Bucket List !

[Captain of the Double G's]

I am studying for a captains license, wanted one at 16 yrs old, never got it.
Thought it would be special if I got it now ( at 60+ years ). I probably will not do
anything with it but knowing I have it sounds priceless.
Would like to know every ones thoughts on what they would do
if they had the opportunity to do it, or do it over , what would you have done.
Me, I would have joined the Coast Guard at 18 ( Vietnam war not really ended)
and said " put me on a boat, I do not care if I have to clean toilets "
OK, I probably would skip the toilet thing, but you know its in the mix

First off, go for it, I love to see old guys doing stuff. I wish I had known at 18 just what a wildlife biologist did and what the schooling was like. At 64, I don't see it, but I wish I had gone to college. I listen to a podcast every week called Wild Turkey Science, makes me realise I missed my calling.

There are a lot of things I wish I would have done differently but I have no regrets.
I would go for it if you have the time. If nothing else you gain a ton of knowledge to share with others.

I say go for it
Got my 6pack license at 40 yro. Let it expire 10 years ago.

Life has been very good to me. If I knew back then what I know now, I’m not sure I’d change a thing… except maybe my first wife…lol
