I know I wasn’t and ran away from home when I was very young to join the military. My mom still brings that up.
I'd hope that she brings that up proudly. If not, I hope my pride in you helps. I like that it is a requirement in Israel, and they have a very low incidence of depression and teen suicide. I gather they are expected to defend their homeland rather than set out to 'conquer' everybody else's. There's too many people trying to destroy them to bother with self-destruction, I suppose. I also like the bar/bat mitzvah's where one is officially considered, and expected to take the responsibility of, an adult. There are no perpetual Teenie boppers there.

This response brought tears to my eyes. Seriously, don’t do that. I’m just an old hag looking back at my life which didn’t turn out the perfect way.

But, thanks for your kind words. They meant the world to me.❤️

Darn, now I can’t stop crying.

Are you kidding? All of that attitude will definitely come in useful someday!

I was young when I joined the military too.
I remember being sixteen casting about wondering what it was all about and thinking maybe joining
the military would help provide direction and answers? But that was not where I ended up after all...
 
This is how I see myself in old age...

.... I should probably get started on that. :unsure:

I'm sure that you ended up in the place that was just right for you.
 
Anybody remember when Barry Goldwater ran for president?
I voted for him in 1964.
I remember him, but I was only 10 at that time.... my dad ran for Congress against George Mahon during that time frame... can't recall if it was 62 or 64....

You know your old when you do foolish things.
Went shopping today and got angry when the clicker that unlocks my Jeep would not unlock my front door.:confused:
