Today is the 33 year anniversary of the first day of my first stint in JobCorps. Turner JCC in Albany, GA, to be exact.
If you'd have told me on that day that I'd have LIVED this long, muchless described all the things I would go through in the ensuing 3.3 decades, I'd have told you to put a bullet in me and get it over with.
Jobcorps literally changed my life. Not necessarily for the better, but it wasn't all bad, either. I had some good times and made some good friends, back then. Still, if given the informed choice, I would have chosen to be much closer to "normal" than I turned out. JobCorps, sad to say, was a big part of my 'abnormality' and maladjustment upon returning to society.
Still - THIRTY-THREE FRICKIN' YEARS?! Feels like it was just last week.
