experience about Jody. Though during those "corrective punishment" times I regretted a lot during those moments. Glad they happened because I learned from them but at the time I wasn't too glad about it.

When they asked for volunteers to be Dog Handlers, I did not volunteer. I wish I would have.

Gone EOD earlier in my career, not wait 7 and a half years to do it.

I should have picked orders to Japan. At least once.

I would have listened more to my Chief!

Not a Damn Thing. So Grateful for not being able to enter the Army due to being to thin. Grateful that I joined the Navy and was talked out of Radioman and into Cryptologic Technician Communications. Only thing Cooler than being 007 is being his Personal Communicator. LOL!

To be terribly honest with myself and answering this question is Yes, I would not have stayed so long as a Drug Investigator that was a Military Police Investigator who was attached to local CID Office and conducted both reactive and proactive investigations. I really enjoyed the work but after playing this game for 4 years and both state side and overseas, I have to admit I lost track who I was, and that caused me to forget what I was and the oath I took as an MP. Absolutely no one could see, or wanted to see that what was happening to me. I sincerely believe that live a life where everything I did was basicly on duty, never an off day. No matter where I was what I was doing someone was offering me a piece of crimnal activity and I was always thought all crime needed investigation till it came to resolution.
All this being said, even now I miss the riding around in a patrol car. Being a Policer Officer even know is my favorite job and if I was rich enough I wouldn't need the pay, I would actually do it for free. I even had a chance to do this in Tombstone and I was happy to do it.

I served 3 years in field artillery Fire Direction Control ('75-'78) and often wish I had re-upped and tried out for Special Forces. I got out and went to school on the GI Bill instead. Although my path has not always been ideal, I have no regrets about where I am now.

Great question! I would have stayed away from negative people and finished the Special Forces Course, having completed their Advance International Morse Code course (AIMC) and SFAS, but I was too busy partying and chasing... Well you get the picture. I have always wanted to go SF, considering many of my friends are, but I let negative peer pressure get to me... The best thing that happened too SF was that I didn't graduate, in that at the time, I was to immature for being on a discipline SF team...
