I was getting long in the tooth and my life was stagnant, going nowhere. I had done nothing with my life and was in the same position before I left that I was in 10+ years ago. I figured it was time to do something and get things in gear before it was too late. The Navy's old recruiting slogan was "Accelerate your life" and that pretty much sums it up for me.
My division graduated today, saw the pics online and must admit I was pretty sad since I wasn't able to be there with them. Hopefully by the end of next year I'll be either a sailor or a soldier, we'll see.
