Well shit, now I actually have to go back and make sure I didn't exagerate any of my tales from my days as a banana-bender. :-)
*chuckles* No worries on that account tho. I grew out of talking a lot of BS that year. Mostly because I actually HAD experiences worth talking about after that year.
I STILL have a scar from those games of Jury Volleyball.
well.....far be it for me to let any facts get in the way of a good antipodean story.. :-) i'll nod my head on all of em' and no one will know the differance unless frank tracks us down..
you were heading to the marines from memory..am i correct? i was going to join the air force and was well on the way till i found my first punk band.. i never looked back. those volleyball games i avoided on account of not wanting to damage my good looks..
i'd love to read your accounts... twas' a hell of a year.
Decided against the marines in favour of the army. Mostly because the rest of my "posse" were going in as well.
The first of us who joined managed to get a "buddy-fuck" stripe due to us enlisting with him as our "sponsor". So he went in as an E-2 while the rest of us went in as E-1.
And wouldn't you know it? The ONLY time any of us were stationed together was during AIT when two of us were in the same company but not in the same class or rotation.
