I would do it all over again also, but with the realization that those amazing experiences can come at a steep cost to your family. While you may have the time of your life, sometimes your family pays for it. For years there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't wonder if the costant deployments/time away during Desert Storm of me and my spouse weren't the source of our sons social difficulties. However, till it's over, you don't know how it's going to shake out.
