    My dad was a professor at the Naval Academy and always pushed me to attend. Wish I'd have listened.
    No regrets. Life's been good.

    I've thought about going back to school and doing the Troops to Teachers program. Honestly though, I think I'd end up beating the shit out of one of those little ungrateful basterds. So I think I have decided on Civil Engineering. My father is a civil engineer, my brother in law is a civil engineer, my cousin and his wife both are civil engineers, and own their own firms. So i figure what the hell, might as well follow the family footsteps.

    A start in the military. I tried 3 different branches (1st when I was 18, 2nd @ 20 & 3rd @ 23) and during processing, I've been diagnosed with "A"-Symptomatic Flat Feet which is a reason for MEPS to reject a person. Other than that... I am happy I pursued an LEO career and my 2nd choice would have been a FF.
