I have always loved optical illusions.

OK confession time. I've dropped acid seven times in my life and actually only got off three of those times. I had a basement apartment in Frankfurt and there was a TV on the schranke against the wall across the one window where the sun always came in. I was sitting on the couch one day tripping my ass off and enjoying my high and I swear the TV got up and moved around and you could see where the wall behind the TV was darker because the sun had never hit it. Whoa. And yes this was before I re-enlisted and was a DAES in Kaiserslautern. I guess that you could say I had OJT experience as a drug counselor.Hahahaha.

Mat, we are always looking for drug counselors where I work.

Where I was stationed in Germany (Bremen), there were a lot of drugs, hash mainly. I was too chicken shit to try, so I stuck to the local beer, Becks.

Hash was always the old standby.Good Afghani or Lebanese.Aaah the good old days. I'm not a drug counseler. I'm over qualified.Haha.But this all comes back to the original post about the militaries screening procedures and how they deal with persons of shall we say questionable faculties. Back during Viet Nam they just took any body and taught them to shoot an M16. Christ, Judges used to pass sentence on thieves and molesters and give them a choice between 3 years in county lockup or 3 years in the Army. Gee I wonder what they chose. When you and I came up and became of age the world was at peace and the draft had been eliminated. We were idealistic and wanted to do something noble and make a paycheck. But although the times had changed the military didn't. Alot of those lowlifes were still in and now they had some rank and they were training us. And they were drunks and junkies. There a lot of fine soldiers in the Army but there are still some lowlifes and they need to be weeded out and the Army needs to re-vamp how they do some things.We are still the greatest nation on earth and we still have the best trained and best fed military(and everybody knows the military travels on it's stomach) in the world but there's always room for improvement. And I was never a big Becks fan. The beer in Frankfurt was Henninger. And they always had a fall brew.Doppelbock. Where they boiled out the kettles and brewed the sludge. Man that was some good beer.
