Remember The First Time...

Just fill it in. That's right, remember the first time you fell in love,
first kiss, first time you had sex. For me, the first time I caught a
sexual transmitted, well you know.

I was stationed at Ft. Jackson, SC, a training post. I was Permnant
Party, a Truck Driver, hauling Basic Trainees around post. A homegirl,
from .Brooklyn, was a employee, was working in the dentist office. We
hooked up. Three days later, while I was in morning formation, my
Company Commander, pulled me to the side said I had an appointment at
Preventive Medicine Office. I didn't know what that was. Here I was at
20 years old, with already 3 years under my belt in the Army, I was in
Germany for the first 3 years f my tour.

Went to the doctors office. Took a qtip and stuck it in the head of
my..ya know. Wipe it on a slide, looked at it under a microscope, and
said yeah ok. Okay what ? Pull ya pants down an bend over, he gave me a
shot in the ass. If ya never had one of these shots, it hurts like all
HELL. Not the needle, its the medicine IN the needle. After the shot,
pulled my pants up. He said oh no, ya got another one. I almost passed
out from tha pain.

Say my homegirl alter on, about 2 days later, and told her what
happened she said sorry baby, ya know how it is. She had to go thru the
same thing too. BI didn't hold it against her either. I'm all good and
everything, but that was an experience.

My Army buddies told me later on that that's part of growing up in this
Man's Army. Oh well.
