I was talking to an old friend on the phone tonight, he was filling me in on the old gang from our wilder, younger, and VERY STUPID days of our mispent youth.
For the most part, everyone seemed to straighten up and are doing well.
Of course there were a few suprises, like the fact that one person has become a baptist preacher. What makes this so funny is that this guy would go to any length to avoid church.
One of the girls we ran with took the vows to become a nun.
One guy died in Desert Storm, aka the first gulf war.
One is in military prison for life, at Fort Leavenworth KS. From what I gathered he snapped while in the navy and tried to strangle a chief petty officer. Personally, considering the fact he was one of the gang that had one of the shortest tempers I have ever seen, it dont really suprise me much.
A couple, like my friend got married, settled down and turned into respectable members of society.
The one that has really shocked me was Tracy. This was the girl that didnt take crap from no body.
You want to know what the shocker is? She married an abusive SOB who has managed to break most of the bones in her body and she keeps going back to the idiot. This is the girl that broke my nose when I made a pass at her once. (hey, I was drunk, she was drunk, and well....)
I am at a loss as to why she puts up with this guy. She joined the army when I did, served two four year terms as an MP. Now I really want to know what happened to her.
