MMmmmmm....9th grade in high school, dealing with a sudden growth spurt of 5 inches in height and 35 pounds.  Most people didn't recognize me when I reported for 2 a days, as I'd grown from 5'9" and 145 lbs to 6'1" and 180lbs in the three months from May to August........ :O

I did that too but only about 7 years later between May 1987 and August 1987. I got sent to a check for steroids since I grew so much. Parents did not notice it either since I was off running and swimming the whole summer.

Was Ssgt, ECM Troop, George AFB, CA.
Workin Debreif for the F-4G Wild Weasel crews most of that year.

On weekends, if I could, I would take my 440 Duster out to LACR and earn a few bucks with it.
That was one of the years they paid me to go race .. always made it into the money, just a blast :)
Was fun to go thru tech, find out there were 96 cars in my bracket, and put most of 'em on the trailer.

Any plans on leaving the 10th grade there?
