JMO
1. Sustain your career.
2. List 10 places and bucket list things (skydiving) and do at least 7 of each.
3. Hopefully, you'll progress in your career.
4. Get a place condo, small house and never put anyone else's name on it.
5. Play the field, nobody should get married until they're in the mid 30's
6. You want someone to care for, get a dog much cheaper than wife and kids.
7. Easier still, get a cactus plant, and put a screensaver of a dog on your computer.
8. The right woman will come along and she'll want to keep her place too for the times that
you can't stand the sight of each other!
No bloody way would I think of doing it again! I'd rather grow old on my own then be bitched and nagged at to the point that I have to choose to use escorts and if I get caught, lose 1/2 of everything. Screw that!
I've met nice civilian women, christ gone on vacation with some, but 10 days holiday and upon return I need 5 days alone! Kids, I'm too old for kids! I like them, but I'm almost 43 and that would mean from 60-65 that I'm working to put them through school.
Screw that life is just fine as it is.
No Thanks!
