Afternoon all.

 You know when you are sitting at home, thinking about the past... wondering whether its all been worth it... not really in a negative way. just wondering what would have happened if you had done things differently?

 Ive been doing this a lot lately. dont know why... im very happy with my life to date, minus a few little discrepancies, and a few major stuff ups. Im happily married. contemplating the possibility of having children all that happy life stuff. 

I constantly wonder what would have happened if i hadnt joined the ADF, would i have gone to uni, or would i still be working a dead end job in some pokey little town in the middle of nowhere.

what would have happened if i had finished year 12 instead of being young and stupid and leaving at year 10. would i have a degree, where would i be.

What would have happened if i hadnt married my wife. if i had just walked the other way instead of sitting next to her on the bus. instead of sticking it out when things got tough.

And you know, after thinking all these things it has finally occured to me that i dont care what would have happened. I am a qualified avionics technician, making 60k a year. married to a beautiful woman who was silly enough to marry me (I love you baby). I really couldnt have made any better decisions.

My parents think im a lower form of life because i am in the ADF. they are very anti war. they wont talk to me. they think i am a madman who joined to kill people, which couldnt be further from the truth. i joined to make money and get a trade. and ive done that. im secure in a job i love. and there are no prospects of me going overseas into any sort of conflict. so i dont think i could have done things any better. 

Im kind of rambling a bit but who cares. this website isnt called makingapoint.com

keep smiling all. I am.
