10th grade saw us joining the wrestling team.

This section covers

years 15-20

high school through the military.

ah yes, we entered an E-2, exited an E-1

Two steps forward, one E-step back, story of our life.

it was like wrestling, a good outlet to be physical, always wrasslin’ mike anyways

And then he moved out of town huh, so we weren’t as distracted during those final years in school.

naw we wouldn’t even have stayed in wrestling if our team wasn’t so bad, we weren’t the joining type. somehow we made captain and stuck around because it was interesting and it felt like we were needed, good group of guys

Yeah we didn’t really subscribe to that whole

prepare for college

narrative did we?

everyone was a bunch of phonies

Yup, we read

Catcher in the Rye

and other antsy lit. The Autobiography of Malcolm X and other character classics. But I think we had other reasons to initially take a pass on higher education.

what, bad grades and no money?
