To try and lure us into the various officer cores the government
thought it would be a good idea to let us play with all of the good
toys and get us hooked. It is the oldest cliché in the drug game,
the first one's free. They started us out on the machine guns and
then we got to shoot some sniper rifles. That was pretty cool but I
had shot similar civilian guns so I was not sold. Then they let us
drive tanks, armored personal carriers and the Hummer which at the
time was a real military vehicle not some plastic looking knock-off
for high maintenance soccer moms to drive to Cafe Rio. We even got to
shoot sabot, small practice, rounds out of the tank which was pretty
cool. Then they got us in the helicopters and that is when I was
starting to get interested. We got in a troop transport model and the
pilot took us on a wild ride, it must have been just like what
Jasmine was feeling on her magic carpet ride that got her into bed
with a that street rat Aladdin. To be clear, I did not sleep with the
pilot. I was impressed by the speed and power of the equipment but I
cannot get over the mental hump I have witch is that when used to
their purpose they are for killing people whom are chosen by
politicians and if you sign up you do what you are told. I could not
get my heart and mind on board with that and even though I was
tempted it was not a career I could be comfortable with.
