I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT
Damn!!! Time flies when you were having fun. Fifty years ago today I was at MEPPS Jacksonville, Fl. eating my last breakfast as a snot nose kid.

I think I would follow the same path that led me to SF.

I was first in the door at MEPS and the last to leave with an 11x ABN/Opt40 contract. I'll never forget the "duck walk" or the stack of papers I had to fill out. Something tells me this isn't the last I have seen of paper work.

CONGRATS ON YOUR ANNIVERSERY! I guess this would be 51 years(been reading old forums).
