Put the Brakes on the World Spinning…#17
After basic training, which was a whole different experience, especially when you take emergency leave in the middle of it, for no other reason, than someone’s else’s selfishness or the hope that I would wash out… I didn’t… No, after being set back for the leave and missing the class on foreign officers, and yep,…

We are now back in America… Japan and Okinawa had a lasting impact on my life… From the age of 14 till I turned 18, we lived in the Far East and I was given the opportunity to go back in 83… By the time we are back in the USA, I had lost most…

USA Bound and I would Walk in Shadow for 57 years…#15
Talking about rape, always puts me in a bad mood and yesterday was no exception as the social media posts found out… Rape is beyond anything… I was strangled to death at 8, I was beat to death at 13 and again at 14… Yet I would rather have endured more of that…. Than to…

Sexual Assault came into play…#13
Okie dokie, lets get into sexual assault, which is part of that first 18 years of life… and not by any of the guys pictures I showed you… No these sexual assaults were moments of opportunity by people I should have been able to trust… (yea for christians)… My first taste of sexual assault was…

Okinawa was my proving grounds…#12
John, Dennis, Tom and Wayne… some of the sweetest guys you will ever meet and all of them headed for Vietnam… circa 1971 and they played a part in my story… They move us out of the hotel and into base housing at Naha and our house was perfect location… Hanging with some friends from…

Naha AFB, A Teen’s Playground…#11
Soldiers and marines, waiting on orders for Vietnam… I prefered Singapore Slings or Whisky Sour’s… That’s me, getting goosed… We stayed in that hotel for a few months and on occasion out of boredom, my sister and I would go out and explore and we came across, “BC street”… and anyone who was ever military…

Ya know, I gotta give it to Freda, she knew how to buy us off with little gifts… She made that dress and I think while we were in a hotel for 3 months… I remember we celebrated my brother’s birthday, which was in Dec and she made a cake in that hotel room… My…

The Mantra that shaped my Future…#8 edited
Time stood still from that moment on… I didn’t know the day, I didn’t know the year, I didn’t know the season… I walked in shadow…. As the cloud of what had happened faded away… We were living in base housing on Johnson AFB and I had no memory of the move out of the…

Johnson AFB, Japan when life changed forever….#7
I had long hair when we left the USA… I remember my aunt Aileen perming it and burned it so bad, that short hair cut and “bangs”, which was Freda’s idea, is how I looked before the stroke… The 3 kids in front were local or neighborhood military brats… the girl next to me… Well…

When Boobs come into Play…#4
Yea, that’s a title that doesn’t quite do the incident at 8 years old justice and nor does it do the memory of my brother justice… He took his own life by refusing cancer treatment… This story and the lies that came with it, cost a life… I wish I could tell you all about…

Kansas Children’s TV Show… and my beating… (at 5)…#3
It is ironic… Once the memory trigger happened in 2017, recalling these disturbing memories at will is harder than living with the PTSD nightmares…. I can’t tell you what show we appeared on, but I remember Freda taking us to a studio and it was a children’s TV show… I was about 5 and my…
