Take chances. Jump on every opportunity that crossed my path that I was either afraid or too cautious to take.

If I had to do it over again, hard one. But I would work on college courses and finish RN degree and apply for officer school. BUT what makes it hard is that I would not have met my first husband and had my 2 beautiful children that are adults and parents, doing great. In fact my son is a Marine, put in 2 years in Japan and 1 year in Okinawa, and 1 year in CA. He was third generation Veteran in my family.

I would advise myself to watch out for pitfalls like over use of alcohol and taking questionable shortcuts knowing the outcome will probably not be successful.

Do what I ended up doing for a living sooner. Not let the naysayers influence me.

Swim everyday while picking up the new MOS.

I would tell myself, don’t ever set “safe” goals. If a goal will not push you outside of your comfort zone, it is a waste of time. Set goals that push and stretch you, so you will be reshaped into the best version of yourself.
