In reply to the discussion: What makes you decide to make a big life change? [View all]tinymontgomery
(2,584 posts)13. Big changes
Lots of small ones that lead to some big ones.
Married young and partying my ass off mid 70's. Marriage collapsed (due to being young and partying), 1st big change. Moved to LA and after a summer of working in a dead end job I enlisted in the Navy for 3 years to learn navigation, 2nd change. Navy turned into a career and I ended up earning a Commission and serving 23 years, marrying a wonderful woman and still together after 29 years.
2003 is last big change and it was due to G W Bush, retired from Navy and started second career.
