Well, I don't think it had a whole lot to do with how you acted. I think it had more to do with how much time and money the parents were willing to spend coupled w/ whatever came out of the shit talkin sessions based, in part, on the 5th phase/trainee obs, cocs and other forms of gossip.

Least ways, I never thought it mattered much at the time.

Step 1. We came to understand that the government is powerless over people's private use of drugs and that the War on Drugs was making the government's life unmanageable.

rotten educations, rotten parents, no street smarts, no survival skills, plain old stupidity as well as mental shock and torture and bargaining, yes, that's it, you refused to bargain. you did not fear them, therefore, you did not bargain with them.

what did you think about?

I dont remember how long I was in Straight. I was misbehaving in the end. I think I was one of those very difficult misbehavors so they wanted to get rid of me quickly so I would not cause them anymore problems. Banging my head on the concrete and I would make my arms bleed all day. I was thinking about getting my medical records from the psyco ward they placed me into right after my stay at Straight. It would have the date, but they want me to pay $1 per page  :eek:

How many pages is it? Medical facilities are allowed to charge a "reasonable" fee. One dollar per page seems unreasonable. Don't they put a twenty dollar cap on that or something?

Ex-P, I just went back into my mind and detatched from the funhouse. I was brutal at the the building and the nicest guy ya ever met at the host home. I thought about the girl I was in love with, my YZ125, the .45 my Dad put under the Christmas tree for me (the staff really bitched that one up) and my friends. My MIs were often sketches of the group room w/plans for tomorrow or lyrics (usually Ozzy or Sabbath).

The two most important were thinking about my first girlfriend and how much I love her. Next was restraint; ie. If I fucked some mealy ass phaser up too badly(like crushing a windpipe with the frame of a blue chair), I go to DYS until I'm 18 or 21. It was a delicate balance that I managed to achieve. I often took the restraint on the floor as "the easy way out". I've used the same self-restraint to save my own  and a few other lives over time.

Now, I'm gonna jam Audioslave's "Doesn't Remind Me" and hope for a pleasant dream. Wish you the same. Jason

Allow me to enter this timely quote into discussion:

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."--Theodore Roosevelt

Too long.

11 months more or less...left on my 5th phase vacation.

I don't get it

Ours were like this:

90|45
60|80

Clockwise, 1,2,3,4 and, at the bottom, 5th phase. Who the hell ever did an MI after graduation? What's yours mean?

When I started as a federal narcotics agent, the budget that we were working with, it was less than $5 million a year, and there was only 125 agents for the entire world to work the narcotic trade that we were fighting in those days.  Times have changed.  The gluttony has grown.
