re: If you could go back to 18, would you do it? What life choices would you change?

I would stop smoking. At age 42 had a triple bypass and ever time I see a young person smoking I want to show them my scars and let them hear me trying to breathe after walking for 2 to 3 minutes.

Ps if you can hear me from on top of this soap box.
STOP SMOKING I put my family through hell that I would not Wish on anyone

I don't think I'd change anything. I could have done better in college and gotten a "better" degree, but in my situation, I worked the job I needed to work after college completely unrelated to my degree. Now, I'm doing something very different. On one hand, I wish I had started my current job sooner, but I also think I may have lacked maturity and discipline to do it. All in all, I've got no regrets. I had a good time in college, and I still have a good time with a wife and offspring.

Don't think I'd wanna go back to 18 year old Belly, to answer the question.

The normal answer would be yes and proceed to do things differently. But sadly, I’ve known people who took a course very similar to one I would like to have taken. They are now gone or not doing well. Ole Elder Tiger is still kicking and living a good life, so I don’t know if a different journey would have resulted in a better destination.

If I could end up with my current situation. I would not marry my first wife I had and I wouldve done 20 in the Corps. I look back on getting out after 8 years and I regret it all the time.
