Post your college age antics. I have a bunch and will enter mingle stories in posts. I went to Midwest state college my blue collar parents could cash flow. I lived a frat life living in the house intermingled with sorority girls and an officer contract with the Marines. It was close to Animal House at times.
First story. I have funnier stories but I’ll try to keep them sorta date oriented.
Fraternity brother and I are bringing cases of beer back to the fraternity before a date party. I’m stacked with beer. We’ve done this beer walk a bunch of times. It happens to be the weekend the state has people in the town to bust the partying. I have more stories about those state encounters. We’re almost to the house when the strike force jumps out of the bushes and busts us. I get stuffed, cuffed and hauled downtown with my buddy. We both get tickets. Underage and he got providing to a minor. We were a year apart. I almost had the cops convinced to drive us back to the arrest spot (house) when they kicked us out for being bothersome. We walk back to the frat party. Nobody missed us except we didn’t go back to get more beer. My pretty date didn’t realize I had been gone that long either. Big party.
My problem is I have signed an officer contract with the Marines which basically gave up all hope if I screwed up. It was the PLC program which is similar to ROTC except the Marines paid nothing. They gave me $100 a month. Beer money. I’m young and dumb thinking the Marines could really screw with me over this. The contract basically said we’ll do with you what the Marines want if necessary. I had fears of becoming an 4 year private cleaning toilets in some good forgotten Asian hole in the wall.
Monday comes around and I call my commanding officer. I tell him the story. He gives me the typical Marine response asking how dumb I was, mother should have raised a better kid, etc etc. After he was done chewing me out, he said I’ll get you out of this and keep you in the Marines. He said he got busted for DUI when he was an officer candidate in college. I laughed.
I show up months later to court. The court is packed with college kids that got busted by the state the same weekend as me. My school liked to party. Hundreds were arrested. I finally make it to the judge and I have a Marine Captain in green uniform standing next to me. Judge looks at me, looks at the Captain, pauses, and asks why am I dragging a Marine Captain around with me. Captain responds with his prepared talk essentially saying the Marines wanted possession of Mr. Moore so they could send him anywhere they wanted. I stood at attention per his order. Judge asked for deeper meaning and the Captain responds no probation so he can go on active duty this summer. Judge goes ok - double fine, no probation. Go pay.
I paid, both of us laughed and he never mentioned again.
