Why would it be a necessity?So many people say getting married is something that's almost considered a necessity yet I have numerous friends/acquaintances that say don't do it.
Would you mind briefly elaborating?

I regret trusting a few farts.
Nope, when I moved out and into base housing I found them homes. I would have found one for the mamma but I think the owner figured out what might be happening and took her somewhere. I initially named them Moe, Larry, and Curly but had to change Moe's name to Jake. Lol, my man didn't know what to do every time I said "NO" to any of the dogs. I haven't had another dog until 8 weeks ago when we got a Dutch Shepherd puppy. My wife made fun of me and asked if we should name him Moe. If you ask anyone but me, she's kinda funny.Damn man... Brutal!
Did it the dog/puppy die?
If I have one regret, it's not being very driven in high school. I should have joined ROTC, gotten into the Air Force Academy, and I'd probably be a fighter pilot with a rank of Major or Lt. Colonel right now. Instead, I skated through high school, went to a small college and got a degree in a major I honestly don't give a shit about, and then enlisted in the Air Force as an aircraft maintainer.
That being said, I don't think I'd change it because if I were a pilot in the AF right now, I'd probably have multiple divorces or be married to some gold-digging dependa right now instead of my awesome wife. I'd probably be stationed in some shithole too, rather than living in SLC, which I love, working in the UT Air National Guard full-time, which I also love. I've made a good life for myself and I wouldn't want to change that.
Yeah, that's a tough one. Started around that age and was able to break it 10 years later. Haven't bought a pack in 2 years.Probably Picking up smoking at 16 and failing quitting smoking.

It was extremely competitive at the time and would have potentially taken up to a couple of years for me to get accepted. The reason was because with a degree in psychology, I was only eligible for a limited number of jobs. Mostly flying jobs. However, I had zero experience flying a plane, so I wasn't a strong candidate. I also wasn't a strong candidate for maintenance officer, as most of them actually are former enlisted. Having experience as an enlisted aircraft maintainer is actually a big advantage if you want to become a maintenance officer.You enlisted in the AF after you got a college degree? Why enlist vs becoming an officer?

Like anyone, I personally have a few things I would like a do-over on but the biggest regrets I have is putting too much faith in others only to get completely screwed by them. Many people are so incredibly shady and greedy that at 33 years old I don't feel the need to let anyone else into my life closer than arm's length away. The good news is that the (relatively) small group of people I have closer than that have all proven trustworthy.
I've been married for 2.5 months so take this with a grain of salt but unless you are absolutely, unequivocally 100% sure of marriage with a particular woman, don't do it. If there are any concerns (other than the very smallest) it will only get worse and you shouldn't consider marriage.
Don't get me wrong, I love my wife immensely and want to be with her forever, I just don't think marriage was necessary. She thought it was. Even though it was 17 months from proposal to wedding day, the wedding planning was an absolute nightmare - basically she couldn't make up her mind on lots of things and expected me to help with planning/arranging things, but I wasn't given the power to make decisions. Given that I didn't think marriage is necessary, nevermind a wasteful/stressful wedding, I'm sure you can see how well the planning went. (The upside to that is that the wedding day itself was great, since everything was taken care of we got to go to the gun range in the morning, the weather was beautiful for outdoor ceremony and everything went as it was supposed to during the ceremony/dinner/reception.)
Not only that, she totally went through a period of "post wedding letdown" which lasted about a month - it's a real thing, read up on it. She's been much happier the last 6 weeks but what should have been a great first month of marriage was actually pretty awful.
Now, 2.5 months later with all the wedding bills paid and thank you's sent we can focus on our life together without the giant distraction known as a wedding.
I've been married 20yrs and I still remember going through all that and hating it. So much drama and stress. "I don't care, you decide" was the most heard thing out of my mouth for a year. I hope to convince my daughter to have a small wedding - like 20 people small, not the 150+ blowout we had.
You could have bought this from Travis?
