A "bucket list" is a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Yesterday, I crossed another activity off of my bucket list and it got me to wondering what others have on their lists.

Bucket lists are ever-changing but as of now, here are my top 5 remaining to be done:

1) Plant a tree

2) See Antarctica

3) Get bucked off of a bronco

4) Attend a high school reunion

5) List 10 things that I'm grateful for, every day for one month

If you don't have a bucket list, I highly recommend creating one. It's motivational, fun, and can upgrade life's more mundane experiences.

Have you asked your branch manager if there's a slot in Antarctica for your skill level and/or MOS?
