Neat video.  Spent some time reflecting after watching it.  I'm not a regrets guy.  I was raised to be deliberate and consider the big decisions in life and then go for it.  I've made comments on other people threads praising what I saw as an "all in" move.  That's the way I have lived my life.  In my opinion a lot of people exist and let life go on around them.  If it works for them, then great.  I think that many people like that end up with regret.

I had the best time ever in high school.  Great friends, great adventures.  Even though I was at best a "fleet average" football player I played my heart out and was part of a team that got my high school into the state champ playoff for the first time ever in the high schools 20 some year history.

I was somewhat more serious and focused in college and in the office training pipeline.  I had a dream of flying off aircraft carriers and I achieved that and lived that life for many years.  Served with amazing patriotic people and accomplished incredible things. 

I made and "all in" move to love 1 woman with all my heart and I'm a Dad to 8 wonderful children.  While that marital relationship certainly looks challenging at the moment, nothing about that brings up regret.

As I've aged some my abilities are quite a bit lower (I'm disabled) than they were when I joined the service.  It is, what it is.  I don't regret it at all. 

I like this post.  Would encourage everyone to dream about their life and take a step towards those dreams, then take another, next thing you know, you will be there.
