Get better grades in High school, which you are quite capable of and then enter Officer Training School to become a pilot.

I would tell my younger self to stay away from alcohol and study for rank more seriously. Explore every duty stations local cultures and customs and engage with the people.

DO NOT marry my ex-wife!!

Go back to school

But into biomedical, into pharmaceutical companies and never ever beer on the mariners

Don't be afraid to make decisions you know are backed by sound research. Trust yourself more often. Bump your TSP a few percentage. Go to sickcall and make sure you document real issues (it will make the VA claim go much smoother).

Invest, invest and invest in life insurance, annuities and IRA’s! Military retirement isn’t enough!

Don't drink so much!

Save as much money as you could. Train harder. Remember that 1SG's and Commander's change, so don't be that pisses off lower enlisted Joe.

Grow up, don’t be an asshole, stay in, buy Microsoft and Amazon.
