Hello everyone i'm new to hipforums. I'm 20 years old and I live in Kentucky. I just dropped out of college and my girlfreind and I are going through a rough time were practically broke up. Every one in my town is closeminded and most of them are rednecks. I don't fit in I'm liberal and agnostic. I have no freinds here. I want to leave. I'm also in the national guard i'm working on getting out. I signed up when I was 17 my parents had to sign a paper to let me in. It's much harder to get out than to get in. I've changed a lot since I joined to military. I now hate the military and I know that if my unit got activated I couldn't go to Iraq. I don't support the war and I don't think I could shoot anyone. I want to just leave I want to join a commune or just live on the road. Could anyone give me any advice or tell me where I could go?
Well son, how bad do you want to get out. (I guess I'm old, sence you are the first kid I have ever called son) Back in 74, my dad had talked me into going into the army. I went to LAX induction center the night before I was to be sworn in, did some acid with a friend. Didn't sleep all night. I told the sergeant that I had drop LSD. Well , needless to say, they didn't want me. Boy, that was to bad. HA. From what I hear, if you tell them you have dropped, they will kick you out. It's worth looking into. Tell them you had a flashback. Don't say that you have done any recently, tell them that you forgot about taking some at a party and when you had the flashback, it brought it all back.. It should work. And i'm with you, I didn't want to kill anyone either. But I would to protect my friends and family. Right between the eyes!
I would hate to have to kill someone, but like John said, I would to protect my home ,family and friends. And I DO know how to shoot. Peace Love and Hippie Beads <shameless>
Man, all you have to do is tell them you have homosexual tendencies. They wont let you go to war, man. It worked for someone on here. I forget her name, but her husband did it back in the day, man.
Got four magical words that'll solve all your problems... Dont ask dont tell. Say you're gay, they'll drop you like a bad habit, and move to San Fransico or somewhere else cool. God bless the militarys blatent homophobia. You could also 'accidently' chop off a finger or something in the line of duty... you'd lose a finger, but they could probably reattach it, and you'd also get retirement pay for like 20 years... go home a war hero, and you might even get a purple heart or something.
Another thing you could do, which is a lot easier than chopping off a finger, is claiming suicidal tendencies. They'll send you home, and give you perscribed RX's. :sunglasse Good luck, man. Fuck the man.
Yeah, just cut off one of thoes puppies and super glue it to the side of your foot. It'll work. I'm flat footed, I smoke cannabis, I have homosexual tendencies and suicidial tendencies (or that's what I'll tell them). Ha, I don't need to worry about going to war.
Man, your feet are kinda funk. Even if you didn't have the extra toe. Yeah, just act like you're crazy. THe army doesn't want crazy people around. They let a friend of ours out for it..only deal is he really was crazy..
I'm just not signing up for the SSS, and thats that. Its unconstitutional for the government to force its citizens to fight for them, and I will take that all the way to the supreme court if i have to. I'd rather rot in a jail cell that fight for a leader who lied to the people who "elected" him.
get "fuck army" tatooed on the side of your right pinkie. and salute! * all credit for this idea rightfully belongs to abbie hoffman.
yo man you sound like youre headin down a good path. im from the bluegrass too, up in the northern area. wheres you from my brother? and the perty lady from kentucky i saw with a post too....wheres you from?? it'd be nise to meet some other people in this goofy, conservative place; sure is a butyful state but the people aren't so kynd. email me if yall's wan2 @ MirakulouslyDead@msn.com
I want to thank everyone for your advice. I don't think acting gay would work. If it did work I would get lynched by the people who live in my town. I could try cutting my finger off but I don't want to disfigure myself. I like the tatoo idea I may try that lol! I called my unit and told them how I felt they said they would set me up with a chaplin. I should get to talk to him soon. He may say that i'm not able to go. It's worth a shot. A person who is practically atheist relying on a chaplin to solve one of their biggest problems isn't that funny? I'm not going over there no matter what. For the two people on here who asked where I'm from. I'm from Booneville, KY which is located in the eastern part of the state. Where are you 2 from. Everyone keep posting and help me out.
