Now that I’m 42 I wish I had joined the military when I was 18 and I’m far wiser than I was when I was 18.

Same here - my biggest regret in life at the age of 50 is that I didn’t serve in the military.

42 years,2 weeks and 2 days ago I met Ssgt Browne, and Sgt Bowser my two senior D.I.s at USMC Recruit Depot San Diego. It was a “life” changing experience that made me a better man for it. HOORAH MARINES, GET SOME.

Me too. There’s lots of things I regret in life, but one of my disappoints and perceived failures is not having joined the military when I had the opportunity. Now I have asthma and they won’t take me (which is BS IMHO).

Hmmm.

Why didn't you join at 35 or when you became wiser?
