the 70s? weLL, I got in on the tail end of the free sex thing, where you
could get laid for a joint. I miss the street racing too. I was the King
of Traverse in my 1969 dodge charger. Would outrun the cops all the time
just for sport. Back then they would just let you go if you were really
fast.( obviously they knew who I was) I used to race for $100.00 a gear.
Downtown. Never lost with that car. ( which I still have) WEED WAS
37.50 AN ounce, gas was 36.9, mucsle cars were cheap and parts were
plentiful, Women were willing and there were lots of them.

IM 8 I DONT KNOW WHAT GOS ON THERE

lol thank gawd we're not anymore eh ladies? lol

hi ellgee. I like youe new pic.

in our High school parking lot, you were only allowed to park in the
first two rows if you had a muscle car. Made the school photos more cool
looking I guess. I graduated in 79. Actually January 79, joined the
Marines on Feb. 14th.

traverse,lotta fun stuff there.talladaga you can get laid there just by
walking past the right rv.never know when a arm will reach out and drag
you in.lol

also my best friends dad owned the beer distributorship in town. We had
free refreshments all thru school. Pull in and pick out what we wanted.
no one cared back then what we took.

Happiness is skipping school in a muscle car full of hot bettys and
pot smoke rollin out the windows, with a trunk full of beer.

Rambill we have something in common.. I graduated in 79 also, but I
joined the Army *S*

tneal.. what was your MOS??

who sang king of the road? we burned ours with the windows closed.always
wondered if we couldnt see out because we fogged it that much or we was
just that buzzed.lol

...We went back in the woods one time and got blind drunk on Gin. had
to wait so I could see to drive.
Would come home after a long night of street racing.. and when I got
out of the car... would fall on my face. Too drunk to walk.

Rambill I was a 75C. They deleted that mos about 10 years ago though...
now there all 71L

i wasn't born til '76 so i can't tell you much about the 70's

whats that? I was a sniper, then I ended up on the silent drill team.
ever seen them?

got realy drunk alot of times.never was one to fall over tho.people just
couldnt wake me the next day.that is if i went to sleep.lol

the only action I saw was a guy put his bayonet clear thru his hand
during rifle practice. He finished the routine and then called for a
medic.

75C was a promotions specialist.... I had lots of friends *WEG* 71L is
just a company clerk, they do all the paperwork for the units...
promotions, POS, Finance etc....

Not sure what a silent team is... I love a good marine but never dated
one.... *S*

USMC silent drill team. Stationed at Marine corps barricks, Washington
DC. Also known as the "Commadants own." We traveled all over the country
putting on precision drill demonstrations. ... Silent because there are
no commands given during the entire routine. They are the coolest drill
team you will ever get to see. was very proud to be a part of it. Didnt
like crawling around in swamps like a snake anyway.

"...gas was 36.9..."

Shit, where did YOU live? I am from just outside Washington, DC, and
got my first car in '74. Gas was .50/gal where I grew up!

On the other hand, I turned 21 in '79, so I lived (and did my part) in
the FREE LOVE movement. Anything sexually contagious could be cured
with a pill and most of you cannot imagine that kind of freedom!

I was raised in a "cop" family, ran with and married a biker, went to
bluegrass festivals for the weekend whenever possible, and there was
always a party SOMEWHERE every night! Sometimes for fun, we'd cross the
river into Washington, DC and throw water baloons at hookers on 14th
Street for kicks, then try to hit the gas and get off that block before
"he/she" could kick off their heels and run us down for revenge. Life
was FUN!!!

On the downside, when my friends started dying in car wrecks and to
suicide, I had to face life's reality checks. I was there when a guy I
lived with was killed on his Harley ~ run down like a dog in the road by
a '66 Cadillac. It was my 18th birthday. Welcome to "AdultHood"

cept for herpes not cureable was it?
