Login & Share to Win! Given the chance to travel back in time, what advice are you giving yourself?

Never get married when you are a enlisted Marine

Read everything, gather as many educational tools as you can, do not be afraid of asking, if you don’t ask, you can not ever get a “yes”. Buckle up-it probably will be a rough ride. Probably hurt at times!

Stay single until I retired.

I would not change my decision to complete my military career, as it has given me many opportunities for different employment, once I had retired. I learned so much during my tenure with the Army, and it has helped me to compete with the knowledge currently being used in the outside world. I stay ahead of the game! And now that I'm happily retired and enjoying life, this would be a great advantage had I knew back then. Would have made some helpful additional decisions.

Save money, don’t get married, learn at least three languages, keep playing the piano, don’t miss a day of fresh air and exercise!

Perhaps, but probably not. Our experiences both good and bad shape who we are.

Take the high ground. Make the enemy climb up to you!

Pursue YOUR dreams, not ANYONE else's.

The advice I will give myself prior to time travel back in time would be to remain cautious about peers, superiors and subordinates; know who stands with you and who is merely with you for the time being; know your Teammates. I would be careful of extreme weather along the way, like toxic leaderships and dangerous threats. I will learn listen, comprehend and then, tackle issues of destructive nature. keeping the equilibrium of the Sine wave of life, I will manage the peaks and valleys properly.

I would have stayed for twenty at least.proud to have served
