Congrats. You were a senior when I was pretty much a freshman at SDSU.
I did 5 years in the Navy and ETS'ed.
Biggest problem I had was improving my math. I didn't do any college prep in H.S. because I figured I wouldn't be able to afford college. So my first class in Algebra was at San Diego City. Got a B at least. My reading and writing scores were high but my math was lousy.
Took Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics classes at SDSU and discovered half the people in my classes were taking them for the second or third time. Passed Calculus and Chemistry....but Physics was too much. I still needed more math prep.

We drank a lot of "Carlings Black Label Beer" in quarts back in the fifties. Cheap, not bad beer. Most beer bars would fill your container with beer-to-go cheaply as well.

Strawberry Hill! Couldn't beat 99 cents a bottle either. My future wife and I consumed our share while in college. Boones Farm Wild Mountain was the same wine as Ripple, LOL.
Strawberry Hill was what everyone was drinking besides beer in the early 70s.
MD 20/20 is the preferred tipple of the discriminating wino~
LOL! High School I was still sneaking beers from my Uncle's stash..was never really drunk until I joined the navy.
I discovered Port was the favorite.
Then like me, we made up for all of those dry years, in a very short time.
Getting drunk was all we had to do at the time.
Yup
I remember being in the EM club in Pearl--dime beer and quarter shot night. Bunch of 17, 18, 19 year olds with a roll of dimes in one hand and a roll of quarters in the other.
Next morning the club staff would pick up hundreds in change.

LOL, winos will drink whatever cheap high powered garbage they can get their hands on. Sherry is another one.
The EM club in Pearl doesn't exist anymore. They put up onpost housing apartments.
EM and NCO clubs are pretty much gone. I remember they used to have exotic dancers in the NCO club, till the Navy wives axed that.
I was stationed at Pearl from 75-77 on the Bryce Canyon.
We had bottles of Port out front, and the winos would come in and buy those with whatever change they could scrape together.
I still remember that smell.
I remember when a pitcher of beer was $1.50 at the EM club.
They used to have glass pitchers....but got rid of them because too many got broken over somebody's head.
They replaced them with plastic pitchers.

Mesa had a pretty decent FB team.
The Aztecs were okay, but we always lost to BYU.
I remember seeing Steve Young play us.
It was clear he had pro-level skills.
USS Constant-MSO-427
err....1966-1970---off and on.
We still had mama-sans and their strings of girls, in the NCO club.
Buy a dance or two..then negotiate from there.

My brother was in the Navy in 68 and spent most of his time in the brig after A school.
I think he only did a little over a year before they bounced him out with a BCD.
They got rid of the red district on Hotel Street too.
That's now Chinatown.
I was there in 2006 on vacation during Chinese New Year.
Navy was rough back then. Still were having huge racial issues..race riots on the larger ships and bases.
Of course, Vietnam was rolling then..and a lot of folk joined the navy to avoid the army.
They were often shocked to find that the navy was military also....and that there are 100's of ways to get fucked up aboard a ship at war.
Did they show you this film in Basic? I started it when the action starts...was a 3 minute rundown before.
Anyway..the Constant was cruising about 700 yards away in front of the Forestall when this happened

I was long gone from Mesa where I'd get stoned between classes. Stopped that shit at state.
