I left home at 17 with a suitcase (mean azzed step father) and moved to south Texas. I kept myself in school, graduated a year later in 66, then did a semester in college. It was very difficult with all the juggling and I decided to go fight my war before it was over and take a break from the grind.

Landed in Parris Island Jan 67, landed in Vietnam a year later and that experience changed my life. I became a Marine by February 68 during TET. Helped make some MC history along with my brothers.
