I would have ended up working as a web designer and developer full time and would have probably be even better than I was at it.

Definitely something information technology like web developer or help desk something like that

You got it. Thanks for asking the question. So it is besides the point now becuase this wretch has been found. So when we going to get us Veterans unified and start talking about the real issues like the elected officials infringing on our Constitutional rights. We need to get the Veteran voice out front and center. Let this country and the people who live here know what we fight for.

I would probably be dead, honestly. My last job before I joined was (unbeknownst to me) a drug front. They got shut down while I was in basic. There is very low probability I would have avoided being swept up, so I likely would have ended up in jail with a record. Which would have cut out most career prospects. I had already failed out of college, so that avenue was likely over for me, too.

Having a history of depression (which came back in a big way in my 40s), no prospects, no purpose, and no discipline? I would likely have met an early grave through either suicide or stupidity.

Having Grown Up Around The Chesapeake Bay And Working The Water As A Kid , I Probably Would Have Continued Doing That.
I Did Become A Merchant Marine Between My Hitch In The Marines And The Army.
I Still Love The Smell And Being Around Salt Water.
