Officer on death bed wishes he'd spent more time with his training schedule

ARLINGTON, Va. — Harking back to his long ago days on active duty, retired Army Maj. Todd Andrews said he wished he had spent more time with his unit's training schedule while he still had the time.

"So many opportunities lost in my youth," Andrews said. "I spent my whole life chasing these dreams of family and success, but it turns out true happiness was right there in front of me in the form of our division's long term training calendar.

"I wish I'd had the courage to look at my Microsoft Outlook calendar more often and 'reply all' to emails when I had the chance."
