40: Looking back on a thousand Mondays passed

With 40 Mondays remaining, I have been reflecting on a thousand Mondays passed. 
I don’t usually look to the past. I try to focus on the way ahead. But 1,000 Mondays makes for a long history of service and commitment. It is hard to believe I have been in the military for that long. I have traveled around the world, met countless people, seen amazing things, and had experiences I would have never otherwise been afforded. 
I am ready for change and to transition out of the military but I wouldn’t trade the past for anything.
