STUPID THINGS FOR STUPID REASONS

In the seventies I settled down to a factory job. I'd already taken the test and received my GED. In 1979, I enrolled in college. I took 3 classes, aced them all and was, in general, bored. My life was going nowhere. I was working at a catheter plant and going to school. I was ready for another stupid thing for a stupid reason.

I found an incredibly stupid thing to do with my life. At the bar one night, I was talking to a good looking guy in a uniform, (married unfortunately). He told me I could really go places in the army. He just didn't say that some of those place were not inhabited by humans. Having a sister in the marines, a sister in the air force, and a sister in the army, and wanting to do anything this hunk asked of me, I joined the army.
