The Seed / Straight

after reading many straight testimonoies, it is obvious that The originator -- the Seed had a more powerful hold on the group. At seed there was a very strong beleif that staff, especially key ones were very wise. the truth is they were very smart, were by no means no dummies and many oldtimers were very smart too. . . at seeed there was more of respect for persons and no violence like the straighth stuff, but the mental and psychological hold was much, much stronger than straight . . .because you internalized the beleifs of a family, soul partners, "meant-to-be," destiny, unquestionable leadership, spiritual enlightenment, a real sense of "forever." Straight seemed more of an organization where the member could not question the system or philosophy, but did more often question the staff and lontime oldecomers. Seed was more a mission in loyalty. just thoughts

Boy , do I wish I could have gone to that sweet sounding seed you were describing. I never thought of them as smart. I thought of them as the enemy. i had no respect for them. None of them were  any better than me, in fact many were much worse. I had plenty of fear. they controlled when I got off the front row and if I got sent back. if you were there you will understand that. They controlled who you got sent home with, also very important. We were not allowed to leave any food on our plates even when we were eating green hot dogs. WE were made to exercise in extreme heat and then given a tiny dixie cup with a few ice chips. Many nights my moral inventory did not suit my old comer so i was not allowed to sleep. the bruising and bleeding on my tail bone from sit ups on the concrete, the continuous sick stomach from the stress and food, the rash i developed that left blood stains on all my shirts  no I guess they did'nt inflict them on me but they hurt none the less. Also, when we got out many of our lives were changed forever. I have 2 grown sons now and I don't care how bad they got I WOULD NEVER DUMP THEM IN A HELL HOLE LIKE THAT.

Trucker, I have been thinking about your question. First you have to understand I was 16 going on 17 back then . I was also very much in love. My parents said if I still felt the same way they would consent to me marrying him. OF course they did not think it would happen that way. He was 8 and a half years older than me and it had to be puppy love. While I was there I endured and had fantasies of being rescued. It was by far the hardest thing I ever went thru.I still deal with the aftermath however I can say that this past May was my 31st wedding anniversary with that same man. So since I have no contact with any old friends and only one family member I am sure he was a factor in my survival.

boot camp my ass.

In boot camp, your parents are on your side.

In boot camp, you are allowed to have friends.

In boot camp, they actually feed you and let you sleep.

In boot camp, aw fuck it...believe what you wanna believe.
