I just read through some posts on this site, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I remember the "strip search" and the questionaire they asked me. "Have you ever had sex with animals?" I was horrified. Oh, and being introduced to the group while someone had the back of my pants. Seeing all the kids with the arms in the air going wild, I thought I walked into some epileptic circus. I remember thinking to myself "OH SHIT" I never made it out of phase 1, hell I didnt even get T&R. I "copped out" just after christmas, jumped from a bus and thumbed to my "druggie friends" house. My parents sent me back the next day when they found me. Friday night review was all about me! I'll never forget sitting in Friday night review, and I got my period. I was in white cotton pants. I sat there with my hand extended waiting for some 5th phaser to come up to me. After about an hour of waiting, meanwhile bleeding, a 5th phaser askes me what my problem is. I tell her "I have my period and need to use the bathroom" Well, that bitch stood me up in the middle of review and gave me a verbal beating. I had such NERVE to ask to use the bathroom during a review. After about 30 mins of that, they let me go, but made me sit in the soiled underwear and pants for the rest of the night. It was so humiliating. I'll never forget it. I'd love to see some of those 5th phasers now.
Well, this is a great site, and thanks for letting me share.
PS Does anyone have serious back problems from the CONSTANT dragging of knuckles down their spine??
