I would have ETS'ed after my second enlistment instead of after my third. Saved more money. Saw more of Korea than just the bottom of a Soju bottle lol.

Not married my first wife. Took advantage of Tuition Assistance. Wish they had TSP earlier on in my career.

saved more money, gone to more schools and volunteered for a couple different assignments that I hedged one way or the other on and opted to not do.

Definitely have tried to save more money, it's tough because of the "live for the moment" culture shoved down our throats every day.
