Arrived at Lakeland AFB at 12:30 AM
Start the next day at 5:30 AM
The TA tried to make us stand in formation
We had to get our uniforms and stuff before breakfast
Food was good
We all went to get hair cuts.
The barber was a comedian
Asked how much hair did I want to save
Then asked if I brought a bag to put it in
So funny
I learned hurry up and wait
Smoke them if you got um
The 4th week recruits sang to us as they marched by
Rainbow rainbow it is true
your recruiter just screwed you
We had a GI party that night
Clean the barracks with tooth brushes
Air Force wasn't my first choice
My lottery number was 25
Uncle Sam was inviting all boys
That is with a lottery number 53

"MULTIVERSE IN TIME"
I chose this song as I have been singing this tune as an eccentric eclectic artist as a woman of 74 years of age. i am not your conventional old lady nor was your conventional young lady. I am a free spirit of sorts. I am empath who have met many patriarchal societies of many men who were so into their manly egos of testosterones without a tear and thought they could control me as a human being. I choose to walk in the light, to care about humanity. If that is political or Godly and they don't like that about me so, be it. It is a good day today. This was written because it's not all about me, but other women in the same situations.
