Stop in for a cup of coffee

Morning. Sitting here since the sun came up thinking about that day 11 years ago to the date where my knee blew out for the 3rd time and effectively ended my commissioning run. Some things just aren’t meant to be I suppose. Getting an E (excellent) rating in the first phase of OCS is nearly unheard of, though not impossible. Got that in land nav and tactical field leadership. Then 24 hours later, knee goes boom and I’m shipped home. What could have been?
