That is an interesting question. There are many things that I might be tempted to redo given the chance, but I'm very happy with my life today. Any change of any kind might prevent the ultimate conclusions that I've reached. Even marrying the bride from hell had its purpose. I accomplished much in my brief military career (just 5.5 years active duty) and I wanted more. But my path to those accomplishments left many bruised egos in my wake and I was sent back to civilian life. Again, I might be tempted to make different decisions, avoided bruising those egos, but then I might not have accomplished what I did and still be sent packing. Who knows? Why take the chance? No, I made my bed. I'll lie in it...

I MUST Be One Of "The Worlds LUCKIEST S.O. B.'s To Ever Exist".
My First 14 Years SUCKED....
Then My Brother Came To The States To Visit Us And Asked If I'd Like Go Back To Panama With Him, .... And That Was For A Couple Of MONTHS Of Vacation Which Lasted THREE YEARS...
DUDE.? Ever See "Speed Travel Packing?..
My Butt Was Gone BEFORE I Left.
If I Even Told You 20% Of How Much Fun I Had, And The Quantity & Quality Of Their Education,
You'd HAVE To Call Me Me A "LIER", THEN Kill Me.!
As A Black Friend Of Mine Said:.
"RICK, You Lucky Bastard. You've Had MORE Fun Than ANY White Boy Should Be Allowed"
