This would be, like, right before you're going to go to bed.

You've already had your shower, like...

You're about to go to sleep.

They would cover you in sweat and sand and then put you in the barracks.

And if you shook any of it off, if they heard you in your cell trying to get sand off of you, they'd take you back out in the sandbox and make you just roll around in it, PT you until you're sweaty.

You know how it is here in Florida.

You're getting ready to go to the bar.

You take a shower.

You walk to the car.

You need a new shower.

I don't think people who don't live here understand how sweaty you get.

And humid, yeah.

um so at some point i've snapped man like and i was like i remember my friend bird that i had gotten arrested with the first time he we're sitting in jdc and he's like bro you are in for hell on fucking earth if you go to boot camp he's like your best bet is to pretend like you are hearing voices and you are crazy and they're gonna send you some pussy ass program at a hospital and you'll be playing playstation

Like, he's like, you better start on that right now or you're going there and you are going to want to f*** yourself.

That's how bad it is.

Like, so I remember what he said and I was like, I got to beat these guys.

Like, I've already had an abusive father.

I've been in an internment camp in Jamaica.

Like, the streets aren't nice either.

It wasn't like, yeah, I had this fun year living like Fritz the Cat, just older women and stealing.
