Stay in until retirement, whether active or reserves.

I worked hard, but never saved. Next time I would save a fixed percentage of my income and never touch it until it was enough to invest in the many opportunities that came up with the advancement of technology. I would also pursue a career in bass fishing now that I know how to secure sponsors. I teach my kids to do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. They are both successful and happy in their careers.

Find my husband before he went to Vietnam and marry him ASAFP.

Save more and be better prepared for retirement.

Pack shit paper

Always have a career contingency plan. My plan all along was to stay on active duty until I retired. That changed when I was passed over for promotion and found myself leaving the Army 10 years before I expected to with no plan on what I would do next.

The BS and Mickey Mouse are pervasive and will wear you down if you allow it. Don't seek relief in a bottle. Talk to the chaplain/chaplain's assistants, attend services, and participate with your faith-oriented brothers and sisters in arms.

Stay in and serve.

Make better decisions

Spend more time learning the Bible and applying the knowledge to my life
