I'm giving up drinking for the time being.
Our base commander (kind of like a mayor of a city, I guess) came to our school and gave our entire student body a lecture about the recent happenings on our base like underage [binge] drinking, stealing, breaking curfew, vandalism, [sexual] assault, production of underage pornography, drug use, the list goes on all including people from my high school. I know that I myself have partaken in a few of those, and I feel fucked-up just looking back on that.
I just imagined myself as the girl whose house was broken into, which was terribly vandalized, was urined on, and was a place for people to have sex and drink... all without her knowlege and done by her best friend. I can't believe people are still standing up for the people involved in that.
It's just ridiculous, and I'm ashamed to have been in the same school with those people, and I'm ashamed that that's what is represented by our military community--one that is supposed to have pride for helping our nation. It's a good thing they're getting kicked out of the country.
