Delay getting married, enlist sooner, follow my education goals, and buy property cheap.

Jim you have accomplished everything you wanted since you joined the service. You have served with and learned so much from a long line of distinguished and accomplished NCO's whom you now can call your friends. You have done well by following in their boot steps.

You graduated from your NCO advancement/Development courses way ahead of your peers and have received awards for doing so from your instructors and your family of NCO's. You do not brag. These accomplishments are fact. You graduated from the ARMY/NG Military Academy with honors twice. Once for your Primary NCO Course or PNOC and again for your Advance NCO Course or ANOC. This was unheard of back then.

You set goals for yourself that no one knew about. It showed in your service to others, your willingness to coach and teach others who didn't understand a subject matter that would surely make them drop the course. You spent hours at night teaching Land Nav/map reading with a plotting square and a flashlight to members of your training squad. You did this while another squad member helped you hone your skills at first aid and another helped you shine your boots which to this day you still suck at..............this was the way you helped your squad and they helped you graduate without leaving anyone behind.

I think I did OK, follow my lead Jim and enjoy the ride brother. Just remember to help when you can! Do more than you were asked to do. Say thank you for someone's opinion or knowledge. I have many to thank for my career..............I still do because I am still learning from you here on RP.

would have stayed single and stayed in Army!

Study study study and save for the future. Time flies by. Before you know it you are out of the service.

Reenlist, purchase Microsoft stock cheap, be a better friend

Enjoy life more. Dont be so serious all the time. Stay out of trouble, and rejoice in the Lord. Focus on making this world a better place.

Remember this is a once in a lifetime chance to make something special of your self as well as help others. If you stay in long enough you will see the world and get paid to do it, don’t give up.

Don't drink alcoholic drinks.
