I am gung ho. Kidding. when I met this guy in the seventh grade (he had gone to the same school first and second grade them moved to California for five years came back to the projects and same school I knew of them. pretty rough family. Anyway the first day of school I looked him already because we were seated alphabetically my name started with Ba****and his was Adkins,I finally had someone in front of me, the first day he said I'm going to join the Marines as soon as I turn 17 you want to join with me? Thinking I won't be 17 for 4 years and this will probably go away by then so I said yeah I'll join with you.
well we told everyone in the school and everyone in the projects. And we kept telling them. we went to different high schools for a while I was at a prove high school 9 thru 12. Around April we decided my money would be better spent somewhere else. So from all boy school to public school that had mini skirts on all the girls. Anyway it didn't go away. And now years of saying this time to put up our fight 3 times a day till I could remember to keep my mouth shut. He was two weeks older than me and chomping at the bit, so The night before my birthday the recruiter came to my house to get my mom's signature. The next morning I was at the federal building too my physical and written test and that evening I was standing at attention on Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot
Gawd it was hot. And ask we did was stand at attention till they went through everyone's paper work . My buddy almost passed out. another guy did I'm sure his nose was broken from hitting that table on his way down. That's alright he was a bed wetter and was sent home in a week or so.
