Back in '90, I was on a plane to Great Lakes Naval Recruit Training. One of the guys on the plane told me a story.

Him and 3 of his buddies were trying to buy weed in a BAD part of town. A supposed seller approched their car and they rolled down the window and placed an order. One of the guys in the back pulled out his wallet and the "seller" went for it. They took off, dragging the seller along. He ended up under the rear wheels of the car and they took off.

After reading about a fatal hit and run in the paper, they turned themselves in and told the judge the whole story. This was 1990, mind you and the judge told them, "Military or jail". Two of them joined the Navy and two joined the Army.

I never saw the guy again after bootcamp, but he was a good sailor in bootcamp. Hopefully it did him some good.
