NO REGERTS, MAN..... NO REGERTS!!
Which direction does she shoot?My favorite was a 106 recoiless rifle.
When she went off, everything vibrated, even the air.
She was more fun than a 1927 on full auto.
Our first (and last) date was in 1975 above Camp Horno.
She just sat there, not a movement, till we fed her and caressed her fire control mechanism.
But before that, we got to make sure she was pointing true.
A bolt action .50 BMG spotting rifle mounted on her tube.
One tracer round down range, hit a junk truck, immediately followed by the 106.
Then, orders to Comm Co. Oh well...
Still makes me shivver thinking about that gun.

I think you are a good father. You are still young, and your recognition of earlier shortcomings will keep you in your kids lives. In a good way.Well, since its for truth, justice and the American way....
I have a number of regrets, The biggest one is not being a better father.
Not that I think I was an awful father, But I had my boys too young. First one born when I was 19 third one born when I was 24. I did not really start to want to be a parent until most of the parenting was done.
Now I am in my mid 40's and realized what I missed out on. When they where young I was too busy doing other things to be dad. I dont think there is anything else in my life that I really dwell on, I have got over women and financial woes, I have made my fair share of big mistakes but as far as how I feel today even the really big ones dont effect my life. But missing out on my kids childhood's I regret, Seems like something reminds me daily about how bad I screwed that up and I beat myself up about it constantly. When I come home and sit in front of the computer the first thing that pops up is a 18 year old picture of my two youngest boys. It makes me smile and sad all at once.
My oldest boy died about 4 years ago, the younger two have lived 700 miles away from me since they where 3 and 5. The youngest two are now 21 and 23 and dont need a parent as much as I would like to be one but at least they talk to me and I get to be a small part of their lives.
If I could have a do over knowing what I know now I would give up everything else to simply be a good dad.
ROFL.........F-ing student loans.
Not applying to the CIA after I interviewed with them.
Not carving out 2 weeks of time off to go fly bush with my dad out of Nome Alaska.
Getting married my Junior year in college.....
does this thread have a character limit??

@clearconscienceMy dad worked for the CIA. It was a good job although he missed our entire lives from about 5 years old until I graduated high school.Now we have a terrible relationship and he's bat shart crazy.
He got to travel the world, but they own you.
I regret not just enjoying the alone time and getting in the woods more often when I was single.So many years wasted that I could have spent hunting, fishing, and exploring. Now with small children those days are extremely limited.But when my kids are old enough it will kick back in.And Mostly not taking care of my back!
I've had back pain for almost 15 years! And I'm only 34!
Abusing your body only gets you so far.
Not shaking my sack at more Obama supporters.
