There were two other young women (we were all teens to young adults) who were there because they had the choice of The Military or Prison. One had 20+ tattoos and was an accessory to murder when her Biker Boyfriend killed a cop. She washed out.
I forget what the other one’s crimes were, but they couldn’t have been minor offenses.
The people that make up this world can be down right terrifying!
The Army forced me onto drill sergeant status during my enlisted years. Ended up with many trainees who made me want to kick some recruiter butt. Being a former E-7 drill got me into flight school though so it was worth it.
i had a whole slew of boys in my high school class join the Marines instead of pulling the Go To Jail card. 1975.
(idiots all)
