When I wore a younger man's clothes I decided it would be cool to join the military. While those were the hardest years of my life they were probably the most rewarding as far as physical, mental and spiritual growth. The uniform was cool though. It made me feel like a fighting man.
I read books about history from time to time. I find in interesting that we really didn't have high schools before the 20th century. 12 year olds would become midshipmen on naval vessels, and practically learn to be a naval officer. 15 year olds like Thomas Jefferson, would go work with a lawyer, and be admitted to the bar by age 19. Same with teens working for physicians, and learning that trade.
I'll bet you looked real spiffy in a uniform
(I hope you don't mind)
An officer and a gentleman

I don't mind at all. Brings back a lot of memories. All of a sudden I feel younger and that's a cool thing.
I'm an old girl
Sometimes I think, I don't look too bad for my age
But then I look in the mirror
LOL

You're hot.
Sometimes I wonder about this woman. Like, does she
know this picture of her has become an internet meme?
I sometimes wish I had joined. I actually started the sign-up procedure with a recruiter once, but I chickened out at the last minute. I was signing up with my best friend... He ended up working in military intelligence, found his wife while stationed in Japan and loved what he was doing.
It's best to have no regrets my friend. If I had to do it over I would've stayed in college and made better career choices. I don't regret joining the military though. I wish I had stayed in and retired. If I did I probably wouldn't be working anymore. Hopefully just another year or two and then I'm done or perhaps one or two days a week at Walmart as a greeter passing out those little yellow smiley's.
As I ever increasingly approach the generally accepted age of retirement, people more and more ask me when I am going to stop working. I tell them that I cannot afford to retire, for I would starve to death if I did
Over the years I have multiple times looked for ways to cut down on my living expenses, but to no avail, since everything just keeps going up in price, while my wages barely budge. The vacancy rate is so low here, that even shoddy, poorly managed residences are about as expensive where I live under rent controls in one of the nicest neighborhoods of my city. Gas was close to $1.50 a liter the other day My cat refuses to go to work to contribute financially to the household expenses

You look fairly smashing in this uniform, also
(Thank you for being such a good sport
)
That reminds me, I used to be a cub scout 
Do they even have cub scouts any more? Or are they all boy scouts now?

You were a cub scout too? We should hang out.

I think that they merged with the Girl Scouts.

The funny thing is that I was just telling my wife that the cats don't care that I have to go to work, all they want is their food in the morning. They eat a better breakfast than I do. (jk)
. I call them little parasites 'cause that makes my wife laugh.
