Looking Back. Being in the service sort of reminds me of being in high school. It's something that you may have disliked at times and couldn't wait for it to end. But as I get older I look back at it so much more differently. The friends we made and the experiences we had were priceless. For most of us, it was the first time we were away from home and meeting people from different parts of the country. Yes, I look back on it now in a very special way. We were all so young and everything was brand new. We took it all so seriously and did a good job. There was a time that I could still fit into my uniforms (I still have them). That is no longer the case. Time changes almost everything, everything except the memories.
