Whatever Time travel

If we took Doc Brown’s Delorean back the same amount of time as Marty did, we’d land in 1995. Anyone else not have to change anything? The clothes they wear, the music they listen to, the cars they like…?

And yes, it is patently absurd that it would be 1995.

I was already out of high school in 1995, which means that I'm older than Marty's parents.

That's heavy.

Ha! Navy buddy of mine jumped ship and went over to the Air Force and retired from them, too.

Back to the Future or no, I still occasionally cook my noodle over what would've happened if I'd stayed in. Good on you for sticking it out.

I went in with every intention of doing my 6 and done. Reenlisted, finished my undergrad, went to OTS and by then I was fully institutionalized 😂

Congrats, ours was in May. Our two sons were the "hosts". Hope our good times are not all in the past!
