On this day, May 18th 1982, I left the United States Navy. I was so happy to leave that bunch of drug addicts and drunks behind. Reagan's no tolerance policy had not taken effect yet, in fact the officers were trying to cover up and work around. Faking tests and test results. How do I know? They ordered me to piss in a bottle three times to cover someone else. They didn't even try to hide it.

I hate naval officers. They will screw any enlisted for the sake of their commands appearance.

Unfortunately, that is true in education as well. It is easier to claim that all is well than it is to clean out the refuse that is ruining the system for those who are there to get an education.

Harry Truman died too on this date.

Didn't Drew Carey do a Truman movie?

Harry Carey? Mariah Carey?

It was one a them Cary folks.

I spent 6 years working in a high school. I never knew 90% of the kids. Those kids were left behind because the staff and principals were dealing with the other 10%. Why they tolerated them and didn't kick them out by the end of the first semester I will never understand. They poisoned the whole building with their funk it attitude and bad behavior. The other 90% had to deal with it too. It's a good thing even the military won't touch them.

Then you got a job in a prison. Care to explain that?

It's true in a lot of other organizations as well. Not so much in private business because the consequences of such stuff may bankrupt the business.

Simply, I'm the boss.

How many years did it take, though? You're the warden? You're still hanging out with drug addicts and drunks.

You are confusing them with peers, they are not. They do that chit around me now I have a pair of handcuffs and a nice cozy isolation cell for them.
