When my mother died 7 years ago.
Still hurts to this day.

After she died, my life changed drastically.
Let me rephrase that, I changed my life drastically.

My wife(who went through this with me) saw a huge change in my over all attitude towards life.

Birth of my sons, ages 6,&2.

Father telling me he was divorcing my mother and moving out, when I was 12.

Getting married, too young, didn't even know myself yet.

My wife deciding to divorce me, accepting that.
Telling my wife that I would give our relationship one more shot, but telling her that I was not going to change into someone else, I was who I was, and I liked myself.

My relationship with my wife after getting back together with her. guns7.62

I can't point to one single event but I do have a few that made major changes in my life.

-When I met my wife. I dated her for 10 years before we got married. We have never been apart. She is a remarkable woman to put up with me.

-When I was in my mid-twenties, I defended my life with a gun. (Thank God I didn't need to pull the trigger.)

-When my daughter was born. I didn't believe in love at first sight... I do now. Every decision I make I think of how it will affect her.

when i realized 95% of the dolts in my school are worthless and one day i will be paying thier wellfare. also most of them have no idea what the real world is like( being they have lived in a town of 1000 people their whole life). t realized i like in a bubble town which is shrouded from all happenings in the normal world. i realized this small town sucks and i cant stand it. this has made me a VERY diffrent person onver the last 2 years, i think of it as a revalation.

Watching a draft dodger live in the White House, while veterans who fought for this nation slept in a park, under a bridge, under an overpass!

Basic training..........
It made me grow up.

Dang. My Dad leaving us when I was 12 was likely the pivotal one.
Oh yeah, when my wife got replaced with the evil twin. I'm trying to get the old one back.

Most of the rest has been good. Good friends as opposed to a lot of friends. Eight plus years in the Army-lotsa good friends, lotsa good times. Loved and been loved by two fine women. Birth of my sons. Life is pretty damn great, for the time being.

staring in horror at the cold blue hands of the corpse i was instructed to dissect. nothing has been the same since then.

(to all the vets who have posted here: thank you. no one in this nation should ever let a day go by that we do not thank you for the sacrifices you have made. we will never *ever* forget)

5 years old in a Grant's department store and my dad handed me a Daisy lever-action BB gun. I think they called it a beginners model, it was basically the same as the Red Ryder but with different furniture. I put the buttstock to my shoulder and have been hooked on weapons ever since.

1)Watching my Son's head come out and seeing a normal baby. Since I had a long run of bad luck, I was just breaking into normalcy by getting married. But when my Son was born, it was the most perfect thing I have ever seen on this earth. I became a positive person with a future again. BTW, my daughter's arrival 5 months ago did it all over again for me!

2) Getting laid off from the #2 position at work after 14 years. It has changed things, but I am still struggling with the solution.

3) My Dad beating Cancer and still going fishing with me.

Certainly an interesting topic...

I would have to say that for me, it was becoming wise to the whole guns/politics/freedom issue. I got into all this about two years ago, and my life as certainly changed. Though I am only 19, the burden of knowledge has made me become a somewhat bitter person.

I didn't think it sounded corny. I think I feel almost the same way you do. Only my Good Lord and Savior Jesus keeps me going.

Back when I was stationed in Da Nang with the 43rd Naval Refueling outfit. It was a normal day, drinking beer and grilling steaks, we were out sun bathing on the tarmac by the pool. All of a sudden a mortar rounds were coming in on our field. The unmistakeble sound of B40's whistling thru the air. Then the wacky ass gook's sputtering their language from afar as their AKs started rattling off rounds. Me and my tanning partner took up defensive postions behind some inflatable pool toys. The rounds were ricocheting off of our cover keeping us safe for the moment. Chuck was about to over run our position when I got a surge of adrenaline. I got up with my MAG248 machine gun, tripod and all and started ripping off a 659 round belt from the hip. Suffice it to say, I had 213 confirmed kills that dry, freezing, winter day in 'Nam.

Thats what got me.
