There is sometimes just a time to say "Good On Ya". Srsly, good work.
My schooling was very much atypical: I went to a different school every single year, because we moved around so much, for whatever reason (I still don't know the reason). So I was always the new kid on the block. I completely skipped the 5th grade, because my adopted parents got divorced when I was 10 y.o. and neither wanted me, so they put me in a boys' camp for a year and a half. That was pretty cool, though - no school, and we got to take canoe trips to You are not allowed to view links.

Every year the stuff they'd teach at whatever school I was at would be the same stuff I'd been taught the previous year at whatever other school I'd been at. So it was very boring, though my grades were pretty good. During the 10th grade I was at Skyline high in Dallas, living at Buckner's Orphan's Home. I started the 11th grade, but I got in trouble with the law, as I mentioned, and went "on the lam" until caught. They were going to give me 10 years probation, but since I was (just barely) old enough to join the service, they let me join the Navy. This was in 1973, and that was the last of any schooling for me - except for the school of hard knocks.
