Message:: [QUOTE="CCR, post: 5851, member: 195"]Thank you...Yes service makes men of boys/men child....I know and understand having been a manchild myself..brief story: Having left my home at 13 and living on the streets of the bronx in NY city as a manchild, I believe the hand of God was on me even then..because I survived the streets and my salvation was lying about my age and joining the service at 16 in order to support my new family, Those were very turbulent years, The war had split the nation, civil unrest was a fact of life and all that was needed then to go in service was to pass the military ASVB test,have breath and a pulse.Of Course since many were fleeing to Canada it was easy to join back then I thank God for my journey in life and its not over yet (smile)...if you are a reader there is a book called Manchild in the promised land by Claude Brown its a parallel to my life, then me being an avid reader I read a book called Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Malt while I was in the service it changed my life it taught me how to think..look them up if you like.....also if you don't mind here is a song that says/said a lot to me..by Dion Dimucci..Note:To the moderators/members I hope I am not out of line posting this here as I know I am a guest here...thank you for having/inviting  me.                   [MEDIA=youtube]NeLtvxdVc1Q[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]
