18-21

then i can finnaly join the Marines

LMAO I like my age now, my too old to be young, and too young to be old.
The middle is good.

22-28. So far they've been the best years of my life.

You didn't provide a space saying you wouldn't change your age even if you could.

From ages 1 to 16 I did nothing of note (as most children are guilty of doing - other than dropping out of school at age 16 years 11 months).

At age 17, I joined the Army, got my GED and very shortly thereafter, I went to Vietnam.

Between ages 24 and 31 I was married twice ... divorced once .. lost one child (son) ... buried my father ... and had one child (son) ... re-joined the military (Navy).

31 to 48 Served in the Navy ... was divorced for the second time ... married my third wife ... became a grandfather twice (son) ... found a step daughter that was lost for 30 years ... found two more grandchildren (girl & boy).

48 to present (and still going) ... retired from the Navy in 1992 ... moved back to my home state ... established a home ... buried my mother ...

My wife and I will shortly celebrate 25 years of marriage ... AND I WOULD NOT TRADE IT ALL IN TO BE YOUNG AGAIN.

Yes there has been sadness, nightmares, medical problems and suffering ... but ... I am presently the sum of my experiences and I would in no way change any of my youthful decisions ... to do so would change my personal history and to be honest, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD LOSE THE JOY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN OR THE JOY OF MY MARRIAGE.

yeah, sounds very nice ^_^ except that i dont know the feeling of having children and grandchildren, marrying etc etc.. but who knows

Who knows, Mighty? Someday you'll be typing the same message, but you will be talking directly to a room full of holographic users.
