^This.

People can and do change all the time. No better time to change than the present. In fact, everyone should always be changing, because if you aren't getting better, than you are getting worse. Maybe you have come a long way from where you were when you went UA, but that doesn't mean you should end there.

Those offering advice on this board want nothing more than for you (or anyone else who may read this) to be the best Soldier, Airmen, Sailor, Marine possible. They won't coddle you, but they will walk along side you as you grow, offering advice and mentorship. Read old threads on here, you will see that those who go the farthest are the ones who take what is said and run with it. The diverse background here has been around the block once or twice, have a lot, and have dealt with plenty of 18 year old Private's who have done some incredibly dumb things. By seeking out their guidance, that's a great start. However, you should have been forthright about everything from the beginning. Forcing them to get that information out of you (without know who you are) results in people putting you on the shit bag pedestal. First impressions should not be a lasting impression, but it is usually very difficult to overcome that stigma.

I wish you nothing but success and being the person who you want to be.
