    Nah.  I mean, why mess with perfection?

      But I’ve compiled all these reports about you that state otherwise . . .

      What about all the incriminating photos and videos? I was told there’s not even a statute of limitations on them.

  • It's almost some sort of sick obsession.  I'm always wanting to fresh start my way into some sort of change.

      Stolen answer, Article 15.

      There have been many chapters in my life when that has been necessary. Here are just a few of them:


    Transitioning from an 18-year-old civilian fresh out of high school and very little life experience to US Marine.

    Transitioning from single man to married man.

    Transitioning to fatherhood.

    Transitioning from active duty service back to civilian life (however, we have a saying: you can take the man out of the Marine Corps, but you can’t take the Marine Corps out of the man).

    Transitioning last year from a lifetime as a raging workaholic to mandatory early retirement during a COVID-restricted world.

      Well, maybe I should detract that write-up for the Article 15.  (Grrrrrrr.)
