Mears" To: Date: Sat 1 Sep 2001 17:04:11 -0500 ================================================ I think my regret is more of the "this really could have been my career" regret. I received orders to go to Turkey about two weeks before I was officially "chaptered out" (Chapter 14 (IIRC), Patterns of Misconduct). My first sergeant asked me if I wanted to accept the assignment and forego the chapter proceedings, and like the idiot that I was (and am), I basically said "Hell no, you wanted me out, now I'm leaving". Had I taken the orders, I think I'd still be in. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: ; Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2001 1:26 PM Subject: Re: WAS Re: NCR: ABSOLUTELY STUNNED - NOW Pointless teasing > My husband was a Marine, and he kinda did the same thing.
